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 Blue_Normal

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

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 Green_Septic

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

How did you protect it ?

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