Carpal Tunnel Clan

** UPDATE **
I realize this map doesn't have the best layout. Basically, it's four straight paths from one side to the other. It originally was a BR map but then it got bigger and nobody was playing BR anymore so I thought to try it as VCTF. It may suck in that regard, but I think it looks pretty damn nice!

Okay, beta 1 is available here:

The name roughly translates from Arabic to 'Mosque of Death'. Very roughly. Romanized Arabic usually doesn't sound that great for map names.

I took Badasp's idea and opened the flag area up quite a bit. At first I didn't like it, but with a little more tweaking I feel that it's definitely an improvement. So, the screen shots are now a little out of date, but the basics are the same. I'll put it on the pub in a bit.

I'm interested in hearing all input, but I may not have time to implement much right away. I tried to keep the hitscaning to a minimum so there isn't an LG and shock in every weapon locker. There are also no ammo pickups which I may change. But, if you need more ammo, just do what I do: go get killed!

looks like fun.

Look very good Jim can't wait to take it for a spin.

Awesome, can't wait to play it.

I played a beta of this map a while ago on the Bean VCTF server and it looks quite nice. The bases, especially where the flags are located, seem a bit cluttered though. Open that up a bit (or move the flags forward toward the center) and it would work better.

Wow Jim looks realy cool, looking forward to playing it.

And Bean you have a beta VCTF server? I would love to try out the sneak peaks.

It don't usually say this, but the architecture is awesome, especially that dome part of which I am too ignorant to remember the name.

I'm pretty sure badasp is talking about a listen server gambit

Good job Jim. Can't wait to try it out.

Yea, Jim had shown it to me on CTC North about a year ago. I was messing around with it and had asked badasp for ideas... but then I never did anything with it. As the pictures show, it's absolutely gorgeous.

Looks good...

Wish I had map making skills.

I would cuz Ive had three great ideas for maps that I would love to see become reality.

I've always wanted to try my hand at mapping and if I can find my copy of UT to reinstall the editor I might have to try it out.

Jim, that map looks fantastic. It seems like it has a good flow to it and the scale that I can tell from the pics seems pretty good. I can't wait to try it out.
