This is the most basic hunk'o'crap I've ever done. Thanks to whoever dscovered that overlaying multiple polys could make a huge bounce, I decided to create the Octagon...an eight sided ring of death in which many soldats bounce but only one comes out alive. All polys will launch you. What can I say...I wanted to get something out there before the idea gets milked too much. Not meant to be pretty, meant to be functional. And it functions as a chaotic octagon of death.

The specs:
Supports DM, TM, Rambo, and pointmatch
No need for waypoints...they wouldn't be possible anyhoo
Good for 2-14 players, maybe more

Whenever someone comes up with some nifty new feature, people start making these pointless, blank, ugly maps that don't have anything else to interest people except that feature. Why not make a _real_ map using jumppads, like avarax did.

Sorreh, i liked your other maps. :|

This map is real (could it be a fake or something?) and has a point...to be audaciously bouncy. Not tryin' to be an ass, but there's no need to tell me how crappy my hunk'o'crap looks. :/ Trust me...if you liked my other maps, you'll like my Great Wall idea because I have little interest, if none at all, in making jump maps until some sort of jump pad is created. I disappear into a poly glitch every ten seconds or so in the_real_map by Avarax.

By real, i guess i mean something with noticeable shading, some scenery, and something more than 1 simple room. And preferably something that has taken over 5 minutes to do. I mean, why bother releasin something like that?

By some strange reason EVERYONE who connected to my server with this map, (was) disconnected after a second.

Yeah...the only thing I can think of is that there are over 200, maybe 300+ polys in that little map..maybe it's causing some sort of problem? I could always (gasp) make a second release and pretty the map up a bit while fixing that problem.

Did you get any error message, like WMV for example?

The Geologist
