Demaris, marine(n)zealot, Xaerock, Kupo, AshaMeD: You guys got any decent maps? I'll have to leave you out of the list for now if you don't reply by the time I get the beta ready.

I don't really finish my maps. I AM working on one right now, and I will finish this one. The problem is, I only started it 3 days ago, so nothing to really look at. I am a competent mapmaker though.

Hey Tuxedo, let me get a map to show you. Try and save me a spot if u can.

I usually do more concept stuff than actual mapmaking. Life gets in the way of me finishing stuff.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tuxedo Templar on 2006-04-25 at 18:50:03

Well I don't doubt you're competant, but unless you actually have a map I can't really know that for sure. And even if I did, the real test for a map maker is more than just being able to come up with ideas or make triggers or terrain: It's being able to turn it into a finished, playable product. You can't really call yourself a full map maker if you can't go all the way.

You say you don't doubt me, yet you also say you can't know for sure? Isn't that doubting?

Just out of curiosity, what would mapping knowledge/skill/whatever have to do with testing?

I have about 6 free hours every night

Sign me up, and it'll be tested by tomorrow

Heres one of my maps. Take into account that its only a test map that is going to be used for Crescent Dyne.

I can vouch for Demaris...

He's got skill, he's active.

Oh yea, i almost forgot. To use the spells, use the shuttle. Order the shuttle once to enter the Selection mode. Move it again to exit selection mode. If theres any questions just tell them to me.

Well, I am interested in testing, here is one of my maps:

Ok Demaris I'll add you. Lethal too. That's about all I need for now anyway. If I need any more testing, I'll open up new slots.

Anyway I'm not saying I doubt your skill, but to be more correct, unless you've completed a map, it doesn't matter to me how much skill or effort you can muster. I learned that the hard way a long time ago.

But I'm not really holding a contest here or anything. I just want to be sure you arn't some random newb. I just personally believe that all the skill in the world ise useless if you can't actually produce something. I hate watching people make stuff they never finish... no matter how good they are (and especially if they are good).

Okay, thanks a lot tux.

I appreciate it Tux. I'll show you my map when I finish it. SCMLoader is going to make it even better.

Oh yeah I wasn't looking lol.
Ok here's the new tester's criteria (sorry everyone): You have to have at least one decent map posted and be at least a regular at these forums (no lurkers). I'm clearing everyone from the list except those I said beforehand could test. To get back on, post a link to something you've made.

If you're not a regular, but you've done some good maps, then post anyway and I'll consider it. Nothing stolen or unoriginal, please.
[right][snapback]472551[/snapback][/right]

Bleh, I'm not a regular and I can't say for sure if I made any good maps. Here's the most recent one I've submitted:

Particle Arena

and then there's this one, which inspired KhaosKreator's sequal:

Mario Kart Battle

Most everything else I have are either: A) In production [check sig] or B) Made back when I was still learning how to map.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tuxedo Templar on 2006-04-25 at 20:29:53

I didn't say good maps only decent ones. I guess I should have bothered to define that but it's not important. All I care about is whether your not a newb, really.

Anyway I'm going to PM you the instructions and private download link now. You can begin testing any time. I'll need you to have run through the whole map at least once by the end of this week, though, and reported everything you've seen.

Ok PMs have been sent out. If you haven't gotten one and you're on the list, please let me know. If any of the links don't work, let me know also.

Ok ok.. First off the first gun dosn't always work only when the units that your killing you is touching you... sometimes you dont lose ammo or you just can't kill him. Second off with the rifal if the units close to you even when your out of ammo you kill the enemy sometimes.

This is all i have gotten.. Its a fun map tho!!! The forest place is hard as hell ^_^

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tuxedo Templar on 2006-04-25 at 23:33:12

Yeah thats the melee attack I added for the rifle. It was mentioned in the tutorial.

And yes, you need to upgrade your rifle or get new weapons to kill certain enemies. I'll try to make that clearer in the map later.

Keep trying it's entirely possible. Takes some figuring out though.

So I suppose were sharing stuff with the public?

One thing I noticed was that the restart egg was owned by you, I kept selecting it when I came back, making me unable to shoot for a short while. Just an annoyance rather then some major bug.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tuxedo Templar on 2006-04-25 at 23:56:21

lol you're not supposed to shoot your own respawn egg.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by AshaMeD on 2006-04-26 at 00:10:22

No i agree with him because when you do the click n drag thing to select your units you select your egg also so you can't do W... Understand?
