Your bringing out maps too fast... you gotta take your time, plan them out properly and detail 'em like hell... and not plant random monuments. Take your time and make a believable, detailed, alive and coherant place to battle. Only then you will have created a great map.

[the50]

i did lol that monument is there just cause its like in the middle of the map and also there arnt many snow uban buildings and it fits great where its at though

Remember what I said in your other topic?

I for one, HATE blocky lighting, and even in RA2, it is possible to avoid it... I recomend not adding much lighting if it's going to turn out like that, cause it just looks rediculous. While you do normally run out of buildings quickly while making maps with cities, it's understandable that you'd want to use something that hasn't already been featured elsewhere on the map, but PLEASE! Try to refrain from using monuments and rare structures

As for the buildings... Well, the theatre is snow, so all buildings used should only be the snow buildings... Another thing that I hate on maps is maps that buildings are used that're not supposed to be used on the designated theatre. It just looks silly. Not enough varation with LAT either. In the middle, you could use some grass or dirty snow, just for the sake of making it look better. Also, add rocks. One last thing: When you're placing cliffs, please try to make them look realistic on natural maps, or maps with natural surroudings. Don't make them straight, It looks really stupid, In my opinion. It's nice to see an active mapper though.

You can only get better by following constructive critism... Unless there Is something wrong with you.

lmao maybe there is

[some_weirdGuy]

you know what i think would make it better?

some small island things out in the water, looking on the map, theres nothing out in the water


and if its Christmas, why don't you have lots of different coloured lights around the place, that might be fun.



lol, just had an idea, make an all snow map, with the monument in the middle, and its could be a survival map, if you know how to make modded style maps (call the monument the north poll, lol) and have different colour lights all over the map(well not all over the map, just some places)


that would be fun, defend the north poll till Christmas(so the timer in the bottom says "-whatever time- till Christmas")


ok, i admit, im being silly, but it might be fun, you never know

hey that sounds interesting

[some_weirdGuy]

so do you know how to ini edit on maps?(i certainly dont, lol)
(you could add new units through that, which is always fun, or jut rename everything to more Christmas-y names)

[the50]

ya ini editing maps is simplyy easyy lol just open your map in Wordpad now you know how to edit lol

[Aro]

(you could add new units through that, which is always fun, or jut rename everything to more Christmas-y names)

Re-Naming can only be done by editing RA2(MD).csf. The only problem with adding .csf's with a skirmish map, Is that the RA2(MD).csf does not transfer over online games.

[some_weirdGuy]

well, if you make any modded new units, then they can have their own name



i thought it could be done, as on modded maps, you put your mouse over things and they say "Missing: -whatever-"(maybe thats cause they are completely new units, just they have to use the same graphics as already in game?)

[Aro]

well, if you make any modded new units, then they can have their own name

Only by editing RA2(MD).csf...
Unless you want it to be something stupid like, 'Missing:Building Bla Bla'... Which In my opinion, looks rediculous.

[the50]

yes the missing crap is gayy,but like he said modding a map is not good when playing online games when u edit the csf file, so pretty much all that can be done is the only people that can play it right is on this forum or wherever else i post it
