[FS] A City Consumed (2-4), 28...it's here for the new year.. Options

[Ixith]

so....here's a map for you all to enjoy once your hangover is over...

EDIT: Forgot to remove the reveal map trigger that we typically use for pic taking without the shroud. Went and took the trigger out and re-uploaded...sorry about that. (Though i suppose anyone with finalsun could just easily go in and click disable or remove it themselves or even in notepad they could do that)

Map Info:
Name: A City Consumed (2-4)
Map Maker: Ixith
Map Size: 100x100
Players: 2-4
Theatre: Temperate
Info: This city doomed by the tiberium that surrounds it has made for the perfect spot to harvest the plentiful tiberium.
The region is great for 2v2 battles or free for all. There is plenty of build room for full tech battles and should be more than enough tiberium to make your armies rich. There are quite a few triggers put into the map such as day/night loops, evacuation for the civilians, and various other stuff concerning tiberium life.

Story: The City once known as Strishnin suddenly found itself closed in by tiberium. In fear they turned to GDI for help. Now as commanders of both GDI and Nod reach the city limits, GDI is sending out evacuation transports for the civilians left alive. The only path left for this is city is to be consumed by tiberium and war.

What a map Ixith! It looks realy cool.

From what I can see it would be a fun map to be on.

I might have a review on it if you want...

[Daroach]

Heres the review...

Layout: 9/10, it was very well done but the city was crowded with buildings though but great.
Triggers: 9/10, the triggers were brillint but most were for eye candy (the evac stuff and all that).
Tiberium: 10/10, OBVIOUSLEY...
Light: 7/10, It was way to dark for the day/night loop but apart from that it was fantasticly done
AI: 8/10, I found it was preparing their base and army but did nothing most of the time.
Surprises: 10/10, Liked your billboards and the pyrmid at the top right hand corner!

Overall a 9/10 map! good stuff man

BTW, I loked at the trigger editer and found the event/action pulldown box only had a number, if you can can you list the numbers and there options please?

I personally think the lighting is a bit over-done, but apart from that it looks really great.

I'm going to f*ck this map in its sleep. But yeah, I agree with crash on the lighting point, the Negative lamp posts are totally overkill.

and just where and how do you think it's over done?

similarly just how do you feel the negative lamps are overkill? oh btw...i should so totally quote you...so i will...

That lighting is beautiful. Really, It's the best lighting I've actually ever seen on any map screenshot. I'm not joking. Excellent work, Ixith.

that quote can be found In this thread on the second page

i can't be bothered to do thatt at this very moment and i won't place it in this topic but i will post a new topic somewhere with all of that sometime soon unless someone can remember if there was already a thread like that. However, i'm kinda curious as to what's wrong with your finalsun because you say that nothing shows in the drop down menus of your trigger sections in final sun and i noticed on one of your maps that hardly anything gets put into the basic section of the map which is something that automatically gets filled out as a 'standard' due to an ini file. did you download finalsun following a link from here or did you get it from somewhere else. also you haven't modded any of the finalsun ini files have you? (i would presume that you haven't but it's worth asking)

anyways thanks for the comments guys.

Thank-you Ixith

I downloaded it from here but the link in the Utilities section sent me to another website but no, I havent edited the rules.ini file in the case of changing the mapping thing.

Well it's too dark in some spots, removal of a few wouldn't hurt.

lol yea...im going to have to try to remember that not everyone else has a new bright ass screen like I have. No seriously....i had the ambient set to 15 for awhile and i could still see everything the only problem with the ambient below 20 for me was that things started to get blocky even with the level turned way down. Also the only placed I used negative lamps IIRC were the blue tiberium pits (those might have been negative red lights) and near the vein hole spot. The darkest areas from what i noticed were just outside the player start locations were there shouldn't be any negative lamps. I think i may have had the ground lighting active on this perhaps which may be the culprit here. But meh... like i said...i just have to remember about my super bright laptop screen which makes what would normally be too dark ok for me.

though it would still help if you said what spots.

[Aro]

Haha I figured it was blindingly obvious to be honest.

Tassadar Ixith this comes too late to you....

But this map has been spotlighted!
