ClanBase Map Proposal

(Thalakos) #1

Hi all,

I’m Thalakos, ClanBase OpenCup Co-Supervisor and NationsCup IX Supervisor.

I had an idea for a “show event”. We would chose two national teams to face each other. The match would be played in a map that could enable a clash of the 12 players. I’ve dreamed this with an arena with opening gates or one tunnel for each team leading to the collision zone.
This would be a non-tactical all aiming skill smg only medics and fields ETTv broadcasted show. This show would be done in the same day of the group release, 28 December. I know it’s a short period but it would be great!

I wanted to know if there is someone interested in the making of this map.

Thankx in advance

I thought of this before, like a larger version of ET_Headshot(1/2).

I can help with the script, but I can’t guarantee I’ll make the map. I’ve got too much to do right now and was planning a special holiday map to be done the 25th of december…
So we’ll probably run out of time. Or could you put another date on it? :???:

The map doesn’t have to be bigger than et_headshot, it just have to support more player entrances (with a tunel would be cool) and that “ground configuration” is not necessary.
Two tunnels take to an arena where people just kill in an open space.

This really has to be done until 27th December.

I was thinking of a flat terrain with a few trenches (half a man deep), and 3-4 “emerge points” (places where players can get out of the spawn place and into the arena)
I’ll give it a try, but again, I can’t guarantee it 'll be done or well playable. I’ll mainly focus on gameplay once I start.

WeeBull’s “arena” looks good IMO:

Add two entrances for the gladiators and you’re done :slight_smile:

That map looks good but the one for the “show” should have no trees, buildings, etc in the arena nor row of seats.
Two spawns underground through tunels that lead to a gate that when both sides are activated open. An arena a little bigger than the one of et_headshot with the cup logo in the middle would be great and to some pro map designers wouldn’t be that hard.

Hope someone has some free time to work this idea.

i would love to do this, but i’m going on a holiday the 24th so i would have about 5 days to make this map and i have to go to school too. if the one who’s going to make this map needs some help, i’m willing to help but i don’t have the time to make the entire thing :frowning:

(kamikazee) #8

I’ll give the arena a try this week. (So no work on spawns, just the central piece)

NOTE: Is it OK to show the logo in the spawn and wait areas instead of the central area?
I was more thinking of a poster-sized image (think the wooden wall-boards), but to show those a few times in the spawn and wait quarters.

(Thalakos) #9

I think the map should only have one logo and so it should be placed in the middle of the arena. It will look much better!

Sounds interesting, but I’m done supporting the comp community.

(Thalakos) #11

Too bad Ifurita, I love your work and so does the comp comunity!
This is a map to promote the friendly spirit between nations. My idea is to put all the chosen Team-Captains playing this and then release the NationsCup IX groups.

You could try to use the following map:

Although there’s an objective (“dominating” the flag) it’s a good arena.

(redRum) #13

If you are interested on the Stonehenge map I could make a few changes to it (ie remove the flag, or what you need), altho I honestly think a flat terrain would work better for an aiming oriented match.

(kamikazee) #14

I’m currently giving this map a try. I think I’m not going to make it further then ‘first playable’ or an early alpha till the day of the event.
If it’s playable you could see this as a private test especially for clanbase.

If you’re still interested (and aren’t using Stonehenge or some other map), please PM me a link to a highres logo for the cup. (Highres = something about 256x256, not wasted by JPEG or GIF compresion. PNG is fine.)

@kamikazee I had talked with him last week (via Email)and he was supposed to send me the logo. However, he has not contacted me nor replied to any e-mails.

  • I also have a map in alpha stage but gave up on building it after I could no longer contact him.

I just don’t want you to waste your time trying to contact this runaway task-asker.

(kamikazee) #16

Well, I thought of releasing a FP or private alpha to him, and then see if I could send the completed version in for your mapping challenge. :slight_smile:

sounds good
