Spring RTS Engine

I thought Spring was missing a decent water map, so i hope i provide one :D

NOTE:
On the ingame minimap the water is blue, on the minimap here u see the bottom of the river.

A propos...

The minimap generator _really_ needs to be fixed to account for water areas...
Afer getting the mappack torrent, it was nearly indiscernable which map actually was a seamap...

Seconded. But I understand it might be uneasy to have to recode all the terrain shading and stuff into mapconv.

Would it be possible to feed mapconv with a minimap.bmp to use with the map? And to add a special key into Spring exe to produce a large minimap screenshot with shading and all but without player dots and screen position white lines and corners?

well, the mapconverter could just look at the heightmap and replace everything <0 with <watercolour>.

Of course, custom minimap pics would be better (because those could hide artifacts like repeating textures that arent visible in the _ingame_ minimap, but make the preview one ugly...)

a comment on the map itself would be great also :S

The map looks great!

I'll download it and make a water battle between my self.

I metal path and I like when metal is scatered everywhere, but I don't like how it is on your map, it hurt my eyes :)
Why do not use shade of green instead of your binary methode?

Exept that, it's a very nice map, grass is oroginal, shore look good, and there is a good proportion water/grass .

having played this map with you and schooled some ppl i must say jolly good job! :D

Ok, downloaded and checked it.
Really nice looking, especially the flowing coastline.

But the metalmap really needs some tweaking, it really hurts the eyes.

shut up! the metal map ROCKS :D
