OTA map conversion request

I was just thinking about good amphib/hover maps, and was wondering if any of you (legendary) mappers found the time, you would consider doing a spring version of evad river confluence, or indeed expanded confluence.

Check out, "Placid Stream"
It's a lot like evad, not designed for FFA though. I was gonna do a remake of it more in the spirit of Evad designed for FFA. Havn't gotten to it yet.

i just tried that (xta) and hovers cant get to 90% of the map, same with pelicans. Gimps can however....
any other ideas?

all units can cross the water... it's like 2 feet deep. Vehicles can cross it, kbots can cross. Thanks to the horrible slope tolerances in AA/XTA it's more or less a kbot map.

How about the Swamp- definatly not OTA - but Hovercraft compatible..

forboding sorry if i seemed a little irreverant in my previous post. I random started top left, and .gave myself a hover plant, and the hover couldnt get off the starting plateua. In f2 mode it looked like it couldnt get up the rocky bits, effectively meaning they were useless. Same for pelicans.
I will try swamp, ty picasso

Oh, you wanted a map that you could use mainly just hovers on. Sorry, I didn't make the connection sooner (durrr).

Why FA? What is wrong with Placid Stream? It is a great Map - even if you just want to use Hovers only - if i remember right..

AA ships are so overpowered nobody wants to play water maps.

also, Caydr is looking into that... he plans on releasing when Spring v0.73b1 is out, so go bug SS!
also... what does the b stand for in the version? build?

Surely bumps are topics that have been dead for a month or two. Not everybody can get to their computer every weekend.

I personally have never really been a fan of Evad River, but i may give it a try.
