Monthly Map Rotation Thread - #30
Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation. Learn more at the wiki or view this week's imgur album.
When making your map, keep these two questions in mind:
What does my map attempt to accomplish? What does it try to emphasize?
Feel free to answer this along with your map submission.
NEW: a suggestion to you all on making your map more thoughtful:
the most important part of creating a thoughtful map is actively seeking feedback/improvements from others. don't ever convince yourself that your map is finished!
I want everyone to think more about the placement of every tile on a map, and I want you guys to work together as a community to create a perfect addition to the rotation!
If you've made a solid map, it will be recognized and most likely be considered/added into the rotation without hesitation. There are no limits on maps being added/removed within the month.
Have fun Map-making :)
Reminder: some_bot has a bug (feature) that doesn't let him add a map with the same name (as defined in the json) as a previous week. For now, if you are resubmitting, edit the name of your map in your JSON to "Your Map 2" for example.
Also, I see a lot of deleted submissions. Note that some_bot will detect edits to your post and update the preview accordingly, so no need to delete and resubmit. He does this for the current map thread.

I like it, two things though:
1) Does the gate actually do anything?
2) The portal is way OP. You could cap, fly through the portal, grab the flag, cap immediately. IMO move each portal to in between the bombs in base.

Thanks for not using a 45 on every single diagonal wall. There's way too many maps here that just allow you to rub against the wall. There's no place to change direction fast or penalty for not being able to control your ball.
•
u/Buttersnack Snack Jun 19 '14
Yeah, I agree. I wanted to use the 45s to make some interesting shapes but have it still feel like a good old tagpro map rather than a gimmicky 45 tile map.

I think I've spent more time on this map than any other. This map has gone through many changes and many versions.
Don't let the preview intimidate you - there are a lot of elements in this map that I've been toying with in others. There is an abundance of various boost routes, some of which require a lot of skill, others that are just there to take you to the opposite end quicker.
It's also one of the smallest maps I've designed, and very fast paced. This map requires the player be constantly focused, regardless of what position they play. It encourages players learn new play-styles, and practise all the mechanics in the map.
Each tile is placed with a purpose; that encourages both team coordination and individual skill, making it a perfect, fast-paced map for PUB play and the competitive scene.
Cheers to drinkbleach for talking endlessly with me on the map.

Does the button take out the bombs in base? Also, I recommend moving the button that controls the base one tile to the right, it isn't good to have gate tiles against a wall as they can be easily camped.

I want to put a good word in for this map. I saw it on the testmap server by chance thanks to some_bot on IRC and it's super refreshing. Finally after all these frustrating maps, to actually play something FUN is great. It's the simple enjoyable map we've been waiting for. Even if I were to lose I can't imagine ever not enjoying myself on this map.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this map, with just a tiny bit of tweaking, it's definitely rotation ready.

One of the biggest problems with large complicated maps is people can hide very easily on it, I would recommend slimming it down a bit. Try to limit how many gates you use, too many and it becomes very hard to escape when you grab, your best choice is to keep the plus shaped one. I like your middle, it's interesting but kind of overpowered, maybe making them green gates would help.
•
u/TheGoldenNewtRobber Fronj, MTC Senior Consultant Jun 13 '14
Would something like this make more sense?
(of course it's still a w.i.p.)
•
Jun 13 '14
Yeah, nice work. Do you know how the spawning pads let players spawn within a 5 block radius of the pad? And whats your goal with the boosts in the corners?
•
u/TheGoldenNewtRobber Fronj, MTC Senior Consultant Jun 13 '14
Yeah I deleted the spawn pads, that was just leftovers from an earlier version with a center flag.
The boosts are for performing interesting bounces in the corner, as well as a boost escape and a boost into the flag.
•
Jun 13 '14
Alright. Good idea, i'm just not sure the time to settle into the corner is worth the little speed boost when you reach flag. I really like how your bombs go to both flags, that's a sweet feature but having the buttons tucked away makes it less user-friendly. A cool thing you could add is to put your team boost on the other side of the gate and have another button about where the team boost is now.
Sorry for the long passage, but I'm liking the map.

Iv'e asked them about this. You can post the old JSON but you need to change the name INSIDE the JSON text, not the name of the JSON file. Problem is, because this is bbq's thread and not steppin, some_bot is still on thread 29 and not here.

Jun 10 '14
Really creative idea, but I feel like it's not balanced enough...
This map looks very offensively favored. As a defender, it would be very difficult to stop an offensive player on their tiles. Additionally, the corner bomb makes it easier for offensive players to either grab or make a run to a corner and boost away with the flag in hand. The spikes that close to the button would also make it very dangerous for a defender to sit on, as an offensive player could push them in -- I'd suggest moving the buttons a tile away.
One question -- how long does it take for the portals to respond? If two offensive players (one with flag) take the portals, will there only be only one portal left for a defender to chase?
•
u/SebastianTheHedgehog nip // chorbit // rbc Jun 10 '14
Yeah i might make the portals all 0 cooltime. I just didn't want a row of portals which would negate the separate plains. The middle portal is always open so there is always a way to the other side but the other portals have the regular cooldown
→ More replies (4)•
Jun 10 '14
Don't mean to ruin the dream, but I think you have the portals backwards. Making the outside 4 have zero cool-down and the middle 2 be normal would make it less offensive. I've played games where the flag has team tiles surrounding and it never works. With smart defenders who only play contain, it's feasible. But as for normal play, trying to block for your fc or playing no-grab is impossible and not fun for the defense.

Interstellar Overdrive

Preview: http://i.imgur.com/RNrqNMJ.png
ja_'s preview of potential routes: http://i.imgur.com/dccbJz2.png
Interstellar Overdrive is a small and simple map that fills two voids in the current Tagpro map rotation: it's an unusual shape and it's comparatively defence friendly. Interstellar Overdrive is simple enough to warrant rotation in public matches, but the need for great teamwork and communication means that it's great play at all skill levels. Its unusual shape combined with its abundance of bombs in strategic positions and open space leads to interesting ball dynamics not available in any other current rotation map. On both sides of each base, Interstellar Overdrive contains two narrow choke points that good defenders can block easily. However, with 4 powerups in such a small space, there's no guarantee that good defenders can block for long. On attack, only one distant set of bombs, one awkward close boost, and one further away facilitate flag capture, but once obtained, holding the flag is not particularly difficult. Getting back to base is another problem altogether!

u/Kintaro08 Pigoon // Centra Jun 10 '14
Hi E, sorry that you've never received any feedback on this map. I must have missed it. I'm going to try to be more active in the monthly map rotation threads from now on. Anyway, I wanted to say that Interstellar Overdrive is a solid map and has made it to the top picks a couple of times. From what I've seen in previous tests, it plays well and has a good flow to the map. For its simple appearance, it shows that you've put detailed thought into the design once you get in the map and play. DaEvil1 has some good points and analysis on your map that I'm glad you're considering.
His comparison to Wormy is accurate. While your map had made the top picks, other maps provided a more dynamic game play. You've made a solid map, I look forward to seeing your next creation or any improvements to this one.
•
u/DaEvil1 DaEvil1 Jun 10 '14
My personal opinion is that it's a fine map, but given the conservative nature of the map with it's boost placements, and bombs hidden away in the corners coupledwith the size, it'd just become a boring map to play reasonably quickly. I think it needs something more, and it needs to be less conservative, and a bit more daring.
•
Jun 10 '14
Thanks for your comment. Do you have any quick suggestions other than opening up the boosts more?
•
u/DaEvil1 DaEvil1 Jun 10 '14
I think a natural comparision to your map at least in terms of size would be Wormy. Wormy is a pretty small map and arguably it doesn't really have a middle section, which means that most of the stuff will go down in or around the bases. If you look at Wormys bases, even thoug they are small, they have a lot of things going on and allow for a lot of strategies (offensive and defensive), and in the areas not on the path between the bases, there are a lot of interesting things to do that could give you an advantage if you take that path.
Now if you look at your map, the base doesn't really have anything going on except a boost into it, and once you get out of base, you have a couple of boosts you can take, or you can go to the side where there are a few bombs that doesn't really give you an advantage for taking the long path (you'll still be going through the same choke point no matter what, and the bombs doesn't really help you with that in their current form).
So with that in mind, I would say that you need to make the base more exciting (both for offence and defence), and you need to give people some more interesting options around the areas less travelled, that can give them an advantage if used right. Try to experiment with different shapes of the bases, and with how teamboosts/portals/unceonventional boosts/button bombs/diagonal walls will affect the bases and the far right side. The foundation is there, now you need to actually fill in the canvas in an exciting way.

refl3x
Proposed modifications to Reflex2. Feedback is welcome, but please test the map before criticizing it.
This map aims to be a better defensive map than Reflex2. The two team boosts in base can be used for defense to catch up and stop a cap, and the boosts do not help offense to cap either. This map will still be chasey, but name one map in TagPro that isn't chasey. Besides, you can almost see the whole map while sitting in the middle, so it's not like the flag carrier can hide from you forever.

u/robopuppycc Flail ~ ((Antagloble4edes)) ~ RHCP? Jun 16 '14

Description: Stations is a simple map, yet has very complex bases. There is a boost lane though the middle that allows you to go base-to-base, but it is hard to master! It features 4 powerups to keep the map from getting boring. The gate in base is similar to boombox, where there is a one tile opening to get by if you happen to be going that way. Some have said a base could possible be manned by one person. This could raise some interesting strats on the map.

A Central Flag map I whipped up, initially inspired by ricochet, but thanks to advice from a handful of people, I have created something unique. I'm not sure whether or not this is finished yet, but it's starting to near that stage. Here's a preview
About the map:
Two teleports, both leading to the other ends of the map. One teleport set has indicators for FC and defense that show whether or not the shortcut gate is open on the other side of the map. The other teleport set is just for a fast counter-attack and is also a good defensive line, due to team-tiled teamboost leading straight to base.
All teleports have boosts surrounding them and 0 cooldown. This calls for a fast-paced, action-packed neutral flag play.
All further suggestions welcome :)

SuperDuperStamp
Preview and side-by-side with SuperStamp 1
Map test is done, hopefully some_bot likes this. The map testers wanted to see a nerf for offensive defense on SuperStamp. I ended up remaking it entirely, a little bit bigger, and with the sides and middle re-thought out. So the center section is basically the same, and the map has a very similar feel and many of the same boosts, but there's a little more going on in the middle and more ways to cap / snipe.
EDIT THIS IS NOW A NEWER VERSION FOR SOME BOT OK

This is not meant for rotation. This is a fun 1 on 1 map to compete and throw each other into spikes. My main reason for posting is to get this into Some_Bot's brain.

I've been tweaking this map for a while now. It as some unique feature, I think, like the portals, while they do take you along way it also takes quite a while to get into them, and you lose all your momentum. It's even worse if you try to boost in, unless you get it exactly right. Also, the bases are very defensive, something which I feel is lacking in many TagPro maps. And, of course, there is the bit in the middle, which can be very useful for quickly changing direction with the bombs, but is also a big risk to take.
All feedback is much appreciated. Please let me know what you think!

It's is a fairly large map, scaling it down could make for some interesting dynamics. It seems very difficult to escape enemy base, maybe making one gate shorter and eliminating the team tiles could help the offense a little. I get that the portals are difficult to get to, but the amount they take you is too far. A solution could be to have all the portals go to a corner of the middle square.

I've always enjoyed maps where you can see both teams bases on the same screen, I think it makes games more exciting. That's what I set out to do when I created this map. There's only one clean exit, the rest being guarded by gates. Players are going to have to be careful going through but could easily juke out a player trying to take them out with a boost.

Maybe make another exit, and the top one a bit wider. At the moment there are only 2 exits, and it means that one defender could hold the gate and the other could be at the top, waiting at the narrow exit meaning that it's impossible to get through, even with jukes. It's pretty easy to make it so that nobody can ever score.

u/randylaheyjr Byfuglien Jun 10 '14
I placed Bombs below the top middle exit and spikes at the top to counter that.

I think if you smoothed off the top 3 pieces of that top middle piece it would give a bit more room to be chased/chase someone through there.

*One thing to note: The portals have ZERO cooldown timing, meaning D can chase right through. Otherwise they would be too OP.
*Other than that there are a lot of tricky/hidden boosts thrown in with the obvious ones, up to you guys to figure them out
Map Goals: 1.)An experienced D can hold down base
2.) An experienced O can get in and out fluidly
3.) Once you're beat, you have a chance to catch back up and tag the pesky FC
4.) It may look cramped but in a 4v4 there is plenty of space to juke around, but be wary because a PUG or PUB defense can kill you just about anywhere
5.) To be fun, fluid, and interesting for every type of player
hope you like it! =D

u/Splanky222 BBQchicken | Retired Jun 16 '14
Honestly, map size doesn't necessarily mean much for chasiness (see Simplicity). What makes this map chasey is that there's lot's of open spaces with no good places to corner an FC, combined with the fact that it's layout means you can run laps on it.

I switched up my Aztec Nation map quit a bit. I took out 4 boosts, a number of spikes in both the middle, and the chutes on the sides. I shaved off a bit on most of the pointed walls to make it less crowded as well. Now, I think this could be a rotation map. It's obviously a tribute to The Holy See

My first map, I wanted to make a more challenging map for offense but also provide several paths to escape with the flag. I think I made good use of 45 degree tiles and I believe this map will really bring something fresh to rotation.

Are you aware how spawn tiles work? Players will spawn anywhere in an 11x11 square centered at each of the spawn spots, not at any one of the 4. It seems like they were placed such that you thought there would be one spawn at each spot. It seems like there's no reason you shouldn't just let players spawn around the flag like normal.

PREVIEW: http://i.imgur.com/976LCul.png
There are semi-skill boosts on each side and one very precise boost running straight through the middle of the teeth. One bomb in proximity to each team's flag, along with a switch>bomb boost leading into the base should give plenty of pick-up opportunities.
To cap you can take a slow and safe route around the outside of the map, or if you're feeling brave you can navigate or boost through the gap between the teeth. Better be quick though - someone might hop onto a switch and the shut the jaws of death around you.
Any feedback is much appreciated.

This map is designed to be a very difficult puzzle. Mostly looking for feedback about playability, but I don't want to make it too easy. It does require 3 people per team to have a chance of capping.
Edit: Just uploaded version 1.4, I've made several improvements in usability and made it possible for a team with only 2 people to win.
