could I get a slot?

Finally an original st ctf map pack that will work in 97 that isn't a clan wad! But why not just make the maps ctf with white flags somewhere? That way it can be played for both gamemodes.

Also RBCTF has 1flag.

This sounds pretty epic. I might decide to get in on this, but I'll confirm it later.

You mean like the Skulltag maps have? Yeah I agree with that .

@BvF: Sure dude

@Catman847: Ofcourse, mapping or testing?

@Hex_vulture: Yes, the maps will be CTF compatible to so you can play both gamemodes, but my target is to let people play more One flag capture the flag because there arent so much wad's for OCTF

Here are some screenies of my map!

I want a Slot in mapping, Also a Slot for Testing

@Xaver: If possible, both

Ok, signed you both up

YAY! now its time to finish up my map I have been working on

Sign me up for testing Xaver

Why does everyone tell people they can't use any new textures in projects nowadays? Part of what makes some maps look really good is unique textures being used, instead of doom2 shit over and over again.

I guess it just depends on the opinion of who's running the project. If I don't allow textures (and I'll explain my reasoning in a sec), then I'll atleast try to compile a texture resource wad to get away from the normal Doom2 stuff (however, if its for Skulltag...there's already a massive amount of textures in the Skulltag.wad). The reason why I may not allow custom textures to be used is because if everyone starts piling textures into their wads, it can cause a couple of things to happen. Number one, you end up with a massive amount of textures that take up a lot of room. If one map is just using X number of texture and the rest aren't, it's not a very efficient use of resources. Also, depending on who sends in the map, you can have X number of textures that aren't even being used. Secondly, there can be conflicts...and trust me, this happened to me a number of times during SMDM's development. It's a pain in the ass to find and rename textures just to prevent conflicts and to remove any redundant textures.

I'm all for new textures however, I agree with your reasoning Laz. But sometimes limiting or even disallowing the use of new textures can be better for a project's health...I guess it really all depends on who's leading up the project

This is looking really cool so far. One suggestion I have, though, is to use a midtexture other than STEPTOP for your bridges. Using the same 16-tall metal supports from the sides of them would probably work best, but pretty much anything would be better than STEPTOP.

Me too

I've got some screenies for my map.







I'm probably going to add some ACS fog for the 1st pic's lit areas and maybe some more islands in between the bases

Looks very bland and empty, not to mention the first screenshot could use better textures and/or better variety.

@Mechadon: Signed you up

@Afterworldruner: Slot SOCTF04 is yours.

@Wartorncove: Ok signed you up.

@Esselfortium: I'll see if I can change it :P

@Catman847: Try to at more details outside like rocks and trees, im sure that will make the map allot better.

@Lazureus: I agree what Mechadon said about the conflicts with new textures, thats a reason why I dont want them in this wad

My map is almost finished, its about 90 % done

>.>......<.<......>.>

Keep this confidential Xaver...I may have a map that you can use for this. Shhh!!
