1. Download the map and take the next available square. TELL US that you are editing the map then. DO NOT download the map and say you are editing if you plan to do it later. Download the map and edit it IMMEDIATELY. After three hours, the map becomes fair game and anyone else wanting to make an edit can do so.

2. You get ONE and only one square. There are 15x15 squares of 16x16 size, plus one taken by the beginning and one for the end, leaving 254 squares for us to fill in. If there is a lack of activity, squares shall be filled in by various members at my discretion.
Levels flow LEFT TO RIGHT, DOWN ONE, RIGHT TO LEFT, DOWN ANOTHER, then repeat. Fill in terrain where you would like your level to "end", so that it bridges to the next level. I didn't do it for you because you may want it to be at a specific point other than right in the middle.

3. You get ONE text message at the start of a square saying that you made it. At the end of your level, leave a trigger for the next player to start their level at. This trigger should add an appropriate number of lives based on the difficulty of your level. Though, I would prefer that people doing very hard levels wait until the end.

4. However we plan out the triggers, there's going to be a LOT of levels. So keep in mind we will need to skip around at times.

5. Unauthorized tampering with anyone else's level without a good reason results in your removal from the project, no questions asked.

6. Please use "MOVE LOCATION" as much as possible. Move some immobile computer owned unit for the "spawn point" to the end of the previous level, or whatever. A level for each location leaves.... two locations.

7. Use whatever editor you like... just make sure it doesn't screw anything up.

8. I need someone to color in the unit names that I've spelled out already.

Expect heavy moderation of this topic simply to keep things organized. Your posts may not last.

Moose, if I want to make hard levels, can I make a level in a separate map and then you personally put it in the bound when you see that we've reached the appropriate level of difficulty ?

And will you controll dificulty somehow ? What if people start making only easy levels ?

I expect this bound will be a piece of cake to beat. I'm too lazy to work on this though. Just a tip, you should probably let people whatever people want to do within their square as long as it connects with the next square/area (as far as the level setup goes).

I can't stop you.

Aww. Its too big to put in my special quilt-looking square (256x256 shows 2x2 tiles as 1 pixel on minimap..) I added stitching and everything. Meh. I call it next!.. except I don't know the exact difficulty of mine.. its mostly luck.

EDIT:
Erm. How many locations do we get? I need 2 odd-shaped and oddly-placed locations and 2 that need to be about 4x4. I guess I will wait for people to make a few locations because I need 9 any-sized locations (I plan on stealing these ones from previous levels. )
GoldenKnight, how many locations you using?

I think everybody should take Marathon Bound 2 as an example.

Please don't do things like you must kill a building to pass to the next level, you can add 1 to a deathcounter by using triggers. Killing buildings looks awful, and not professional if you ask me.

A real bound should not have anything exept bounding itself. Do we have a trigger limit ? I don't think so.

I don't want to make easy levels, so I will have to wait a bit... And a real bound is not just a SC obstacle course. It's a specific obstacle course.

A real bound should not have all that "Dodge the patrolling unit" or "Don't touch the Dark Archon" crap.

Download Marathon Bound 2 (in one of my previous posts, you will find a link). Try it, and you will understand what I'm talking about.

Why on Earth you you need switches and doors ?! Oh, and don't you think that the zerglings are not exactly on the grid?..

It doesen't look decent if you ask me. OK, let's take ISKU's Marathon Bound 2 as an example. Does it have doors/dodging levels/Dark archon levels ?

Of course, so will say that my ideas kill originality... but trust me, a good bounder will thank us if we "abuse originality" a bit...

Seriously, this is SEN Quilt Bound, it should be professional, it will be our face out in the bounding world!

Trigger and location organization needs to be much better if a ton of people are going to be working on the project. I can ask Kenoli maybe to share what we are doing for the (U) Minigame map.

Whos going next??????
