Unbalanced maps

feeds@yuku.com (wise general) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:04:44 GMT

There's possible to set the unbalaned maps not to be in random map pool ?
In my opinion the follow maps are unbalanced because one player can protect the HQ but the other can not:
Abduction Craft
Area69
Bunker
Bunker Defence
Cavern
Cover
Docks
Frontier
Phaze
UFO
Village
Warehouse
Signs

Also The Cage is unbalanced cause one unite inside the cage can spot the enemy moves too easy.

Palace re-vote

Since the last vote actually got only THREE people voting during a WHOLE FREAKIN MONTH, and extension of a week has been added to the voting time. Now everyone GET YOUR ARSES TO THE VOTING BUTTONS!!!

(don't mind the little typo on the map name)

Should it be in Random Pool?

It seems that it has sligh bias towards greys, but does it really? The map is in general pool for now (or for good?) so you get to play it and make up your mind if it should be in the random instead!

Voting time will last for four weeks (28 days) starting now, so you have time to ponder & test for a while.

Sorry to ruin your idea, but the map is too small to be accepted in closer examination.
The minumum sizes are 40x40 - 30x50 (or simply sides counted together 80) - JC 19.12.07

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.

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.

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.
