Hello. I've mainly done .ini editing until I went through my folders and found an old map I wanted to finish. I started over again because the map had the wrong height setting.  I've so far done much to the lower/southen region of the map. Story: An extinct volcano stands but, due to over population and tiberum, a tib' vainhole is in the crater and because of a hydroelectric dam, a petrol station and a gypsy camp, the place is of real danger. In order: Petrol station and camp, brige and player 2 start, old GDI base and more of player 2 start, dam and then mini map with player 1 start and special cannal (I will explain when map is finished). EDIT: Sorry for bitmap pics! Also, pic 4 has player 4 start. Pics are backward so first pic in post is last pic.

It looks like a basic map I would've done years ago. To improve it, here are some suggestions: 1. Water doesn't run uphill  2. Avoid line-straight cliff walls, try to make them more natural with curves (not too many, exaggarating is never good either) 3. Be careful when you place shore tiles, I can already see errors in the shoreline. 4. Old C&C1 building ruins don't look too good on the rocky ground. Try not to fill an area with only one ground type, but use a combination of, for example, clear, sand and rocky. 5. Try to make the Tiberium fields less bland. You can select different Tiberium overlays from Special/Overlay -> All Overlay. Overlays TIB01-TIB12 are the green Riparius Tiberium (TIB13-TIB20 and TIB2_13-TIB2_20 are used for the slopes, be careful when placing these, because it may crash the game if done wrong), while TIB2_01-TIB2_12 are the blue Vinifera Tiberium. 6. Tiberium doesn't look good on paved road. It cannot grow there on its own, so it doesn't make sense why Tiberium should be there at all. 7. Slopes. Same with cliffs, try to make them more natural by making them less rectangular. Also, I recommend you to add more slopes/ditches around to make the terrain look less even Now there's a few  Good luck with your map  EDIT: 600th post!!! :O

Thanks for the commp . QUOTE (Crimsonum @ Feb 27 2010, 07:51 AM)  It looks like a basic map I would've done years ago. To improve it, here are some suggestions: 1.

I was just afraid I would get the wrong tib. (THere are some red Tiberium, green Tiberium but are blue in game and others). QUOTE (Crimsonum @ Feb 27 2010, 07:51 AM) 6. Tiberium doesn't look good on paved road. It cannot grow there on its own, so it doesn't make sense why Tiberium should be there at all. I tried to go for an "out of control" look but I'll keep it till later I think. QUOTE (Crimsonum @ Feb 27 2010, 07:51 AM) 7. Slopes.

QUOTE Can you? can you tell me what they are please, thanks. Just look next to the waterfall in the topmost picture QUOTE I tried to go for an "out of control" look but I'll keep it till later I think. Well, you can break the road from that section, or use the road tiles partially covered in dirt, to give the impression of spreading Tiberium

QUOTE (Devestator @ Mar 28 2010, 10:27 PM) You only gave the billboard that name to try and impress TibWeb.
"Welcome To TibWeb Your #1 Source For Everything Tiberium!" I didn't actually, I did it because I wanted to try something I have not done before which other mappers did. Besides, so what, Tibweb needs acknowledgement from other communities .

QUOTE (Devestator @ Mar 29 2010, 10:14 PM) Ooh I know many things I could do to my maps that others haven't...  And they are, what exactly... Any way, on topic like. QUOTE (BloodReign @ Mar 28 2010, 09:53 PM) last picture you use a building that is only meant to be used in the snow terrain set and will not appear ingame because of it. I have addressed that problem and it will be fixed. QUOTE (BloodReign @ Mar 28 2010, 09:53 PM) tib 3 is for red (aboreus) tiberium but requires a rules edit for it to be distinguishable from vinefera. also it has a higher value than riperius or vinifera so you should use it in lower quantities. How can you tell? Seriously, I have had trouble with the tib and will be fixed, though it may just be the same tib type.

I was hoping not to use red tiberium, but anyway... I played it on skirmish with unpatched TS,FS and this happened... 1. Some tib was blue instead of green. 2. the mold LAT was still square. 3. lighting was ok but the red lights were too bright. 4. Map was way smaller than the blue line suggested ,so perhaps I may make the map size bigger and extent the blue line 5. Because nod in my mod [ ] was still in work the AI got two MCVs and built two of every thing and more so then their harvesters got stuck. The map however has gone on hold for now because of my mod needing members more than just me.
