    Re: Map Designs (Much Cooler Sounding Than 'Ideas')

    Thought you meant fusion coils dropping from the sky. You could have said 'Airdrop' instead to clarify, though.

    I've finished a basic map of part of my ideas for both #1 AND a little bit of #5. Because I'm so awesomely lazy, I just made all of them in one map at once. There are some shortcomings. For an example, #1 has only 2 staircases in each base, #5's maze is really junk. I didn't have enough resources to build everything. A third floor would have made the map a lot smaller, length-wise, and a maze would have eaten up the wall pieces like a morbidly obese monkey would eat a banana.

    AZN, I liked the random part of the map. Very exciting, and very innovative. My only regret is that I find it still easy to navigate. When I was running around, I easily held to a wall to move corner to corner, and also could still go straight through the middle with little memorization. Still, a big achievement in terms of mazes.

    Yeah... it was not made to be a complete maze where some paths get blocked off, it was made to stir things up in the middle of combat, where you couldn't memorize the map. I wanted to block off certain areas but then someone may spawn where they can get out, or gain access to a key part of the map. With a little thinking I am hoping I come up with a clever way to implement the random technique. I'll get back to you... and by the way... PLEASE tell me you saved my map while you were in my room... cuz lag deleted half of the layout while I was working on it one day, and now I have to redo it from scratch. And the layout I had was perfect... I have sad face :(

    Um...Sorry? Bummer.
    I actually had tried to save it, but it didn't show up on my 'recent maps' list. Which sucked.

    I have an idea for a remake of a Bond: Nightfire level. It was on PS2... the snowy one with the cable cars. The only problem I see is the cable cars, which IDK how to make work...

    Good thread, lookin forward to seeing the maze AZN. You should name it MAZN. Lol.

    I have a suggestion for this thread... rename it "Map Designs" take away the "much cooler sounding blah blah" part, it is rather irritating and clutters up the forums.
