Hi there,

some time ago I experimented with the possibilities of a "tactical" game mode or mod, and as a test map I slapped together a quick knockoff of Counter-Strike's de_dust. I couldn't quite get a handle on how to approach implementing the "tactical" mod, but now (many months later) I found some time to bring the map into a semi-presentable form:










Things are obviously still pretty raw and item placement is mostly restricted to the spawn areas (think CS's buy zones). It's a CTF map and I added one spider vehicle for each team. Should provide some incentive to pick up the one central rocket launcher

Update:

• Added simple roof structures to avoid artifacts when laserjumping
  
• Redistributed player spawns inside the bases a bit

Somehow there are a few textures missing

Maybe get Xonotic.

This awesome, and its will bring many new people for sure, I will test tommrew and tell my full opinion

This is outstanding!

What would be really slick is if we could rig up team-designated spawns for CA and TDM. AFAIK, that's not possible atm though :/

Nice job getting the light from the skybox on the rocket launcher

The only issue I've found so far is the ability to see the skybox through the tops of the walls if you laser.

Overall, cool.

Thanks for the positive feedback so far (too bad no server seems to have the map in rotation, though). I'm aware of the "see through roofs" problem when laserjumping, I guess I'll have to put some actual roof construction onto some of the buildings (still pondering what texture would work). I also received some feedback that I should distribute the spawn points a bit more, so there's some progress to be had there as well

Released revision 2. See first post.

Server admins, please update. Then again it appears that only one server has this map in rotation (and then not an "official" version)

It's getting some play, though, and that's nice

Doesn't seem to want to be listed in the map selection on my server.

I have it in

.xonotic/data/duster-r2.pk3
public_html/maps/duster-r2.pk3
have duster-r2 in the map list in server.cfg

Sorry, no idea on server configuration (although the file locations seem decent). Some server guru here?

Hi

I found another version of hte map http://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild-bsp/ and this one is working.

Hmm... in this case I would love someone knowledgeable in the field to comment what my packaged version does wrong.

The r2 build is working fine on ESK, it shows in the stats too.

Whats the chance of getting more vehicles on the map? Maybe 4-6 crabs?

Not sure. Are the two crabs that are already there useful? The map itself isn't exactly big, so I have no real idea how many vehicles the map can take.

Mostly just for fun...
