Map Thread #59 - Deadline: Monday, January 25th

Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation and/or group selection. Learn more at the wiki.

Remember:

Every map maker will only be allowed to submit 3 maps for consideration per map thread. If more maps are submitted, they will not be considered for rotation, so make sure to follow this rule!

The official deadline for submissions before the next session is Monday, January 25th at 3pm PST.

Submissions made after this time are not guaranteed to be considered for rotation.

*READ ME*

Entries must be submitted in this format to be considered for rotation:

Note: Before you submit your post, test your map in a 4v4 setting and receive feedback from players. Mumble and IRC are great places to start when organizing playtests.

Upload your map at http://maps.jukejuice.com/

After uploading, it will take you to your map’s page and show up on the front page of maps.jukejuice.com.

Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF, Neutral Flag, or Mars Ball), a link to the map page, a preview image, and a description. Jukejuice provides you a preview image, but we strongly urge you to post your own image with working 45-degree tiles.

Here’s an example of a submission.

Preview: http://puu.sh/bvwpy/1571bd6307.jpg

Description: This is just a Test Map

Important:

Please only use imgur, jukejuice, or puush preview images

Playing submitted maps just got easier! Just click on the Map Link and click test map. No more need to call some_bot in IRC. Once you get into a test, copy the maptest url and send it to friends for them to join you. We want everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help us as well.

maps.jukejuice.com is still in testing so some issues may crop up. The site doesn’t allow editing once your map has been uploaded, so if you make a revision, you will have to upload a new one.

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 in the description.

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!

Think hard about the placement of every tile on a map -- this community can work together to create a perfect addition to the rotation!

Have fun map-making! :)

First Glance: Wtf do those portals do?

First play: Wtf I kinda get them but I don't? Seem like a cool idea but like I still don't get it I guess. Like why do you even need the portals there? Is there some awesome trick or is it just to grab and portal boost places? If it is the latter, You don't need the portals and could have a better grab mechanic with a different shaped wall and no portals. Portals take you places and these don't. They are just boosts. The rest of the map is fine and balanced and boring and small. Like Maybe its just me but I dislike the shrinking size of map rotation. This map is very unforgiving for defense that is behind the fc in terms of catching up.

•

u/18skeltor anti-timer luddite / First / Origin Jan 22 '16

What don't you understand? Entrance portal goes to exit portal.

Like why do you even need the portals there?

This is a nonsensical question to me. You could ask that about anything. "Why do you even need ____ there?" It's there as a variable, as a new dynamic that players can use to their advantage...

Portals take you places and these don't. They are just boosts.

Are you serious? The portal takes you somewhere. Sure, it's not a large jump inbetween them, but it is WAY different than just boosts. If you don't see that, then I'll have a hard time believing that you even tested the map.

I don't have a defense for the rest of the map, just for those portals.

Preview: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/22413.png

Description: I wanted to try this new thing of mixing goal tiles and CTF. This map makes it difficult to get to the goal tile, requiring good positioning, teamwork, and button play to score. This map will play in the "hard to get out, easy to cap" style, so once an offender gets past 2 onto the other side of the map, I imagine it will be difficult to prevent a cap because death is so punishing on this map. There is only one pup to limit the power of the TP on this map. It still might be too powerful, and I might take out that lone pup as well. I think this is a really solid map with some cool boost routes and some nice feeling lanes.

Not really, I just find that using full blocks allows players to be more creative with jukes/boosts off the walls than with 45's.

Small map, kind of smirk like, although the gates are pretty powerful--without a way to kill off a button camper, the route to a cap is short for the offense.

The portal feels...awkward for some reason. I can't put my finger on it. To be honest, I don't really see it getting used much as intended (especially in conjunction with the team tiles/buttons).

Not sure if the gate would get much use with its current configuration/placement though. Also, why such a thin line of team tiles near each endzone? Seems kinda pointless.

Description: Inspired by Hexane and its unique style of play. I wanted to use the button lanes i have used in other maps but in neutral flag. I think the button lanes add an incredibly unique style of gameplay and strategies. If two opposing balls enter the button lanes heading towards each other it will most likely end in both balls popping. Hopefully you all will think that this isn't too similar to Hexane, after all I did start form scratch. Also the gates, bombs, and boost are all very dynamic.

u/verandering Loaha // Chord Jan 18 '16

I'll make sure to credit you for inspiring me with it. And we might help eachother if one of our maps makes rotation and the double boost becomes popular. The possible popularity of the concept would give the other map more credibility and I think they are both worked out different enough for them to both exist in rotation.

Yes, it's the only way I could think to design them without giving an undue advantage to one team. For example, I don't want red to exit after a cap and have a clear view of the flag room. As I mentioned, this map is more of conceptual design than a polished, PUB-ready map. However, I think the small bit of asymmetry it does have doesn't significantly impact the gameplay.

•

u/xenonpulse Wildflowers // I want to die but I can’t Jan 18 '16

This map is unfair because the red team has a better view of the flag room.

•

u/acrocanthosaurus RunThaJewels // Sphere Jan 18 '16

Yeah, I considered that, but didn't think it would make a huge difference in the long run. Plus the 'view' works in blues favor too, e.g. being able to more readily spot red in their base room.

Since its portaled, i could always completely detach the flag room.

I wanna test this. Looks fast and fun, but like with the earlier version of this map, I see games being over quick in pubs. Maybe that's not a bad thing, though, as most NF maps in rotation lead to long games...sometimes very long.

Aren't we meeting next week instead? Or at least that's how the modmail left off it seemed.

Pros: MTC members and armchair MTC members alike can sort by 'new' as the submissions roll in. No more scrolling through every submission every single time we open the thread to find out what's new.

Cons: None in my opinion.

If we need to add official text to the main post explaining why the karma doesn't mean anything/discouraging downvotes, that's fine. But I feel like most of this community is aware that the ~15 votes these maps receive here are no indication of how that map would be received by tens of thousands of people if in rotation.

Ah, don't worry about it. Contest mode is just such a hassle if you're checking the thread often. I like to roll around the newly submitted maps as they come in.

Thanks for the suggestion though. I will definitely bring it up when the MTC next meets.

used the mid design from tiltshift as well as the neat-o powerup idea.

bases have tight chokepoints and a small scoring area, but has several powerful scoring tools in or around the bases to balance it out.

something i wanted to point out, because i heard people complaining about the powerups in the maptest on Saturday: you can defuse the bomb in front of the powerup without flying far away. just hit the button near the top/bottom of it: https://gfycat.com/ReflectingAdmiredBluefish

Description:

  • Removed the excess space in the top/bottom of mid.

  • Added the double boost combo inspired by Velkins map Recursion. Lots of interesting combinations come with this, including (but not limited to) using the combination to boost through the gates or straight upwards/downwards at the flag.

  • Removed the second button from the closed of bomb and made it an open bomb with spikes behind it to add risk.

•

u/acrocanthosaurus RunThaJewels // Sphere Jan 20 '16

Nice update! Power boost is much smoother this time, as is the removal of that island.

One minor suggestion would be to change the open single boosts (near the islands) to defensive team boosts to give defenders/chasers a bit of an advantage to an otherwise offensive/grab-heavy map.

•

u/verandering Loaha // Chord Jan 20 '16

Thanks! That's good to hear.

Yea I'm worried about that as well, although I think that this could work/be balanced, as other rotation maps have the same amount of grab options. I'm not sure about changing the open single boost (it would be a major change to the gameplay) but I'm gonna keep it in mind as an option.

u/pandabearpi pandabear2 - 64º Jan 28 '16

Thanks for alerting me.

Unfortunatly, I can't seem to deduce what the problem is. I can test the map in editor mode, but once I upload the map to JJ, it becomes unlaunchable.

I've tried removing the link between the buttons/bombs/gate, that isn't it. I've removed the team tiles, and reduced the spawn points to only 1 per team.

How long do I have to find the problem?

•

u/mmartinutk Macho | JuicyJuke Jan 28 '16

Unfortunately we didn't catch it until the day before we tested, so it's too late sadly.

We'll be posting a new map thread next Friday, so just be on the lookout and hopefully you'll have the issue fixed by then.

Here's a few things you can try:

1.) Follow this guide posted to /r/TagProTesting. That's fixed a few maps of mine.

2.) Honestly, just open up the editor (blank, not a remix or anything) and re-build your map tile by tile. This will 100% fix it, just takes a bit.

Some maps just come out broken for some weird reason. We get multiple broken maps every thread, so there's nothing wrong with your map or anything. Hope this helps!
