Detailed description

Original map made by TUX (nobody cares really).

I am sure many of you who play regularly will be familiar with this map. Yes, this is a complete make-over of the original capture_night. Features a lot more camping and obscurity which is sure to challenge people. The size is exactly the same as the original but a lot more cover has been cramped in and more ways of moving around have been introduced.

The map is partially complete, as the flag room is still a placeholder for something better. Suggestions are welcome.
I would also like feedback regarding ammo placement. It may be too much, but it guaranteed i always had something to shoot with. I've also included some crude waypoints for the bots to move on. They like getting stuck in weird places however, so keep that in mind.

In the next update (which will hopefully be soon enough to catch up with the release before it happens) i will introduce some more fixes to texturing, clipping, and hopefully do something nice with the flag room.

So enjoy and give me lots of hate, i need it at this point.

--- UPDATE 1 ---

Un-nerfed the balcony jump
Reduced the amount of grenades drastically
Lengthened the map a little to avoid 4s flagruns
New flag route that's guaranteed to be a hard one
Removed smaller trees and replaced with ^
Some exterior torches, minor lighting/texture updates
Replaced healthboost with quad damage

What's the license of the map?

Maybe some sounds would make the teleport even more interesting and some sound from the dark windows would make it quiet stunning also.

RaZgRiZ | 2012-08-31 20:33

I'll worry about that later, don't pester me for it, i have more pressing issues to account for :P

wlkr | 2012-09-01 01:24

Well, i wont give a huge feedback, mainly cause i like the map q:D
So maiking a playable version of the most sucking camper map ever is a good idea!
The map is still easwy playable, and with its hiding places it should be funny to play in CTf modes.
I hope to see this in the enw release.

and yeah: im just here when im drunken, so dont blame me for grammar and correct writing

Haha, I saw this up on an SVN server one day and have been waiting to see the final result until now! :D
Great job, I'll give a 8/10. Minus the two points, because it's not your original map. ^^

Zoocata | 2012-09-01 02:28

Taking away my vote until a CONFIG FILE IS INCLUDED! Custom textures/mapmodels and no .cfg isn't a good combination.

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-01 09:59

Oh noes, i swear i had put that in. fixed.

Skur | 2012-09-01 10:27

finally! capture_night got playable! :D and it wont be that dominated by 1337h4xx0rs who removed theirs trees anymore! 10/10

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-01 13:59

Updated! Fixed a few places were copy-pasta was incomplete, tweaked the lighting to make it a bit darker.

BLUE base features alternative flag-room that may be final and replace the temporary one seen in RED base if there are no objections.

Thinking of placing more trees and will next work on terraforming a little. It would be really nice if there were more plantation models, i need more ferns and bushes, flowers too :/

mutaF | 2012-09-01 16:21

the mapmsg would be better with something like "...originalmap by TUX, Remake idea by Drekow finished by razgrz" :D

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-01 17:32

Not sure how someone can "copyright" the idea of remaking a map of a creator gone so long ago not even FBI knows who he is :P

In any case, NOPE. Won't do that. I will mention him in the node however.

Drekow | 2012-09-02 15:18

Ask apple for this kind of legal consult!

I'm happy you liked some of mine idea to make a better capture_night and your works is impressive! The only thing i suggest you, as always, is to remove the mapmodels. They looks great, but players can remove them.

Ahhhh... never relase a map without bases! You can put 5/7 bases in it if you are not sure i can help on placement.

skiingpenguins | 2012-09-02 19:03

i think it's pretty cool :] (you get my rare comment ^.^)

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-05 06:52

Updated! Fixed a couple more stuffs and enlarged the doorway to the "new flagroom" per suggestion. I'm still waiting for you people to tell me what you think about it.

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-25 17:48

Updated!

Texture tweaks.
Lighting tweaks.
Atmosphere tweaks.
Something.
Kept the new flag rooms. Sorry guys, but there are too many issues with the lighting there to keep the old setup, you'll have to deal with it :P

There are no bases yet however. If you guys think this map's worth for capture, you're free to share your opinion. Suggestions for base placement would be welcome in such a case.

Jorge | 2012-09-26 09:02

If capture_night is suitable for capture, this map will be, too. The question is whether capture_night is suitable for capture. I don't think so (although it has bases and is played at least in regen, this doesn't mean it makes sense playing capture there).

RaZgRiZ | 2012-09-27 09:21

Updated!

Texture tweaks.
Added bases.

The base placement may or may not suck, and you might prefer 5 bases instead of 6. Please tell me what you think.

MasterTechCC | 2012-09-29 16:48

This is a great map, its perfect for duels and small team games. Definitely better than capture_night ... This may be a new favorite map for me, wish it we're a bit bigger though

Mysterious | 2012-10-04 20:59

First of all I need to tell you that I hate capture_night ^^
But your "remake of it" has potential for me :

How is the look ?

The overall look of twinforts is simplistic, but good. The teleporters look great, the lighting seems good, but could be a bit darker (because of the sky).
Detailing is fine, the mapmodels you used fit very well into the map. Not really much to complain about !

How is the gameplay ?

Well, as I said I am not a big fan of the original map. But your version is way better at this point, because now there are some places to hide from the enemies.
You also added some nice walljumps (If you start from the base you can easily jump down from wall to wall to the other side) and some jumppads in the middle of the maps.
There is only one complaint for me : Is it possible, that you forgot to activate the gravity at the teleports ? Seemed so to me while running around ^^

Result :
I don´t really have much to say about it. The technical issues are good as always, the layout is a matter of taste, but you improved it a lot.
I personally would like to see this in the new release, instead of the old one ;)

8/10

RaZgRiZ | 2012-10-04 21:35

The map was twice as bright a few revisions back, but i halved it after a few complaints of "day-like". Going any lower than this and it's likely i'd get complaints of being too dark. The moon is bright so i guess it justifies what i did.

As for the teleport gravity.. sorry, only RE can do that with pushers :P

And if it's included, it won't replace the old; just like kopenhagen didn't replace venice.

RaZgRiZ | 2012-10-08 19:47

Almighty eihrul demands thee to trial said creation and provide opinionated reviews!

Because come-on. I put the bases in ages ago and still nobody gave a shit to tell me anything about them. It's in line, he has work to do, get to it people!

Doko | 2012-10-14 22:29

Very simple map, simple layout, simple detail and this is very good, this is pretty much better than capture night, good job raz ;)
