MapOne Beta

My 1st attempt at making a okay-ish 1v1 Map! works on 2.1Rc1.

Any suggestions welcome, even if its to tell never to make maps again!
please download and give it a go

Enjoy!

this is just the addon .LEV file... you need to include the .WZ file in your archive for us to be able to load and run your map.

Good map, there's some log errors while i'm playing the map:

Code: Select all

error   : [gwZoneReachable] gwZoneReachable: invalid zone
error   : [gwZoneReachable] Assert in Warzone: gateway.c:1088 (zone >= 0 && zone < gwNumZones), last script event: '<none>'

I am guessing this has occured due to the fact my map contains zero gateways, i could add them in if they are necessary,actually just done that now so i could upload that one if need-be.
The only reason i didn't add them was the fact i remember reading somewhere that this version of Warzone didn't actually make use of them, although it seems to be i have not remembered quite correctly.

if you put a couple GWs in then peeps that are still running earlier binaries of the game can run still play with your map... take you 10 seconds
to do. cliff to cliff on your eastern side and cliff to cliff on your western side... 2 GWs = 3 Zones..(just make sure you doNOT lay the GW over a struct or feature... nothing can be on any tile a GW covers). then no matter what game binary folks are running your map will work.

Very interesting map for head to head play.... i might convert it to run against the latest 'Become Prey' in v.1.10. you could make for a more seamless transition and less of a noticeable artificial pattern in your tertile swaths.... like your cliff-faces, mix in another texture or two, break up the pattern. play around with tile orientations (like setting dirt for random rotation and x/y flip) this will help to make it more "natural" looking... experiment with the Edge Brushes too. just some quick thoughts.

GWs are mostly to facilitate the Ski a.i. in building defenses..... but also serve in island maps and if you have mountain tops that have enough room to build on and can ONLY be reached by air.... unless you have a GW placed in those those area types you won't be able to build or land there. you may have noticed that in the Campaign - Pumpkin didn't put a GW but they did some pre-placements so you could only take 'em out with VTOL passes suffering many losses in the process...

yes, indeed, all the best. you already have a good foundation for a map worth playing and i'm sure
you'll take it the distance with your tweaking.
