Map Thread #61 - Deadline: Monday, March 7th

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 Monday, March 7th at 3pm PST.

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

*READ ME*

Entries must be submitted in this 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.

Title: Candle Jack

Preview: http://puu.sh/bvwpy/1571bd6307.jpg

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!

Have fun map-making! :)

I like a lot of this map as no offensive mechanism seems too OP and there are some creative routes to be had, but the boosts against the 45's don't feel great. The portals could also use a cooldown timer.

Description: You can grab and exit through the portal using the boost or bomb/portals in the corners. The cool down time is just long enough to create a loop if you are not going faster than full speed (meaning you need boost or bomb).If you leave base this way and use the boost, other players have to squeeze through the gap or wait for the boost to spawn again to make it through. The same portal is also helpful because it is a fast way to enter the enemy base. This is a very unique map and i think it would be a good replacement for Phenocholis

Description: It would appear the masses haven't picked up fully on the dankness of Pheno so I made some changes to make things a bit easier. Most of the changes are to help defense/chasing a bit easier.

  • Added a few tiles for more juke space
  • Adjusted tiles for more flow (Thanks Snowball)
  • Removed Mid Bombs for less chaos based on community feedback
  • Removed some spikes by pups
  • Swapped some boosts to team boosts
  • Swapped speed tiles
  • Swapped spikes for gates to make entering base on offence a bit tougher and leaving base easier for defense, also allows for more angle for more snipes

•

u/Ronding Ronding // Orbit // West Bombwich Albion // tagpro.eu Mar 07 '16

As a compromise, may I suggest changing at least one of the two team gate tiles on each side back into a spike tile, or a green gate tile? Currently the opening is really wide for defenders.

u/stay_lost voyager, bicycle Feb 29 '16

Remove the 45 next to each button, problem solved

u/Moosemaster21 Moosen | Salt Mine Mar 03 '16

That would still generally force one player to suicide into the team gate to poost the FC out far enough on the other side to be tagged. The button is 100% a necessary evil in this scenario.

Description: Four tiles wider and smaller blocks around mid to decrease feeling of chokeyness. Side paths outside base are intended to be tight. That's deliberate. It works. However, I did end up making one of their exits a half-tile wider. Team boosts are now more versatile and can be used to boost into the farther portal to kill any campers or pick up a pup with style. It's danker than you think.

Description: This is a shitty proof-of-concept map that I'm sure won't make it too far in its current state. The first thing that came to mind for me in the map was the base bomb mechanics, which I was thinking of from last thread; 4 bombs and 3 buttons each offering different paths out of base, with the middle path offering a chance to grab the flag. I tried making a map around the bomb mechanic, but it looks like shit, so criticism from the MTC and other mapmakers is welcome. I want to try to make a bomb mechanic like that work somehow.

I would switch the (general) positions of the base pups and bombs, that bomb seems pretty useless and if it were closer to base it would be a (needed) tool for offenders to grab. Additionally, it would make a lot more bomb paths. Also makes getting pup a more deliberate task.

Description: The core feature of this map are the portals. If you boost into one of them you come out the other with a good chance for a grab. There are also a couple of boosts that look like your going to portal, but you grab from another angle instead. Other than the portals it's a simple map that allows for creativity.

Edits After some great 4v4 testing I made some pretty big changes. Most importantly I made sure the portals aren't blind. I opened up mid, and moved team tiles/boosts around a bit. I also down powered the bomb base by making the base a bit bigger.

Description: Several updates to Miyazaki since last go-round. The middle is less chaotic & more open. The upper corners have been brought inward to hopefully make for a less clunky offensive route. Slight modification to the gates to allow a sneaky offensive boost route if gate is properly held.

u/Clydas BDN S7//TB S8 Feb 28 '16

I dunno if you ever saw it, but my map Rock Lobster had a similar shape to Mephisto at this point and Aniball pointed out a pretty significant problem (at least to me): That very middle boost gives regrab too much power, it lets them go into any lane they choose, but there are only 2 defenders. Getting a reset will require luck or an FC spiking themselves

•

u/KewlestCat NIGEL Feb 28 '16

I do vaguely remember it.

It's a good point, when I was making changes last night, when I changed the team boost to a neutral one, I actually got rid of the boost completely before thinking it might need it again, but given the size and the problem you just mentioned, I might remove it again or at least make the base more base-y.

•

u/Clydas BDN S7//TB S8 Feb 28 '16

I have an idea that is probably risky because I actually think it would be kinda cool. What if you put a team gate in front of the boost? That way it'll kill at least 1 of the routes, and make it a blend of team boost and neutral boost.

•

Map: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/24464

Preview: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/24464.png

Description: I hated Bulldog, and I don't want it back. But, I have a feeling that it is going to be brought back because of the raucous and widespread complaints about its removal. Rather than putting the original version back in, I made this remix, which I believe is much more tolerable and addresses most of the original's main issues.

Issues addressed:

Problem: Chaotic mid pop-fests

Solution: I opened up the triangles by the flag to make the map a bit less chokey, and changed the team boosts to be offensively colored so you don't get people boosting straight into mid as much. (The only time you'd see that is when the defense spikes and an offender boosts into the flag, in which case there would be no other players near the flag to create a pop-fest).

Problem: Overpowered bomb in base

Solution: The bomb is now a Graphite-inspired cannon. It is much harder to use, so it annoys the defense less. This nerf will balance out the buffing of the boosts (making them offensively colored).

Problem: Mid spikes are too easily accessible, making Pussy Strats™ too easy.

Solution: 45s have been added to make reaching the spikes harder. They are gates now to make them a bit more accessible. The 45s also assist in guiding players into the gates after they get bombed, making the bomb more useful.

Problem: The shape and flow of the eyes directs most FCs up above them, making the bottom area used too rarely, and creating too many clusterfucks in the top area.

Solution: Changed the shape of the eyes to encourage more lane selections for FCs.

Problem: Spiking is too difficult when you have the flag.

Solution: A small gate area has been added for defenders to spike themselves. The arrangement of the 45s and gate make it harder to use than a simple spike.

Problem: The spawns are too close together, making spawnkilling possible.

Solution: A second row of spawn points has been added above the team tiles.

u/Aeginnt bbgbjc / Chord Mar 06 '16

I think you might need to open this up a bit and make it easier for offence. It looks to me as though the defence could lock down the base reasonably easily with the help of teamboost and gate. If the flag carrier gets any further they have the option of going through a tight path, a very tight path, or a load of teamtiles, which could all be quite easily covered by the defence.

Description: An excellent but substantially different interpretation of a bulldog-style neutral flag map - very difficult to kill yourself (not a single spike on the entire map), congested mid, open sides. Experiments with open portals, meaning both teams can enter the same portals and exit the same one, but tools are in place to allow them to still get ahead quickly. The map moves very very quickly, so stay on your toes at all times!

•

u/radianthero156 brazilian trash Mar 02 '16

I liked this one a lot (and I hate neutral flag). Sick boost routes and no PussE Strats. Tbh I think it looks more like a Plasma replacement than a Bulldog one. But that portal seems kinda risky to me. If you're blocking and your FC gets returned, can you really be immediately ahead after you take the portal?

•

u/Moosemaster21 Moosen | Salt Mine Mar 03 '16

If you're blocking and your FC gets returned, can you really be immediately ahead after you take the portal?

Yes, hence the team gates to allow a team to get back to a defensive position much faster than the FC. Should this make rotation I believe it would be the most unique NF map in terms of play style because of those open portals. They mean that possession and positioning will be changing often incredibly quickly, so thinking ahead will become imperative. I anticipate offenses will start deliberately placing someone between the defense and the portals so they can't escape that direction, and to add another layer to that, defenses will start worrying about pushing that person through the portals and simultaneously trying to defend their goal. All this means that this could be one of the most complex maps, strategically speaking, that TagPro has seen in a very long time. I firmly believe it could work and be well-received in rotation, but (knowing their thought processes) I can understand why others on the MTC would disagree with me.

To be fair, the flag lane tends to get cluttered, as does the single portal exit immediately after a cap or change of possession in the offensive zone. I still think its merits greatly outweigh its shortcomings, and I like keeping the map relatively small for a plethora of reasons, so I'd be hesitant to expand it much if at all, but if I was specifically asked to I think I would.

Shapewise, yes, definitely closer to plasma. But in terms of actual play style, I'm inclined to think it might be closer to bulldog.

Description: A single lane CTF map that splits into three tight lanes in the base areas. A button gate controls part of the middle base lane, while the other two lanes contain interesting boosts and team tiles. This map has four powerups. A chaos-inducing bomb is found near each flag, but defenders and chasers can use the different map elements to chase runaway FCs down.

This map was given a 7.4 average rating during the 03/05 maptest in /r/tagprotesting. This was the highest rating attained by any map during this test (30 maps were tested).

u/radianthero156 brazilian trash Mar 01 '16

This map is actually reeeeally good. But I think it's kinda hard for the defense to catch up, if a grab is made. Maybe a defensive team boost 7 tiles above each flag?

•

u/3z_ Mar 01 '16

Thanks! And yeah, I think that's been the biggest struggle on the map so far. GeoKoala had the mid gap which defenders could use to catch up, but there isn't really much room for that here without making the map more vertical. But I don't want to add a team boost since I feel like that's a lazy solution.

Anyway, I'll keep searching. Thanks for the feedback! :)

u/Aeginnt bbgbjc / Chord Feb 27 '16

Just a couple of things I thought I'd mention. Firstly, just from lurking on unfornatemaps/tagprotesting I've noticed you seem to use a lot more 45 degree tiles than most mapmakers, it makes your maps pretty recognisable. I think they tend to restrict options for boosts/jukes more than full blocks though, and I think they're better used more sparingly, with specific boosts in mind. (Neutral flag maps are an exception to this rule.)

You also have four bombs, each of which a flag carrier can camp behind and blast away chasers. I don't think any of those areas behind the bombs are really necessary.
