Original map created by speed_limit but is being upgraded by me, Joshgt2. Here are some version information:

Version: 9.2

Play in either single on multiplayer mode of 1-4 players to defend the middle of the map filled with civilians and not let any type of monster get though. Are you up for Maze Defense?

Features

•New compressed music that will cut the download time down and still have the nice music during gameplay
•Changed tileset for a new, different, atmosphere building field
•Changing player colors. This must be done since the tileset is changing
•Adding more levels
•Each player will have the controls to do certain things in the game
•Updating enemy health to scale

to be continued...

Okay so did you actually make a new map or are you just upgrading the old versions? Since I tihnk you should get speed_limit's consent if you haven't already. Cheats eh...

Trees won't really stop people from stealing kills if the players have vision, unless you mean by keeping men from going to the other guy. The bunkers will still see the units and attack them. But if the trees do work, go for it.

Have heroes you can buy. Like a hydralisk or a wraith. Maybe something to scare people, like a hallucinated 9999 kakaru that flies staright to the end, but is killed by a trigger before it reaches.

What do you mean by bunker cheat? Free bunkers? A half built supply depot wall?

Good Idea with the whole trick system at the end. This will be something good that I can add to the game.

The bunker cheat allows the player to build bunkers but also allow the fighters (marines, bats, etc) to exit the bunker. Ussualy the bunker makes it so you can get the people out of it but this cheats makes this whole thing possible.

The trees do not make it so that your kills can't be taken but it adds a barrier for each player to go by. That's why I make it seem like they stop the other people's kills.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will update this with the things that you people said.

ADDITION:
updated the first page to some new things that I was thinking of over a period of time. This is also a bump as well...

Are you remaking the hole map?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Joshgt2 on 2005-10-19 at 18:45:21

Remaking? no, the terrein is kept the same as well as the levels but I have been adding some things to make it have some better gameplay.

-I have updated the first post-

This is not a "fix". I am adding alot of things in this in which speed_limit did not add when he first made the map. I am making alot of additions so that would be considered a upgrade. In every version of this map I always added something new and I hope that after version 8.8 that there will not be much more to add since I got almost everything (in my opinion). This is also not to satisfy my taste for the map but other people as well like the modifacaitions I have been making to the versions that I have released.

so your making more bunks available??
Which Maze Defense terrain did you keep? because there were some nice mazes and some of them were just weird lol

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Joshgt2 on 2005-10-25 at 19:50:16

That's right. I am adding more bunkers but I have found that the bunker cheat can also be used on the new bunkers as well . I think I am going to have to put a trigger system so that the bunker cheat can't be done. But on the smae token, as long as you bought the people in the bunker then I guess that is fine.

With the terrain thing. Right now it is set on jungle. I might make other versions with different types but the original has always bin the jungle theme.

-Made updates to first post-

ADDITION:
I just got done making some major addjustments to the map and the first post as well. The map progress as of now is at 80% complete

are they still staying just cloaked, or you making it invisble bunekrs now??

just my opinion, id make it stay just cloaked, keep the tradition going

The bunkers are always going to become disabled like they are in every other version of Maze Defence. The only way they become enabled after you build them is by doing the bunker cheat.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by I-X-King-X-I on 2005-10-28 at 18:48:23

if you mean right b4 the bunker is about to be disabled you click unload thats not a cheat really...

not like you can cheat with it anyway, now you just have 3 units running around

anyways if you make bunkers instant build they cant do that

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Joshgt2 on 2005-11-01 at 16:40:47

That is correct when you are talking about the instant build.

When doing the bunker cheat you do not quickly unload the units. You actually have the bunker enabled and the units can go in and out of the bunker as much as they want. It is a lot of fun and sometimes a really helpfull tool. You will see sometime. I am going to make a replay based on making the bunker cheat work.

ADDITION:
Can someone tell me on how I would do something like this...

Nuke at a certain point:
*Player 7 controls both a command center and a nuke silo.
*I make it so that it take 2 seconds to make nuke and costs $0
*You buy a tank and where ever you turn it into siege mode a location centers on it and a ghost, with the ability to nuke enabled, owned by player 7 appears at the siege tank.
*The ghost then launches the nuke at the location the ghost is at and the nuke launches from the silo to the destination point.
*remove the tank and the ghost leaves when everything is done.

I tired doing this before and it did not work. I can make a tigger so people can see what I am doing but I am doing this whole thing correctly? The AI scrips of loading the nuke silo and launching the nuke missel is on but i don't know why this won't work. This is one of the major things that is being upgraded in this map and I need to find out how it all works

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Joshgt2 on 2005-11-04 at 15:18:36

I did not steal anything. If you look at the map it says right in there that it was made by speed_limit but edited by myself. I am always giving credit to him but I am just saying the newest version is by me. I am not stealing this map from him at all.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by RedNara on 2005-11-04 at 18:31:58

then say created by speed_limit and edited by you..

If you look at my first post you will notice that I have speed_limit's name on there and that in my maps I also put that he was the original creator and that I am the version upgrader. I don't want to take his map and I am not going to take his map. It is his map but I am making better upgrades for it but still giving him credit for making the whole thing in the first place

ok sorry ill stop flaming now... about how you stole the map or not my bad i didnt read that part

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Joshgt2 on 2005-11-04 at 23:09:40

I would never steal a map from someone. Sorry for all of you people that thought I did but I didn't steal it from him.
