New Map: Canyon2_beta

(shadrach) #1

Hello everyone, I’ve been visiting this forum off and on since summer 2003 or so but in a strange twist of fate always found answers to my questions without ever having to post. I’ve got this thing that I’ve been working on for awhile and I think I may have finally got it releasable. It’s got a few textures and stuff that aren’t quite up to par yet but it plays pretty well in theory. The map and some screenshots are up at http://home.austin.rr.com/shadrach It’s probably better suited for larger servers, but I played it last night 1 vs 2 and had a pretty good time. Let me know what y’all think.

Hi!
Cool map! Must download and try it.
Here is a screenshot from the map:

I start thinking about space settlements, Mars etc., which is cool.
A similar map for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars would be a killer!

Very nice looking map and looks really big nice job

Nice looking indeed, although i feel a littleirritated looking at the screenshots.

Since you’re mapping for ET which is some kind of WW2 related, I’d say those
screens look a little too science-fiction-ish. But keep on, with ET:QW there might
be a game that provides the right setting for this map.

Don’t get me wrong here, this map looks great - I just think the style doesn’t
really fit into the ET WW2 theme :wink:

Hi, very nice map and huge. I walkedthru it and amazed by its elegant landscape design. Good job! Btw, is it just me or everyone has problem secure the Document? I suppose the control room is the radioroom where you secure docs? I carried the enemy doc all the way to the control room (the one with red doc-shaped spot) but nothing happens. Just thought it maybe a bug. the map itself is just great. Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the comments. I should make it clear that docs are brought to the same side’s dropoff point. So the doc run is relatively short, not all the way across the map. I noticed that the map’s up on Shit-Storm Extreme, but I can’t get in because I’m at Quakecon in the BY0C and the ping sucks from here. Irony at it’s finest. Ah well, if anyone reading this is at Quakecon I’m up for a lan battle. :beer:

Nice map but so large :-). Anyway, I like it. It’s running on our JDay server (see my sig) for the interested players.
