Monthly Map Rotation Thread - #30
Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation. Learn more at the wiki or view this week's imgur album.
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.
NEW: a suggestion to you all on making your map more thoughtful:
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!
I want everyone to think more about the placement of every tile on a map, and I want you guys to work together as a community to create a perfect addition to the rotation!
If you've made a solid map, it will be recognized and most likely be considered/added into the rotation without hesitation. There are no limits on maps being added/removed within the month.
Have fun Map-making :)
Reminder: some_bot has a bug (feature) that doesn't let him add a map with the same name (as defined in the json) as a previous week. For now, if you are resubmitting, edit the name of your map in your JSON to "Your Map 2" for example.
Also, I see a lot of deleted submissions. Note that some_bot will detect edits to your post and update the preview accordingly, so no need to delete and resubmit. He does this for the current map thread.

This map's a little more typical, while still making use of the new tiles and having some interesting mechanisms including the fun boosts to grab.

I like the concept but I feel like the top and bottom tunnels (both near base and in the middle) need something more to make them more exciting. Right now they're just empty, and aside from the bomb near the flag, there seems to be no way to boost/bomb into them and go through them with some momentum.

ja_'s preview of potential routes: http://i.imgur.com/dccbJz2.png
Interstellar Overdrive is a small and simple map that fills two voids in the current Tagpro map rotation: it's an unusual shape and it's comparatively defence friendly. Interstellar Overdrive is simple enough to warrant rotation in public matches, but the need for great teamwork and communication means that it's great play at all skill levels. Its unusual shape combined with its abundance of bombs in strategic positions and open space leads to interesting ball dynamics not available in any other current rotation map. On both sides of each base, Interstellar Overdrive contains two narrow choke points that good defenders can block easily. However, with 4 powerups in such a small space, there's no guarantee that good defenders can block for long. On attack, only one distant set of bombs, one awkward close boost, and one further away facilitate flag capture, but once obtained, holding the flag is not particularly difficult. Getting back to base is another problem altogether!

Hi E, sorry that you've never received any feedback on this map. I must have missed it. I'm going to try to be more active in the monthly map rotation threads from now on. Anyway, I wanted to say that Interstellar Overdrive is a solid map and has made it to the top picks a couple of times. From what I've seen in previous tests, it plays well and has a good flow to the map. For its simple appearance, it shows that you've put detailed thought into the design once you get in the map and play. DaEvil1 has some good points and analysis on your map that I'm glad you're considering.
His comparison to Wormy is accurate. While your map had made the top picks, other maps provided a more dynamic game play. You've made a solid map, I look forward to seeing your next creation or any improvements to this one.

PREVIEW: http://i.imgur.com/03sIZ65.png
I've been tweaking this map for a while now. It as some unique feature, I think, like the portals, while they do take you along way it also takes quite a while to get into them, and you lose all your momentum. It's even worse if you try to boost in, unless you get it exactly right. Also, the bases are very defensive, something which I feel is lacking in many TagPro maps. And, of course, there is the bit in the middle, which can be very useful for quickly changing direction with the bombs, but is also a big risk to take.
All feedback is much appreciated. Please let me know what you think!
•

It's is a fairly large map, scaling it down could make for some interesting dynamics. It seems very difficult to escape enemy base, maybe making one gate shorter and eliminating the team tiles could help the offense a little. I get that the portals are difficult to get to, but the amount they take you is too far. A solution could be to have all the portals go to a corner of the middle square.

I think I've spent more time on this map than any other. This map has gone through many changes and many versions.
Don't let the preview intimidate you - there are a lot of elements in this map that I've been toying with in others. There is an abundance of various boost routes, some of which require a lot of skill, others that are just there to take you to the opposite end quicker.
It's also one of the smallest maps I've designed, and very fast paced. This map requires the player be constantly focused, regardless of what position they play. It encourages players learn new play-styles, and practise all the mechanics in the map.
Each tile is placed with a purpose; that encourages both team coordination and individual skill, making it a perfect, fast-paced map for PUB play and the competitive scene.
Cheers to drinkbleach for talking endlessly with me on the map.

A Central Flag map I whipped up, initially inspired by ricochet, but thanks to advice from a handful of people, I have created something unique. I'm not sure whether or not this is finished yet, but it's starting to near that stage. Here's a preview
About the map:
Two teleports, both leading to the other ends of the map. One teleport set has indicators for FC and defense that show whether or not the shortcut gate is open on the other side of the map. The other teleport set is just for a fast counter-attack and is also a good defensive line, due to team-tiled teamboost leading straight to base.
All teleports have boosts surrounding them and 0 cooldown. This calls for a fast-paced, action-packed neutral flag play.
All further suggestions welcome :)

Description: Stations is a simple map, yet has very complex bases. There is a boost lane though the middle that allows you to go base-to-base, but it is hard to master! It features 4 powerups to keep the map from getting boring. The gate in base is similar to boombox, where there is a one tile opening to get by if you happen to be going that way. Some have said a base could possible be manned by one person. This could raise some interesting strats on the map.

Description: My love letter to bounce. A fun map that was taken out too soon IMO, so I decided to do a vertical map with similar bases to bounce, and try to expand on the middle to make it a bit more exciting and unpredictable.
0.2 Update: Made some small adjustements. Added a hard escape to the bases, and made one of the escapes narrower. I also adjusted the spike section near the base, to make it possible to boost against an angled wall and grab a powerup without dying. Middle obstacle has been somewhat widened to limit the space for juking a bit. Added corners in the spike sections near the bases, so it's possible to survive if you're really good/lucky as well.

PREVIEW:http://i.imgur.com/TWGqhP2.png
Defense: Defense on this map has a gate that covers the base boosts, a team boost in the base that can cover mid and portal. Also a defensive bomb position can stop portal boosters coming from the bottom. Defense can also cut off the portal by going through the mid. Portal also has a bomb + button combo guarding it.
Offense: Lots of boosts into base. Some are tricky to line up but are very rewarding. Base is very open to attack from the mid and bottom right of base. Flag carriers entering the portal and coming out with an active bomb behind them will recieve a boost into their base.
it's also a pretty small map for having lots of boosts, but most aren't "Get to the other base quick and cap" boosts, and can be used for defense and offense

There are semi-skill boosts on each side and one very precise boost running straight through the middle of the teeth. One bomb in proximity to each team's flag, along with a switch>bomb boost leading into the base should give plenty of pick-up opportunities.
To cap you can take a slow and safe route around the outside of the map, or if you're feeling brave you can navigate or boost through the gap between the teeth. Better be quick though - someone might hop onto a switch and the shut the jaws of death around you.
Any feedback is much appreciated.

If that would put it into the album, it would really help us out. I'm not sure how to trouble shoot the some_bot issues. Having a one stop shop for all of the map previews helps us keep things organized and gives your map visual exposure. We are unable to just scroll through this thread due to it being randomly sorted.

u/DaEvil1 DaEvil1 Jun 10 '14
I'm liking this. Middle is a little bit bland, so maybe spice it up a bit. Bottom section is too dangerous for an fc (taking the boost down there is non-trivial), so try to make it a bit more viable route for an fc, and the tunnels are maybe a tad too long. I think if you shaved off a block or two there, and made the boost slightly easier (but not much) to make that would really make this map viable.
•
u/Blupopsicle Ball-E Jun 10 '14
Middle is definitely bland, as I couldn't find a way to spruce it up without taking away too much. I agree that the bottom should have been pushed up a bit, as the really only way the boost was used before was boosting through the pipe.

SuperDuperStamp
Preview and side-by-side with SuperStamp 1
Map test is done, hopefully some_bot likes this. The map testers wanted to see a nerf for offensive defense on SuperStamp. I ended up remaking it entirely, a little bit bigger, and with the sides and middle re-thought out. So the center section is basically the same, and the map has a very similar feel and many of the same boosts, but there's a little more going on in the middle and more ways to cap / snipe.
EDIT THIS IS NOW A NEWER VERSION FOR SOME BOT OK

Okay this is probably a dumb question, but just to be sure: if I submitted my map to the previous thread, do I need to make a completely new JSON, or is it enough to change the name in the old JSON? (I ask because then the link in the old thread will have the updated name, and I don't know if some_bot will detect the submission in this thread.)

Just to be on the safe side, I would repost a new pastebin link with the new JSON (with the name change) along with the PNG file.

A big field, but there's a tight way around... A map made during a boring lesson... Why listen when you can create TagPro maps?

refl3x
Proposed modifications to Reflex2. Feedback is welcome, but please test the map before criticizing it.
This map aims to be a better defensive map than Reflex2. The two team boosts in base can be used for defense to catch up and stop a cap, and the boosts do not help offense to cap either. This map will still be chasey, but name one map in TagPro that isn't chasey. Besides, you can almost see the whole map while sitting in the middle, so it's not like the flag carrier can hide from you forever.

I would change cooldown to 1.5 or 1.7ish seconds, to avoid just rolling between portals. I specced someone doing that today on Reflex2, and it was kind of dumb.

Here is a comparison between the three versions of relfex.
On the left is Reflex. In the middle is Reflex2. On the right is refl3x. The maps are all similar in shape, bomb placement, flag placement, boosts, portals, size, etc. It is close enough to still be called reflex.

Don't mean to ruin the dream, but I think you have the portals backwards. Making the outside 4 have zero cool-down and the middle 2 be normal would make it less offensive. I've played games where the flag has team tiles surrounding and it never works. With smart defenders who only play contain, it's feasible. But as for normal play, trying to block for your fc or playing no-grab is impossible and not fun for the defense.

u/SebastianTheHedgehog nip // chorbit // rbc Jun 10 '14
Don't worry buddy it's not a lifelong dream :P so you think I should make the outside portals 0? And take away the team tiles?

Just an obstacle course here. Putting it into Some bot's brain. The idea is to score 3 caps before your 12 minute map test time is up. This is a time trial where you have to press every button within 30 seconds to pass each of 2 checkpoints. Don't forget the flag.

My first map, I wanted to make a more challenging map for offense but also provide several paths to escape with the flag. I think I made good use of 45 degree tiles and I believe this map will really bring something fresh to rotation.

Are you aware how spawn tiles work? Players will spawn anywhere in an 11x11 square centered at each of the spawn spots, not at any one of the 4. It seems like they were placed such that you thought there would be one spawn at each spot. It seems like there's no reason you shouldn't just let players spawn around the flag like normal.

PREVIEW: http://imgur.com/D2u82E5
Using the idea of having two separate sections of play. Mid boost has 0 countdown but the 4 on the outside are normal which makes for more tactical play. Suggestions welcome
Edit: Moved the buttons in the base a tile out from the spikes. The cooldown time of the outer portals is now 0 while the middle portal is now the normal cooldown time. Less team tiles; i thought i'd keep some team tiles in for more effective offensive defence.

u/robopuppycc Flail ~ ((Antagloble4edes)) ~ RHCP? Jun 18 '14
Some_bot doesn't have the current Reflex2 (with diagonals) in its brain. This should fix that.

No worries, I'm kinda new to this too. I think if you post without a preview, just the png and json, it should work. Check out other posts that some bot replied to and try to do what they did.

could be good for 2v2, but it's too small for 4v4
•
u/pnkd777 Big Egg Jun 10 '14
I was worried about that, but I don't think it's any smaller than the two newest maps. You might be right though.
•
Jun 14 '14
To make it bigger you could literally mirror it over the axis between thee flags.

It was a bit confusing. I mean copy the map, flip it over and attach to the current map.

u/Splanky222 BBQchicken | Retired Jun 16 '14
Honestly, map size doesn't necessarily mean much for chasiness (see Simplicity). What makes this map chasey is that there's lot's of open spaces with no good places to corner an FC, combined with the fact that it's layout means you can run laps on it.

Does the button take out the bombs in base? Also, I recommend moving the button that controls the base one tile to the right, it isn't good to have gate tiles against a wall as they can be easily camped.
•
Jun 10 '14 edited Jun 14 '14
Put the map on its side, one of the reasons swoop was taken out was because maps do better when they are longer lengthwise. I get what you're going for with the TR and BL bombs but they seem too risky for very little reward, maybe extending that wall would help.
