Hey all,

I am publicaly releasing my map creations to everyone. They had only been played on select servers up to this point, but now they are for everyone to enjoy. If you have any questions/comments on them, please e-mail me at: ichebu@nrbattalion.com. Thanks!

You can download the map-pack here (http://www.nrbattalion.com/ichespoon_map-pack.zip). Read on further to see breif descriptions of the 5 maps included, and some pictures. Enjoy!

Here is my first map, It's called Towering Night. There was a first version called Towering Fortress, but I figured it looked a bit cooler at night. Here are some pics:

This is my second map, it's called Spires. It was designed to be played with snipers and rifles only. You, of course, are able to play it with whatever configuration you want. Here are some pics:

This is my third map, called Intersection. It's a pretty straight-foreward map. Here are some pics:

My fourth map is called Toxic Tower. There are a few features in this map. First, there is a teleporter in the center of the tower, on the ground. This will randomly teleport you to 1 of 7 locations. The danger in using the teleporter, is it may teleport you to the tocix chaimber. This room has no escape, but death by fumes. Here are some pics:

My fifth, and certainly not last (but for this pack, it will be) is called Bunker Warfare. This was inspired by the map, bunker warfare from a Rainbow 6 series game. This map features "random" mortars going off in the center area. This makes for some insaine gameplay. Here are some pics:

They actually were on BDS servers, while I was apart of that clan, but not at this point (and I won't go into further detail). Like I said in my post, anyone can host these now. And I hope to get closer to being able to make "realistic" looking maps.

Hi Ya,

I have some bugs....

One being in the map with the teleporter in the middle you cap one of the ground flags and basicly... you win which ruins the game! Please fix asap!

These are my maps bud, plain and simple. Even most of the "BDS" version have my name, as well as redspo0ns, on them. Please don't get confused.

hes probably referencing this post:

Hax (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68969&perpage=15&pagenumber=1)

Sorry for interupting but I don't understand what you guys are so upset about.

From what I can glean from the posts here (although both people are being quite vague), Ichebu made these maps when he was a part of BDS and the maps were played on the BDS servers. Now that he has left, he has released them to the public to use...

I'm pretty sure I remember playing dod_spires on a BDS server and it had both redspoon and Ichebu's name on the wall. So from what I can tell, he didn't steal these maps, he made them himself. They were his maps, not BDS's, and since he is no longer part of the clan, he's just releasing them...

I'm not going to jump to conclusions and say that he is the guy that Doc is refering to in his post about 4 towers, although it seems like a couple other people here already have.

So what is really the issue? He stole these maps and thats why your not playing them? Or, he stole 4 towers and therefore your not hosting any of his maps?

Sorry, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And the people that do know are being very secretive about it. I just hate to see someones name put to shame for something somebody else might have done and no evidence has come out to show that he didn't make these maps which you refuse to host on your servers.

Hey Bunkerking,

I will clarify it as best as I can without dragging the drama into these forums.

The 5 maps he released were made by him while he as apart of my Clan. He has removed our Tag from the maps, and re-released them for all to enjoy.

He is also the creator of the ripoff of my map, dod_4_towers , which he calls dod_four_towers_NR . He says he made it from scratch. I posted that thread while he & I were talking about his version of my map. I just linked it here to help him understand where some of this forums members are getting their reactions from.

As for the "secretive" part that you are seeing, its because we dont want all of the drama spilling into these forums.

I don't know if you have ever made a map, but there are countless hours involved designing, making, testing, etc that go into even the simplest of maps. Most mappers dont like being ripped off, whether its decompiling, or just making a carbon copy of a map (in this case) and then passing it off as your own without some acknowledgement of the original creator.

I hope that helps without causing this to blow up.

so was he the maker of these maps or not???

As i said in my post:

I think that, until the issue regarding the map dod_4_towers and dod_four_towers_NR, is resolved, some server admins will not be using these maps, myself included.

It is quite clear that Doc and [BDS] have been making fun maps for us all for some time, cheers for that Doc and the other [BDS] lads :) I have recently started running a few on our server and they are popular and make a nice change from playing the quality custom maps that our other excellent mappers put so much work and effort into for us.

Till now i have seen any issues of mapping conflicts, being resolved pretty well and amicably here. It sounds like there is some sour history going on here, but in terms of giving respect where respect is due.. that surely isnt too much to ask in any case.

Ichebeu, from the perspective of someone who knows neither of you, nor anything about it, other than what i have read in these two threads, but is a regular here and follows the releases of all maps.. i would urge and advise you to resolve this somehow, amicably and soonest, with Doc. Otherwise there is a risk that your maps will not be picked up by server admins and you may end up with a rep that you may not wish for.

As ever, respect to our mappers who give of their time for us as a community.

Ok I get it now. Thanks for the clarification Doc, I appreciate it. All this talk about BDS has made me want to play on your guys' server more now :-) Haha.

Yeah I was just asking because I have these maps on my server, I will take them off !!! I love BDS I have like 4 of your members on my steam friends list. BDS is a great community. I just wanted to know who made these maps but know this now, They'll be off the HOTT servers.

on a side note, i found this today on FPS Bananna. Seems to be identical to Ichebus Bunkers map....i wonder:

Apparently a little re-texture goes a long way. Man I can't stand this crap.

***EDIT***

I downloaded the CSS map, and interestingly enough there was a .txt file from the Original Creator. Reads alot like Ichebus description:

aim_bunkers
made by: [O²] Laughing Man

This map is actually a remake of a Rainbow Six Rogue Spear map called bunkers. Its pritty simple but game play is very fun. There are going to be a number of versions of this map some of them include...

scouts/knives bunkers
AWP bunkers

and others, if i think of any other good ones

I hope you enjoy the map
