DeathMatch Mapping Guidelines

Deathmatch Mapping Guidelines

General

Do not blatantly copy parts from other maps.
Do not use provocative or offensive map names.
If your map contains a song, make sure it follows radio guidelines.
Do not intentionally include shortcuts or hidden hunters in your map.
Make sure to thoroughly test your map before uploading it; Map testers are ought to only finalise this process.
Your map has to be well done - no badly connected or flickering objects.
All parts of your map should be consistant - they should work as intended everytime.
Each landing in your map should be smooth and not bumpy.
Use signs and markers to clarify the way for players in case the part might be unclear.
Diversity of the track is very important, making 3 loops in a row is only a time filler.
Any slowloading of objects is unacceptable.
Freeroaming with any vehicle apart from helicopters should not be possible.
Random obstacles in the air or on the track are unacceptable.
For skilled maps lovers: make sure that at least first minute of your map is enjoyable and passable for an average player.

Modern

Endless toolbox loops with 300+ objects are not welcome.
Placing the track at the same level as decoration (or a bit lower) is highly appreciated.
In terms of decoration - the less toolbox used, the better it looks.
Try to match the objects used to the theme of your map (tropical theme - brown rocks, palms etc., not snowy trees)
Decorations should look as real as possible - objects such as bridges should not hang in the air.

Oldschool

All objects should be visible and have collision.
Maps should not contain too many re-scaled objects.
Race pickups should be completely visible.
Maps without decoration won't be accepted.
Variety of vehicles used is welcome.
Slow/tricky parts are welcome.
Slide, roof or backwards parts are not allowed.
Instruction parts are not allowed (i.e. "Space + A/D etc.)

Classic

Classic rooms only contain old maps, therefore you can't make maps for those rooms.
