map suggestion

Post by wizard8873 »

I stumbled upon an old, probably dead, TA2 suggestion site. I remember looking at it a while back. anyways, in the concept area, there are four map pics at the bottom. i remember wanting to make them for TA but couldn't without a tileset like that. well, I was wondering if itd be possible with TASpring, or more importantly, if anyone would be up for it? heres the link:

I would do it myself but I tried making a map, got frustrated and gave up after a few tries and many many hours of messing aorund with it.

I don't know what tools they were made with, but they should be possible.

Picasso are you saying that he works for gas powered games now? Anyways he does have an e-mail and msn contact on his webpage. I've added him to my msn and if he ever comes online I'll be sure to inform him about the spring project.

I've gotten in touch with him. He is aware of the TA Spring project. He hasn't checked it out in awhile though. I've talked to him about the possibilty of getting the texturemaps rendered at a larger resolution so we can get them into the Spring engine. He is a cool guy and definitely interested.

I'm just letting you guys know so all you crazy little monkeys don't email him at once :)
