Map Access

BWM Concept Event

deadline to enter maps: 2006,01,31 (Year, month, day)

Ok here's the concept.. You have to make a map that supports 2-3-4 players with dimensions of your choice: 96x96 / 96x128 / 128x96 / 128x128

There's only 1 crucial requirement:

The natural / main entrance setup must look like this.. You can use widen ramps or put the gas anywhere you want ( behind or in front )..

There's no restriction about the titleset and you can use neutral buildings.

About the titleset, I know some titlesets are more difficult for inverted ramps, well just avoid those :P and for those who don't know where to look to get the inverted ramps, it is in Broodwarmaps.net database marked as
exemple: (0)Jungle Ramp

Just make sure it will be balanced with the rest of the map.. and be creative !

I had this concept for over 2-3 months and I couldn't end with something good, so there's your chance to finish it!! I want to see how much a concept can differ from different artist :)

PS I don't mind if you put color and stuff in the topic to make it cooler :P

Good luck to everyone!

Yay my first competition :)

lnept

can inverted ramps be used in staredit?

trcc

Once the inverted ramps are added to your map, you can always comeback in staredit and work on your map without any problems. You just have to be careful when you retouch areas close to the ramps, some tiles might dissapear... and you have to redo the ramp again ( not a big deal )

lnept

yea , how do i use the files in the map database and put them onto staredit? there isnt a copy/paste in staredit, at least i dont think..

Nightmarjoo

Ugh, I don't like making inverted ramps. That setup looks like it favours z =/

Antares

inept: only in scmdraft/starforge

spinesheath

it's TILEset, not tiTleset Oo

So, where is the main base supposed to be in your example? tiop left, top right, or bottom?

trcc

Well the main base is in top left in this example

If you don't like making inverted ramps, you can try making it without but it would only work in 1vs1 map though.. Like top position vs top position only.

Well if it looks like it favours z, find a way to make it balanced ;O by widen the entrance or anything else you can think of.. Don't base your maps on my example silly spinesheath and thx for telling me it's tileset :PP

spinesheath

"silly"? why?

And... Not based on your example... Isn't this contest about creating a map based on the concept of your example?

trcc

LOL silly means idiot ok lol that's not what I though thx google D:D:D:D:D

Well yes based on my example, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same patern.. You could have the natural above the main entrance instead of below like in my example... the map doesn't have to be in corners like mine.. Sorry, I'm not that good in english, it makes it more difficult for me to explain and more difficult for all of you trying to understand my meanings :P :O

flothefreak

oha i have an old drawing with a map showing exact this natural setup. i never executed the drawing because i dont map anymore :/

trcc

Well this is your chance :D

flothefreak

i am so close of doing it:

No------------------------------X---------Yes

i just have to find the drawing, and i'll be even closer :D

Nightmarjoo

lmao trcc what did you think silly meant ><

trcc

ahahah "petit coquin" in french

:PP

Antares

i have no plan for this nat setup.. only main :D
