I'm aware that placid stream reminds everyone of this map. I was getting bitched at by my GF today and decided to remake this map while she was "talking". The sad part, is I made the entire damn thing before she was done. Meh, women.
I checked the original and it had an abundance of metal on each island, so I did the same. Also, the number of spots on the original and this one are the same. I changed the placement a bit cause I didn't care for the way that cavedog did it, but nothing that will really matter.
Enjoy!
(BTW Noize, I remembered my method for importing and recreating in 32 bit, perfect recreations of ota heightmaps. Gee, yay for me lol)
It's 12x12. The starts are set up for only 3 ppl as this was always a 3 way ffa map, but 2v2v2 should function very nicely on it as well.

WOW, agressive texturing, i like it! Very Very NICE job man!
The startpositions are good too
Now my usual nutpicking
this is all very minor so don't worry to much about it.
Maybe add some rocks here and there to give it a even more natural feel.
Add more starting positions like up to 10 or something, so ppl can have really crazy games on your maps.
But overall very nice map! Great job, keep it up :)

Wait... your GF was telling you to make this map? Next thing, you'll be saying she plays spring.
Good looking remake. As ever mate.

I got bored so now I'm doing errotep glacier. I always loved that map. There may be a few personal texturing touches on it so don't freak out too much
Umm muffdvr, maybe this might help as to how to get the bumpmapping working:

THis is my greenworld climate (most of my textures are in a texture pack in the mappers forum if you want any of them). All you do is process these maps, in this order.
Design Map
Heightfield
Attributes map
At this point click view>show map - heightfield.
Click operations> active map> split into mosaic.
Now click view>show map - attributes map.
Click operations> active map> split into mosaic.
now process "Terrain Normals"
Light map with these settings
angle - 180
60 degrees
hit next
uncheck water and cast chadows, hit next/ok
Then when that's done just process your terrain.
Sounds like a lot, but it's really not that big of a deal. Good luck!

That river looks like it was made from rectangles.
Yah, the OTA one problably had those to, but it still looks bad.
The rivers that is...the rest of the map looks great.

True, I would have been disapointed if the rivers had lost their stepped appearance, this is totally authentic to the ota original.
@ Forboding, thanks for the info, I will use that method next map for shure.

Better than my version, although I was limited to the autotreespawn.
Good job.
