Title: How to play CTF on the maps? (Is it possible?)
Post by: JRock on 2004-02-05, 22:26
I'm curious how to play CTF on some of the maps available for Generations Arena. Is it necessary to have a separate map file for a CTF version to work or something?

Reason I ask is I just loaded the map "The Dark Zone - Pro remix" and had flashbacks of fun CTF matches way-back-when on that map. I loaded it up with the gametype as CTF but there weren't any flags I could find. Did I just do something wrong or is CTF not really yet implimented in GA?

I can't wait to play CTF on classic Q1 maps! =)

Now if only the bots knew to move over to the teleporter to get out of the bottom trapdoor area on that map... lol. Guess they weren't waypointed to it.

The map has to include CTF entities to work as a CTF map. That version of the Dark Zone doesn't have CTF entities (such as flags).

GenArena has CTF capabilities, just that map is not a CTF map.

We're also planning on releasing a CTF mappack in the near future!

Ah okay. A CTF mappack would be awesome! Especially if it has lots of Q1 maps! ;)  :lol:

WIzard's Manse, McKinley, and quite a few other QWCTF maps are in.

Cool! I wish there was some way I could help. The last FPS game I edited maps for was probably Quake2 or Half-Life. They've become a lot more complicated since then. =p
I'm no good at modeling or coding either.  :sob:

Just help spread the word.

Back up my posts on the shack. I've noticed that I'm having a hard time getting the ball rolling. Another person saying how great it is would really help out. ;)

Link me to some of them as I don't read the Shack much anymore. I'd gladly put in a good word for you guys.

CTF maps? Gotta include "Stronghold Opposition" in there!
