Title: my new map
Post by: rogerdee on July 09, 2007, 04:41:35 PM

Most front line airfields are to far apart. Most are at 50 miles+.

To much strat, unless you have 2 zones per country.

Double check the lower left country. Compared to the others, it looks to be spread out.

i know i was looking at that but it dont look so bad in the te.

What do you use to build a map like that? Not the TE, right?

When I build map in the TE..it looks like the terrain.

do u mean the clipboard map?

i use the terrian editor but when it says make map (as in map for clipboard)all i would get was a bitmap of the sea with no terrain.

Skuzzy kindly sent me one of his home ade programs to make the clipboard map which works perfect every time for me.

for some reason my laptop doesnt like the map making program that comes with the terrain editor.

Thanks to roy i can now play with the map how i want with out any problems.

In addition to NHawks comments (although I don't see as much of an issue with airfield placements), your TT in the lower left is problematic, in that when the yellow VB is gone, there's no way for the country to get it back.

Edit -> I just realized I was looking at the spawn point lines wrong, and I see what you intended (I think).  I doubt it would work well though with what will quickly be surrounded by orange airfields".

I think you might run into a problem with "even-zies". The southern country has its bases spaced out, the NW country has them close, and the NE country has a mix. I'm not sure how it will "play", but it looks to me where who ever ends up with the southern country wil be complaining about the "flight times" being too long and the NW about being too tight, when the enemy hit their mainland.

Just my opinion, but  Hey! any new map would be ok with me !! Keep at it !

still playing with the base spacing ect ect but we all know it will end up as  a gang bang as soon as the map would come on line.

just like every other map we have .but in theory as the map rotates evey side should get the same problems at least 1 out of 3 times they play it.

I understand what your saying, and I myself don't have a problem with it, but you know the "community". I have no evidence, but I think thats one of the reasons Mindinao map isn't in the rotation, as well as why Fester's newest map didn't make it in.

Maybe before you spend too mach time on it, send a note to Skuzzy to check the thread and see if he thinks its got a chance to get in.

I also would like to test that program, it may be the problem with my maps. My emails are Hotmail (Jack_Daniels67@hotmail.com) and AOL (wesclntn@aol.com). If neither of them work, or you just don't have time, don't worry with it. I'll find out some way of fixing this problem.

Title: latest update
Post by: rogerdee on July 21, 2007, 02:45:24 PM

ok heres the latest on the map

i figured out how to do the roads with out having the trucks floating in the sea checked all the spawn points and the airfields so not alot more to do.


even sent in a jpeg to roy at htc to ask if it is sutiable for the main arenas or if not why not so i hope to get some fed back from them next week.

been trying it off line and haven't found any problems,ive been doing like it says check and recheck as i go along so hopefully i won't have hardly any bugs

My only worry about that would be that (that I notice at 3:50 AM) Orange seems to have a massive advantage over the other two countries just in distance between the front and very-rear lines.

Rog,

I was looking over your map and I didnt see any radar factory Strats for any of the sides..

Also I only see one city strat for what I assume is rooks (se corner).. The others have 2 so I am assuming two zones each side...

I may have missed these but I dont think so...

Looks Good...:aok

:(  i knew something was missing but couldnt see what,anyways they are added now  but i was waiting for a answer from htc as to if this sort of map would be suitable for the main arena.

 gona do some more work to it and change the lower aera when it gets cooler here.now the rain has gone its up to 27 degres so time to put pc away for the day
