    Map Description:
    Starboard Deck is the most geometrically accurate version of Midship to date (I believe). It is made using the infinite budget glitch. Nearly every object is interlocking with at least one other object. Even with the infinite budget glitch I could place no more objects, and unfortunately, it is still possible to get out of the map and I was unable to get all of the goals to be exactly correct to the original. Because of this I posted this map in the casual map section.

    Feedback is always appreciated. I would love to hear suggestions on how to improve this map.
    [br]
    P.S. This is not quite a finished version. I will delete the things outside of the map, so that I can make all the original gametypes accurate, and make it harder to get out of the map, but for the moment I want people to be able to place equipment and powerups (and vehicles) in the map if they want to.

    Wow that is really well made. Congratulations.

    I love how you have used shield doors so well. to make small bits of cover, and so you can bounce nades up the 'ramps' like you did on h2.

    If i were you, put the download link at the top of the page, it tends to attract more people.

    Wowee. This is looks so much like the actual midship. I will say it looks a bit sloppy, which might have to do with the items and the map layout but other than that it looks amazing.

    Thanks

    I wish that I could place more double and single boxes, instead of resorting to things like fence boxes and crates, to make it look cleaner. Alas only 24 double and 8 single.

    Did you use the money glitch?

    Yes I used the infinite money glitch, but bungies ultimate budget for items still wont allow me to place any more items.

    Nice. Best I've seen. As you said, sadly there are only so many boxes... Could you tell me one thing; Did you delete everything, or can you still spawn things [if you are still allowed]? There are just some small adjustments I'd personally make.

    Another thing, how come in the pic of the center platform the two barriers look off? One looks bigger then the other?

    I'm gonna try it out, because it looks pretty accurate. Looks like it could possibly tidied up a bit though.

    No, I have not deleted anything in this version. For editing, there are some vehicles outside of the map on the left side. In the back 'cubby' rooms is one of all the equipment, the other weapons (that aren't in the map), and the powerups.
    You can move these into the map or delete some if you want to have multiples, or place different items.

    In the pic of the center platform the barrier appears bigger than the other one because it is at a different angle and slightly closer. Thats interesting though, its an optical illusion.

    This looks VERY messy in my opinion. Looks like a good layout of midship but for aesthetically it just isnt appealing to me. I dont mean to criticize gameplay or anything like that, but its just too unattractive for me.

    everything looks a little radom but maybe thats because you had no choice. if it plays like the origional then i guess its ok.

    It is a good remake but a little too sloppy for my taste.

    This is actually pretty cool. I think most of the people calling it sloppy don't realize the lengths you went to to keep all the lines and angles the same. With the proper weapon layout I could see this playing like the real thing more than any other remake. I only fear the attempted curvy nature of the map will create bumps.

    Ok, cool. I'm going to look into modifying it a bit and I'll make sure to give you credit, and I'll show you of course. And yeah, the barrier thing threw me off at first. XD

    In my opinion, i feel this is the hardest map to pull off. I think you did it as accurate as it could be done, but if i were you i would have tried to make it look better, at the cost of changing some things.

    Wow, dude how long did this take you to make this? You did a lot of item merging which makes the level look kinda sloppy but as long as it plays good, all will be fine. I'll download next time on live.

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

    Eventually I will make another version where I will try and make the top half much cleaner.
    For now though I want to finish working on some of my other ideas.

    Sweet, I'm looking forward to seeing the changes you make.
