The chatwindow has a blue background, so this shuldn't be a problem.

Much better, especially the texture.
But the "roundness" makes it look a bit artificial imo.
And how big textures are we talking about here? Small metalpatches like in OTA or some combination of the old and new system with bigger metal patches/areas?

You win...
Ignore the formation thing and focus on the "spread"- hotkey instead, would be very usefull.

Well, I'd like to have a map of "radar" and "los" dead zones. So basically you can make sections of your map (such as forests) halt radar detection. As I have suggested earlier, I think that units in forests should also be allowed free cloaking (irrelevant of their ability to do...

Looks a bit too much like someone spilled mercury, or T1000 from terminator. Looks a bit to pretty. Needs to be more cracked, rugged. It needs to look a bit more like this... http://img123.echo.cx/img123/8254/metalpatch7uu.jpg if we are going to keep the metalpatches, (I prefer the larger metal area...

I like to draw
that shuld be for the mapmaker to decide, If he doenst whant any water on his map, (no water on the moon!) he shuld be able to set something like this.

You shuld be able to set a level for 100% hardness (indestructible) to stop water forming in craters (moon maps etc).

start spring.exe yes on "be server" choose a script ("cmd 1000" gives each team a commander and 1000M 1000E)
The other computer start spring, choose No then connect to ip of the server

only show the player name in respective color, for instance:
player1: krogoth!
player2: bring em on...

Just spawning ideas around the topic...

Mabye a interface buttom with choises: "formation: tight/lose" When set to loose units would try to at all times keep a distance (atleast 2-3x unit width). Using this on goliaths (or other big and slow units) allows smaller supporting units (rockos etc) to move freely within the formation,...

Would 40 meg be acceptable to most for a map this size? I dont know if I can get it any smaller...

As long as it is a good quality map, 40Mb is acceptable.
But any bigger and the download times starts to be an annoyance.

Old topic on the same issue.

Good Idea...

The vast majority of players can speak english anyway.

On topic!: The only thing that needs to be done really is a link at the downloadspage to fileuniverse, about 30 sec of work and all new TASplayers would get a better game with lots of maps and mods etc.

But they shuld be able to.

Why not just make a map that is half the size the maps are now, then you would have those tight skirmishes. Instead of playing a 8x8 map with big units, play a 4x4 map with small units. Also, then mapmakers wouldnt need to consider multiple unitsizes, since a map made for small units might not work ...

The terminator also has a cool german accent
