Title: Create a Water Map competition
Post by: O4L on March 04, 2017, 09:34:22 AM
Alright here is the deal, coming up April 23rd will be the 2vs2 Water map tournament. I want to make a fun little competition. Submit a water map that has at least 5 starting positions and submit it to the Cartography & Custom Maps section of the forum by April 1st. If you already have a map created I will allow you to submit it as well if you choose or if it is already in that section let me know that's your pick. 

After April 1st I will begin setting up polls where the players here can vote on which map they think is better.

After the voting ends and we have our winners, two maps will be played on, streamed, and uploaded to youtube in the first two games of the Water Maps finals in the 2vs2 tournament by four top players.

GL HF!

Not actually an entry cos it's not really a water map, but your "river of war" did remind me of this one I did a while back... it's got 4,5,s6,s9,11,s12,12 and mid.

There's water added, but the bases have been re-arranged too... like look at s9/s6. Never played it, but it could be interesting to start in a familiar base but discover the world has moved slightly when you go outside. Its 4-player.

LOL...  ;D I know ur just trolling (you bastard) heh, but for the benefit of anyone else reading this, no it can't be used as any sort of map hack, it only uses the normal screen display that WC2 generates so unexplored areas will still be black and where you don't have vision there will still be fog. Full map vision views like this one I have done in single player mode using the old "on screen" cheat code.

... and of course no I am not djinhkahn and I wrote that program yesterday. Top points for comedy though Tup that actually did make me lol.


oh and here:

Maybe this one should be played on low res to encourage people to use the oil patches incase their castles/blacksmiths keep getting killed? Also fun for mages :P

Yeah it would be good to force the water aspect into the game somehow, otherwise it will just be a ground battle.

I think it could balance ok; 4/5 are more susceptable to towering but have better access to exps, whereas 11/12 are probably more secure but only really have s12 for a "safe" exp, grabbing s9 from the top is still quite feasible, but is unlikely to go unchallenged. I think mid would end up playing a big role.

I'm thinking of it as fixed order tvb for some reason, but it don't think it needs to be.

Oh, there really was a DjinhKhan program? Never came accross that one.

He was probably using the other internal buffer where WC2 draws the background graphics before it overlays the fog, but that one does't have any units on it, they are rendered in the main screen buffer. The background buffer is why you can sometimes see where trees are being cut down even if its under fog.

Looking at your map nuhertz, I think you may need to set peons in place of where your town halls are on there in order for it to play out. Host settings will be melee, one peon only.

here are two unique 8p water maps i'd strongly recommend for the tournament. i found them in old map packs. for designer credits see pudbrowser SS. the second map canals has a date modified of june 1997.

attachments 1 & 2 - pudbrowser SS
attachments 3 & 4 - minimap SS from SS Grabber

jump HERE (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,3047.30.html) for the pud files.

pud files.

jump HERE (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php?topic=3047.msg51394#msg51394) for PudBrowser and SS Grabber (blown-up minimap) files.

NOTE you will see me host the attached agents traps.pud as agent's traps.pud on server. they are identical but the forum attachment upload does not like apostrophes in file names.

Hi all,

just saw this thread!
Great idea Xurnt, could you postpone the deadline to Sunday (2/4) night? So I can have the weekend to make a map?

I haven't make a map for years now!

Cheerios

Post by: Igognito on March 30, 2017, 03:49:46 PM
Well it was easier than I remembered :-P
I went to try make a map, and actually finished making my map in a bit more than an hour!

Of course it is not tested so it is on version 1 right now.
I will try to test it and I might update the map with a newer version.

It is supposed to be a volcano crater that has turned to a swamp...
I will also upload it on the mentioned forum section.

Cheers

I am having problems with the ss grabber too, it is grabbing ss but is taking shots and merging them together/

If somebody can help me get ss grabber shots after the polling post is made , it would be great to so I can edit the post and add the pics in. I will have all maps entered attached as a file when ready.
