New Map: Mega Procyon

[Who]

Hi all,

I see so many complaints all the time about chokepoints and camping in maps that I decided to take a stab at making a map with a layout to defeat this problem once and for all!


I proudly present to you: Mega Procyon (2.4 MB) (click to download!)

It features a unique layout, with two hundred fifty two different ways to go directly to the enemy base! Many of you might wonder, "but Who, how could I ever navigate such an incredibly option rich map? Won't I get lost?"

Fear not!

• Every room is uniquely identified by a location on a grid (see below)
  
• The grid location of each room is displayed on the ground at the center of each room
  
• There are location entities to help your teammates quickly locate you
  
• Additionally, each section is color coded for easy identification
  

Here is the map grid:

Good map, but 36 rooms, one sneaky dretch/granger will be near impossible to catch.

kk played 1vs1, 2vs2 and 5vs5 games some ideas:
- CLIP IT
- add "you are here" map in every room
- Not my idea, but it could be interesting to have a teleporter+portal on every dead end

Looks like a great idea for 1.2 map!!!

Über map!

Very repetitive, its the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... Just making a point.
I was talking with someone, I think it was Hamstar, and they suggested adding variable doors between every room.  These doors would randomly be open or closed for the whole game.  Open doors would work just like normal doors, where closed doors would act like walls.  This would allow each time you play this map to be a new experience.

Well... i thinked about map with stage-dependence doors map. But foor real gameplay you need carefull matrix minimization. Im too lazy for that. =)

PS I dont think this ctrl-c + ctrl-v map need doors. It gonna broke all concept.

How about you compile VIS before releasing the map publicly... Pushcannon lags less then this. This problem should have come out by now.

[A Spork]

Ugh yes, horribly laggy.

Map runs fine on my 'aging' 1.6GHz.

I meant when there are actually some players on the map. But still, rendering every single room in front of you all the time is ridiculous.
