Forum - main
I put msg on ICCup forum...
page: 1 2 3 4
Hey!
(They deleted the post somewhy...)
I put a thread to iccup forum about BWMN. I mostly talked about adding our maps into mots. I represented few maps of ours, and they liked them. I told about our maps being mots in PGTour etc etc.

Well, the main thing is that one of the "big" admins from iccup sent me a pm:

"Hi

Im ICCup.Yello-Ant, project director of ICCup.
I look on maps what you show on forums. They not really balanced. But i think we need talk in icq mb about others maps. or Build some maps only for ICCup."

So, now I have his msn, and I can talk with him. I would like to deal this thing with ICCup, but if admistration desides that they want to talk with Yello-ant, I guess it's fine ;P.

But think; we now have a great oppertunity to get atleast few of our maps to be played!

Discuss!

I don't like the ICCup admins. The russian/ukrain/etc. admins are pretty much idiots.

I don't care if one of our maps gets MotS.
2007, 08, 07 23:50
ICCup wants "a mapping team"!!! From us!!!

can you team build some maps for ICCup only?"
i mean
i say what type of map we need
and what need be on it
and what NO need to be on it"

I said yes already :)

"how many time you need to build 4 players maps with ours conditions ?"

I said in a hurry, 10 days.


Seems like BWMN is getting to ICCup!!!!!


So about the mapping team: We need to collect about 5 mappers, the best and most active we have!
If you want to be in, post it here!

I still would like to be as an admin/or a mapmaker in this project with ICCup, hope it's fine for you.

RaDiX you are godly.

For the team I reccomend, in no particular order, Testbug, Flothefreak, Nastymarine, Nightmarjoo, and uh RaDiX.

I reccomend myself because although I'm no good mapper, I'm decent at playing sc, so I can help with testing, and can theory craft all night long along with some testing :)

I reccomend flothefreak because he's a long time mapper here, has good ideas about mapping, and a lot of experience, and I know he's active.

I reccomend Nasty cuz he's been here a while too, he's ok at sc, and is a decent mapper too.

I reccomend Testbug because he's good with designs, and has a lot of good ideas with mapping, even for being such a new mapper I think he understand a fair amount about mapping.

I reccomend RaDiX cuz I think he could also help with testing, and he likes doing innovative ideas, and he's the gosu who got iccup recognition.

Also, all of the above are on friendly terms and are active.



Radix could you give me/us his msn?


Scout lol, aside from the racism, I would have to agree that the admins don't seem too great, but that iccup is the new pgt, so getting more bwm maps there would be great.


Radix did I mention you're godly? :)

Please update us on the map requirements so we can start thinking up shit already.
2007, 08, 08 00:17
I would reccomend finding LGI for the mapping team, but I think atleast half of the others I mentioned don't/won't get along with LGI :(
2007, 08, 08 00:20
his msn is this: Yello-Ant@hotmail.com

Now he wants ~4 maps. 2 (4)player maps, should be "classic" (no spells, no inverteds, no neutral buildings). Should be good for 2v2, ok for 1v1.

And 2 (3) or (4) player maps balanced for 1v1.

PS: the maps can be old maps, and he is very careful
with balance, almost every map i showed him (10+) were bad, only 2 of them were good "with many modifications."
2007, 08, 08 00:33
Radix show me the maps you showed him. Also from scanning the database with testbug we found very few maps we thought were halfway decent even with massive modification lol.

And thanks.
2007, 08, 08 00:58
I showed him every (4) player map's from trcc, and starparty (except maps like sattarchasm, arena etc.)
He only "liked" Obession 1.1, and The lost halo...
2007, 08, 08 11:24
hehe i also talked with them aobut same thing :D
just it was in the day when the antihack was released and we stopped talking cause they were in trouble because of all the bugs and the people flooded the admins channel to start whining ^_^

2007, 08, 08 12:00
Sounds like he is very full of himself. So he sees massive imbalances on 90% of trcc/starparty-maps by one quick glance at a map? BS

You know how to make maps, he does not. So how does make that him the one to be able to judge what a good map should look like?

(Balancing is terribly overrated anyway, imo). Gameplay is much more important.

8 minerals main, 6 minerals nat = imba
all expos with ~6 minerals = imba

90% of bwmn maps = imba

as i allways told u ^_^

the most players want to play a map which is easy to understand, like luna, tau cross, longinus and python. everything which isnt common ("backdoor ramp" to the nat @ gaia) makes it difficult and players dislike it :D
yes there are alsoplayers which like maps like peaks or hitchhiker, but they are only 10%

he will like for sure:

Moon Tear
Eres
The great Phase
Prelude of Light
2007, 08, 08 12:38
nightmarjoo, u said, that u should be in the team, because u arent the best mapper, but a decent melee player. so, why dont u guys make a mapper team, with 5 decent mappers, and a testing team, with at least 3 ppl, 1 from evry race?!
2007, 08, 08 13:12
@Crackling: He didn't like moon tear, he will not like eres (inverted ramps). About those two I dunno.

Oh and yes, he is full of himself. But actually he knows something about mapmaking, he was a mapmaker back in the day...
2007, 08, 08 13:17
python also has inverted ramps :<
2007, 08, 08 13:30
-.- but that's a korean pro map... He said he wants a classic-style map, something like gaema
2007, 08, 08 14:07
First of all i wanna say, that radix is great!!!
Mappers for the team:
- flothefreak
- testbug
- ProtosS4ever (for real!)
- Nasty
- dunno, think all of the other members are at the same level.

Think he doesn't want any map. If you don't use inverted ramps, the most maps get pretty unbalanced. You have to make no highground for perfect balance. Like the idea, but not the jury. :/
2007, 08, 08 14:30
well his first two maps shouldn't include inverted ramps... About the others he didn't say anything...
2007, 08, 08 14:58
hmm.. I would say the mapteam could be this:

Me (I know yelloant maybe the best now)
flothefreak
NastyMarine
Nightmarjoo
Testbug

I think this could be the team? Now we just need to select maps, plz give suggestions!!
2007, 08, 08 15:01
i will test the maps with nightmarjoo xD
2007, 08, 08 16:26
there is a poll on iCCup now, about which maps, ppl prefer. I bet its for this :)
