My first 2 vs 2 map (work in process)

Aratonizma · Post by **Aratonizma** » 11 May 2010, 17:45

Hi all, i just want to show u my first selfmade map.

i got inspired by a subreamcommander 2 map and just wanted to transform it for warzone.

the map is working, but in fackt i have problems with pathfinding and the units go off the cliffs ( on higmap i have a hard cut bitween black and white without any types of gray and in flaME the cliffs are specialy marked as cliff)

for building the map i used flaME, for the highmap i used Gimp(shop).

would be realy nice if someone could test my map and give me some feedback how to make it better.

ps: the map was ment to be played with lots of hover and air and massiv mapcontroll, its a 2 vs 2 map ( up side vs down side )

And some screenshots - those would be nice. You can provide full-map overviews by zooming out in flaME and pressing ctrl+1, ctrl+2, ctrl+3 and so on, to adjust the view range.

Good for start. You need more to learn highmap..
Use a paint brush for colors, small high and better looks.Here is your bugs(see images).

What's the problem? Hovers are slow going up cliffs, but they can go up any cliff any other unit can go up.

In trunk they are immobile once they get onto water

jea, but the cliffs shouldnt be accsassable for all units... i dount want the howers to be able to go wherever they want ^^

See what you mean. That should not be. Hovers climbing sheer cliff face is ridiculous - the tech absolutely does not allow for that in RL (Hover is not anti-gravity or Mag Lev). Are you sure you have assigned all your impassable textures as cliff in FlaME ? I'm using the Arizona tile set and this is definitely not happening with Hovers.

BTW, you have many HM level transition artifacting like water textures going up 90 degree cliff face and such.

I like your overall design concept though I've yet to give it a good going over because of this Hover issue.

EDIT: I just checked the default setting in FlaME for Cliff Face in the Rocky Mountain tile set and it is correct. Something weird going on here.

Also.... I think you should place a Command Center for each player. Seems like you can now compile and run a map without doing that. There were a good 9+ years when you could not even compile a map out of the editor without placing a Command center for each player.

Quick follow-up before I hit the hay - long day, need to sleep.

Took a closer look at your map. First in FlaME then with my own compile.

There is nothing wrong with the game binary or FlaME.

The Hovers are behaving as they are because of something YOU did. Basically you used passable "Rubble" textures as impassable Cliff Face WITHOUT re-assigning the default property to impassable cliff. That's it.

Very easy to fix.

Go to your Texture Display Pane.... at the bottom check the box to "Display Tile Types"..... go to the passable "Rubble" texture you used as cliff.... select it.... go back down to the Pop-Up Menu which is displaying "Rubble"... click on it and you will see all the Terrain Types... scroll down to "Cliff Face" and select.... Your "Rubble" Texture has now been re-assigned as Impassable Cliff Face.... Recompile.... problem solved.
