I made a new poll, with only yes and no's

So if it get's a good enough yes to no ratio, will that convince you to put it on ssd?

Can we have Lost City back into the tbd ladder map pool, not on random rotation but just so we can vote it once in a while.

Atmosphere came into random rotation today. The gameplay was very nice but the team oppisite mine played 4 whales, simply because its a good whale map. It was fun overall and we did have some great plays. There is an explo problem tho.

I think we just switched because our defense wasn't looking good, then we got too defensive and couldn't push. I don't really think there's that much of an explo probelm..

Haha, Ssd you better be prepared, Polio and I are on a map making frenzy. We have released 4 maps in the past 6 days, and have updated 2 of them at least once. More coming soon too.

drunkguava · #93 02-06-2011, 12:53 AM

ball_factory and ball_cloudcity are ready for ladder play imo. I havent been around lately so I don't know the process, but I thought I'd let you guys know. Played on both quite a bit today and had a lot of fun.

the only thing about factory, imo is the bigass gear in the middle. I'm not convinced it's as good as it can be, but i think some (non-random) ladder play would bring up some good suggestions. I think funnelparking it might be cool, but I think people want to move away from those sorts of designs...

shrode · #94 02-11-2011, 07:38 AM

atmosphere is terrible. ufo is great. switch the two please!

mikesol · #95 02-11-2011, 07:51 AM

Agree with shrode. Atmo is solely about which team can trick shot or break away the best. It loses the ball feel a lot of other maps have currently. It's a great map for having contests of who can make the best crazy wild shots but horrible in actual competitive play.

That is exactly why I don't like it. It plays too much like a random bounce-fest, and teams get punished too hard for pushing because breakaways happen too fast.

On the other hand, ball_ufo plays much more like traditional ball maps, only there are many more options than most maps which I love. The lanes are beautifully designed. The bottom is sweet with that triangle, allowing both cool offensive and defensive passes/clears while not being completely overprotected like funnelpark. The middle route is a little open, but that is good to prevent whale turtling, and the top route is surprisingly strong for a change. Great diversity in the gameplay from what I have seen so far, and I enjoy the obstacles at midfield.

It's come to my attention that bowserscastle has a ball counterpart!?!!?

Also, a complete list of community maps, with pictures for easy viewing!

lol, I did all the work and added all basically all of those maps to wiki

elxir · #99 02-18-2011, 10:22 PM

Well who knew!

sunshineduck · #**100** 03-18-2011, 07:41 AM

bump for me finally getting around to updating the maps.

check teh news!

noobage · #**101** 03-24-2011, 06:48 PM

Has anyone considered adding tbd_chamber. I often call votes for it in public servers and people seem to like it.

elxir · #**102** 03-29-2011, 07:41 AM

sooo is maze just going to die off because people refuse to test it

or can we just go the volcano/ice route and say **** it, let's do this thing

Welcome to development purgatory.

elxir · #**104** 03-29-2011, 09:01 AM

will you be my sponsor

these are trying times

silent skies · #**105** 04-02-2011, 04:09 AM

I would like to know if tbd_sanctum is ready for ladder play. (First post in thread updated with latest info)

sunshineduck · #**106** 04-02-2011, 05:27 AM

i'll throw it in the custom start function when i get time, but i don't know that it's immediately ready for the random rotation. the last time i played it i think there was the low wraparound, and the map just seemed way too huge. i don't think you've adjusted the length any, but i admittedly haven't played an entire 5v5 game on it yet so i'll reserve further judgement.

silent skies · #**107** 04-02-2011, 06:54 AM

It is still the same length, but the bottom wraparound was moved. Map height was reduced by 300 pixels, and the terrain has been reformed many times.

There seems to be some performance issues regarding parralax (similar to underpark problems from yesteryear) ... working to fix right now.

silent skies · #**108** 04-02-2011, 08:42 AM

Seems that the performance issues have been fixed. Please see the thread for the latest changes and the map file.

Nikon · #**109** 05-04-2011, 05:53 PM

ball_ice updated, V.3.2

elxir · #**110** 05-09-2011, 08:30 PM

feel free to add tbd_cross (below) and tbd_maze (already in the server) to the rotation so we aren't ****ed into playing neutral bomb maps that take 20 minutes in a full server

http://www.mediafire.com/?0q24ri8vz74f0t0

[Y] · #**111** 05-09-2011, 08:35 PM

I propose we move all neutrals out of random rotation and, if needed, replace with maps like cross, chess, tron, sanctum (if it's not already in), etc.

elxir · #**112** 05-09-2011, 08:37 PM

chess and tron are both pretty sweet imo..
