Title: What was the name of this map and can we bring it back?
Post by: Sir_Carealot on August 20, 2014, 05:31:13 pm

I have spent the last 15min trying to remember and draw as detailed a description as possible of a map I thought was a lot of fun in siege.. problem is I don't remember the name and it was quite some time ago. Couldn't find it in the map rotation thread either.
Here goes:

What was the name of this map and can we bring it back?

Most of the battle took place in the courtyard and I remember people using construction material to get to the flag on the far left on the wall which made the map a bit unbalanced because it was meant as an access point for def.only..

I remember this map and it was awesome. I loved it. As well as the map with the castle at the top of the hill with 2 ladders in front and 1 or 2 at the side. I miss these two.

It was ok, but the left side exploit made it far too one sided.
A pic I have of it from Jan 2013:

I remember this map too, and this exploit could be easily fixed without blocking the way for defenders.. (invisible walls have one side walkable) :idea:
It's Anor Stronghold mapped by Iceman1779 (http://forum.melee.org/scene-editing/siege-map-submissions-for-official-servers/msg561265/#msg561265 (http://forum.melee.org/scene-editing/siege-map-submissions-for-official-servers/msg561265/#msg561265)).

Completely forgot about this map, because it's no longer in the game, so i haven't checked it when going through the unused maps. Hmmm...i could see this one getting a little fix.

Could also be fixed with increasing the height from where the def. jumps down so a con. material won't be enough?
I loved this map and it is one that I really enjoyed at the start of my c-rpg career, If you could see it fixed I'll be your bitch now and forever.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to help!

Sadly its not that easy since players can also place siege shields and glitch from side on shield to reach their goal..
You always have to think about glitchers  :?

It's back, but there is no way for defenders to access the gatehouse atm, since the passageway in my screenshot (the one that was exploitable) was removed, and it was the only such way.
Also it seems unbalanced, every time ive seen it it's finished 3-0 for defenders.

Had some free time to kill, so I fixed it.
Mega Link (https://mega.co.nz/#!hgIiBThI!Et39h5Nnr9VyIhTPar-CSvR-WyD5UZBfYvu2O8gkH3o)

(click to show/hide)

-Added a way for defenders to retake the gatehouse, simply a set of stairs to the right side battlements (one way trip, as newly spawned attackers climbing the siege tower will trap defenders in the gatehouse)
-Added (using existing, useless props) a blockade to stop players running up against the map edge near the flag
-Added some barrier_box to the stairs leading to the gatehouse (imparting collision to some of the beams at player level)
-Added some barriers to the primary route to flag (to prevent players getting stuck between the props and the wall in two places)
-Modified some barrels on the primary route to flag (clipping with ground, the wall, each other)
-Modified a barrier near the defenders spawn to provide better coverage
-Modified some marrows
-Moved the jousting rail to be more central to the colored dirt
-Moved an entire row of houses further into the ground to cover up some ugly stairs
-Moved some defenders entry points around (mainly out of areas where they can't spawn anyway, as they are outside the map border (if this has buggered spawns, I'll repair it))
-Moved a broom
-Minor terrain editing
-Removed two light_night props around the burning siegetower (if it looks bad at night, I'll add them back)
-Removed light_night and torch_night props from areas players can't see/go
-Removed some misc props in places players never go
-Rotated a building near the passage to  hide some ugly roof clipping
-Rotated some barrels so they aren't all facing the same direction
-Scaled the sally doors uniformly to fit the passage
