I played it this evening. At begin i don't really like it. I think i'll need to play it sometimes to really enjoy to play this map.

i specced this map,and i like it,but it seems there is some problem with the stairs. You have to jump on each stair ,not just run up on them. That can be really frustrating when you are carrying the flag and want to get away quickly. But maybe this is the intention,what do iknow?

Are these only for UT(99) or can you post for 2k3/2k4 too?

That was the intention.
This slows down the defenders coming back from the second spawn room and that also slows down easy escape from the upper side which would be otherwise a lot shorter than going via the on the lower side.
I have spectated too and I found the gameplay was exactly as I planned. Now maybe some players won't like the stairs but that's part of the gameplay.
I would like to add some players made remarks JUST AFTER RESPAWN like "this map sucks" or other stupid things to say without even trying a map. That's not the attitude I expect. If you look at what's played on other servers, you'll find that 80% of the maps played have the "andAction" design and the rest is not really suitable for instagib. That's what really "sucks" IMHO.
I was really chocked by that attitude and that does not encourage me to find or create new maps for iCTF.
That reminds me a long time ago when I started iCTF servers and players would only play Coret and Gauntlet 5 vs 5. That led me to find or help design some of the classic maps that are always voted. Players should be happy to see new maps even if I agree some are less good, objectively this one is good. Just stop voting for the other maps all the time.
Let me know if I still need to care about adding new maps on the iCTF server because I am very doubtful about it at the time being.

To my knowledge there's only one map played on the UT2k4 CTF server and that's "Face classic".
Let us know whether the ut2k4 community wants additional maps and we'll see with Medic what we can do for you guys.
The main problem is that when there was a iCTF (no low grav) server with some custom maps, noone was playing on it.

Oh yes... new maps are allways wanted and needed on the iCTF server imo. I think it's time to lengthen the map vote blockage again... maybe not to as long as it was before, but a little longer, so other maps than D_Day, Burning and MoonRun will be played oftener. don't get me wrong, I love the maps mentioned, but it gets tiering playing the same maps over and over again.

And has there been any activity in the UT2004 ONS server?

I really don't know the status of this specific server. I am sure Medic will reply

The ONS server is not much populated these days. The FaceClassic is often full on the other hand.
I don't have much time to maintain them, so I'll maybe shut the ONS down to save some resources.

Any new CTF maps coming? I sure hope so. I'm busy trying to make some time to make my first map, but I do not know how long it's gonna take. I've already got a theme. A theme that I have not seen at the I4G server until now, what gives good prospects. (No, I'm not gonna tell you what kind of theme. :p) Can I still send you the maps, CN?

I cannot receive mail for a few days. Just wait.
Unless you catch me on iRC, you can send them over there, just PM me.
As a mapper, I personally decided not to make any new CTF maps because mainly, whatever the new map you put on, most players want to stick to older and smaller maps (It's their decision, I accept it).
Mapping takes a lot of time, especially for CTF because you have to have a very good design to make a fun gameplay. Instagib makes it even a lot worse.
I am always open to ideas though. If you guys come up with a good map design idea, I'll make an exception and build it for you.
