Hasn't been an "update" in a while so... Hey all (or atleast to the few who are still lookin in on this thread) I have some drawbacks that I have to report. Here they are:
1. File Size. Went from a 653 KB to a 34.7 MB.
2. WAVS. This one I am using is very quiet, and when I try to increase the volume of it, the quality goes down, alot. (It's about 4:35 long and is whats making the map's file size so big)
3. Ghost Movement Patterns. I know about their regroup pattern, that if they haven't caught you in a while then they each scatter to a corner and then regroup in the middle, but that's all I've found, and I'm pretty sure they actually have "chasing" patterns that I just haven't found yet.
4. I need more BETA testers. I've only got a few at the moment (If you already said in this post that you would test, then I have you down) and I'm gonna need more really soon.
But, I do have a couple of good things to also say:
1. The BETA version will most likely be automatically be called the Final since I am such a picky map maker who tries to get everything perfect before he releases it.
2. It MIGHT be released earlier then mid-June if no problems arise and if I can stay focused.
3. Even with the somewhat bad sound quality and huge file size, the intro is looking very professionaly done and clean. (I changed to having the Intro be sort of like a Tutorial, where it explains all the game options but in a visual and audio appealing way)
4. Might be possible that I am getting a team of people to help me on this, friends and family members who want to see it done also.
All for now, my brother and I are going to work on trying to decrease the file size tonight, so people on B.Net won't be like "ah f*** dis shiz! homez u n00bz to tink some1 will dl dis!"

wohoo this looks really quite good from the sounds of things soo are you in need of any testers atm or are you just wanting to get the map done and then just send it to the dldb for people to download from there?
if you are looking for a tester then sign me up m8

Ok, after taking a break for a couple of days I'm back on track. We fixed the file size, but not nearly as much as we wanted.
It went from like 30MB to around 10MB. In otherwords, WAY too big. Of course, I could screw the intro and do something like a tutorial, but I'm not giving up that easily.
You can see in my Sig I'm working on a couple of other maps (Check 'em out!) and I don't want you guys worrying about the deadline. Like I've said in a different post the Pac-Man Deadline still stands.
I'll keep at it...
That's all for now,

Yeah, that's pretty sad on my part. Eh oh well...
I've decided to screw the wav and just do the tutorial with random Pac-man sounds.
Hopefully, the file size will go lower than the game... lol.
Yup,

Don't be sorry. I'm glad you said something, or hell It still might be like 30MBs...
so 1000KB at the most? Hmmm... Yeah I can do that!

Yeah, I know. It was really just that one wav that was making the file size so big, and since I took it out there shouldn't be any problems for file size anymore.

Haha, seriously? Thats awesome.
Yeah, I don't play the new Pac-Mans either, they completely destroyed the original.
P.S. That's not spam, spam would be something like this...
WHY DID THE EARTH BECOME ROUND!?! or DUDE CRAYONS ARE MY FAVORITE COLOR!
