maps for urt arent made for that size bud.24-32 is overloaded and becomes a cluster fuk

You can try playing ut_canyon, its big enough for 32 players and the spawns are a fair distance from the flag.

(Shameless map pimping I know )

i really hate maps, where spawn equals flag spot. this is just plain silly imo.

This is level design forum, and was posting for someone who would want to map design for 24-32. It's only the map design and spawning that makes it cluster fukd.

I love playing in large servers and generally don't even like playing unless its 16 plus ppl.

Haven't played that one with lots of ppl, I will give it a try today. Thz

I made a map exactly like that, it was the first version of ut_suburb.

Which led to these two scenarios.

(a) Nobody played it because the spawns were so far away from the flags, about 12-15 seconds away from the flags, with the flags pretty far apart. Too bad the idea made perfect sense on paper.

Sooo.

(b) I changed this for ut_suburb2, i put the spawns roughtly 6-8 seconds away from the flags. And moved the flags closer together by about 5 seconds. And what do ya know? It ended up on the TWL CTF League map list.



Placing the spawns far away from the flag like that hasn't been demonstrated to me to work, sorry =)

Also, 16 player max CTF maps (in size) are the norm, go try to play a map like intermodal which CAN support 30 players. sure, it's fun for the first 20 mins, but I've played games on that where there wasn't a single cap after 2 hours, because the level was sooo damn big.

If you want to build a level like that, then I wish you luck with it =) I just don't think the majority of Urban Terror players will play on it if it's too hard to cap, and thats exactly how scenario (a) panned out.

I remember literally HOURS of fun on the FSK405 server on Intermodal playing CTF. Most of the people stayed on for like 4-5 hours but noone complained. A very small number of people logged on, played for 20 or so minutes then tried to get a map change, when it failed they left but the vast majority stayed on and had fun the whole time. We even made a TALL tower that day with the two flag carriers standing on top....at least till the guy at the very bottom got bored and exploded himself with a grenade....BOOM!
