bigbox (ctf map) - Ripe_Robin59(Earl_Of_Fragging) - 08-29-2026
Hello everyone! I have made a map. It is a 2-team ctf map with a central box with two floating platforms which have the flags. The link for it is here: https://github.com/EarlOfFragging/bigbox-map-for-xonotic-
Constructive criticism is welcome as this is literally my 2nd map ever lol.
RE: bigbox (ctf map) - Mario - 08-29-2026
Nice work taking up the challenge that is mapping!
I do have some notes:
- Some screenshots in the description to show off the map would help!
- Along with this, a 512x512 screenshot of the map titled bigbox.jpg placed next to the .bsp will allow players to see a preview of the map when voting for it
- Please don't put the map in a custom/ directory, just maps/ is fine! That'll let you see it in the menu and make CTF actually playable
- You should version your map so you can make future revisions, e.g. bigbox_v1r1.pk3
- The .bak and .autosave.map files can safely be excluded, they're just compiler artifacts
Other than that, it's a pretty solid effort for a second map - I can see this working quite well in InstaGib!
