The addon.lev will work with 2.0, but in 2.1 Warzone will go mad, because of the "\"...
I guess this is created with Qamly's mapeditor? So for 2.1 we badly need a new one...

I just ran a game with 7 AI's to stress-test various changes I made,the snow title looks more impressive than the old 'dune' title,though seems the AI only built 1 out of 4 of the oilderrick 'arrays' and they rarely build other stuff on that map too.

Besides,that map refuses to run for the cvs/svn version by default,I had to change the path names in .lev file to unix path(from '\' to '/').

Here is the modified 8c-thepit2006U.addon.lev(changed all '\' I can find to '/'),hope you wont mind that I changed it without asking you for permission.

That's what I promised you some time ago. ;)

But actually we don't necessarily need a new editor, even though this would be nice.
A converter script would ok, as it seems. I have some sed-magic here, if someone's interested. (It is the same with which I converted the svn-data.)

* Interesting changes, Lav. :)

* Snow texture looks good from all angles save one (wherein the tile edges clearly show - I wanna say @ a 45 degree "tilt").

* Having the Oil wells out of the Command Center visible range makes critical quick deployment / exploration (not a "Turtle" friendly device) for resources.

* I waited 5 minutes before clearing the initial Fog-of-War perimeter and it was already TOO late ! 2 A.I.s attacked my derricks upon completion and very rapidly advanced on my Command Center - Game Over !!

* Maybe I'm rusty or maybe I just have to get into a "Click-Fest" mood and employ a bit of "Rush" modus (I thought you hated Rush 'tactics', btw).

* Anyhow, these are just very preliminary comments, nothing more than an immediate first impression, and thus likely somewhat misguided and unfair to your overall design intent.

* I daresay, I'll have to play with it some more to appreciate it in a more fullsome manner. :D

* On a minor note: Do you have a "Cliff" tile that has a snow-blend on all 4-edges such that you donot get that perfect straight line at the top of your cliffs ?

* On a side bar: There was a recent thread about the PSX "Drive" mode...... Just select any unit and move it from point A to point B then press the "Spacebar" - a quite lovely, immersive, POV will ensue. ;)

yes - hopefully with the game being worked on as it is - this will not happen too much longer.

* Having the Oil wells out of the Command Center visible range makes critical quick deployment / exploration (not a "Turtle" friendly device) for resources.

actually it is quite turtle friendly (read as defensive tactics) - thing is to explore rather quickly your surroundings.


* I waited 5 minutes before clearing the initial Fog-of-War perimeter and it was already TOO late ! 2 A.I.s attacked my derricks upon completion and very rapidly advanced on my Command Center - Game Over !!

factory - power module - research - build trucks between factory and power module..etc.  2 trucks to normal N.E.W.S headings each....build walls with small cannon hardpoints- sensors every so often - research mortars... etc... within 15 to 25 mins a suitable defensible base can be had. oh!,  and dont forget the AA!!!

* Maybe I'm rusty or maybe I just have to get into a "Click-Fest" mood and employ a bit of "Rush" modus (I thought you hated Rush 'tactics', btw).

rush dont play here - following the above generic rules - have held off mass attacks of tracked heavy cannon followed by hover stuff.

* Anyhow, these are just very preliminary comments, nothing more than an immediate first impression, and thus likely somewhat misguided and unfair to your overall design intent.

nope - they are exactly what i was hoping for....

nope. i dont.  its not finished as there is still some hard edges i want to smooth off.

L8rs, vg

yes - have used that to find the hard edges i was just speaking about. ;)
