Recently I made a very neat castle-wall texture out of a pic i have found, and decided to make a map with it, to see if its useful.

The result is ctf_Kinfaun (Kinfaun is a small scottish castle which doesnt even look close to the map nor is it surrounded by water, but the name is nice), which turned out as an -imo- quite atmospheric and very fastpaced map.

*Map updated, more sceneries for a more connected look, bouncies fixed. Overview updated again.*

*Overview updated, flag and player spawns marked*

*Bouncies fixed, new entrance to lower way, less jetfuel, new colliders*

Not waypointed yet.

Whats in the middle? Fog?
It looks like a fun map to play :D

The thing in the middle is fog, yeh.

This is a really damn good map.

very nice, i luv it :D
but, could u add something in the middle? maybe some island, or thick fog?
and where are the stat. guns? :)

because I think that stat guns are sucky, I wont add em :P

the middle is fine as is, imo, i want it to be that open, so both ways are equal ;)

Screen updated, flag/player spawns marked.

I really like this! It has a really castle-liek feel to it.

*Hump G_D's leg*

Only one problem, could you please add some supports that make the floating islands look attached? I hope to see this map on seb's pub :D

There's a lot of bouncy polys, most of which are on the bottom middle part.

Please, PLEASE hurry with the waypoints, and fix the bouncyness.

Otherwise great map, love it.
=D

looks amazin, nice texture

Exellent job, g_d!

That is an excellent map, the texture is nice and the basic ideas for this map is really good.

it looks raw in this version but the layout has a potential. there aren't many indoor maps and i like to enter a structure and another mood. fast run then inf_fortress-ish tactic will happen, it must be fun.

there's some umm. texture glares and scenery doesn't have much. plants, junks or something assemblied could be nice for decoration.
poly putting is done by low polygon and i like it. but bouncy ground exists.

Updated:

-> New sceneries for a more connected look
-> most of the bouncies should be gone now

er , don't like it very much :/

Ooo, nice map... I do wish you'd put in stationary guns though, maybe on the roof or something. If you don't like them just uncheck the 'turret guns' box in the options thingee :-P Map does have a unfinished look, there's noplace to hide behind trees or anything... maybe some hanging lights or something that you could camp on with a barret ;)

So you expect us to know why you don't? ;-/

Its a good map alright, but, well, it isn't the best that I've seen from you GD, the main path looks like it could be defended by a single guy spamming with the barret, as well as all the other paths...

I like it a lot. Very nicely done. *get*

Suppose hypothetically that somebody wanted to borrow that texture for a future project at some point. If he asked nicely, would you let him do it?

yes, I would

The fog is a bit weird.

Good job on the texture, it looks good. I find it a bit too bright though.
The layout of this map is plain and it feels empty. I would add giants chains from each sides to the middle part and make that part darker too...
Lots of bumpy polygons on the lower part, but it's not that of a problem since it's all flat. The fog doesn't look good in my opinion, no big deal.
It could be better with some more original sceneries. It doesn't really feel like a castle so far. :P
There's potential though, it's up to you now.
Good job anyway.

Cool. Hard to say if I'll ever actually end up doing it, but glad to know that texture's there for it.

Another update:

- Bouncies fixed, finally
- The bridge is now broken, means another way to access the lower way from the upper side
- 2 bigger colliders added in the upper middle part
- less jetfuel
- Screen updated

After seeing the new update imma download with those added fixes. I was having Maxx's problem with polybugs in the lower portion. *re d/l!*
