Thanks for hosting it :) 1. You mean the diagonal platform on top? There's two teleporters that will take you directly there. They're inside drivethrough pyramids. 2. There are 4 other ways to get up other than the jump pads. (1) On two sides of the map (the sides without bases), you can climb a pyr...

JeffM: Oh ok I'll try that, thx for info.
No, it's not for no-jumping maps. It's for all maps. You can change the zmin and zmax values so you can work on different layers of your map.

Argh
I followed this tutorial which said it makes it into an exe but I guess it didn't work.

I'll try to find another way to make an exe -- but for now it won't work on windows.

New Version, 1.3. (July 2010) If you got an error that said "TTF Error," this fixes it. Basically, the code to find out where the blinky typing cursor is doesn't work with the latest version of sdl_perl (I think), so I just commented out that code. So now there is no cursor while typing. I...

I like it... Nice job! A few problems, though: 1. some of the boxes are inside each other, making that flashy texture problem. 2. I found that some of the boxes were too high to easily jump on, and some were so low that you would accidentally jump over them. (in my opinion) 3. It isn't real obvious ...

Usually I just start with an random idea and then open a text editor and start to make it. The map never really looks quite like what I'd planned it to look like, but it still has the original idea I started out with... and then I have a finished map. :D Sometimes I'll write a quick PHP script to ge...

Map updated to 1.2. I found that there were lots of places you could drop the team flag that were completely inaccessible. (such as on the top walls in the elevators) Now fixed in 1.2. that exploding tank: There are screenshots... Look at the first post Marzipan: Thanks for hosting it. Now you can p...

Thanks for the comments! It's not hosted anywhere currently, but if/when it gets hosted, I'll post the server:port so you can see it. :D Edit: hosted at bzfmaps.net:7003 Yes, you do have to sit still on the escalators. I don't think it's possible to make it not do that. It works by using physics dri...

This is my map called "Elevators & Escalators." It is a no jumping map where you have to use escalators and elevators to go to different heights. http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/2567/screen2fc9.th.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8237/screen1re6.th.jpg Thanks for looking! Curr...

After downloading that map, I stripped its escalator code into only the important code... and I figured out that the reason my escalators weren't working was because of the bottom face on my mesh. face vertices 0 1 2 3 matref escalator2tex phydrv escalator2 endface face vertices 3 2 1 0 matref boxwa...

I updated the map. Now it's version 1.3 Fixed a bug where you'd spawn on top of the spawn shield instead of inside it... and I fixed a few other minor things. that exploding tank: Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. Jack1: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. This map is currently being hosted at 0.mo...

I'm trying to make a slope you can go up in one of my maps. It is supposed to bounce the tank up and diagonally a small amount, so that it looks like you are "moving" up the slope. I've heard this is possible (and I think I saw it in a map once), but can't get it to work. I've tried fiddli...

Hey! What's with the screen shots of me blowing up?

PETER wrote:That would ruin the whole theme of it.

You could make an invisible ceiling. Then the shots would ricochet but you could still see the sky.

This map it currently being hosted at 0.moooo.org:5161 (Thanks! :) ) After being able to play with real people, I found some problems with the map and fixed them in v1.1. They are fixed in the new version v1.1 I uploaded to the main post. In v1.1: Fixed spawn killing and flag capture spawn killing F...

Thanks! What do you mean by "put it up sometime" or "try putting it on a mofo server or on gnurdux"? Don't the owners of those servers have to choose a map and put it up themselves? That would be great if it could get hosted, though :) Any suggestions/bugs/comments on the map? Th...

You create a "link", which links teleporters together.
Each teleporter has two sides, front and back, so for a one-way teleporter, you would do something like link from the back of your teleporter to the back of your teleporter, making it bounce back if you shoot from the wrong side.

This is my new map, called "One Way". It is filled with one-way walls and jump-through blocks. It is two team CTF, red vs blue. It was written entirely in a text editor. Here are some screen shots of the map. Overhead view of entire map: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3779/bzfi0009rt0....

Textured.
Do you like the textures?
I can put it up on norang. want me to?

;)

I like it. but it needs textures and walls to make it look underground.....

I can add some textures etc if you want me too....

The Knights Who Say Ni: cool! thanx for the screenshots

nightmare: to make an arc just replace "box" with "arc". it will make a cillinder. to make it hollow add this line:

ratio NumberBetween1and0

so:

arc
name arc
position 0 0 0
size 25 25 25
ratio 0.1
end

--f_p

Here's the map!
what do you think?
I'll have some screenshots sometime....


also, i was wanted to know if there was a way to make objects (in maps) by telling where the vertexes are instead of using position and size....
