ChaosCore CTF

Current version: Map pack II
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dl34oat3kvgscil/ChaosCoreCTFmpII-zdb.zip?dl=0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o486kocpiaw

After years of on and off work, we're finally releasing a segment of the project. While it wasn't our initial intention to release it separately, it's obviously the most efficient way when considering a project with this kind of goal. In hindsight, it should have been planned like this from the start; However, this project can finally see the light of day. Releasing in segments has also allowed us to focus on the maps that are going to be released rather than focusing on all 50 maps at once; Allowing for more focus on quality control.

We have finalized the first map pack and is intended to be released by May 22nd 2015. I am currently talking with server admins and we expect to have servers running in North America and Europe on both Zandronum and ZDaemon upon release. The thread will be updated day of and we expect everything to run smoothly.

This thread will continue to be updated as we release more maps and update map packs for potential unforeseen bugs. If you notice anything upon release that you believe needs to be fixed, please let us know.

Delta has been released.

Fixes;

Core01 - texture alignment and fixed the numbers texture for zdaemon.
Core03 - Scrapped the floor sequence under the bridge to reduce lag.
Core10 - modified the map so that the flag wouldnt get lost between the crates, also fixed the texture in the background for zdaemon.
Core13 - SSG wasnt on the chaoscore floor decal in the red base.
Core17 - The GRATE texture was not impassible.

I have heard that Core09 lags, however I am unable to replicate this on my PC using max resolution and OGL etc... If people continue to complain and give me ideas of what could be causing this so I can help alleviate this issue I will then proceed to fix this.

If you have any other complaints, please let me know.

It's really fun a lot of attention is paid to detail, especially detail that does not obstruct gameplay. Like outdoor scenery, smooth corners, and glass floor effects. Hope to play some more soon.

It was fun playing with Caboose, Doomkid, and Trippa, +1 other guy

I am pleased to announce that ChaosCoreCTFmpII is now live. This installment introduces 10 new maps, and changes to some of the prior maps from mp I. This version also includes the lobby map Core00 so that people are able to identify the maps for Private CTF sessions; While Core00 isn't completed just yet, it is able to do exactly what it is intended for. Expect more additions to this map in mpIII

The next installment of mpIII while has a lot of progress, still needs a lot of work. I plan on taking another break from mapping for awhile, so expect to see mpIII sometime next year.

For now, I hope you all enjoy all of the hard work that has went into this and I thank you.

I assume you mean the flag sprite? That's the Zandronum flag sprite as these screenshots were taken with zandronum. Normally when we play we use a sprite replacement wad, I can agree with you there. It doesn't replace any sort of sprite on the flags for zdaemon, so that won't be a problem.

This map pack is going to be put on the DUI ZDaemon Public CTF server along side zdmegactf.

I have tested this wad and criticized it heavily and I got to say I am highly impressed with the job the Caboose and the Team at Chaos Core have done. The maps are exciting for beginners and present different strategies for those advanced players. I can't wait to play a few games with people who haven't played on them yet to see how they react and learn the maps as I believe they are very intuitive. GLHF everyone!!

Again thanks to the whole team and a special shot out to Caboose for his long hours and hard work on this wad.

Yes, I meant the flag sprites. I'm glad to read that they aren't part of the deal here. Smile

These maps are a sorely needed shot in the arm for CTF. The map rotation had been a bit stale for quite a while now. Hats off to everyone involved.
