Build and Shoot

Hi all,

Here is the first mini-ctf map. I am trying to keep everything under 256x256x64 voxels for fast game play. LearnMore had the Fort to Ship combat, so here is my attempt.

Bases are very large. It will be very hard to demolish them. The walls are 3 blocks thick and the bottoms of the bases are solid.

There are 4 main paths to follow. 2 of them are across the center of the lake on the ships. The ships all have 3 decks and 3 or more entrances below deck.

Caves should give enough cover so people playing shotgun or SMG will have a fun time too. There are quite a few small paths with lots of cover,so snipers in the towers can not dominate the entire map.

Very nice map ! Especially for MiniCtf ! I think i'll add it to my server
And i guess this map can also work with Arena game mode ^^

The boats sorta' remind me of a mix n' mash of Fruit Loops & Captain Crunch. Very colorful, I like it :)

Awesome.
I wanna play this map.

Thanks Silnius :), Thre will be more mini-maps to come. I am thinking this will be the theme of a community mappack. Small maps that 2 people ca be semi amused with, and it is still playable with lots of people.

Rather than making them long, I want to start making them tall like the very first Sauerbraten maps.

It lets me spend less time plotting voxels, and more time on layout. There is a lot less pre-planning now, and the color maps come out without stretching, even on vertical walls.

I will have a material pack that will be released with my next map with new cement, wood, and a few other terrain textures

Hi Commando_Ghost , Color is the spice of life :)

Speaking of colors, you guys can make your own Slab6 pallets now, Check out this burried thread :) (and bump it if it is cool ) http://www.buildandshoot.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7079

Hi Extra,

Yeah! , I want to play it too 8). I think this is going to be a very fun map. I cant wait to see what the Kraken server does with it.

Next map will hopefully have the Saved corners bug fixed. There is also a pallet bug I think i have a workaround for.

We will be adding this one to the Curse of Hompy Jones soon, as well. Great work as always, JoJoe.

nice, added to my server :)

Thanks learn_more!

Your idea seems to be a popular one. I want to make another 1 full size ship and 1 fort map like you where talking about originally. I think it will be a refreshing change from the usual terrain+trees+houses jojoe maps.

Thanks for putting up a nice server too, this will be fun 8)

Hi JohnRambozo ,

Looking forward to seeing it! You guys have a fun game mode going on there. :)

Nice,How created this Height map?(give me the program name or download link) :P

Here you go :)

This map, brought tears to my eyes. THIS IS DA MOST BEAUTIFUL MAP I HAZ EVER SEEN!
But use different water colors.

Thanks Kuma :)

More water, and maps coming soon.

it was pretty fun running from ship to ship, making walkways and destroying the ships

That was fun Learn_more :).

We discovered you can make a turret out of the trees with 2 grenade. And that Palm trees can be decapitated really easy with a well placed grenade.

This Demo man script is awesome for testing! All mappers should give it a try on their test servers :)
