This map is made in Terragen and featured landscape similar to South America, it's foggy, cloudy, low winds and not too many trees, but many hills.

Here are some screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

Rocky Hills and Grass

Arm Commander and some trees

The terrain looks nice, and so does the heightmap; but it just looks a bit bland. There needs to be more interest on the map, such as variations in the ground and texture.

When features are working (not far off) it would be great to get some creeper or fern features to make it seem like a jungle :)

Looks good, but could do with some grass.

heh, I tried to add grass, but with no luck...I added specks of green channel 128 and nothing happens...

Nice map. I don't have anything to criticize there.

Doesnt that require a new TA version to work? ( i thought there was something to that effect in the cvs)

wow, Zw didn't have any criticism? -feels special-

well, as you might now I rarely make maps, so I don't know much about it, I guess i'll have too much grass if I compiled it in the older mapconv.

It's a good map.
I've only one question : why is the extractor radius so big?

NOiZE · Post by **NOiZE** » 06 Sep 2005, 19:21

nice map, but indeed the extrator radious is too big

GrOuNd_ZeRo · Post by **GrOuNd_ZeRo** » 07 Sep 2005, 01:30

I agree, did anyone have a problem with starting positions?

NOiZE · Post by **NOiZE** » 07 Sep 2005, 12:37

i clicked on the minimap inside the lobby and could only see 2 start posistions

GrOuNd_ZeRo · Post by **GrOuNd_ZeRo** » 07 Sep 2005, 17:51

Well, I fixed that now, so the fixed and random start positions aren't so odd, I also reduced the extraction radius.

If any of ya tell me how to place grass, I will do that too, I use mMapConv, otherwise, i'll just leave the grass out for now.

Yeah... mother really needs to get himself a wiki page for his map conv program and document it... and then add links to it from other pages... and links to the FU page it's hosted at... and update the desription on FU... and stuff...

Uhm, the start positions are really rubbish. There are only start positions for team 1 and 6, so if you're with 2 players one gets placed at the edge of the map.
