Ehm.. how do you open a map that you downloaded if it doesn't appear in the options menu

/map {mapname}

Yeah just type map trans and hit tab for autocomplete.
Just updated the file, make sure you don't use the old one on a server because jetpack really breaks things.

I also removed some no build zones from the first alpha as people were sometimes getting confused by those. That might allow for some dirty play, I've just removed them to see how it will play out without. I'm expecting I'll need to add them back in next version, but you never know. Sometimes the most fun tactics come out of an oversight...
Also, map still needs particles, sounds, locations, lightsources, lighting in general, decals and some more variations on the texture theme etc.

I'm not convinced about extra texturing â€“ the first release was very clean in this respect and benefitted a lot from that.

I got a lot of complaints about the first one looking too plain, and many people say they like the texturing now... can't please everyone. I also put a lot of time in it and don't feel like throwing it all away now. Just mapping with one texture is fun tho, I'll try making another map like that at some point.

I'm gonna mangle this one, break the symetric layout and throw away some outside parts, the vis sucks and I think it'll be more fun when it's no longer symetric. The outside still isn't working. The upper loop seems to be the major selling point atm so I'll be keeping that.
