Map idea

Post by Robotguy4 »

I dont know if someone has done this before, but I think a micro tank map would be neat. Maybe on a kitchen counter or something...

I guess you could mess around with tanksize if you wanted, but it generally isn't a good idea.

You don't need to mess with tank sizes - just make everything else huge ;)

Hey, I'm working on my kitchen map. That could be it
but it's taking me forever to get the links worked out
(why oh why did I HAVE to put in 30 teleporters?:()
Any ways, it sound like fun. Great idea.
Dormant. Not really. Kinda.

You can mess with tank size but it's generally not necessary when you can scale the map. A Temporal Distraction and I played with making 1:4 and 4:1 scale mofo maps and scaling all relevant variables. It didn't really feel any different, aside from the messed up texture size and shots that either looked like beach balls or golf balls. ;) Don't go below 1/4 on tank size, because below that the view gets a bit wonky.

That said, I think Sir Pants made a house map that's scaled sort of like that.
