[Accepted] Map Submission: FFA-FloatingRuins

[Super_Goku]

so third time good time I hope?
the map is 128x128x30
the spawns are the 8 little towers around the big island
the ground under the islands needs to become gravity kill and there needs to come op air around the spawns (against spawnkilling)
and the map needs to be indestructible
dat. file: http://www.mediafire.com/?rllwan8bujc514w
thumbs up :D

 

[superstein]

Yes
Oh, and one thing - Maybe the ground should be a little more terrained and less /z'd (if you need help with that I'm always here )

 

[Super_Goku]

if you wanna help with that i'm on scotties server now :D

 

[superstein]

Sure thing :D

 

[Super_Goku]

ok I updated the dat. file and here are a few new screenshots:

not a lot of changes but with the advise of superstein I did some dirt away at the edges and made a few fallen pillars in the middle to outflat it a bit :D

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

It does seem good, but to me it lacks something. A certain element which makes the map stand out. It just seems that the map is a little too flat. I can imagine running across it and pistoling people until the end of a round. Just me, but if a few hills or depressions in the ground were made it would be a whole lot better.

 

[DJJonosound]

Too flat. Add some random lumps and bumps and its all good.
Edit: Why the hell did someone disagree with this... its pretty standard stuff these days and we generally do not accept maps that are flat without them having some terrain added to them -_-

 

[Super_Goku]

so for the third time :D the dat. file is updated
I made 10 little hills on the big island and made the pile of stone from the fallen bridge bigger .
I hope it is okay now. if not feel free to say what must be edited

Even though they don't play down there, could it look... a little bit more prettier?

 

[balloon98]

I agree with Marn I think it would look better (just my input not forcing anything) if you put like a road with cars or something there

 

[Super_Goku]

I will try what did you have in mind?


EDIT: balloon just ninja'd me, a road with cars doesn't fit for me in this map because the rest of the map is old stuff

EDIT2: Is it okay if I just make the floor of the map water.
I took a look at that and it looks pretty good

 

[Super_Goku]

ok so I made the floor of the map water (2 layers)
and a little birdy told me it looked okay.
also dat has been replaced

 

[hihihilolHI]

I think the map looks cool, but the hills look kind of unnatural. And could you add in some depressions in the ground? (or is the floor too thin?)

 

[Super_Goku]

The floor is 2 laters so a depression would mean a hole in the floor and sorry to say it but I think the hills look okay I couldn't make them bigger cause then they would touch the walk ways and smaller: then they would be to small

I think your improvements have certainly been improvements. There are a couple of things I'm worried about, the overall size of the the map is quite big, but it's not too bad.

Something I feel would greatly improve the map as a whole is instead of the island being 2 layers thick, perhaps making it more of a floating V.
Just a bit more shaped like this:

would be a big improvement and make the island look a lot more natural.
You've done it with the little islands, but it would make the map better as a whole if you extended this to the main island too.

Well I was thinking about that but the distance between the water and the island was to small
however I could ask my friend Calfish to remove the last three layers of bedrock after that I will try my best

 

[Calfish]

I've done it for you, don't hesitate to ping/tag/pm me when you need any further help with your map.

[Super_Goku]

Thanks mate you're a real help!

EDIT: Ok so the dat. file is replaced
I places vines (leaves) everywhere on the side
I made 10-13 extra levels the rest you can see on the screenies

 

[Alkatraz]

Map added, with a couple of changes. Towers removed and map size changed from 128x128 to 96x96.

With the spawns, there is a little broken bridge over to another island with a portal on. If you jump in the portal, you get 6 seconds of grace (invincibility), alternatively you can just jump in the water and get 3 seconds of grace.
