Attached is a few screenshots and the map file from a new map I have made called "Pandemonium". It is a red vs. green CTF map, designed to use the plugins: flagStay, timedctf, and teamflagreset. Note that it will not run without the flagStay plugin associated with the server.

The map is not hosted yet, and 2 of the textures reference a URL that does not exist yet. I have asked Thumper to run it; until then, the map will not load those 2 textures.

** Updated map file 01/07 (R1). Changes: broke apart larger mesh definitions for faster rendering (higher fps) and added barriers to prevent laser sniping from side buildings to base castles.

** Updated map file 01/07 (R2). Changes:

* Made transports with texture matrices to make them "move" (per trepan's suggestion).
* Added laser blockers to prevent laser shots through upper teleporters (center transporters) down to base ground level.
* Added lines for loadplugin: "loadplugin plugins/timedctf" and "loadplugin plugins/teamflagreset".
* Added flag blockers to prevent dropping team flags into flames
* Upped shot speed a bit to increase range a little.
* Reduced shockwave radius a bit - was a little too extreme.

god is the map good

its your best map after lasermania

Wow. Looks like 2 castles parked right next to each other. I love the conveyor belts that head right into blue laser beams. Great job.

Bloody Hell. (Can I say that?)

Louman, judging by those screenshots that looks beautiful.

I have no idea how you churn these out so fast. It takes me weeks to make maps, and nowhere near the quality of these.

Maybe he has em all planned out, then works on one and releases it, then fixes another and releases that 2 days later.

Very Nice, Can't Wait to play it!!!

Great map, I'd say your best work. What I was surprised about was how playable it is. The plugins combine with the map in an almost seemless manner and forces you to play not just CTF, but very good, calculated CTF.

Awesome job.

First impression, not up to the bar you've set. After about 15 minutes, It became quite more interesting, probably because the server started to fill up, about 6 players a side.

Overall, good.

o wow those screenshots are really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
i still dont get how you make those awesome maps but it seems that every louman map is at the top of coolness!!!!!!
really amazing!!!!!!!

It's good. Very challenging and well made.

Holy mother Father.....!

Eh..I don't think so. Ever is a big one, and I think that the Hix map is better overall. Maybe best visually, but in gameplay terms, I think it lacks something.
