I'm gonna post all my maps here to share with everyone, i'm still new with mapping and i can't make complicated ones but sometimes simple is better.
Feel Free to comment about them and giving suggestions/feedback, i don't mind criticism.

Also this topic will be use as a Archive of all the maps i created for perservation and to see past proyects that can help anyone in mapping.

(Old)DM-Dimensional
Image

This is the first try making a map, its called Dimensional Cube and is a simple design Deathmatch map.

You fight in 2 areas, one of top surronded by huts and one in the middle that has 4 "special" rooms to enter.

Finally i add some secrets on it, try to find them :cheesegrin:

(Old)CTF-SpacePool

Yep, My Second Map completed, this time a CTF map, 2 teams fight to see who can take control of the Pool that travels in space and have more time to play in the water.

Fun Fact: This map use assets of my first attempt to make a map that ended badly and with alot of unlined shapes and bad rooms(Little Nightmare for OCDs :P).

Secrets? Yep, there is 2, one easy to spot and another one not too easy to find :cheesegrin:

Blue Base

(Old)CTF-Silence

Welcome everyone to the Forest of Silence, this place is infamous for having a lot of battle moments in the past, now Liandri want to use this battlefield to fight the tournament, just becareful participants because anything can happen here.

Your mapping seems pretty abstract. :wink:

DM-Dimensional has some potential ...but is too much stuffed with too many random things.
CTF-Silence is the best looking of those first three ...but the use of the textures looks incoherent.
You mixing up too many styles.

in Dimensional, the idea was to make random things and rooms, like changing between dimensions in the middle of the cube and outside making it like its own area :)

in Silence, there only 2 themes used(city and Nalicastle), used city first but then saw better textures in NaliCastle so i use them instead but in the walls outside and the roofs of the village looked good for me

Whow, did you release different files with the same name to the public? Happy file mismatching then...

I recommend NEVER doing such - by putting map packages on my server I run into difficulties multiple times, because there exist different versions of files with the same name, and there is usually no possibility to decide which one is the "correct" one. Documentation is very rare in this software segment.

Then what about not adding more stuff to the mismatch noise?
If you edit a map put a version number in its name.

Update:

Day 10: After some research of the cube, we discovered that it has some kind of mind after detecting some electricity pulses inside it... We dont know what can happend but for now the cube is calm. - Scientist

Day 20: AHHH, The Cube is vibrating!!!, the cube sent some cylinders to take over the mini cubes nearby. Walls appear in areas nearby and we are concern that this is just the beginning of something big, we dont know what the cube wants.
But for some reason the farest cubes are gatherting together, we can't predict whats gonna happen next - Scientist

Image

FIX Version Changes:
-Added namespace
-Updated the bizzare dimension with walls movement and gravity up for better jumps to exits(looks weird but thats the idea)
-Update Corridors with walls to make areas less open and teleport more safe to passby.
-Changed the NitrogenZone to VacuumZone(no death message but this is the way i wanted players to die)
-Secret Areas and Teleporters Adjusted
-Added Jumpboots in bizzare Area
-Removed extra bookshelf(rectangle) in Mansion area

I'm gonna make some fixes to my first maps in order to improve them, but at the same time, i want to tell a story with this changes, not just make different versions just to change some stuff and done. Nah, when my 2nd version appears, it will have some of the original map with it.
No need to delete the 1st version, Enjoy and Download Both

Update Version
CTF-SpacePool-FIX.rar
SpacePool FIX
(147.87 KiB) Downloaded 106 times
After some fights, the corridors used to flight were destroyed, and no longer can be use, that means our flag/reactor is vulnerable and others can easy attack, atleast the defense turrets are active to protect there, also we got some extra missles to use. - Enginner

The Area near the Pool got closed by windows blocks and it looks stronger that we think, so no problem to keep fighting here, the special area area isn't lost, we still detect it nearby thanks to a tracker we put there. But cant locate its entrance yet, we will keep searching. - Officer

Image

FIX Version Changes:
-Added namespace
-Added External area for RX dogfights
-Added Turrets to help defend the flag plus 2 deemers(for fights or combos)
-Secret Area location adjusted cause of new external area
-Sniper area now has 2 reason to use, defend the base of foot enemies and ???
-Separaction of the Pool and External area

You can forget stupid turrets and other pawns in CTFGame - just look at log file after playing that map, EPIC have never used any such stuff in CTF maps - you might want to take in account some "stock" hints...

I've been downloading these but I haven't tried any of them yet, Diego.

How's the bot-pathing?

Yes, they did add turrets in CTF-High. Total 8 minigun-turrets, 4 in each base. But yes, those turrets do cause log errors.
