unless very heavy sniping protection measures are taken.
Not including railgun maybe, or placing it very far from the camping spot?

Or a third option: placing stuff between the player and the sniper in question which helps to prevent excessive sniping.

That really wouldn't work for a mode like instantgib, would it?

Hence why the third option...

placing stuff between the player and the sniper in question which helps to prevent excessive sniping.

...is more viable as a solution.

Let's assume that someone somewhere someday will try to make a "Facing Worlds"-like map.....

Ehm, i'm trying to make that CTF map for the OACPM  Tongue

Well, a single map can't fit perfectly ALL gametypes...  Cheesy Grin

How about a ship in the air?      Final fantasy / Skies of Arcadia influence inbound....


Skybox would be a skyroom with some scrolling shader magic and fake gradient horizon.   I don't like skyboxes since they take up so much texture memory for something so static.

I loved this UT2004 map. It's a kind of ghost ship going around a city or so. Gameplay wasn't very good, though.

I mean, with moving sky with some effect up and down (clouds or something else).

You might want to make the interior of the ship being playable for a more interesting gameplay. Think about UT's DM-KGalleon (the Playstation 2 version of the map would be a better choice) or UT3's DM-KBarge, but less intrincate and with more space and stuff to get cover behind.

Plus there would have to be propellers, though i'm not sure if they'd be jumppads or additional hazards (since falling off is already a hazard, it's essentially a dressed up void map similar to The Bouncy Map)


Clouds could also be sprite shaders with a deformVertex move command as well, so it doesn't have to involve entities (and network traffic)...

I like the mermaid, I could probably model that as an ASE Tongue  MD3s can't be large...

Yeah, better simplify the BSP, and create additional mapmodels (and clips) for the decorative stuff.

And remember to open the thread for your map in the Maps subforum. Tongue

My idea it's to make a skybox like the background of this image:

http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/18319589?view_mode=2

It's taked from the Anime Last Exile.
If you remember my Spaceship map for OACMP, it's possible change the moving-stars with moving-clouds.
I have to make some try  Tongue Cheesy
