World War, I was actually expecting something a little bigger

As you said in an earlier post, this map is the last of it's series.

World War, big name, should live up to it

Having said that, this is a playable map, the whole series is

Good Job!

Yes, I agree with Grace, it is a bit anticlimactic, still, good job.

Looks okay, I might have made it no jumping though. Also lately almost all of your maps look like edited versions of each other....

Are they just edited versions of each other?
But they still all look good.

No, they arent edited versions.

PETER brings up a good point. I looked at them closely and they're very much the same. The pictures ww_288 and btw_170 in fact have the exact same middle almost.

This isn't because they are "edited" versions of each other (most likely not, at least). I'm more inclined to believe this is a style that Zelgadis is particularly good at implementing in his maps. If you were to go through the map author Dutchrai and all his previous maps, you would find multiple (if not most to all of his) of his maps with this type of style and/or object placement. (see screenshot)

And as for the name world war, I'm not entirely sure what you guys are looking for. Some giant crammed map with multiple different levels? How does the name *not* fit? See, the thing about Zelgadis' maps is the playability. Play it a little before you judge! Viper's The Two Castles map isn't all that crammed or such, and the "castles" are made up of about five to seven major blocks.

Personally, I think it looks really good... a tad on the simplistic side, but that's not always bad.

That's not what I meant at all...

Naw, I think your missing what I meant. I do like his maps, never said I didn't. The playability is great you can tell straight from the screenshots! Yes, I have also played it, I wouldn't judge otherwise...

ducatiwannabe wrote: Personally, I think it looks really good

Yeah, well so do I. With my post I only meant that the maps looked the same. Almost like all he did was move/add some things.

Yeah? I wasn't putting him down or anything!

Sorry, didn't mean any of what I said as a personal attack. Could see how it came across that way. They do look similar, I was just pointing out that your pointing out was what I thought just a style deal.

You're cool, I'm evil :E

my bad!

The following post was useless. Don't post just to say "yes" or "I agree". If you don't have anything useful to add to the conversation, don't post.

This next one has several things wrong with it.
1) This was completely off topic.
2) Large font is annoying
3) Why would we email you to help you? This is a forum. We can help you just fine on here.
4) We don't have enough information to help. If you actually want help, fully explain the situation, what you have tried, any error messages, and so on. The more information that is provided, the easier it is for us to help.

Feel free to make a new topic to get help, after you search the forum for similar problems. The odds are that someone else has had the problem before.

James still cant get a server happening and BZedit just stuffed up so now when you tell a block or piramid or teleporter to do anything, it does not do anything.
James was just wondering.

Email Me.
