New Style TBD Map

New map I've worked on. Please upload it to main servers for testing lamster, and hit me with a reply here when you do. Thanks.

Some notes: No new art, just cave art. If it takes off, hopefully someone can do the art for it. Map is basically a remixed grotto.

Has some twists that I hope will benefit team play. Spawn points for teams occur above and away from base. You spawn near a team item and near a bomb. The bombs are shared though! Presenting some interesting opportunities for folks to sneak in and take them. Team item and nearby turret hopefully give big advantage though. Map has potential for crazy play such as 4 shared bombs being live at the same time.

I'm open to all suggestions in terms of improving the map. This is intended to be a rough outline. Even if people hate it, I think it at least presents a new opportunity for play. Even if I make the bombs team and not shared, I still feel the map will be different than our current TBD's.

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Looks interesting, I'm curious to see how it plays.

my immediate thought though is that the spawn area might need more protection than just the one turret to prevent spawn camping.

wellp, i cant get it to work (the download is ~70kb, is it suppose to be that small?) but that does look somewhat good. also i think that map style (the spawn isolated from base) could be a good to test the Capture the Bomb game style!!.

coke. you need to use file menu->export->export downloadable map and upload the .altx file.

Also, your spawn points should be uniform in my opinion. I know it's a minor detail, but it's just as easy to select all the spawn points on one side and copy them together and then flip them horizontally. I say this because on the green side there is one spawn that looks like it runs right into a wall right when the person spawns. I think it's good to be uniform so that people don't get confused when playing for different teams.

Thanks Karl. Knew I did something wrong.

New map file, which hopefully works.

Spawn points updated as per maimer's suggestion.
