You haven't tested the map yet, and you're releasing it?SirIchBeenCool wrote:p.s. no screenies yet havent tested it yet...
Might want to try it out yourself first before releasing it to such a large audience... then you'll be able to catch flaws beforehand, and it will be more ready for the general public when you release it.

Perhaps "release" wasn't the right word, but starting up a map for one test is quite minimal relative to what most people do before posting .bzw's. And a lack of testing really isn't a good reason not to post screenshots.

No worries... you didn't do anything improper, I was just making a suggestion about certain things that are good steps to take when posting map files. I know sometimes you have to do things a step at a time... but testing is usually something you'll want to do before posting files. At least once, to make sure everything works. There's no time pressure to release/post maps, you know.SirIchBeenCool wrote:welll jeez im sorry i didnt have time to test it and put up screenies......

If it takes you five or ten minutes to make some screenshots, you can save all the rest of us a lot of combined time, and ensure that a lot more people will see your map. Many of us either don't have time to start up bzfs for every file we see posted on the forums, or aren't able to do so at the present time and situation.

SirIchBeenCool:
Looks very nice.
I like how you took blocks and formed it into a tank shape.
It looks quite playable, and will be fun to play too.
One idea though.. (if you get the chance to do this) .. make it almost like Viper's Two Castles where there's a few teleporters on the ground that connect to the main bridge in the center.
Overall, it looks beautiful.
Hoping to play it soon!

Err, what open stuff?soccermiles wrote:You should add some stuff in that open space in the corners.
Looks a tiny bit cramped to me, actually. I'd maybe get rid of some of the pyramids in the corners. The map looks like it could be fun, but without enough players, everyone would just be hiding behind a pyramid, or whatever.

Take a look at good maps such as HiX, Overlord, Pillbox, etc...soccermiles wrote:seriously, are you saying that it's good to have a huge open field intead of a real arena?! (To Winny)
Notice one thing in common? They all have lots of open space(s), mixed in with slightly high-density areas. The mix between these two helps to create a good map, with lots of dynamics.
Go take a look at the top 5-10 maps on the serverlist, how many are cramped? Not many at all.

Thanks for that.soccermiles wrote:And by the way, there are more than ten servers on that serverlist
Maybe learn to read, and THEN reply.. (Oh, and there's and "edit" button for a reason.)
"Go take a look at the top 5-10 maps"
Both SirIchBeenCool's map, and all the other maps that I mentioned (Overlord, etc..), are the same size. (400 units)I've SEEN those all, but obviously I prefer not to play my games on the Great Plains, where near means far and "almost there" means "five minutes away"
Oh, and nice try editing your post above there. Unfortunately, the edit text at the bottom gives you away.
(And for your info, you're in your own little world on that one, bud.)You're arguing with a KID! and you're losing too!HA!

1st of all.. yes, we can tell that Winny is arguing with a kid. Is it not easy to tell? And don't always try to brag that you are winning a conversation, because most topics can be posted on multiple times. So, you can make it a big fight if you want to. It's your choice.soccermiles wrote:You're arguing with a KID! and you're losing too!HA!
2nd of all...

Don't make several posts that are trying to improve your thought that you are right and Winny is wrong. It just doesn't work that way.soccermiles wrote:I was exaggerating, duhh..., but it's true to some extent.
Well.. (unfortunately) .. this topic grew from good to bad.
