Mapping competition

[lord_olafson]

Hi there,

we are going to do a MM mapping competition. The winners map will be in the next patch.

----------------
Rules:
- You have to use the "waterloo 2" module.

- You have to map a "linebattle map", that means, a map wich can be used for linebattles. It has to be big, but not too big. You can place houses, but remember that too much houses arent good, if you want to place houses, place them carefully, that noone is op.

- Only three cannons per team. Cannons can improve the gameplay a lot. For linebattles cannons can be used to add more tactic to the game. If you place cannons, make sure that no team can kill the other at beginning, place the cannons that the last hit is not to near to the enemy team.
----------------

Infos:

All current MM props are saved as "mm_name". After the patch there will be a new competition with new sceneprops.

Scale houses to 1.7, or whatever you like, but if you are in front of a window, there has to be space between the end of you head an the highest point of the window. The best would be if you look at Waterloo map, for the scales.

Cannons need to be scaled and they have to be "inverted" on the x and the y axis. Do not place the "cannonball code only" cannonball in lmap, if you want to have aimable cannons than place the "mm_cannonball" near the cannon.

You have one week time, if you are ready with the new map, send me the map code and the mapfile via PM. There will be an official  poll in one week.

Also a problem with the cannons I had on my map, they need to be on level ground if you wan't to turn them or else they turn into the ground and everything, you will see for yourselves if you try.

I'd give it a shot if I knew how :/

 

[Ellis]

I am going to give this a go.

 

[AlsidairMacDonald]

Good look to everyone who participates. Try your best gentlemen!

Will look forward to see a decent new map.

Best regards,

Wish I had warband, in which case i'd have made a few maps for this. As it is, though, all I can say is GL to those who take part.

 

[Temuzu]

Omgomgomgomgomgomg im gonna win omg

Spoiler

I suppose that Im not allowed to join, would be too unfair for everybody else

 

[lord_olafson]

I suppose that you are not allowed becouse you are a official dev.

 

[Bite Me]

Awwww I want to take part too

 

[oblivion618]

This may seem like a stupid question, but what do you actually use to create maps for warband?

 

[Bite Me]

Open warband, then select mm mod module, then dont press start, press configure, then the "game" tab, then tick the box saying enable edit mode. Then open up a scene, like tutorial or something and press ctrl+E, then alt+enter to enter edit mode and window the game respectively.

 

[oblivion618]

Ah thanks. I knew it was in edit mode, but didnt know what to do from then

here a trailer of my map still beta phase:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If7ssTwtDL4

a map made for little line battles and randoming too(not quite sure what sizes of line battles this could do).

after all Temuzu, every new map will be cool. so i would welcome you.

[Temuzu]

Excellent map there mate I like how it has a bit of every element

 

[oblivion618]

lol I dont think I have the patience to do mapping in Warband. Im too use to the simplicity of Hammer.

oh and Fahausi, very nice map.

Looks really good! Lots of great detail, but it looks not suitable for line battles. But that maybe just what it looks like from the video, maybe it's batter in game.
