VCTF-Garden is a conversion from XMP-Garden of UTXMP; however, you don't need UTXMP to run this map.
It consists of two bases, a valley between and one structure in the valley. It's not precisely symmetrical, but it's even. Flags are in the middle of the bases. You have to infiltrate them and then get out. There's a teleporter system there, however, you have to Shield Jump to use it to get to the flag. There are also towers that are good for sniping enemies, and bunkers all over the map that are also good for sniping. Outdoors there are also teleporter system, but this time they are more accessible and provide a way to move as fast as vehicles do. The vehicles themselves are at the end of the bases, in garages: one Scorpion and one Goliath for each base.

Note that to install this map, you have to get two files - the map itself and other files that are needed for the map. However, UTXMP players don't need these extra files.

Download:
Required files:
MediaFire or my website (7zip, 36MB)

-----------
DESCRIPTION
-----------

Garden converted from XMP to VCTF. Bots are marvellous here, they even strategise a bit. Though they like going the straight road to the enemy base instead of the longer, but more rewarding path.
Overall Garden is two bases divided by a valley. These bases have a lot of entrances, however, they also provide a good place to defend. Towers give snipers a good chance to snipe enemies, and the few vehicles available provide a slightly quicker way to battle.

Oops, missed a BSP hole and some lighting issues. Resolved now, so please redownload if you have downloaded it, but only the map file, not the required files (see how good is this system? ;) ).

No problem :) They key to porting things over is the infamous "brush memory hack": http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Brush_Hacking Basically it also works with all kinds of actors, so I have a pretty neat "Replace Actors" tool: Notepad ;)

On the other hand, UTXMP maps are so poorly pathed that I basically had to create those paths from scratch :( Thus that means that UTXMP got one better pathed map and that bots now behave marvellously. Yet it seems that UTXMP has some code that "compensates" this flaw and makes bots behave badly even if the paths are all very good... Ah well. Enjoy the map ;) Will make an Onslaught map out of this one too, just because XMP is basically VCTF+ONS+VDOM (Vehicle Domination).

Added a mirror on my website:
Required files:
My website
Map:
My website

EDIT: MediaFire download apparently has missing dependencies, so until I fix it use my website instead.
EDIT3: All right, there were MORE missing dependencies... Sigh... You should consider looking up my Alcazar map pack post and following the directions there to get all the UTXMP content in your installation. If you don't want to, you can redownload the updated includes file from my website or MediaFire: http://www.mediafire.com/?t2mtmyomqyu
