it was just not on the maps.dswp.de server ...
*upped it

[SteveMcqueen]

map is on the server, works damn well, it is FUN. net height needs slight change for bomb and CTF (!!!)

really looking forward to test this further. gj sva!

Thanks Steve, I will modify that and try to decorate a bit
And I'm waiting for a 5v5 or 10v10 test =)

I just tested the on bomb server with 2vs2, where it was relatively easy to survive and hard to kill others. But with more players there will be so much grenades, that you can't avoid every grenade. And of course it is fun!

The bomb spot is reachable by grenades of the opposite team. If someone needs 5 seconds to plant the bomb, he will be killed by the other team for sure, unless they are totally stupid. So I would propose to move the bomb spots more to the back or in one corner. But this no normal bomb map at all...

The title reminds me of this:

!!!! Crazy

Ok in TDM this map has the ability to kick lots of people, because of dead nades mostly, so better be careful (or disable TK warnings) =)

Yes the bomb spots are badly located, maybe one far in a corner and one close from the center of the net would be better, and anyway they should be in the opposite side from the red spawn (close from the net is hard to reach when throwing I think, except if your nade bounces from the roof...)

ok ... the fence is crap like it is now, you can hide way too well and become almost unhittable, there should be a playerclip like 0.5-0.7 times as big as the fence, no walljump allowed.

then I have an idea for a fork: ut4_he_lavatennis, both sides are surrounded by a gap with lava inside (like 1m level difference) so no run to far -> dead to close to the fence -> dead ... you get the idea.

[SteveMcqueen]

- so then make the fence 2/3 of what it is now (maybe the spoken of height you can pass with one walljump?)

- add the minimap, even if it may seem pointless to you. just looks WAY better. (a newly created minimap should be in some folder in your mapping urt as a .tga, after the first time you load up the map. or if you want a fancy one, make a screenshot of the map from WAY above the map in the editor, and scale it to the size of the enginge-created one.)

- have you added matching surface sounds for the floor? :>

Ok the height of the net is a crucial point, I will try to test that locally...

Good idea, but I think I would break the most negative score ever

In fact I thought it would auto-generate a fine minimap, as it seems it's not the case... ok I will do that manually then.

- have you added matching surface sounds for the floor? :>

Hmmm not at all =)

this is NOT table tennis!
