As you all know we have paintball on creative since a few weeks. Awesome! But... not many arenas. Soo..! Now you can help aswell building arenas! This is how it will work: Reply to this thread with the following form: Arena name : Plot warp (ex. /p h:3 AquaXV) : Max lives : Respawns : Grenades on spawn : Also provide some screenshots to make it easier to choose! We will use a public voting system for the new plots which means, YOU decide the new arenas! Every posted arena will be up for voting; up-vote by liking the arena, down-vote by unliking the arena (Votes don't do anything to your forum account, don't worry). When an arena gets X (yet to decide) up-votes the arena will be added to the cycles! Arena specs: - An arena can only be 61x61 blocks in size (without outer walls; we will provide those). - Make your arena unique, this will most likely get you more votes. Now get building some arenas!! PAINTBALL!!!!
Question: Why do arena's need to be the limited size of 63x63? As a map creator on the Source Engine, I'm more interested in making maps large and open to allow for more unique features such as gameplay and detail to be added. And as for your coding Aqua, I'm not sure how far your coding goes, but do you think it'd be possible to create several game type variants like King of the Hill, Control Points, Capture the Flag, TDM (Though that's probably what it is already), and other gamemodes we could probably come up with?
It's just a question. Sheesh. I'd just like to know why because 63x63 doesn't seem to be a very large area for something like that. :/ And yes, I'm satisfied with stuff.
Big maps are no fun because when you are playing something such as 3v3 your are just running around trying to find people. On another note lets not have this convo here because Aqua made this thread for the maps and not discussion. So if a staffie could delete these please
No need to delete, he has a right to state his opinion here. If every thread was centered around what the thread topic is.. Well, half the comments on this forum would be deleted
Running around trying to find people is much more fun when you actually do find them. Small open spaces just become an annoyance after 5 spawn grenades to the face. Also staffie lol, that's my thing
No it really doesn't, I've played the first 150x150 that we turned into candy land and it was easy to find people due to it being pretty much a flat map but if we were to play on a very detailed large mage it would be impossible because you would never run into anyone and people would start to hide. The map I help make (with purple) was fun to make and later on fun to play a quick game of paintball but anything bigger just wouldn't work with such small teams.
I don't mean like really big detailed maps with loads of places to hide, just something moderately big with a few buildings and a big open area in the middle with a statue or something
It has to be 61x61 because then I can fit 4 arenas in 1 plot, and put the arenas close together to limit server load on teleporting players. And I can't add new gamemodes; I didn't create this plugin, I would have to rewrite it from scratch which I did not realy plan on doing
Well, I have this that I just made. Arena name : Haven Plot warp : /p h:2 Legopossible2 Max lives : 10 Respawns : 8 ? Grenades on spawn : 2 Theres some tunnels underneath as well as a hidden slenderman There are 2 red spawns in the open and two blue spawns behind the buildings yellow spawn is in the top of the tower EDIT: Scince you randomly changed the number from 63 to 62, I've gone back and changed the arena a little. Screw screenshots, I'm too tired.
Arena name : The Marginal Mind (TMM) Plot warp (ex. /p h LeagueofJohn_C) : Max lives : 5 Respawns : 4 Grenades on spawn : 3 Additional Info: I started building... and couldn't stop so I used the whole plot? Is that acceptable? A chat in game and any ideas to make it smaller would be nice!
