Hello all,
i have develloped this map, is my first map for oa also if in past i have done other maps for q3 and ut2k1 (never posted online). I think that is a nice map to see and play, fast but not so easy for score... i hope is a balanced map. I wait counsel and good critics.
See you soon
Thor

PS: I'm sorry for my bad english

I tried it and it is interesting but what I would really like is a screenshot in this topic.

I also noticed that the arena file says that it works in oneflag but there are no neutral flag.

I suggest you to make it compatible with more gametypes (see DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Mapping_information_for_special_gametypes]Mapping information for special gametypes), adding obelisks, etc.... and to place at least one deathmatch spawn point, to prevent the map from crashing the engine when loaded in gametypes like FFA and TDM...

Nice work, Thor.
Gig is right: i usualy take a 1st look on a map from my console (/map thor) and this crashes the engine.

(Welcome on the board Wink )

I only have 2 remarks:
1) I noticed you didn't add spawnpoints for FFA gametype.
You should add some, otherwise starting the game with g_gametype 0 crashes the game. (So I join Gig here)
2) You might find a name for the map, for now it is the same than your nickname Wink

I haven't played it with human players so I can't say much about the gameplay.
The layout is of course simple but it might bring speedy games.
On the overall it has a funny oldschool feeling (the space theme of the map, the way you use shaders, the colored circles...) Wink

GG! And good job for replacing the textures from your previous version Smiley

Note: there is no inconvenience, these are smalls mistakes which are very normal to make !

You may also add location names... I suggest to add them in any map meant for team modes...

About the name, maybe it could be something like "thor_ctfspace1", "oa_thor1", "thor_ctf1"... or maybe it could be related to the "full name" of the map (don't ask me the "real" name of this, I'm not a mapper)...
For the moment, it does not have a full name, right? Maybe "Space Bridge"?

About location names, I don't know, but probably it may be explained in some of the tutorials you can find linked DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Mapping_resources_%26_tutorials]here... (if you find a good explaination on how to use them, please let me know).

Tested in the new modes, with some bots... very nice!

Haw about adding Domination points, too?

I see you haven't chosen a complete name yet.

I hope that someone may tell how to set location names (or link an external tutorial that does)...

You just have to put a target_location in your map with "message" as key and "here comes the mouse" (or whatever) as key.
Other options are described in the radiant.

One thing I would like is a different filename for each new version (thor_1,thor_2 etc). Especially important during gameplay testing as I might want to refer to a given version. It also makes it easier to ensure that I have the latest version.

Sorry Gig, but the long first name for map was "Thor's Valhalla" and i'd like this name Smiley
Next map (if will be) will have different name from nordic culture.
About Domination, i did try to insert 2 domination_point on flag places but they don't want to work :/

Sure... next version will have name: thor#.pk3 where # is a number Smiley

Is there a .map file which i could take my hands on?
If not: try loading oasago2.map from SVN.
I know, that there are working target_location entities Smiley

My mistake, i did compile the map and after i did use an old bsp file without locations Embarrassed LOL
I have definitively finished the map, all mod are

Capture the Flag
One Flag Capture
OverLoad
Harvester
CTF Elimination
Double Domination
Domination

Target_location are on and they are coloured (if i send to my team a message from red map side the location is coloured in red, green if from the map center or blu from blu map side). I have changed also the green tower geometric.
This is not the last one release, the last one will have inside the GPL license Smiley

Two things...

The height of the wall in the middle are very unfortunate in that are reachable with 125 fps physics but not accurate or 91 fps. It is not as critical as in ps37ctf but still worth noting.

You should consider providing the map-file during development.

Mmm... my english is not so good... do you mean that is possible to jump from the bridges like in ps37ctf? All wall's bridges have same height.
In case i have understand right, i can add height to the walls Wink

I noticed too but forgot to tell, Sago wanted to say that walls are too high.
If you have OA 0.8.5, by default, you jump a little lower than with OA 0.8.1 (and 125fps).
So, when I test your map, I can't reach the zone where there are the green health in the middle of the map.
And it's the same at other places on the map, I can't jump over most of the edges.
So, if you want these zones to be accessible, you should remove a bit of height from these walls Wink

You can check the demo I provide here Smiley (note: there are incompatibilities between 081 and 085 so the demo may not work)

Mmm... i did the wall's height intentionally because the map has a lot of health and if a player want jump there, there are 2 methods:

1) Walk over the wall from stairs
2) Use Rocket or plasma jump

The walls are so high also because so players don't jump in the space from bridge... if someone wants can jump in the space from base side Tongue
