.:New Map:. Canyons

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 06 Feb 2006, 02:20

My new map canyons, features a desert scheme. It is suitable for up to 8 players. Pay attention to the start positions though, because they might throw you off a little bit. Enjoy!

P.S. If it seems too bright to you, then maybe you should turn your monitors contrast down a smidgen. If it is super bright then the contrast was up waaay to much anyway lol.

Download here (it's about 9 megs):

Edit: Me and NOIZE just had a 2 hour battle. It was a kick ass game. I thought he was gonna kick my ass hardcore several times. It's a great game to spectate!

Looks pretty nifty, and not so large that the canyons are just huge flat places. Will definately check it out

Well I have already gotten complaints because some ppl seem to think it's too bright. Looks fine on my monitor which is a 21 inch, but because I get tired of hearing ppl bitch, I'm retexturing it. Should be done in about an hour.

Aside from any brightness issues, first crack is that it's fun to play on.

I'm gonna love this map

wind is good, but makes sense on a dessert map
metal distro is good
it features my features :D

i only could find one point to whine about, and that's about the sun, it's so bright that some reflections on units go nuts, way to bright

owh and besides that, can you upload a minimap to fileuniverse?

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 06 Feb 2006, 07:42

ack

I did upload a mini

damn it must not be in the right place

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 06 Feb 2006, 08:13

ok I hate myself for this, but I redid the terrain again, made it even better. Also, I fixed the unit reflectivity problem as well.

THanks for that info noize, I had no idea it was that bad. I can't play with reflection lol.

New version will be up in about 10 mins.

cool

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 06 Feb 2006, 09:05

Ok uploading is done :D

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 06 Feb 2006, 09:29

Ok, this map has been a classic example of the little things kicking your ass. FINAL VERSION IS BEING UPLOADED RIGHT NOW.

I apologize for all of the changes, but I'm fixing a lot of small mistakes that I have made.

This latest changes the start positions (At NOIZE's request), so that random 1 vs 1 works correctly.

Download will be completed in about 5 minutes from this post.

Thank you guys for your patience, sorry about all of this.

foboding. I love the map, but I JUST noticed that the map, like your previous ones has no shaddows. This is not good, I think it would help the map alot and the units would be easier to spot.

??? awww damnit

I can't reupdate all that stuff, I will fix it in subsequent maps.
