Here it is... my first CTF map squeezed together...

Started it yesterday... damn I'm fast if I just make me do it


So this a 800kb small jungle map,
inspired by Diablo II Act 3, the kurast bazaar.

But, I had some problems.
I compiled it 5 times.
1 - just to take a look
2 - forgot to add the speaker triggers
3 - the flags didn't show up. The cap point trigger was solid and invisible, bugged. Fixed it.
4 - the flags where vice versa: red flag next to blue spawn and blue flag next to red spawn.
5 - I swapped the flags and triggers place, STILL the flags are near the wrong spawn ! WTH ?

Well, since I had it up here ^ and am glad I got the map working and FINISHED, I'm gonna leave the flags like that.
Spices things up, no regular run get it and run back home to cap a flag, but now it's: get the flag near your spawn and try to push it into the other flag ! Not cool ?
Okay I fix it as soon as someone explains me why the flags are next to the wrong spawn, even though I swapped places and compiled again...

Now, how do I best share my map ?

I'll push you in the right direction by moving your thread to "custom map releases" instead of "editing, gaming and design"

Distibution shouldn't be a main concern...

My opinion is to get it on servers, and play it, people may or may not join, but what good is a map thats been downloaded 10,000 times, if it doesn't get used...

*EDIT - As for flags, being in wrong place, not sure what to tell you, you moved them, that should do it, was there an error in compile, and you still have first attempt?

search forums on how to package your map in a pk3 file. A pk3 file contains your map and some other files that tell the game where the map is located, the name, gametypes, etc.. Search for precise info on this..

As to sharing it.. i dont know about modsonline, but sof2files.com (http://soldieroffortune2.filefront.com/) is the place to be for most files conserning sof2.. try posting it there when you packaged your map..

nm on the searching.. i did it for ya .. http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-87.html
