It's just the screenshot. It's not that dark in actual gameplay

Please add deathmatch starts Sad

EDIT: Also, please make sure you're using the new CTF standard. Flags are 5130 (blue) and 5131 (red). Player starts are 5080 (blue) and 5081 (red). Just type the number into the thing type number field in your map editor.

actually i don't think you should add DM or P1 starts if you want it to be compatible with ST. if you're not bothered about that then it would be polite, yes.

ok, just took a look and i had no clue what was going on in map01. i shouldn't have to open it up in DB to figure things out
first i was annoyed i got stuck by the waterfalls (between the slopes and the end of the 'pier'). then the deeper pits in the water bugged me, there's allsorts of HOM in there. couldn't figure out how/if the ladders were supposed to work and ditto for the bars into the bases.
but hey, aside from those paper-thin ceilings you have going on (at the upper passageways where the torches are) then this looks like it could be interesting basically i think you just forgot to tag a lot of stuff for DM play.

and map02 looks like it could be fun too but again, if i run something in CTF mode i expect to be able to play it and not have to work out what things should do. being a first-time mapper then this is all excusable but please test it before you post it for others to look at Wink

and maybe it's just the way you took the pic of map03 or the fact that it's a work-in-progress but those miles of ceiling which are all one unbroken flat are a real turn-off.

Ok, Sharkie, time to answer some questions Smile

Since this is my first CTF WAD, I have no idea (and by no idea I mean none) of how to set the server. For first place, I have been trying to make "Deep Water" work on staircases so you can climb them (like in tlsxctf), but it seems that it don't work at all in DM. The water pits in map one, have the Deep Water too. Maybe you got bugged by having to climb that things. And what you mean that I miss a lot of stuff to tag?

About comments of MAP02, yeah the wad is not intended to be a completely playable wad, I still wanted to check a little details like asking this things. For MAP02 seems to be playable, but it seems I still need to add those tags your telling me.
I tested map on ZDOOM and ZD as well, but since I haven't been able to set the correct DMflags for a server don't have checked it online.


On map 03, nah I just cut the ceiling. The Map is like that. Hope you can help me with this little things Cybershark. I would be very grateful.

ok, for the tags i mean the flags on the things in the map. i just don't like saying flags because then it gets confused with CTF flags Razz
all your items (except for the 3D mode start) should have the following flags set:
Easy
Medium
Hard
Singleplayer
Multiplayer
Deathmatch

realistically for a CTF map then you probly only need the 'Hard' and 'Deathmatch' flags but it's better to cover all eventualities.

what you seem to be trying with the water is indeed possible. can't think of a single damn example map you could look at atm though Sad

if you want to test CTF maps offline in Zdaemon then go to the ZLAUNCHER.INI file in your zdaemon directory.
simply open it up in notepad, head down to the section labelled '[SP_Mode]' and right after that add the line
Code:
ctf=2


(just make sure you only edit it while the launcher is closed or i'm not responsible for any adverse side-effects! Razz)

oh and i forgot to say that you missed some textures on the sides of slopes in map02 Wink

Everything worked perfectly... except 1 thing. It seems that I respawn on blue team spots even if I am in red team... I have rechecked my map and Things number is set correctly. It respawn in both, I mean, I sometimes respawn on red team spots and sometimes on blue team. Do you know whats going on?

EDIT: I think I found the problem... forgot to set Enable Team Starts

I set up a Test Server about 2 hours ago, and got help from about 10 players that actually help me to test maps. I found a incredible number of bugs and this will be repaired soon.

Bugs list:

MAP01
- Got the advice to set the stairs texture like a line and not like part of the sector
- Lots of problems with water and some sector without deep water
- Unknown texture and flats in some parts

MAP02
- Some flags (textures) are making the map look kinda weird
- For some reason the red entrance lower when you wall on a place that it's not intended to.
- Unknown textures and flats in some parts
- Doors thats leads to flags seems to have some problems opening and closing.

I'll try to correct this problems and upload a new version very soon. I'll be running another test server soon. For instance, MAP03 is almost done and I have already started 04.

Thx for the help and advises.

Is there a number list for all items, flags, enemys, weapons, etc and if so where can one get this list?

I've been trying to make a map with earthquakes , etc.

Tks.. Cool

Update (beta2):

Beta2 is here, and I have finally added the GFX graphics. I would really appreciate if you can download my wad just to check them and give your opinion about them. I'll take suggestions and rants just to improve them in a future version. Also, some bugs repaired in the new maps

{ Link Removed: New Version }

New Maps SOON!! Very Happy

hey my grass Surprised

alright, I'll try to be helpful, I'll list things that I know players do like in ctf maps...

Like: more than one way in and out of the base, smaller halls for quick defensive offense, easy to defend middle areas, and easy access to the flag ie: in plain sight.

For the first map I found it would probably be too hard to get into the base at first, also the ladder is extremely hard to spot. If you want to keep it like that i'd suggest putting another ladder entrance on the opposite side of the base.

The second map is loads better than it was in rfactf. You fixed most of the things that i told you would be a problem Wink thought you probably did it because a lot of people complained. lol Like i told you they would D:

3rd map feels pretty barren not a whole lot going on... the halls are a little too big and the map just feels too expansive, the high ceilings and wideness of the rooms attribute to that. Even with these flaws, it has potential, don't give up on it just yet. Maybe change the theme from brown to something a little more like what you've been doing.

Fourth: Again, a little barren, i'm guessing thats because they're not as worked on as the first two. In the bases the square metal flat does not look good sloped like that in my opinion. You could trace the flat, that might look better, or use a different one. The lighting is too bright on this and the one before as well, again attributable to these being newer. A few brightness variations go a long way.

Hope that helps you improve your maps and stuffz.
