32in24-17 - 3-Way CTF

[Shaikoten]

 

On your left, a red marine. On your right, a blue. In the middle, there you are. Green and ready to go. It's time for a THREE WAY, BABY.

 

Welcome to 32in24-17, 3-Way CTF. At the behest of the CTF community, I was asked to run a 32in24 in order to kickstart the 3-Way CTF Game Mode. A few old examples of this style of map exist, but they were mainly untested and janky. That's what YEDS is here for. It's time to commit mapping science.

 

Also making its debut in this 32in24 session is a community project plan. Follow the link below to see the status of the project, get important download links, information on textures and maps, and due dates for submissions and events. If this event is successful I will gladly share the template with anyone else in the community who wants to use it in their own projects!

 

PROJECT PLAN: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I8Lc01h7joLMhhuho_gXfJ12Vij1rr2_M3Vl5CSUgQY/edit?usp=sharing

 

============================================================

What is 32in24 for those who have never heard of it?

 

We make 32 Doom 2 maps in 24 hours. We get together, have a good time, and compile them. Most of the time there are more than 32 maps too. Any mapper can contribute and learn. Don't be shy. These are speed maps, and the process is designed to give you feedback and allow you to grow and progress in your skills.

 

This is the seventeenth numbered iteration in the series, and we've hosted other events as well. Anyone can feel free to join us on Discord at https://discord.gg/ZQ4k3ea where the mappers chat about their process.

============================================================

 

THE RULES

 

- Mappers will have 24 hours to make and submit any number of 3-way CTF maps
- A second mapping session will be held one week from the original mapping date to refine maps after playtesting
- The only resources you can use for textures and flats in the game are those present in doom2.wad and otex.wad https://doom.ukiro.com/otex-downloads/  plus the supplemental textures we will provide in otex_32-17extras_v1.wad https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nvipHwiylIp8fiED6mgbMYwD-Far-YJM  Most of these textures are placeholders made by Wartorn that ukiro may revisit for the core otex release.
- All completed maps should be posted in this thread with a URL, the map's name (feel free to be silly) and the music desired linked. Make sure all maps play on MAP01, and link the midi file separate from the wad, makes the compiler's life easier.
- Maps must work for ZDaemon and Zandronum 3-Way CTF Game modes. Hexen Format is Fine
- Maps should be symmetrical and in almost all cases, bases should be rotated 120 degrees.
- The team colors in 3-Way CTF are Red, Blue, and Green
- 3-Way CTF is targeted for 2v2v2 in competitive games, balance accordingly.
- Dew has created a more detailed 3-way CTF mapping guide linked here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VNTEIR747ovF2CJfS1VzSX8Ar8G9jMbzIPHheoK0TdY/edit
- The following wad is some older 3-way CTF maps for inspiration: http://servers.doom2.eu/zandronum/download.php?file=3wayctf-b4.wad - examples of maps that work well are 00, 04, 05, 09, 12, 18

- Recommended mapping client is GZDoomBuilder, as the recent versions have grid rotation which will allow you to leverage 120 degree rotation more efficiently. https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdbbf/

- To find Three Color Texture Sets look at the Resources tab of the Project Plan. Wartorn put this together and it's awesome and should make your mapping life easier.

- Have fun!

Wah, I quickly formatted the rule document because it was editable publicly and copypasted from notepad.

- Maps must work for ZDaemon and Zandronum 3-Way CTF Game modes. It's a unified standard

 

To elaborate, Zdoom Doom in Hexen format should be fine.

Have a janky first posted map which is a big old FU to Dew's guide

I should conveniently share, then, that Volte on SomethingAwful revealed they recently were tweaking some DoomBuilder forks to allow you to reorient the grid. I'll let the original post do the talking:

 

Quote

I was working on a Doom 2 map this morning and became frustrated with trying to work on detail in a room that's not aligned to the X and Y axes. So I spent most of the day hacking up GZDoomBuilder-Bugfix a little bit to let me align the grid to an arbitrarily rotated or translated coordinate space. Demo:

[There was an embedded WebM here showing it in action; have a link directly to it instead. -SH]

My fork is here: https://github.com/volte/GZDoom-Builder-Bugfix (rotation branch)
I was also asked to implement it for Doom Builder X: https://github.com/volte/doombuilderx

I made pull requests for each.

(Original post, if you have an SA account or if the paywall is currently down)

 

I should note that only the DBX Github linked has a release. I don't know if it has the rotation feature built-in yet or not; might do.

 

EDIT: I see this was already mentioned in the OP! Well, shame on me for missing it then.

Zdoom Doom in Hexen format maps can use ACS to fix flat alignments in sectors of the map that are rotated off grid.

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Sector_SetRotation

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Sector_SetFloorPanning

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Sector_SetCeilingPanning

 

Example script:

#include "zcommon.acs"

Script 1 OPEN
{
    int xoffset, yoffset;

    //Blue base
    xoffset = 123;
    yoffset = 159;
    Sector_SetRotation(10, 120, 120);
    Sector_SetFloorPanning(10, xoffset, 0, yoffset, 0);
    Sector_SetCeilingPanning(10, xoffset, 0, yoffset, 0);

    //Green base
    xoffset = 131;
    yoffset = 120;
    Sector_SetRotation(20, 240, 240);
    Sector_SetFloorPanning(20, xoffset, 0, yoffset, 0);
    Sector_SetCeilingPanning(20, xoffset, 0, yoffset, 0);
}

And you can use a script like this to figure out the right values in-game:

//Script for testing offsets in-game using console
//puke 666 <tag> <x-offset> <y-offset>
Script 666 (int tag, int xoff, int yoff)
{
    Sector_SetFloorPanning(tag, xoff, 0, yoff, 0);
    Sector_SetCeilingPanning(tag, xoff, 0, yoff, 0);
}

I've never played CTF 3-way before but I took a stab at doing a quick mixed design layout. Still untextured mostly, no item placement yet. Player starts are the spawn locations, and coloured torches are the flag locations. I have no idea if it's any good, let me know!

So, seems I won't be able to finish this map, so I'm leaving this here, if someone else wants to finish this or rebuild or transform  into something bearable to play, they are free to use this map. Midi, player starts and few textures(needs resource pack) are included in zip.

I'm feeling a bit iffy on this one tbh. Detailing in particular needs to be way better to differentiate bases, but I guess that'll come at a later point; I just wanted to block out a layout. (Also I'm not sure if jumping is allowed; I'll have to nix the BFG if it isn't.)

*edit*

 

Added music and sky choices.  By the way I should note, these are extremely untested and minimally detailed.  Unfortunately I got a late start; there's about 6 hours of work between all 3 of these maps.

 

*edit2*

 

Did some better detail work on Yoo Hoo Wrecking Crew + fixed a jumping exploit.  Did a tiny bit of detail work on Butt Scratcher Deluxe and tried to give each base more visual differences besides just color.  And added some better base distinctions to Swirly-o-tron and fixed the sky horizon.  Screenshots and download links have been updated.

It's a triforce, IDIOT

[bonnie]

after recovering and finding that i now had years to finish the map, i took some extra time to work on it and get some prettiness in there

i'm fairly certain my unique design will shape the landscape of 3 CTF doom maps for decades to come

please clap

since i have no idea how 3ctf is played, i'll have to wait to see or experience some gameplay to know what steps to take to fix my mess

however i'm certain that my tiny, cramped, 24 unit tall stair bases are excellently designed

What, there's a 3 way CTF in Doom now, when did that happen?
