Where to go to test out maps?
page: 1 2
Hey, I'm just getting into map making again after about a 4 year break, and before I post my maps I want to test it some cause I'm sure I'll be making alot of updates, and I'm sure alot of other people want to test theirs to so...

Are there any good channels where people are willing to test out maps, and the people there know what they are talking about? I test em some in the clan channels I go to but most people there (even the ones good at melee) don't really notice much about the map and say it's good or sometimes they'll say stuff is bad, but really don't know how to fix it. So some people on AIM, melee map making clans? servers? anything?

oh and the fact that no one is going to play maps in public games that you've built is really anoying (I play on USEast, but it seems alot of people here are on europe, so I could switch)

Actually the maptesting situation is hard everywhere. By now, we test our maps by ourself. i don' even test my maps (ok atm im not creating any...), but i don't have to, after i'm into mapmaking for 7 years without a real stop now, so i know distances and balancing and stuff quite well. Still noone creates perfect maps without testing them, or at least showing them to other mapmakres like we do here.

Easiest thing is to add people visiting this site to your friendslist online (check out the forums for that) and play with them. Or look for clans who play with you, or similar stuff you already tried.

So, create a map as good as you think you can do it. Show it on BWMN, check ot the comments, revisit the map again and again, and give it the final touch with some testgames with people here. Almost everyone is happy to play with you testing your map and after that testing their map also.

in US East.. the channel to go is TS (Terran Strategy) they usually are pretty supportive... i chill there all the time... ask guys like hasuville and PissPoorMacro to play them.. tell them that u kno nastymarine. other than that .. lgi is right that lots of ppl will give u a hard time about makin maps.. they are all haterz

listoric mentioned it*** my bad

Someone should make a melee map making clan then =P. all the map making clans I know of are UMS, and most UMS people suck at melee, and claim making melee maps takes zero skill :(.
2006, 02, 25 00:41
I support the idea of a mapmaking clan! Of course it would be a clan that would not play in any leagues, so that anyone can be in a "real" clan too.

It would really help if we could concentrate on one gateway, otherwise we will never be able to get together regulary :/

A battle.net bot would be awesome too._.

pro europe

(will be a fight between west and eur i guess^^)
2006, 02, 25 14:37
I*m pro euro too :)
2006, 02, 25 15:08
I'm on east although I can change easily. West has more people on it than eurpoe (I think) but whatever...

Also it can be a real clan, if you want to be in a second clan, just don't join and hang out in the channel (just so we could have gaming leauge and stuff).

I used to have a melee map making team. We were aptly named TeaM ScX. I'd be okay with reviving it again, but I'd prefer it to be on West personally.
2006, 02, 25 18:52
we have a few map makers in Clan IA, but im the only one who really makes melee maps. -_-

yeah i think boongee was in IA once befor.
2006, 02, 25 19:09
so was i
2006, 02, 25 19:57
After playing on both West and eurpoe, I like europe better, easier to find 1v1 games and stuff.
2006, 02, 25 20:29
How about just calling the "clan" BWMN?

Like BWMN-Panschk for example :]
2006, 02, 26 01:38
actually this is an interesting idea ^^
2006, 02, 26 02:11
BWMN[Nyzse] is such a cooler tag =P

oh oh, or Nyzse.scx or Nyzse.scm (did not get the idea from .exe, never even heard of that clan, nope....)
