Staredit Network

I think my weapon idea was good =/

I'll take a look at it when I get home, I haven't been home yet to actually play your map. (lol)

and i reinstate whatever else says, make it desert not badlands -_-;

ok yall are saying that desert will make it realistic... but last time I checked the map Blood Gulch had grass in it... AND i dont think the desert terrain has grass in it. ill pay u 50$ (some how) if u can show me desert terrain with real **GREEN** grass

Theres are patchs of grass in areas

Grass: 5%
Desert Cliff and Sand: 95%

Which one you think we gonna choose?

actully guys i played the map about an hour ago and just the mountains are the dester terrain pretty much everything else was a mix of alot of grass in the middle part and around blue base...the only really desert like areas are some path-ways and a little around the bases.......the maps like 79% grass an about 21% desert..so i dont kow what im going to do about terrain yet...maybe some of u desert pll out there could make some customs and post them on here so that i can use them??? thnx starcraftsupernoob for pointing that out.

Its not about what it is, its about what people see, maybe 65% of the floor of the map is grass, but all around the walls is desert colored, when people play that map they think it's desert.

If they play your map as badlands, most people would be like.. this isn't like Blood Gulch, its too dark brown and the grass isn't even green.

If you want to make it as realistic as possible you have to realize what people see opposed to how things are -_-;

yea i guess ur right....its just it took me a long time to do the terrain for that map......looking at my TV and back at the pc.......and theres alot of things i cant do the desert that i can with badlands......i dunno....im going to try the desert but if it dont work out....then some1 with better experience can try to do it,b/c im not going to have time to do the map with sckool starting and this being my senior year ill have alot of crap to do...and would some1 PLZ look at that repawn code its pissin me off... , cause i look at other maps and try the respawn code and it wont work on my map

its not that hard....

Player 1 commands 0 units

Create 1 unit at place

I think it's like that. If not, something similar. I'm tired, my text is slanting to the right, I'm going to bed.

Sounds fun. I'll try it out when you finish.

ok, i havnt seen your latest one, i could definatly help you with the stats..
such as for the rocket launcher, the dragoon would be an ok unit for it,
dragoons do 50% damage to small units such as marines, so make it so the dragoon kills the infantry in 2-3 shots but the vehicles in 2, seems about right?
if not, dont bother with the rocket launcher unless your willing to make the rocket a scourge and put in some serious trigger work, well not serious trigger work, but trigger work nonetheless.

I dont have aim, im not on sen all that much, but i check on every other day or so, im a freshmen at highschool, 2nd day and already homework. ...?

for switching weapons:
reserve an isolated spot for weapons switching, scatter the weapons around the map, where they would be on the xbox, have a location follow the players spartan, the spartan will have a default weapon, and its usually a plasma pistol, but in some cases an assault rifle, so if that player is using the plasma pistol and he walks up to the warthog, have a wait of about 30 milsec, something like that, and move the plasma pistol to that isloated spot in the map, and give control of the warthog to that player.

I hope that isnt confusing, it mihgt confuse me, if i didnt just try to explain it.

as far as me helping you with the stats... i could try aim, but i wont be on very often, and i rarely check my e-mail, about every other YEAR...! thats alil long huh?
hmm
maybe i could start up my xbox and see how much times 1 second bursts it would take me to kill anohter player aiming at the torso at about mid-short range?...
bleh! im too lazy, you could try it yourself, i might go do it, but not right now.

it sounds like your map is coming along pretty well, i think youve done well with all the critizism, and all that so far, as far as custom terrain, just go in starforge or scmdraft and mess around with it for a while, the ramps are good to get warmped up with( in all terrains! ), and after the ramps, youll get used to the actual terrain cliffs, and outpost walls etc etc.
mess around wiht putting the doodads in with the palette, making the doodads bigger or smaller, ie, if its a cave, maybe you could make the cave wider or narrower...
catch my drift?
custom terrain isnt easy, have patience withyourself on that, and i think you can pull it off.


***EDIT***
I just went to the bungie site and got their maps for blood gluch, it will help you alot, you'll probably need to increase your mapsize now, lol
