It's a worllama
A worm and a llama.
I dunno we hijacked stevo's old avatar like the bosses that we are.

There will always be a bit of off-coloring, but I generally go to the water sortof in-between the Pillar and the Island, as far off as I can go.

want pictures I took a panoramic of the harbour. You can see the curvature of the Earth and all. Anyway, back home now and it's FREEZING! put it this way. It's about 11 degrees now. At sunrise in tennerrife it's at least 23

Drop some light man cannons on one corner (of each base) for access to the center.

Another idea, place a power weapon on the left side of the center alleyway of sorts, with a slightly lower respawn time than the others on the map, as to move attention away from the slight lack of cover.

I could join you if you're on, but your connection is somewhat shitty IMO.
And by somewhat I mean it was gods turd.

Well. Not quite. Still having to do revising inbrtween my adventures. Oh yes. We went to the restaurant with the cool guy and he forced everybody to stop eating and give us a round of applause :D

no problem, dont hesitate to ask again!

Have you done anything to that map you showed Zeeb and I about a week ago? I though of some ideas, but I don't know what you have done to it since I saw it.

inspiration? weird, but okay, if you want. =P
As far as Im concerned you should not double up them. It just is wasteful- though if for some reason you have parts left over you may by all means. In Achromatic I used the dark and light sides to help orientation. All the dark sides are the outer wall (aside from the inside of the hall near red spawn) and the light sides are all pillars within. Its a small touch, but I personally liked it. If you really dont like how they look you could always add in some 2x2 banks (flat sides to make square) or rocks- which also help orient players.

it all depends on how you want your rooms to be connected. a door (the actual forge piece, i assume) helps visually separate areas and is a pretty narrow entrance, but you don't necessarily have to use it. you could just as easily use other pieces to frame out the entrances and exits, which also gives you a little more flexibility over the exact shape and size of your paths.

im not sure I know what you mean by "double braces"?

I cant tell you if you should trash your map. I havent done anything more than look at some images. You may want to experiment with it some more, maybe take a similar design and make a few versions with differences such as size, paths, and weapons. These are of course just suggestions off the top of my head. Maps dfo take a long time to get right though, I worked on Pivot for about a month and my last 3 for about 2 months. You need to be prepared to spend time on them if you want to make great maps. And beleive me, its very possible. You just need to understand what makes a map great and have a good design- but in the end it really just comes down to testing.

Glad you liked the 1x4s.

Tyler of My Forging and I have worked together for a while, and Oli did a video for me with Achromatic. As for any others, I would be interested to know where the videos are, I am not familiar with anyone else who have my maps in video on youtube.

Thanks, appreciate you saying so! If you never saw the upgraded version (Recursive) you might check it out - I prefer it over the original, I think.

it was amazing thanks. Will upload some of the ppictures I got when I get back. Going to go up a volcano today. Had an amazing magician perform right in front of our face last night. Just me and my family. Most amasing magician you will see. Just used stuff on the table; a deck of cards we had, a bill for our drinks, a coffee stirrer and loads more.

Anyway, pm me a link to the map and I will get started when I can.

It's weird getting messages that don't involve hating mentor tearing someones hard work to shreds. One might almost assume it's sarcastic.

Okay, just do whatever you feel needs to be done. just dont sell your body. that's not worth it for a map.

Yeah, no problem. Just try to keep similar textures too, your right that 1x1 talls would look weird. 1x4s might look better.

Well thank you. I had not seen you map until now and I like that center area you have. Actually maybe you can try adding pillars (1x4?) and using them as a bit of cover for people on the ground and tactical jumps for those who are on the sides above to get from side to side? Just a thought.

very...

Course I do!!

I won't be able to do you anything for at least two weeks though. I'm in the Tenerife at the Moment (just got back from swimming with dolphins!) and when I get back I have another, short video to do, that I have to tie in with exams. Look up my threads, and make a post in the most recent one.

Thanks for the offer. It would be an honour.
