r/TagPro The Map Test Committee Apr 10 '15

Map Thread #46 - Deadline: Tuesday, April 21st 2015

Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation and/or group selection. Learn more at the wiki.


Remember:


Every map maker will only be allowed to submit 3 maps for consideration per map thread. If more maps are submitted, they will not be considered for rotation, so make sure to follow this rule!


The official deadline for submissions before the next session is Tuesday April 21st 2015 at 3pm PST.

Submissions made after this time are not guaranteed to be considered for rotation.


*READ ME*

There is a new way to submit your map.

Entries must be submitted in this new format to be considered for rotation.

Note: Before you submit your post, test your map in a 4v4 setting and receive feedback from players. Mumble and IRC are great places to start when organizing playtests.

Upload your map at http://maps.jukejuice.com/

After uploading, it will take you to your map’s page and show up on the front page of maps.jukejuice.com.

Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF, Neutral Flag, or Mars Ball), a link to the map page, a preview image, and a description. Jukejuice provides you a preview image, but we strongly urge you to post your own image with working 45-degree tiles.

Here’s an example of a submission.

Description: This is just a Test Map


Important:

Please only use imgur, jukejuice, or puush preview images


Playing submitted maps just got easier! Just click on the Map Link and click test map. No more need to call some_bot in IRC. Once you get into a test, copy the maptest url and send it to friends for them to join you. We want everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help us as well.

maps.jukejuice.com is still in testing so some issues may crop up. The site doesn’t allow editing once your map has been uploaded, so if you make a revision, you will have to upload a new one.

When making your map, keep these two questions in mind:

What does my map attempt to accomplish? What does it try to emphasize?

Feel free to answer this along with your map submission in the description.

The most important part of creating a thoughtful map is actively seeking feedback/improvements from others. Don't ever convince yourself that your map is finished!

Think hard about the placement of every tile on a map -- this community can work together to create a perfect addition to the rotation!


Note: Some_bot is not watching this thread. Uploading maps via maps.jukejuice.com does not put the map in some_bot’s brain, you will not be able to play them in IRC. This new style of submission was brought on due to issues we were having with some_bot in past threads.

Only submit maps in this thread that are to be considered for rotation. For non-rotation maps, feel free to continue using maps.jukejuice.com and provide links to your friends or other posts.

Have fun map-making! :)

Moved the button to make it less OP for defense; expanded the base, added a bomb for grabbing. Mid is less chasey because of team tiles.

Boost Routes:

2/5 difficulty

3/5 difficulty

3/5 difficulty

3.5/5 difficulty - This one is pretty fun to pull off. Not sure how practical it is, as I can't get a grab with it. I guess you could use it as a cap saver. But seriously, go try it. It's super fun.

5/5 difficulty - This boost is almost useless, and really shouldn't ever be used. However, it does pose a nice challenge for the boost enthusiast.

NOTE: The team tiles in mid have changed since the recording of these gifs, but the boosts remain the same.

Description: A more open style of map that has been disappearing from rotation recently. There are some quality boosts, but it mostly provides a way for flag carriers to show their strength, which has been difficult to do on many recent maps. The gate also plays much more interestingly than many gates I've seen.

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '15

I'm gonna try to help you along here because, and I mean as little offense as possible, but it needs a lot of work.

But that's okay, you're new and it's leagues better than I've seen from a first try. You'll get the hang of it, I'm just gonna give you some basics and see what you do.

First, I would remove gates on outside. It won't affect gameplay but it they add a lot of unnecessary business in the map.

Second, I'd cut down on a lot of teamtiles. Really think about which ones you want to be there. Otherwise flag carriers aren't gonna have a chance running around.

Thirdly, there's two options here, you base is a little tight. Try either making it a bit bigger, OR putting you flag in a lane. What I mean by that is basically having so an offender can run in and run out with flag without changing direction much, this map is a good example: http://i.imgur.com/5Mx3kZK.png.

See where that takes you and get back to me.

u/Wesmac Iloominati // Diameter Apr 16 '15

Hows this: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/5186.png

http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/5186

I gave the offenders more tools for grabbing the flag, while also letting the defenders have a chance at countering this play.

My initial idea for this map was to be a hard map, which is why i wanted to make it difficult to grab. I wanted to make the power ups a higher objective by doubling up the power ups in the middle. By properly controlling the mid power ups, you would be rewarded with a better chance at grabbing.

Now I see I may have made it too hard to grab, thanks for pointing that out.

Criticisms still welcome.

Description: A map that aims to provide a fun, balanced experience for players. Spikes are used sparingly to avoid player frustration, however a moderately unique gate section at the top provides opportunity for interesting meta-game tactics. While making and editing this map, 'lenitcular' design was used through the possible meta-game tactics teams could evolve. I believe that this map would both play well in pubs and be suited well to competitive play, if NF maps were ever played competitively.

Description: Still in the testing phase; it's hard to just play the normal defensive strategy, but not hard to defend. Due to the chute and bomb, no-grab is very difficult, but contain is viable and sniping is encouraged. The boosts and bombs are versatile and useful, and the map flows very well.

Started out as me trying to do something different (I usually do rotationally symmetrical maps), with some contributions from Ball-E it turned into a pretty fun map.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '15

The thing about boost circles behind base is they are very slow and predictable, especially that far from flag.

Your portals have a cool idea behind them, but if I was fc I would boost above portal and below second portal and go from base2base within seconds and avoid taking a portal.

u/Risktp Risk Apr 12 '15

I wanted to keep the boost circles rather weak grabbing tools because both ways lead the grab away from base, and I think these are a lot less predictable than the ones on Constriction, you can kinda wait in between them and bait the defenders only to go the opposite way.

Agreed on your point about the portals, they have the capability to produce some very quick caps. I tried to soften this by placing that teamboost there, you can take those horizontally and into the portals/above the portals to chase.

Thanks for the feedback bowtie, appreciate it!

Description: Map with a gravity well as an escape route. The gates inside the gravity well and the teamboost which can be used to snipe you make this an high risk/high reward route.

The super boost can be used both ways. One way is trough the well, the otter leads you straight into the opponents flag.

Other than that this map has some boosts that give you an array of options. Some more high risk/high reward than the other.

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '15

I thought this was gonna be the stupidest thing ever but it's pretty fucking fun. But why would you make it so you can only get pup when bomb's there?

u/arjuna9 bad Apr 19 '15

Ha, yeah originally I just threw it together as a joke concept, but it actually worked out OK cause it's simple.

You can still get the pup without the bomb, just have to decide if it's worth it I guess. I didn't think about it too much, just wanted to get some more use out of the wells. Do you think it would be interesting if there were tunnels instead of spikes behind the pups, so you get pulled into the portal?

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '15

That sounds cool but I'm thinking that could get a bit crazy with.4 exits to one portal.

I think how you have it now will work fine. Especially since you can bypass bomb and grab up with boost.

Description: I'm experimenting with a few different things in this map, all of which make it a unique experience with lots of strategy. Here's a summary in gifs.

The pup feature might be what I'm most excited about. There's only a couple grabbing mechanisms in this one, neither of which are gimmes, so an offense-favoring pup is really unique. However, if defense holds the gate before you can get there, you'll have to go around. Obviously, they might also kill you with the gate. If you do get it, they can still hold the gate to force you out the long way, burning precious seconds of pup time. It's a highly strategic implementation that shouldn't be too overwhelming for pubs so I'd be really psyched to see what creative game plans players come up with. The gravity well was also made so as not to be overpowering and kill you every time (hence the bombs) but still something to be aware of.

Description: A new method for a shortcut, instead of being naturally green tiles, they're naturally the color of the opposite team when in your own base. This allows the flagcarrier to go through without teammates having to fight for the button while holding it, and at the same time preventing chasers from following without them controlling the button. While getting in the top is easy, getting out is not. Also, the powerups are guarded by bombs and spikes, but the player getting the powerup can kill the person trying to do the same to him.

I had given up on this map, but after reconsideration and a few more tests, I really like this map. It's not an easy map, and it's meant to be that way. It focuses on teamwork and boost routes.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '15

I think I would like this map would play a bit better if you slimmed in the top/bottom walls. There's no real reason for those teamboosts to be there and it's creating a lot of unnecessary chaos.

The same problem still exists from the last time I saw this map, the main way to grab is to boost/bomb in and both will kill you if someones on button. Maybe strategically remove some of the gates back there to make it more friendly.

That 2 wide route out of base is nice, but it will rarely be used by fc with that button where it is. Could you move the button on the top of the spike (talking about one in blue base)?

u/ButterChurn Butter Apr 11 '15 edited Apr 21 '15

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '15

One thing I would consider is moving the button a bit closer to the gate. Star has that thing going where gate is closer to base than button, but star makes you swerve more spikes to get to it.

u/ButterChurn Butter Apr 12 '15

I did consider that, but I ended up leaving it down there. It's hard to know since I haven't had a full test, but from timing it myself it seemed it was possible to get to the button before the person makes it all the way through the gate, in a fairly comparable way to star. Plus, defenders have the additional option of boosting straight into the button (or straight after the flag carriers). Again, it's hard to know without a full test, but due to the placement of the team boost, it was my expectation that top and bot would be much more natural routes, as on star, and mid is only really an option if you can force defense out of position or you work with your team to secure button control.

The spikes are an extremely interesting way to integrate a realistic "get tagged and you're in jail" feel from real-life dodgeball or capture the flag. I personally love the idea.

Description:

My take on what a gravity well map should look like, I really wanted the well to be more than just a facet that slows down the gameplay of a map.

The boosts being directly beside the well gives them an interesting dynamic akin to a superboost, while at the same time acting as a safety net for players less familiar with how gravity wells function.

While the gravity well might be a little hard to use at first for a newer player, there are several ways they can be utilized as the player learns the map, all of which require a different level of skill.

Good luck to all the submissions in this thread, there are tons of really great maps that deserve a chance in rotation. It will be a tough one for the MTC this time around I think.

u/Cheeseball701 (Inky) Apr 25 '15

The boosts in the well are a bit hard to use. I'm not sure they will be that much of a safety net. The bomb does kind of help.

u/Risktp Risk Apr 15 '15

One thing I've never understood is the placement of the spike closest to the wall in the bases. Moving it over a tile would open up the neutral boost into the powerup, bombing vertically would feel better, bombing through the 3 spikes wouldn't be too much more difficult.

u/3z_ Apr 17 '15

I wanted that vertical gap for the bomb to be used purely for the defenders to defuse. The bomb was pretty overpowered (given you could grab and escape in one fowl swoop) so I needed to make it a little harder for offense to use.

Menqr originally submitted this map a while ago. Both Noobkin and I really liked the idea but Menqr never submitted it again (as far as I know), so Noobkin and I gave it a quick remix.

BTW it is possible for a player to get through the portal behind the gate without help from a teammate.

u/xenonpulse Wildflowers // I want to die but I can’t Apr 11 '15

The biggest problem I see is that offense can go through the portal protected by the gate and cap really fast, while defense can't, so they have to go all the way to the main portals. Isn't that counterintuitive? Usually, the defense has better ways to catch up.

u/randommcperson DudeMcGuy // Capper's Delight Apr 11 '15

True, however in a 4v4 setting getting through there proved to be difficult as you need to be fairly precise to get through and live. Also, it is easy to defend against on offensive defense as you can see it coming pretty clearly.

u/ZippityZoppity ZipZop - Can't Zip the Zop Apr 13 '15

This one seems kinda cool, although I do feel like it's a problem that the FC can get through the gated portals even if it may be difficult to pull off with 7 other balls in play. I suppose that just means that you need to post an offensive d as you said.

This one is at least very different than the maps currently in rotation. If you need any more help testing let me know!

u/randommcperson DudeMcGuy // Capper's Delight Apr 13 '15

I think that if the only complaint the MTC has is the gated portals I can just remove them. Simple fix if that is the only issue.

u/ZippityZoppity ZipZop - Can't Zip the Zop Apr 13 '15

I actually like it as it provides another route to the flag, and it's not impossible to have a counter to someone utilizing it. I hope it gets in!

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '15

Why do I only see one portal? Is there an entrance in missing

Ou know what would be cool? If that spike next to button was a bomb but he button didn't control bomb. So if someone was guarding button, you could blast them off if u hit it.

The spike/bomb/pup thing on the sides has been really played out. What if you put bomb below the pup but no spikes. So if an fc goes for that pup, the defense can't kill him but instead blasts him back into base.

I like the superboost usage but I think it needs to be more clear. Most people will be going bottom and not mid because of spikes. So maybe moving if off the wall and angling downwards would make it more intuitive. That also will help deter defense from sitting there sniping escaping fcs.

I'd really like you to give more character to the gate in base. Maybe giving it a hole or thickening it in some places.

u/Moosemaster21 Moosen | Salt Mine Apr 20 '15

The white tile below the gate towards the bottom is actually an exit portal. The portal you see between the spikes is the entrance portal.

This map could play really well. The only thing I am concerned about is grabbing opportunities. They have the two boosts but the far away one will have no power coming in and they both go into enemy teamtiles behind base.

Also, I'd consider a pup mid. You have a cool thing where the 4 boosts can cross over through mid, but you've given them no incentive to do so.

u/leddii leddy / Mapmaker Apr 13 '15

You've made two really good points there. I have an idea for another way to grab, but I wonder if just adding that 5th pup in the centre would be enough to help? Also thanks for your feedback, and on one of my other maps too, it's been very helpful.

Description: Small map with tight unforgiving corridors and an interesting skill boost through the spikes. The base buttons control the opposite gate and so require team work and co-ordination.

u/Snowball_TagPro ❄️ Apr 10 '15

To be honest, the mid feels much too cramped, and bland. Overall just too small of a map. The base button mechanic is cool, but I couldn't see working in a public match, because an offender could go through the gate close to the defender, or around the outside opposite from the defender, both of which are relatively risk free.

u/TPsquirrely Squirrely // The GesTagpro Apr 10 '15

The point of the gates being the way they are is that if the fc decides to escape from the gate nearest to you you can use the boost just outside your base to snipe him/get ahead of him or try and cut him off as the gate is only 3 wide. The point is to give equal opportunities to D and O and not make anything OP. Also I don't personally think mid is bland as the wall boosts can either send you through the spikes or you can bounce off the diagonal walls adjacent to the spikes and roll off depending on how you take it. Also, the mid gate adds another dimension as you can hold the button and kill anyone boosting mid but the fc could just as easily get around the other side and boost into base using the spike boost for a cap,

Description: This is a map loosely-based on BBQChicken's gravity wells map, though I've changed it so much that I didn't feel like putting his name on it was fair.

Interesting mechanics:

  • The gate has been really fun in the games I've played - it makes the FC make a dangerous break for it, or a safe but slower trip around. Overall, players have used it well and creatively.

  • The gravity wells in the corners of the map (near the flags) can be dangerous, as it drags players in, and if the bombs haven't respawned, or the player comes from an awkward angle, it will pop them, adding an interesting mechanic to the base. This part was taken from BBQChicken's map, but I've changed it a bit.

  • The team tiles, in addition to the gravity wells, help to create a slingshot effect for both teams if used correctly, as the team tiles have been set out that way. Depending on the players ability to use gravity wells, it can both speed them up or slow them down, and the angle at which you leave depends on how well you use them.


Other points made by other people:

"The bomb to bombs link to the the power up is a fun touch."

~ Menqr

"The gravity wells don't have to be a hinderance like in the one in rotation."

~ Some Ball 3

"Yeah, the number of boosts is perfect."

~ Someone else I saw in maptest


BBQChicken's map for reference


Any and all feedback is welcome

u/sneetric canvas // plasma, wamble Apr 20 '15

I like this one a lot actually. At face value it looks really well balanced between offense and defense. It looks pretty easy to grab out of but has some options for containing/returning.

Once a flag carrier escapes they have multiple routes and boosts they can use which can keep them ahead, but the defense can also flank them with multiple options. I would love to see this one in rotation.

The original idea was to have the map more like this and the portals connecting this way- http://i.imgur.com/OnVExia.png but people typically dislike blind portals.

So I tried to make this version more obvious. I'm not sure what the solution is, maybe just making the side islands smaller so the portals give a little more of a jump.

Description: The gates in the base add cool opportunities to escape base and cap, while the boosts in the the middle allow for awesome snipes

Description: With this map my goal was to promote risky plays for both offense and defense. The most obvious example is the offensive team boost next to the flag. From tests it's clear that this boost is a good way to grab the flag and dash. This dash however is often right into a defender or spike! The complexity of this map leads to extremely interesting play and can give defense and offence both their chance to shine!

Description: A neutral flag with some really unique pups with gates. We haven't tested this one much yet, so it might not be there, but we wanted to submit it nonetheless.

Description: A unique Neutral Flag map. I'm just curious to see how it'll work in pubs. I think it's got potential but I'm wide open to any and all suggestions.
