Ladies and gentleman, I submitt for your enjoyment, after 4 months of painstaking work, dod_orange_deathbox.

The apex of orange maps.

grab it while you can!!!!!!

Is this a weird joke?

WOW, this is simply the best orange map I have ever seen. I realy like your work.

If there were some kind of orange map contest, you will definitely get my vote :p

I know it would take some time to re-texture it all, but have you considered making a grey version ? ... that would be so cool :cool:

These square corners is absolutly out standing.
I love your work, man!
:D

be careful with nades on that map is what I have been told. you easily might find yourself getting personal with the skybox.

I played this map this morning, and Ace is not lying. This has to be THE BEST orange map EVER!!!! This is the map that is the turning point for all of you. If you haven't tried the "orange" series yet, I think this will get you hooked.

Good work Ace!!!! Can you release another one this afternoon?

Can you release another one this afternoon?

Give him 5 minutes.

Give him 5 minutes.It's 4pm where I'm at, and still no new map? I'm thoroughly disappointed.

*grin*

Apt idea, very much to the point. :]

Sorry for the delay, nearly came to blows with the testing team on the placement of the new "realistic" cover system. We have spent the better part of 4 hrs tweaking the placement of "an item of interest".......but I think we have it licked now.

A few more tests for lighting and all should be well

roflmao!!!

It's not orange enough!

It is not to be a pessimist or anything. Because the new "realistic" cover system, sure looks good, but I am a bit worried about the FPS.

I can see from the screenshot that you ONLY have 188 FPS. I need at least 220 FPS to hit anything.

Yes, well.... thats it to say...... we shall strive to optimise the FPS as soon as we work out the lighting.....

AhHAHAHAHAHA

Any chance of putting a sniper tower in this, maybe right in the middle? Excellent work, now running on JFG 24/7!!

I dunno, will this be funnier when it becomes the most played map in the world? ...or will the joke be on us?

If this ever became the most popular map the dod is in bigger trouble then anyone could imagine.

This thread is pathetic.


Stop being jerks.

jeesh , someone needs a GF.......

jeesh , someone needs a GF.......

Err.. Someone has one?

And I'm not going to get into that argument over the internets thx.

So you would rather come in and just ruin our fun.

Maybe go spend some time with her instead of busting our fun up

Please try out the map Pan... after a hour or two on a full server,
you will get your sense of humor back... i'm sure!

After playing this for awhile I would suggest optimizing it a little more, and also work on the lighting. Some ambient box noises would be nice to. Maybe go outside, and record yourself banging on some cardboard or something just a suggestion.........

I'm proud to have participated in this epic thread!

This thread is pathetic.


Stop being jerks.

Just because you don't get it, don't ruin our fun lol. HE'S RIDICULISING orange maps, you should be going along with this not hinder it lol.

As for the map...I really do think Valve should release this officially...I mean come on, this square is better than what they crank out after 4 months. :p

WTF? IT TOOK ME FOUR MONTHS TO MAKE!!!!!!!!!

oui, tres amusant!!

Hey if you need help to optimize that bad boy send me the vmf, I am pretty good with hint brushes. Also if you get some laggy spots try using portals.

WTF? IT TOOK ME FOUR MONTHS TO MAKE!!!!!!!!!

Damn you work fast!!

This post should stickied - lest we forget

I know what the point of this thread is.

I just think it's funny that possibly 20% of the entire dod:s community is here, packing sheet on these maps, and the other 80% play them almost everyday for hours, and they fill up servers in minutes, and if map voting is on, are usually extended for the maximum allowance every time.



This entire thread is a troll.

This will be the only post I will ever make about these horrible Orange or purple or any other color maps these kids are coming up with and if you are an adult doing this you should be smacked . I dont care how you look at this dod is a WW2 game these maps have no place here or even on source period . I hate CS with a passion and I dont even wish these maps on them .
I made the move from 1.3 to dod source because of the greatly improved graphics, gameplay and the quality & realistics of the maps we can now make !
I made a promise the day dod source came out I would only play and put on our server Good to great WW2 maps and Im sticking by that never will there be a POS map of this kind on our server !
But good luck with this joke !

This will become the standard by which all other maps; orange or otherwise, will be judged. Superb work.

Ha, straight haters. I love arena maps and point and laugh at kids that think they are too good for them. Keep arena maps coming!

I'm old and am too good for them.

fyi, everone, oxygencube makes THE BEST arena maps. The names of his maps alone indicate how kick-*** they are: Chocolate_arena and X-mas_Rush (only ones I could remember).

Lock this thread, plz.

Does this mean that even though I make orange maps but at the same time don't really consider that as really mapping that no one will like me? =[

It just means that a few more users on this board might whinge about it.



Nothing more.

No Jossi, it does not mean people won't like you if you make orange maps. If you make an orange map the best place to go with it is fpsbanana.com. The majority here are purists and might make fun of your map, or simply say "what a POS", but by no means will they hate you. What I am trying to say is if you post an orange map here don't expect 100 posts telling you "good job" (except maybe Pan). It doesn't mean its good or bad, just the way it is.

maybe we should start calling them pan_orange_xxx maps?

Gotta release these maps for TFC2 as well! :)

maybe we should start calling them pan_orange_xxx maps?You sir are harsh......funny, but harsh.

I have not seen a DoD surf_skate map yet...what's keeping you people?!?

Lol, I'd be less negative towards these orange maps if someone could actually point me in the direction of those which promote tactics, teamplay has a decent layout and is designed for DoD:S weapons and gameplay. Until then, this is the ultimate in monchrome maps!

Try playing them for fun.

/furious applause for this thread!

And your map is so good it makes me cry a wee bit;)

Great map :D

Are you working on a mini map for this, I'm having trouble finding my way around on it. And those 'realistic textures' are just a bit distracting from the pure enjoyment of playing this map.

And above all, thanks for the great laugh, no thread in these forums has had me laughing like this one has.

If you make an orange map do everyone a favor and /uninstall dod.

Hey man, just stopping by to congratulate you on your recent success:

I wonder when they plan on re-texturing dod_box with orange textures.

There we go, all is well in the world, orange maps rule the universe.

I played this map on a 32 player server. It was soo sweet, no matter what weapon I used it was an instant kill. I really like the creativity of the map and the fps was the best, bar none. Where did you get your inspiration from for this map?

Can you make a 10 flag version soon? And maybe some purple rain?
