Assault CTF maps
I frequently get requests to edit MonsterHunt maps into Deathmatch maps, likely as most of MH is large and expansive and setup for protracted battles with monsters... naturally some think these are ideal areas for DM maps. They're not wrong either, though much of that involves altering the pathing and spreading out the spawnpoints so not everyone pops up in 1 general area of the map as Team Red tends to do when hunting monsters...
...and I don't path or move spawnpoints, my skills lay in other areas.
The MH map Kaal made that I've made into a scary number of variants is a 1-sided sorta thing. A base which monsters attack from one side. On a number of occasions Hook wanted to know if I could edit that to make identical bases on either side for a Deathmatch, to be used as a staging area for 2 teams with his PirateDeemer as the primary weapon for all. Sounded great but I didn't know how to do that. Although I recalled hearing that the initial MH that Kaal made had started as a CTF map.
Took a lot of work but I eventually got Kaal to send me a copy... and I think I sent that to Hook along with telling him I was going to tinker with it.
I think I did but I'm not sure.
Anywho, I edited the initial CTF of that map to make it a little nicer looking, removed some background elements common to it that were pointless... but unlike the MH version which had a badly angled sky, this one was just too boxy and I didn't see how I could do much of anything with that...
...at first...
...when I had an epiphany!
Animated backgrounds might make the sky seem less boxy, and that did work. Though if you really look for it you can still see the box. Animations didn't remotely slow down gameplay, so that seemed to work just fine. I made 2 variants, one being about the same as the original except for the animations which I used for the UTDMW and another I went with a more snowy theme for the UTDMT.
These are all 3 maps... and all Hook would need to do (if my memory were incorrect) would be to rename any from CTF to DM.
Usual Suspects:
.u - /system
.unr - /maps
.png - these may at some point self-destruct
Enjoy!
