Or you can have objects below z 0, but just add this code to stop it from happening... material name grass texture std_ground end meshbox position 0 0 0 size 400 400 0.1 #change the 400's to fit your world size rotation 0 matref grass end Note: You have to have "-sb" in your options otherw...

That would ruin the whole theme of it.

Yeah, there are some bugs, that's because the entire map was made in blender by:

1. Adding a plane
2. Subdividing it
3. Subdividing it
4. Subdivide multi fractal

The first thing that comes to mind is that the map is a little empty, especially the floor. And also there isn't that much opportunity for rico since the only objects that are on the floor are pyramids which will just deflect the bullets straight up. But other than that, there seem to be some good s...

I like it, I's always interesting to see stuff like this.

Thanks guys for all the comments. And thanks for hosting!

The fog was always there. You can edit this map and post it here if you want, I'm working on a new map right now so this wont get worked on by me.

You can turn fog off in your client:

Options > Effects > Fog

No, not yet, but all the hosters out there... pretty pretty please

I've found that navigating over non-level terrain is an under-developed skill with most bzflaggers. Another place where this skill can be practiced is Louman's Alpine Adventure. I will add it to the list of essential skills that every bzflagger should develop. Yeah, I think it is an under-developed...

It can't have flags, sure I could put them on a platform or something but...
I don't really want this to be a flag map. I think the scale of the map really gives it the `explore factor`. If you want to add any flags on platforms or scale it down your more than welcome to.

Thanks, hopefully someone will host it sometime. But even if they don't it's just fun to make maps. Back when I was using BZEdit I would have never have dreamed that I'd be putting textures or mesh's in my maps, or objects other than boxes and pyramids.

No, remember there is _noClimb 0 on it. When me and ahs3 were playing it it was actually quite fun, and because there are no flat faces, the battles between players as they fight are more intense. It is surprisingly easy to maneuver on the hills.

This map I made in about 20 minuets, and I really like it :) It is set in big grassy hills, I would post a screenshot or two of it but there would be no point because of the fog. All of the hills are just one object (screenshot of the object in blender).... http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x235/PE...

This is my best map, and is my best looking map too :) It's a CTF, red vs blue. This map is kind of special because it's my first map with mesh. I love mesh :) Almost half the production time of this map was spent on skype talking to ahs3 about various problems I was having and him telling me how to...

I'm almost certain that's a fake.

"The River Map"

This is my best map so far, it will be finished next week, and at the moment has no planned host *wink wink*, here is a sneak preview
Please give me you thoughts on it.

Mofo, and I spawned near one of the pyramids.

Or you can use a site like Photobucket or Image shack.

Then add a water texture to it

Looks great! You could add a rotating texture matrix for the sink water, just a thought.

There is a photobucket account...

Name: ahs3_PETER
Password: bzflagbzflag

...with a load of textures on it, your welcome to use them, it has quite a few, and anyone is welcome to logon/add textures in the account. All of them work as textures and are around the 400x400 pixel size.

nice, although some diffuse on that water would be better.

Okay, here's a 101 screenie
