Bps and plupp has made a new map. Cargo Bay 12. As you might notice it is BETA so items are being tested and rearranged for balance purposes.
But for that to happend we need feedback from players.

The map

The locs (creds to flinta)

















and please search for the easter egg on the map

Nice, I love this sort of theme. When the final version is done, I'll probably make some Frikbot waypoints.

It will be done when the map is balanced and tested enough ..
the more ppl play on it the faster it gets done

+ No pent for a change.
- Ring encourages to turn off the...
+ ...pretty textures.

is it 2on2 or 4on4 map ?

Seems like a 4on4 map based on the news item on the front page!

yes we aimed for it to be a 4on4 map but you never know, it might fit in for 2on2 aswell/instead...

btw, did anyone find that easter egg Adde was talking about?

Although i see that some already applaused the texture theme, i think it looks a bit boring. I'd rather see textures like the blue theme for VDM3V3, i.e. a bit futuristic.

first quick thoughts:
- the doors leading to the QUAD from the top should open as fast as the LG doors. when you walk in, you get stucked for a moment
- the SNG is too easy to access. I'd switch the NG <-> SNG with places, or perhaps move SNG to GL, GL to NG and NG to SNG......
- RL area is a PAIN...can't think of anything right now to make it better....
- the lift at SNG area should go down regardless someone standing on it....

just had this wild idea.....put the quad on top of the tele where ring is, and move ring to the quad position....

Id really like to see this map developing. I hope people will join #bay12 and get some mixes running on it. This is the only way to make this good map an outstanding map.

What's the idea of that big, triggered-on tele apart from quick falling into the hollow water beneath?

And is there a secret area there?

Only as a spectator, see time!'s post.

so, what's happening now ?

Dont really know... Seen som good suggestions but personally i think it needs more testing than like 2-3 mixes? It's not that effective to try one game and then change something on the map and try again...

Only thing we have done yet is that we increased speed of the big doors and maked it easier to get up on ramps@mega.

But keep make comments, its always welcome!

Just keep in mind, objects that move should really be taken into consideration if it's supposed to be used in just one way or if it can be "abused" in some way.
A lot of custom maps have this flaw imo, that lifts etc tend to get annoying more than fun/helpful for the maps playstyle..

So... Any news on this?

Perhaps use it in a ladder or custom map tournament?

I don't know much about 4on4, but this map looks great and looks playable. Even though the qw monkeys won't give new maps a chance, the creators can still pat themselves on the back for creating a cool map. Respect!

I have over 500 maps on my linux server and people only want to play about 10 of them.

Nice map, think it would be best for 4on4. Might seems kinda dull 2on2...

The project is being revitalized now. We encourage everyone to help Pluppa, bps and Muffin get it done and mixed enough so we can get rid of some problems that always occur.
Soon, new play tests will be carried out! Stay tuned.

let me know if it's suitable for some FFA pwnage or w/e

Some screnies from the bay12test2:

Underwater RL - SNG water - QUAD tunnel

Redone Quad Area/end of Water tunnel mentioned above (where LG used to be in the first version)

Tele up now with GL behind Tele (the previous Ring placement)

RA low now with moved rox and Mega from switch

Reworked CENTER area with RING instead of Quad and a little WELL (activated by the button) leading to RL/Quad

Ya UP, cells pack from YA low moved to water below Quad

Secret redone: LG now where Mega used to be. Also the uncrossable gate

Tele UP: the second SNG

Pillars at YA Up now thinner

Horizontall bars over the Secret LG room. Unreachable from above for the camper there

Where can I download this map? The original link doesn't work anymore.

dzi&#281;ki!

Due to the limited time of the makers and for reasons not to be posted here, the 4/4 project of Bay12 gets suspended indefinitely. The map will only be released as an FFA map as we know it now. Thank you all for your assistance and feedback.

Sad to hear that, because I think this map had a great potential
