New Map : WarpVal

[BaNa]

Hey I had this map up my sleeve for ages, but I wasn't too happy with a few details. Since I won't be fixing those things anytime in the foreseeable future, I decided on releasing the map.

It uses teleportation extensively, I hope people are willing to try it out.

looks cool.
What are those green and orange patches?

[knorke]

id guess they mark the teleports he mentioned.

looks good and would like to play it sometime but 24x12 is above the limit my pc can handle lategame.

They are the teleporters. Each one will take your units to the other one with same color. It is basically symmetrical. If you are on the left side you have to have units going towards right to teleport, if on the right side, units have to go left.

Here is a replay of a 49 min game on the map, obviously people being new to the concept and no pro players

and an 8v8 game

I updated the map with sexy new lua, courtesy of BrainDamage!

There is now a mapoption that allows for the linking of teleport gates to change over time. The exploit involving buildings on the teleports is now fixed, they dont sink the ground but they do disapear O_O. Also, air no longer teleports!

out of interesst, what was causing the holes?
teleports being at different heights + terraform from buildings?

This map is fun, original and looks good.

I do not know, the holes went down to height of 100 (the height that the teleport teleports to), BD assumed it was unfinished buildings being teleported and so ground smoothing not ending in time. Braindamage fixed it by having the ground autoregen or something :D

anybody who wants to use teleportation in a map, feel free to use the lua in this one!

Btw if you are reading this BrainDamage, that invisible but shooting llt thing may need a fix :D

looks gravy; great work, is this a WM texture?

good stuff to keep working with the teleports though, this is great to see, hopefully i can have a game here soon.

Its a Carrara texture with an overlayed erosion map from WM which genned the heightmap

Very nice! I saw some games on it, and it looked quite fun.
Also am very happy with the general looks of the map. Good use of massive height differences.
