Map Suggestions for TeleCTF

[Shotman]

I don't if this is in the right section but I want to suggest a couple maps.

CTF-VaultCity
CTF-GoliathCaves (probably add dukupads for the people that don't know how to piston)
CTF-Orbital
CTF-McSwartzly][
CTF-November

[PACO]

Looking at a bunch of maps right now Shotman. Also looking at tweaking the gametype rules. I think November might have a chance but the problem with a lot of those maps is the FC still needs to cap. Grabbing isn't a problem but evading dudes with translocators and instagib rifles for 20secs is pretty difficult unless there is a lot of teamplay involved. Unfortunately, we don't see enough teamplay these days.

Swiftshade made a map called Adonis and I added it to the list of maps to try for teleCTF. I think it looks pretty cool and has potential. After a few tweaks, I could also see it working very nicely in regular iCTF.

Are people pugging telegib?

Also, this is why I think you need to have the impact hammer on for telegib.

[WeeDMaN]

Peoples been playing teleCTF lately were few pugs during PugAthon but I do also think there's a Impact Hammer.

[Darkside]

there's definitely a hammer.

the mod is great. people need to try it.

[bear]

yes

[Shotman]

I would suggest just make it ShockTeleCTF. IG just seems out of place with Tele and Piston and especially if there is health, vials, armor ect. It could be a compromise between weaponsCTF and ICTF.

[PACO]

I'm thinking the IG rifle should do 150 damage. Instant in most instances but people who rack up pups/vials can handle some extra hits. Players will need to gamble on when they can afford to use the piston etc.

[Darkside]

I APPROVE. PLS UPDATE

Should there be a belt on every telectf map?? boots??

game plays fine without amp - not easy to cap as it is... i'm skeptical about amps.

[PACO]

Also thinking we should borrow the idea of HP takes one back up to 100. This would encourage more piston play. All of the maps would need to be re-worked and planned out. I'm hoping to enlist khxmz.

[n0mer]

Or put only one amp in the midle of the map with duration of 5 minutes and a 6 minutes to respawn.. i think it will be fun fighting for the amp to get some advantage, we can put the amp in the air so you need to use translocator to get it or a combination of piston and translocator.

bollwerk?

No love for Terra? How about Lavagiant? Let's get crazy! With a "newish" gamemode like this one, we shouldn't be afraid to try out maps even if your gut says it won't work. You never know how a map might play.

[RickJames]

The mod has been getting played with different maps being tested, I've pugged it once.

The trans makes it easier to get from base to base because you can move faster, but it's easier to hit translocating players than normal moving players, because they're floating through the air in-between throws and are easy to predict. You're also a very easy target when pistoning, again because of the predictable arc. For these reasons, huge nw maps don't tend to work. P4ce was very,very slow and maps like terra and lavagiant would be unplayable.

It works great on maps that are already fairly playable in insta, but benefit from having the offensive pace kicked up a bit. Examples are grendelkeep and diamondsword.

Wouldn't mind testing some of the maps mentioned here though- november, possibly bollwerk, etc. Making changes to the mod itself, too, like PACO suggested is probably good as well.

[Darkside]

boll does have some good potential

has orbital been attempted yet?

[n0mer]

[Darkside]

dmg tweaks are "in the works"

[Shotman]

I am still sticking that we should change it from insta to shock. Then maybe have a no trans zone (like in weapons JB) around powerups (amp, belt or something) where you need to use piston and teamwork to achieve the powerup. Just a thought.

[rev]

I dont understand the rationale behind nerfing the ig rifle to 150. The pups were designed to work in conjunction with the damage amounts from normal weapons. ie. 60 from shock rifle etc. I really think that if you just made the mod have a primary shock fire or sniper rifle it would flow much more smoothly. This mod has a lot of potential imo, just needs the schematics figured out. I could be wrong, but we should try it both ways.

[Darkside]

it's just enabling players that stack armor/etc to survive more than one hit, while keeping the majority of frags one hit.

Sniper rifle, sounds amazing!!
