[DM/TDM/CA] SeaForts (7 Towers)

Out in the fading light, seven steel forts stand guard above a restless sea.
Seaforts is a large-scale map built for those who crave atmosphere, vertical combat, and tactical experimentation.

This is not your usual corridor fragfest. The water rises and falls with a noticeable current that can push you off course if you don’t pay attention. Turrets can be hacked to fight for you, while two flak turrets scan the sky and neutralize rockets and other projectiles. Jetpacks and hooks let you move freely between the towering outposts. Somewhere within the depths, secret teleporters await.

Inside the forts you’ll find intense close-quarters combat, with layouts loosely modeled after the real Maunsell interiors. Corners hide items, enemies, and surprises. Outside, the open space invites long-range sniper duels between towers, creating a rhythm of tension and release.

If you usually play vanilla deathmatch and want to explore something different without leaving your comfort zone, this map offers a mix of classic flow and dynamic features to keep things fresh.

Feedback welcome! Have fun!

Nice, I like the visuals on this map and the unusual theme.

Nice attention to detail with the water current and opacity.
I like the blooming effect of the lights; it reminds me a bit of the lighting in Unreal Tournament.
I also recognised a piece of Xoylent in the water, did it crash there after being deorbited? 

The interior of the platforms seems a bit cramped, but I guess most of the action takes place outside anyway.

Btw, you may not have noticed if you are using Xonotic 0.8.6, but with Xonotic autobuild (and 0.9 in the future) there are warnings about misplaced entities when loading the map:

That said, no entity seems to be missing, even those marked as 'COULD NOT FIX'. However it could occur in certain cases AFAIK.

On NetRadiant with the latest entities definitions, the problem is visible:
   
(The size of most entities in NetRadiant now accurately matches their bounding box in the game)

There's also an error related to the fog settings, but it seems to work as intended so I have no clue what's happening there.

Good work overall, must be fun in DeathMatches  

The map design looks really great A+++

Thank you for your kind words (Also thank you too, Baker )
I don't know how a part of xoylent ended up in there haha
Yeah it's a little cramped but with CS tactics like shotgun & A-D strafing it can be quite fun IMO.

Also thanks for reporting the issues. I place those entities with roughly the modelsize in mind. So I don't mind the BBOX being partially inside a wall as long as enough sticks out to make you able to comfortably reach it while not visibly being stuck in a wall.
Seems like a guard dog to me that barks too soon.

The fog also works as intended for me.
