Oops, 25th map by me
2c-Infinity
A rather complicated duel map. Start locations are open for harassment, and a lot of oil is located far away in the mountains.

A little announcement here!
Replying to
this call, i've just recompiled a lot of my maps, so that they had different names. I've also made a few bugfixes on the way, since with my new experience i see bugs in older maps too (: Namely, i've fixed Garden, UrbanTwirl, Snowbridge and Island8. Many other maps were just renamed, so that the name included the latest version number.
If you're hosting one of this maps (

really??

) and want to be sure everybody uses the same version, you can redownload them now.

I wonder how the Addons section is going to deal with all this rigamarole.

Oh, they're working on it (:
The maps will be renamed there too, they just need to be reapproved by the admins (addons are pre-moderated).
(but, yeah, until this happens, only this thread will contain renamed maps)
(and, of course, don't even think of renaming maps without recompiling

won't work)

Hi Hao
Well have you really be forced so much to change the names ??
Fortunately I have learned to make test named maps.. It is clearly visible in links

begining maps have V1 V2 V3 and more

In names, because when I saw failure i renamed it V2

but now I have learned to call a map for example AABBCC

anfd test it with my friends and other players

when map is good I gave it final name

maps later on have V assigns too but those are diferent versions of the original map
The funny thing is that my working copies are called for example
Mero_SquaredV1ImprovedV1Basic.fme
or
Mero_SquaredUpAccessible8withOilOnTheCliffs1.fme
and even longer
and I am the only one who knows what those names means

but not hard to figure it out

but sometimes misleading
Well egh.. speaking about the topic again

were you forced ??

Well,
the link i've mentioned before explains it all (: There's nothing else that made me rename them all (:
Fortunately I have learned to make test named maps.
Well, but i don't feel it actually works for me (: It took me 4 months to find that damned broken med-base-factory on <=Garden-1.02, so i'll never ever again consider my maps "stable" and "finished" (: And i can't keep "beta" mark forever in the map name ... And "V2" is way too much for a tiny texture fix (: So i never wanted to rename the maps. But since i know it breaks the game, i had to do something, so that's how it turned out to be, and i think it's the best way to do things now (:

2c-Highway
A 1vs1 urban 128x128 map. 12 oils per player and a lot of buildings. Advanced bases and scavengers included. Highways speed up your heavy units. Ramps for hovers are available too.




Here is
another preview that shows off all buildings, but i don't include it inline because it shows oil wells as well.
(SPOILER! ^^)

Hi Hao
I absolutely love this map

The higway reminds me of my River Map

to be more precise, about the bridge on it
I like the skyscrapers being so nicely surrounded by roads

somehow the river complets it all

Also scavs fits there very well, placed in appropriate place, near the bridge so contact with them is also almost unavoidable

I see that they have also ruined buildings within their fence

what were they doing ??

the suburbs and let me call it centre buildings are placed greatly, for me dance centre, and with a little more space on the suburbs is just great
Excellent work
You have inspired me

and show me something new
By the way, can you please tell me how to place those pictures in line ?? and how to make them so small ?? do you use Gimp 2 ?? I am asking second time
Bye

We're inspiring each other

This map is certainly inspired by your recent river-and-bridges maps.

I'm uploading them to some free image hosting (i personally like
imageshack.us), which stores the pictures (i.e., they are not attached to the message, but are just links to another site), and image hosting creates these thumbnails
automatically. Yes, i use Gimp, but not for this (:

Yeah, that's a "copyright" emoticon. It should've meant that the phrase before it is copyrighted by someone, but i use it simply to make sure you recognize a
famous quote (:
