The Arden River, is it's name. tongue.gif
I was looking through the old mapping folder I had, which was at least 1 year old, and I came across something, I completely forgot ever even existed; A WIP of a map i'd began work on, a long time ago. When I opened it up in final sun, there was only about 10% (If even that) of the map done... So I thought why not complete it? And now it's done. I was playing, Twisted Insurrection, during the time of the screenshots. tongue.gif

(Keeping in mind, this is a tournament map, so it's better for online games than it is, Skirmish... Still fun non-the-less)

smile.gif

Have fun.

That's a nice tournament map, but it's too basic to be spotlighted IMO

dled it and will look it over and play/review it later.

as for the pics. It looks ok. Can't tell if its spotlight material or not. One thing which really isn't about this map in particular but more so all your maps overall....its just that all of them have really similar lighting...which to me takes away character for the individual maps. Do ya know what I'm getting at?

oh and sorry Aro pointing out a basic spotlighted map that was spotlighted FOREVER ago doesn't help your cause. Remember the level of mapping back then isn't as good as it is now thus we expect better maps now for the spotlights. wink1.gif

anyways I will be sure to have an extensive look at this map here soon. smile.gif

EDIT:2 things. Why are some of those village buildings ON the dirt road?
also looking in finalsun there are 2 cliff errors. tongue.gif

I hate to make little bumps on my own topic's, but come on guys, I need some more comments. smile.gif

LOL! xD Bullies! tongue.gif
Anyway, as for those cliff errors, i've already fixed them. Try downloading it again and see if they're still there.
And as for pointing out an old basic map, it's still basic, whether it was spotlighted a long time ago or not. tongue.gif
Anyway, as for buildings being on dirtroads, it's because the buildings that are on the dirt raods, look better that way. In-game, anyway.
No one has played it yet? I'm surprised theres no comments about the suicidal cars. lol.gif

Yes, i know what you mean, but what i don't like is the way most people all do the same kind of things with lighting, in TS. It's either dark red woads of green, really dark in general, or just drak with a tint of blue... Most maps look the same in lighting, and the reason i do it, is because it's more realistic lighting, than some completely out-rageous lighting... But in some examples (Cliffs of asvetia), it actualy looks good. tongue.gif

well I finally got to play it thanks to the snow day which yes I will continue to rub it in for the rest of today if I talk to you or post something. XD

Anyways heres a review:
Detail: 9.5/10 everything I expected was there. Just woulda been nicer if it was on a bigger less basic map. tongue.gif

Layout:6.8/10 It was ok...too basic for my taste. Also one thing that this layout seemed to bugger was that I tested this one as GDI so I could test the water path way and well...my hover MLRSs weren't going under the bridges... in fact I tried several times to send them under there but they wouldn't go...I think this is because the bridge and bridge supports are too close together in 3 of the 4 bridges as they did go under the lower left bridge.

Lighting: 7/10 Just more needed to be done with it. Day/night loop and the works.

Triggers: 7/10 Some nice moving vehicles across the bridge. The suicide cars would have been nice for just a few times..but after they have been suiciding for quite a long time it seems kinda weird to me...I mean a) wouldn't the driver be able to see the bridge is out? and cool.gif wouldn't they hear a traffic report or something saying "HEEYY THAT BRIDGE BE OUT!!!" XD

Game play: 7.2/10 AI was simple. I mean the amount of tiberium that was that close to my base allowed for a quick enough cash funding to easily turtle into my area. (i played on the left) Once I fortified the only opening the AI could attack from I just had to gain access to their base which isn't hard. I think the gameplay would have been better if the layout had some differences in it.

Overall: 7.5 not spotlight worthy IMO. but still for a basic map it is quite nice. A few suggestions that might make this map better.
-Add something to the middle island to fight over. Tib field, capturable armory, capturable hospital, etc.
-Add or move the water access to be on the opposite side of where they are now for each thing. This would allow for the player to not so easily turtle into their area and guard just that one spot.
I think I had something else to add to this list but I can't quite remember. lol
Anyways keep up the good work smile.gif

oh and back in the olden days Aro remember mapping wasn't what it is today there for the standards of spotlighting were a lot less back then compared to now. Which is why basic maps have less chance of spotlight. tongue.gif Yes the one you pointed out was a basic map or at least fairly basic..but it was I believe at least Titan's first map and it was good for back then and as a first. lol

Ahh no worries. It was a small Tournament map overall, made just for fun. smile.gif
I'll remember this for the next public release... Which may not be so soon. confused.gif Dependant on how Twisted Insurrection goes.

Cheers, Ix. wink2.gif

BUMP!
I've uploaded another version with no triggers and a bit brighter as I found the suicidal cars to become annoying after a while.

Here it is:

Team Black spotlighted it I believe.
Also, I can't be bothered to get a picture, but I do have this one which does feature the new lighting (The concrete cliffs are not featured in this version of the map).
Edit: Never mind, I'll just get some new pictures.

hmm I guess it does seem a little bit lighter. Can't really tell that well since the pics are on 2 far away posts. But I shall take your word for it.

I will download the newer version and do a re-evaluation sometime soon. Can't promise by the end of the weekend because I have Graduation to attend to for band, Bobfest 2k8 to go to (which is my brother's bands big gig thing) and then I have some friends' graduation parties to go to. So yea....after tuesday I should have much more time to do modding/mapping related things...seeing as that is when school if finally out. smile.gif
