I created this thread because this map was in test srv but no thread yet.

The map is fine except one really annoying part:

I would say Novice 3 stars, because there are much bulltes which can fail you if you dont pay attation.

I uploaded it because I was thinking about adding it. But not sure. Also it has weird stuff like "Admin rooms".

Hey,
it would be so awesome if you release this map. It was one of the first ddrace maps I finished and I would love to play it once again on ddnet servers.
Oh, and I dont know if the mapper is known/active, but if not I would do these slight changes to the map (like deleting admin room, maybe replace this annoying part and so on) so it fits better on ddnet servers. You just have to wait a while since I have not that much time at the moment.

Sounds good. Saavik and I liked the map when we randomly discovered it a few days ago.

Hey,
here's the revised version. I changed quite a few things (hope that's ok with you):
  • restructured and cleared out all the layers
  • enhanced the structure of the background quads/layers
  • replaced the arrows with more visible ones
  • enhanced/replaced the switches (were placed in walls or used wrong sometimes etc.)
  • changed that annoying laser part a bit
  • made the start area a bit different
  • created a nice logo with name and mapper
  • removed texts like 'your shotgun pulls another tee to you' (sry if that was wrong, but they were all not that important)
  • added a nohammer to the last few parts of the map to prevent hammerfly
  • removed solo at the end because parts there are kinda faily for total noobs
  • removed all admin and member rooms
  • changed one shotgun part a little bit (removed speedtiles and redesigned the way this one switch works)
  • made other (smaller) changes to some parts
  • changed color of hookthrough tiles because they were not visible enough

Awesome work, Index.

I changed a few things:
  • Hookthrough works at demo at start
  • Finish line and start lines are as thick as they look
  • Dark grey background is in front of tee
  • Dark grey background has no more transparency (but same color), which improves FPS
  • Only hammer is deactivated at last parts, not grenade and shotgun, so you can still help others
and released it on Novice.
