That map would be pretty crappy in the new format. You'd need a full screen stretched texture. Probably best to have it in the old format, although it would be pretty shitty there too... Why the hell did someone make a map that is a picture of a duck?

They were inspired by god to make a map in 20mins that would get more playtime than maps that took weeks to make.
(Talking about the original Duck, not my map btw)

genius, Ishach, pure genius.
you could just use a flat heightmap for that.

You know, i never thought of that.
Ok this map is back on track, although I might make it 8x8 or something.
Actually i'll start it again and not let it mysteriously come up as black and white.
Entering a battle room near you this week!

No, you must not make it flat! Make the ducks have same heightmaps as Duck!
Btw, its actually a goose that someone made a map of, and called it Duck.

1. use choose position in game to avoid spawn issue
2. can't change the color as far as I know. Try playing with F4 metal view on.
as far as "don t be carfull for some bad spamer always unconstructiv(making ridiculous mods)!" goes, the only response I can make is "ouf if someone say so =we can too=." I think you know what I mean.
3. I'm personally not going to make a 64x64 map because it seems like it would take up a lot of memory and therefore time.

Any map bigger than 32x32 or so (IIRC) has problems because of Spring deals with shadowmaps (among other things)
So yeah, too-large maps are bugged.

larger thuan 40x40 is technically not possible because mapconv will crash out.

The 40x40 limit is hardcoded in the exe, they use it for MAXTILES and other ceiling calculations.

The polished up version, also includes sensible heightmap!
All thats left is to stop it from crashing spring

If the 40x40 limit is just a #define, or its set via some universal parameter...
hm...
is it?

Ill guess it has to do with variable size..

I finished the map but it wont load in the client :'(
But I could play a game of emmanuel's own Combat_constructors through spring.exe.

When i saw Duck for the first time i was absolutely mortified by it. But at the same time, seeing as how the old format works, i figured it would only be a matter of time before someone did that sort of thing. And to be honest, as rediculous as it is, it is quite funny.
Emmanueland only takes it up a notch, I approves of the stupidity!

1. use choose position in game to avoid spawn issue
