Found one of my old BSPs...

Thanks to BTGII, I've finally gotten one of my old maps back: NoobFest Arena.

Basically, it's a giant (5-mile-long) arena. It's entirely empty and can be filled with scenery and vehicles and such for almost any purpose.

In terms of features, it has two animated signs (one displaying the classic dancing Spartan GIF animation, the other showing an intro video for what it was originally built for - a sort of unfair tagging contest), two counting signs (which are manually triggered by standing at the respective end of a viewing box), and two rotating strips for advertisements (because this was for a competition, and there were sponsors).

Anyway, the competition never happened, and the map was eventually lost, but it was always one of the most interesting maps I'd ever made. Since I got it back, I'd like to put it to use. I'm going to be retagging it and replacing textures, but I want to know what I should put in the initial release.

I'll post more information (like a top-down view so you can tell me where to put rocks or other fancy scenery, vehicles, etc.) in a bit.

I have an old video of the first version of the animated sign here (the final has all the frames and looks much better).

Uh, so its basically an open map?

*boner*

With better textures slapped on, it'll be a fun map.
Will it be OpenSource?

Really, this is the point. The additional equipment and scripts will also be available, as well as my redone BSP source files (which I need to extract from the tags...).

instead of BG mods there will now be "Noobfest arena" mods... awesome.

Good times at that old map..

I lawled looking at the picture. half looks really fake and horrid (bottom half) and top half looks almost realistic and good (top half).

Seem like an interesting idea of this thing you call open source on this website.

Lol indeed. :downs:

Wasn't this map mostly created to test out and battle with the Draco's? I remember the spawning area, and then getting in the hogs and driving on the bottom section. Also awesome scrolling ads. :iamafag:

Edit: Ha ha ha, Nice Entropy advertisements. When's that coming out? :realsmug:
