2007/05/26 The Hatchery 50x50

Hi stx, I think this map is nearly done apart from a few floor tile pieces needing fixing (I can do this for you).

There a a few test games on the LGA, and there is a post HERE and an updated post HERE for the map.

Hi Ian, hope you don't mind us doing it in public?

To make things easier for both of us, I'll list your maps here with any comments from the map mods and take it from there.

(comments to follow as and when...)

New Map: Grenada

feeds@yuku.com (Ian S Sturrock) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 11:56:40 GMT

This one is designed with one criterion in mind... it must maximise the fun you can have with grenades (and goo balls, I suppose). There are almost no objects or walls on this map that can't have a grenade lobbed over or through them, one way or another. There is also plenty of opportunity for terrain remodelling. Should be good for Ring of Fire matches, though I suspect it'll work for most race & point matchups.

Unfortunately I still can't do any test matches with...

Which map? Part 2.

Just for fun again, can you name all the maps?

Swapping Challenge's for map tests

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 15:01:27 GMT

My opponent tried to challenge me to one of my maps but couldn't. Is it because he used the map name rather than the file name?

Map Editor and Door Controls

feeds@yuku.com (samwiselsn) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:05:57 GMT

Hey lads, I've dipped into map-making.

I've managed to work it all out, have put a basic map down, played on it a little ect.

My question is how to link controls to specific doors ect?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New Map: Checkpoint

feeds@yuku.com (Ian S Sturrock) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 21:15:27 GMT

The border fortifications were built during a time of uneasy truce. Hostilities are about to break out again. Both sides have sent crack commando units behind enemy lines, but the regular forces are still separated by heavy fortifications, including force fields and military walls.

This is another variant over the old "fight for the bunker in the middle" map idea.

I would love to test this one out, but I've got 5 maps uploaded already.

Is this story line any better?

Machina manufactured a ship called The Bug. Especially designed with many guns to destroy Spawn. In the end the ship had lost the battle and is now infested.

Available map makers?

Hi.

Please see this thread: p069.ezboard.com/fcodogam...0981.topic

If you're the sort of person who has time to free to make maps, shout out - and we'll see about opening up some sort of discussion as to what features would be needed.

New Map 'Bug'

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:50:02 GMT

The Spawn mother ship has landed. Waiting for the Queen eggs to hatch. To begin their next invasion and dominate the universe.

I know floor tiles need more work. Dirt spots perhaps look a bit out of place in parts. Just wanted you to get the general idea.

New Map: Stately Home

feeds@yuku.com (Ian S Sturrock) — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 12:36:47 GMT

A pre-crash version of Shuttle Crash. Rotwang & I had such fun running round the hedge mazes on that map in our test game that I wanted more... It's now in My Maps if anyone fancies testing it out.

Alien Landing Zone made some changes.

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:24:46 GMT

Ok! I did this after a test game against Rotwang who gave me some really useful comments.

Put double doors to the side of metal boxes to stop camping plus allow larger units to enter. Only one entrance/exit. Plus the whole room is smaller and not split up.

Broke up force fields as they were too Grey friendly. Plus took away a few pieces of the henge to allow...

Metal Walls

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 12:06:33 GMT

If you want to make a map that consists mostly of metal walls rather than destructable. Then what do you do to make it non biast towards Greys. Any tips or ideas?

Just that I want to make a Spawn Space Ship. That looks like something out of the film Alien.

New Map Domestic Disaster

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:26:08 GMT

A U.F.O has been shot down by a military base that protects the village. Sadly there were devestating consequences.

Not done deployment yet on purpose. As otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the the detailed bit around the crash site.

New map update 'Alien Encounter' Temple of Drone's

feeds@yuku.com (krayon109) — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 05:46:49 GMT

Ok! iv'e randomised all the barrels and added more texture and colour. Iv'e also taken away and added breakable walls to the spine as before it was too Grey freindly against Marines.

Doesn't look like a desert anymore but deserts dont really have a lot of colour. So I went for more of an Aztec kind of feel. With the square patterns around the top.
