Charge Sequence is my very first attempt at making a CTF map for Odamex. I finally have it in a playable state, but I need plenty of testers to iron out all the problems. This one has plenty of bridges, so be sure to set co_realactorheight to 1! I have no idea if this thing works in ZDaemon or Zandronum. I have only tested it in Odamex.

Here's a list of all the things I want testers to pay attention to and comment on, in order of importance:
1. The spawn area and player spawn locations
2. Item and weapon placement
3. The layout
4. The general visual style and the quality of the custom textures (excluding the recolored stock textures)

Any advice, suggestions and constructive critisism are more than welcome.

So, when I created the new lumps from a base resource archive in SLADE 3, the actual Doom textures are not included, just definitions? Damn I feel stupid...
EDIT: Modified first post to remove the confusion.

I'd say that GLASS1 texture is too garish, and should be darkened a bit. Can't comment on how the map plays, because I don't play MP at the time, so feel free to ignore this comment ;)

I really could use some more observations. I'm reluctant to make chages based on the opinions of only one or two people. Not to dismiss people who posted earlier, but I need to know more to get the bigger picture here. Should I host my own test server? I do know the basics of using odasrv, but I have no idea what port to open for players to be able to join.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!
