Just like in the title, what kinds of maps do you guys use when you're testing a plugin?

I'm just looking to get a general discussion started on this topic. Do you use stock maps, some misc ones or perhaps you made your own, or you just don't care?

If you were to design a map for plugin testing, regardless of the game or mode, what would be the key features?


I'll start...

[TF2] I use the surf map my server is running, which has no goals at all, but also work on cp_powerhouse sometimes when I need to test stuff on bots.

My key points for a test map: goalless, simple on nav mesh generation, closed-off spawns, small but with plenty open space, dev textures because they look cool.

most of my plugins do not need objectives or anything to work so i just test on a 1024x1024x512 walled map with a few spawns and lighting.

itemtest

[Benoist3012]

Same as Peli, itemtest, or mvm_example if it involves bots.

Depends on what I'm testing.

I generally don't use a custom map unless I'm testing something that explicitly requires it (custom game modes).
