More maps plz :)
The Isl map has been up a long time!
LARGE maps would be nice & maps w/ snow.
Just my 2 cents
:aok

Maps with snow are not possible until HTC makes a REAL snow tile. The custom ones we terrain editors have will not be accepted in MA terrains.
-
How come?

Snow terrain textures would be accepted but are not preferred because of the increased size of the .res file.
I tend to recall some other reason that snow textures aren't accepted. But for the life of me I can't recall what it was.

Well, I'm still based on the part that custom textures aren't accepted because the map becomes obsolete after a particular game update.

Nope, textures wouldn't become obsolete if they are in the .res file and provided with the map source (required for MA maps). And provided the way the textures are blended doesn't change again.
I think the main reason snow textures aren't accepted is because in order for the terrain to look right you would have to provide custom objects (trees at the very least) and those aren't allowed for MA use.

Correct, you have more of an insight since you've done it, I've stayed with the regular tiles and only played around with the water. Yet do you think we could change the water tile some for MA terrains?
-
Well that sux...
Still would like to see it in the MA's!! The maps w/ the snow rol in the Spec. Events :D
How come we are stuck w/ the maps we have now? I miss the large maps, before we had EWA Green, MWA Purple, & LWA's Orange 'n' Blue.

I haven't messed with textures in ages but I don't see why not. Provided the animated water doesn't have something to do with the original texture.

Hitech mentioned that when the arena formats changed (From 1 MA holding around 700 people to 3 arenas holding what.. 250 people?) the maps that were going to be used would be a smaller size as well. That is until HTC gets used to the new arena format. Afterwards HTC would start using larger terrains again.

Animated Water? I've never seen it before. At least I think.
-
Animated Water screws my frame rate up; but when I'm in a special events scenario it doesn't effect my frm. rate… go figure.

Off-Topic for a moment, how do you activate "animated water"? I'd like to see what it looks like, although I heard it's nasty.

Clipboard-Options-Graphic Detail - Tick animated water.

Option isn't there for me. There is however an empty spot, where that option could go, it's just not there.

ummmm [shrug]

Load a terrain, any terrain. After it loads, options is the 4th item down on the left hand side of the menu area on the clipboard.

I did exactly that the first time around, it simply isn't there. Nemeth told me that he didn't see it until he got a new video card for Christmas.

just go to 8 player, a lot of maps there, it would be a waste of money to not play in combat tour since ur paying $20.00 a month. but there's a map in 8 player called R Africa, it have cool skins for the gvs and planes and it's real big.
