FS City in Conflict (2-8), Releasing my fifth map.. Options

[Rampastring]

This is an 8-player MP map which I've been working on for 3 months (I started working on this before I released Frozen Canyon)

Size: 140x115
Players: 8
Theater: Temperate
Lighting: Dark teal, red during the ionstorm
Tiberium amount: Medium

This map plays in a yellow-zone city built in multiple islands. Most of the players start from a large island covering the smaller islands, but they need to attack other players from the smaller islands. All the islands are connected with bridges.

Like in my previous maps, there are small amounts of tiberium next to the players, but the most of the tiberium is between the players.

After a long time of gameplay (usually after half of the players have been defeated) there comes a long ion storm and meteors start appearing.

The AI was quite random in my tests: Sometimes it wiped me out in 10 minutes, sometimes it gave a good challenge and sometimes it didn't do anything.

To avoid some gameplay problems, I recommend putting destroyable bridges off (although the bridges have about 7 times more strength than normal bridges do, they can still explode sometimes).

I again recommend you to close your curtains while playing this map

Have fun

The lighting in some spots is too dark to see anything. Other than that, I see no problems.

EDIT: Cliff errors!





I see huge effort put into this, good job! IMO, it is not yet spotlight worthy until the errors are fixed.

Thanks for the comments guys.

BlackieChan, those are just graphical bugs of FinalSun, not cliff errors. I also sometimes think about those being cliff errors, but when I look at it for a while I notice that they're just graphical bugs.

Very, very nice. The only thing keeping me from saying spotlight is checking balance and that the lighting could be improved. The coloured lighting is very intense, and you should only use about 1/3 of the intensity it is now to create a more realistic look. You also got to fix the extra building lighting that I'm not 100% aware of how, but the buildings need to be brighter. Ask Ixith about this.

Well, having intense lighting just belongs to my style.. I personally love intense lighting (to a certain degree).

About the building lighting.. as far as I know it isn't fixable, since there isn't any kind of an "ExtraBuildingLight" key (or at least I do not see a one in Game.exe).

How about adding all buildings to the map in the way
[GACNST]
LightVisibility=5000
LightIntensity=0.001
LightRedTint=1.0
LightGreenTint=1.0
LightBlueTint=1.0

Just very small amount of light with a high range for each building. So the bigger your base, the better you can see in your base, but it should still be hard to see from where the light comes from.
