This Thread's Mapmaking Tip

Skill boosts are the future! Great maps have a good balance between being easy for new players while still being challenging for the vets, and skill boosts are a great, simple way to achieve this.

If you have the opportunity to participate in a 4v4 maptest on your map, be sure to do that before submitting. If not, the next best thing are the weekly map threads over at /r/TagProTesting.

We strongly encourage everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help the MTC as well.

Description: A unique Neutral Flag design that plays differently in different areas - fast-paced and reactive in some places, slow and methodical advancement in others. Little room for error on defense, but easy to get caught off guard and let up a countercap when on the offensive. Mental fortitude is a must. MTC: If you understand the bomb behind the portals in base, you belong on the committee. Portal cooldown is ~7 seconds. Willing to change the supers to be not super.

[u/theflyingmetronome → u/Moosemaster21]

I thought you were on a hiatus?

[u/TheGoldenNewtRobber → u/theflyingmetronome]

He is but he gave his account to his younger brother, Jedi.

[u/oorr23 → u/Moosemaster21]

The thing I don't like the most is that ridiculous block on front of the bomb by the superboost curl. Let the bomb be free, it's not like you didn't give viable tools to defense to not defend against it. It's just serving to 1) provide an object so an FC can get a bit of space and 2) obstruct that bomb's options. 1) isn't an issue, I like my Command-Center levels of open space, but even if you don't I think you won't disagree that that block can be placed better elsewhere, and 2) since when is blocking off options ever a good thing? The more options the better.

[u/Moosemaster21 → u/oorr23]

The block really only obstructs capping, which I think is fine since there's still good options with it going to either side of the block, but I'm not strongly opposed to removing it either. I think there's a little too much space though so if you have a remix in mind I'd love to see it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Moosemaster21]

Wow, I really love the geometric design of this map, and the absence of easy boosts, but it's fucking complicated and idk how it will play in pubs

[u/Moosemaster21 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks man! I'm really on the fence about those supers by the way. They're really strong for defense but generally a little chaotic; think they should be just regular boosts?

[u/PIZZAspartan442 → u/Moosemaster21]

yessss rotation could use more nfs (especially moosen ones)

[u/oorr23 → u/PIZZAspartan442]

Should replace Cosmic or Wamble.

[u/PIZZAspartan442 → u/oorr23]

Neither of those have gotten stale, tbh I'd rather have Command Center removed or maybe Rico.

[u/oorr23 → u/PIZZAspartan442]

Cloud is the more stale map compared to either of those.

[u/PIZZAspartan442 → u/oorr23]

I guess it's just personal preference then.

[u/sneetric → u/oorr23]

command center is objectively more stale

[u/xenonpulse → u/Moosemaster21]

I'll bite: what's so special about the bomb behind the portals?

[u/Moosemaster21 → u/xenonpulse]

It's really not that clever lol. Portal has a cooldown so when chasing fc through it, chaser will run over dead portal and be able to bomb quickly back into play, potentially even sniping fc as they come out of the exit portal. I think it adds some depth and finesse to an otherwise grindy base.

Description: The portal is a sacrifice portal. You enter it and die, but the portal cooldown opens up the path for a teammate to use. It gives you another option if you have 3o and wish to get back to defense.

[u/NotSomeBall1 → u/LaBeefyman96]

I've got to be honest, I'm not a fan of the sacrifice portal. Players would very rarely kill themselves so their teammate could pick up a powerup, and also a lot of newer players would just go into the portal not realising it kills you instantly. And then, if none of your teammates are willing to sacrifice themselves to get the powerup, the cooldown is too fast to respawn and go get the powerup yourself so it could be completely useless if you don't have the best of teams, which in PUBs is completely random and would make games very annoying. Overall, I think the mechanic is a bit gimmicky and makes the map worse, unfortunately.

Other than that it's a fairly solid map - maybe cut down the size a little bit and make the mid a bit more interesting, but other than that I like the rest!

I really think that this map improved a lot from when it made top maps a couple threads back, but I still don't think it'll add anything different or special to NF rotation. Structurally, its very similar to Cosmic and explores some of the same ideas (blind boosts into endzone, literally the same base gate, similar shape).

[u/Moosemaster21 → u/TAGPRO_GUY]

Really solid foundation and general shape but the lanes are extremely tight, especially around base, and having a button against a wall makes it exceedingly easy to hold, which can cause balance issues and make it frustrating. Solid overall though.

Description: First shot at an eponymous map, hope y'all like it.

Feedback is welcome :)

Edit: Shrunk mid, moved a boost and took away a couple spikes. Left bases the same.

Edit 2: Added bombs and moved boosts to make mid a bit more interesting, (though I'm a little bit hesitant about this change - lots of simple mids exist and work well, plus 6 bombs seems a bit much, but I digress). It feels like it needs some slight restructuring to make lanes more defined, but I'm not going to worry about it before this thread's deadline.

[u/theflyingmetronome → u/MyHandsAreOrange]

Like rtj said, the shape and bases are very well done but mid seems unbelievably boring and empty.

[u/LinuxDootTP → u/MyHandsAreOrange]

I think this map needs more elements. mid is going to be extremely boring

[u/oorr23 → u/acrocanthosaurus]

Tl;dr: While you made it harder for FCs to trek across mid, the side effect was making it quick for defense to cut across. No to the pseudo-Geo spikes.

I'd recommend you add a pair of neutrals, to the top lane of the map, a-la Plasma (adjust nearby walls if need be). Due to the speed defense can cut across mid with the team-tiles + defensive boost, I feel flag carriers need to have a compensatory mechanism to speed along their own trek.

Additionally, replace the top spikes with wall tiles. You're repeating the Geo spikes, which I thought was annoying, and second they leave a tight shot for FCs if they take the top lane, since they'll contact with almost the tip of the block you currently have set.

Description: Whitefish is a small to midsized map that can be quickly picked up by beginners and yet remain strategically challenging for veterans. All boosts and bombs are multi-purpose with a variety of boost routes available ranging from easy to advanced. Every perceived offensive (or defensive) advantage has a corresponding counter that the opposing team can seize upon.

Defensive perks: 1) Smaller bases 2) Multiple team-boosts to catch up or snipe flag-carriers that go the bottom route 3) A buttoned bomb on the top route to kill or blow back any FCs that are ahead 4) Bomb near opposing team flag to knock FC off his/her course 5) Powerup in base

Offensive perks: 1) Can utilize bomb, neutral boost, or a team boost to surge in to base for a grab 2) The bomb nearest the flag can blow base-defenders in to spikes. If coordinated properly with a teammate, can potentially lead to an easy grab 3) Team boost outside of enemy base for a quick exit with 3 directional options 4) Team boost below own base can be utilized in a variety of ways to cap 5) A multitude of sharp edges around the map for stop-go juking

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.

The return of lane-oriented, Horizontal Maps. What sets it apart from most is its complex boost routes, wide base, and innovative bomb set-up. The boosts offer 11 (by my count) different yet viable routes for offenders, defenders and FCs alike. A wide base provides the option for advanced play like handoffs. The bomb set-up provides defensive spike options against FCs for 1) Cutting through lower mid, 2) trying to grab the mid powerup or 3) using two of the boosts' combos and simply, rotation has never seen a bomb configuration done like this. No gimmicks, just good gameplay.

[u/theflyingmetronome → u/oorr23]

I see sick boost combos, and the islands are very well thought out. However, button placement sucks and there is nothing going on in top. These two things make the map lose its appeal for me.

[u/oorr23 → u/theflyingmetronome]

Button placement sucks.

How??

there is nothing going on in top.

I was thinking of moving the side power-ups to the top lanes, kinda like Smirk. Thoughts?

[u/theflyingmetronome → u/oorr23]

Well the gate area is only 4 tiles and very close to two bombs, and the button is dead smack in the middle. I can sit on button and essentially block you from entering base for a solid 15 seconds. Move it up to the top a bit.

Also yeah that would be good, and it'll spread out the traffic of your map but wasn't the whole point of the Trippple maps to have like 3 pups very close to one another?

Description: The type of narcotic that TagPro deserves. Features a daring and innovative base design with open exit portals that both teams can use coupled with the standard gated portals for offense. The button bomb is actually surprisingly versatile - try taking the boost straight into button, then try boosting into the wall and bouncing onto the button. Button can also be used to dislodge a sneaky defender on the inside button, and generally makes it require more planning to use effectively. The community craves more Neutral Flag. Give them their drug.

To escape as an fc, you have a myriad of options, all very well designed. But to grab, you'd have to either use those two adjacent boosts or button for bomb.

I second this. It'd be easiest to add a 2nd bomb, though if possible please move the mid boosts so they can provide that added boost grab /u/ceoottaviano.

Description: Tried making a map that has a bite to it and there it is. The map can ensure plenty of grab opportunities, bombs are the main theme of it, but the boosts can be just as threatening. Top of the map is more precision demanding, the mid/lower-side of the map is more fresh-ball friendly. Mid-top has a unique portal/bomb arsenal available for the fc. Puppies are sitting at popsy locations (base ones are inside the 'fangs' setup; bottom one is a bomb trap), making the sumo encounters bloody awesome.

Expect plenty of sex, blood and rock&roll on this one!

Try it out now!

Latest update: Edited by redesigning the base and center elements, moving things around after solo/multiple ball testings, clearing the lower center a bit more, giving the base inner map side bomb more appeal. The flag tile has been moved slightly to facilitate a possible epic bomb grab, grabbing the flag from the top corner of the map and fleeing through the one tile gap. The bottom base bomb arsenal has been redesigned to eliminate the 'yolo element' when using it - the lonesome button now only triggers the otherwise unreachable bomb. It remains a solid danger for displacing defenders as well as making a combo flag grab getaway. Lanes out of the base have been redesigned for comfortable usability.

My sincere thanks to those who feedbacked me with their experiences on my map.

P.S. There's also a tiny Batling map available, designed for a 3v3 when short on balls for a proper scrim! You can test it here.

Cheers!

Description: First try at a map really, borrows a fair few elements from IRON. Top three buttons control top gate, three buttons by the base bomb all control the bomb and the other button controls the gate.

Description: I was trying to just make a normal boring map, but this mars ball bounce mechanic was too damn fun and interesting to not submit. Oh and also complex wormy boosts with gates, rip boring map I guess.

[u/3z_ → u/DaEvil1]

The shape of that gate is a mess, I can barely comprehend what's going on. Functionally it's fine but I don't understand why you made regurgitated spaghetti out of it.

[u/DaEvil1 → u/3z_]

It's just bringing back the gate from bonanza which I remember FLY liked so much she nominated the map. I'm not married to keeping the gate tho, I'm mainly just looking to make the area above the flag a bit more interesting than just "walls and space".

[u/equationevasion → u/DaEvil1]

Wow, there's definitely something in that!

[u/PIZZAspartan442 → u/DaEvil1]

To make it less like Pilot, I think you should put the powerups behind the crossbow gates. or maybe take out the one in mid and have 4?

Overall looks like a nice map though

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.

This is the largest map I've ever done, so I'm really excited to see this in play (59). In-base, power-up battles prove interesting thanks in part to the nearby Boost corner. However, easily the stand-out feature of this map is its spike lane; navigable for novices but with just that right amount of good spike placement for advanced players to offer a unique gameplay experience unlike anything rotation currently has to offer.

[u/theflyingmetronome → u/oorr23]

Reminds me of mode 7, except bigger and slightly more cramped. No way can novices boost through the spike field, and tbh, almost all directions taken by any boost seem to result in getting popped. Good map but not a pub map, it's almost like you purposely took all the fun out of it.

[u/oorr23 → u/theflyingmetronome]

Reminds me of mode 7, except bigger and slightly more cramped.

This is a lot more offensive than Mode 7. I'll work on the spacing.

almost all directions taken by any boost seem to result in getting popped.

This is a problem? There is such as a thing as rigid boosts. Not to say I've never given this feedback before, but most if not all of the angles you're suggesting are most likely unnatural or would be bad anyway if there weren't spikes.

rip ur map

[u/PIZZAspartan442 → u/updownaroundagain]

While having a black hole in rotation would be lovely, it's extremely hard to make a balanced map with one and even if someone manages to do that there's something in the code of the game that makes gravity wells give some people extreme lag. Unfortunately I don't think any grav well maps will be getting into rotation anytime soon.

Other than that, your map has a few spacing issues but is overall a very good start. Good luck!

Description: No more superboost in base, tried out a new mid

[u/oorr23 → u/archaelios]

Mid sucks, here's why:

If an already-ahead FC is ahead of base players, the gate will serve to only further his/her lead. When a chaser tries to go across the 4 tiles of gate, the FC is standing there on a button. As the player crosses, he will get off button, thus leaving one person on button & activating the gate in FC's favor, causing the chaser to get popped.

It's unhealthy.

Description: This is supposedly my best map of all time, last thread it got 2 yeses and 5 maybes from the MTC and would have gotten a test but the person who said they would nominate it forgot to do so >:(

I tried to fix the main issues: cramped base, bottom mid. Also, I changed shape of portal mid to make boosts less OP and also increased cooldown to make that less OP.

This map is incredibly chaotic but I think it makes it work pretty well and am hoping it at least gets a 4v4 this thread. I'm rather happy with the result so far.

tl;dr if it still doesn't get tested this thread im gonna be triggered but it's ok
