Build and Shoot

Version 0.3a download
Version 0.3a gapless download


Ace of Spades Z! <insert>Power up moaning</insert>
Map for push mode. Submission for contest.

Rationale:

• Radical concept.
• All the enemies are in shooting range all the time.
• Multiple ways to achieve end-goal.
• Main challenge is getting cover, not shooting the enemy.

Features:

• 3D path to walk.
• Protected spawn area.
• Islands for purposes.
• Overview.

Doesn't provide:

• Many blocks to mine.
• Sufficient pre-made cover.
• Sufficient grief protection.(!)
• Consistent spawn location. (!)(See below.)
• Oppurtunity to funk up enemy's CP.
• Pretty looks.

Tools used:
GIMP, Pyspades map editor, Voxed.

Since I suspect walking around is hard enough, I wanted a version without gaps. Also there is a slight caveat in the push mode script. This means I had to work-around it. The "gapless" version still has one gap therefor. I have an idea for another work-around. It's a problem with the spawn location once something is over it.
Scripts needed to play as intended: push (+map_extensions), build_protect. There is one txt that should work with all map versions. I definitely think the map can improve, but I'm feeling a bit unwell ATM.
If anything, I hope I have provided an inspiring concept.

Currently working on:
No maps.

Hey nice concept, i don't know how it will be playable,
Do the map is protected ?
Cause grief after; and i don't think it's possible at the moment to protect the map

Edit : I don't like the mini map

There's some grief protection at some places assisted by the protect script.

Which one ?
Did you actually tested the map with Push script + protection ?

Mainly the upper area is protected. See that red bar? That's indestructible.
Yes, I have tested it. I have decided to trade some grief protection for making the map more difficult. Maybe that was a very bad trade-off

Okay, so, you tried your map with push script, + protected area on a server?

How did you protect it ?

Protection of the map comming soon to a push script near you.

Oh danhezee... You forgot the

at the end of that^ post.

Do you try the map on the server ? Or do a server is hosting it ? I would like to see how is the game with this kind of map

The staircases gets griefed, nobody gets up, everyone quits the server.

Ah, thanks. I feared that.

Yep, so the map is not protected at all :< (yet ?)

Yeah, creating the staircase with god blocks would easily fix that problem :)
