Vertical Forest (Match/Tag)

[Jazz]

Here is another Rail-sniper map idea that just came to me one day.

This map is (obviously) a forest filled with a number of large tiered trees with multiple sets of platforms each. The aim is to get everyone to "tree-hop" as I call it, around the map using the numerous platforms and springs provided while sniping at each other with the rail rings found throughout the map.

This is a Rail ring map, with 12 different spawns of this weapon. Therefore you can safely assume all players will have one, so keep your distance!

*NOTE* This replaces MAP91 (Thunder Citadel Zone) *NOTE*

As usual, suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.

Happy Hunting!

Looks great, but as a software user, I won't be downloading this.

 

[Jazz]

Yeah, the stacked FOFs do seem to be a problem with software. I'm currently in the process of figuring out how to reduce them while keeping the basic premise of the map.

Looks like forest of death from Naruto.
Judging from the pics.
Could be if you replaced the middle with a tower.

 

[Jazz]

Never seen Naruto, I wouldn't know. :|

But, a fully functional tower building in the middle doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. All I would need to do is stack a few more FOFs and make more levels.

Either way, it would probably be better than a plain ol' tree anyway. :)

It's more or less the "vertical" ness of the stage that gives Software an issue. Not the FOFs at all, really.

Playing this with bots in JTE was rather enjoyable. 8/10 :)

 

[shadix]

I did the same thing with bots there.

And if you want to know what the tower looks like go here. www.narutoengdub.co.nr

Go to episode directory it's episode 27 shows the map and episode 37 shows the actual tower.

 

[Jazz]

Thanks, I'll go take a look at it.

Wow Jazz, I'm pretty impressed! This new tree design is amazingly beautiful and simple (compared to the boring old stump and leaves thing).

Although I couldn't download it, from the pictures alone, you've got a pretty nice looking wad. As an OpenGL user, I'll download this soon. I promise.

Good job! 9/10 By Pictures

 

[Jazz]

Well, if the pictures get me a 9/10, I'm hoping that it can improve when you actually play the wad! :D

Vertical Forest > Horizontal Forest! *axed*

Now if only this were a King Of The Hill map. Flame can help you there.

I can't download this now, but I will when I can.

 

[Segmint]

First of all, the "leaves" need to be FOF: Intangible From Bottom.
Second, instead of using springs, I suggest using wind.
Third, watch the placing of your springs (diagonal, because there is no diagonal wind), they aren't placed close enough to the middle pillar.

7.5/10

I give this map a 10/10. it is simply gorgeous.

 

[WAD master]

Looks like the outside of my Battle Tree! *Shot*

(I'm not saying you got the idea from it, so don't start assuming anything.)

But it's a great WAD!

This actually looks pretty interesting.

 

[I'll Begin]

If Ritz likes it you know you've done something.

 

[Jazz]

I guess he's hard to please or something? :|

 

[wise.rain]

This looks nice! It's fun hopping tree to tree, since no one can get you.

Looks great, but as a software user, I won't be downloading this.

Then use OpenGL if it's such a problem.
