The maps in legions are worse than I am.

Seriously. they need to give the community the mapping tools and take the month off. There isn't a single map that is anywhere close to not being a total piece of shit.

I agree

New one, Mirage is coming 1/6/9

the time will arrive soon enough (not really... but, it's nice to think that it would) ;)

I have seen what some of the community NDA guys can do with the editor and its pretty impressive. Once the editor is released to the public, I have a very strong feeling the player count is going to skyrocket for this game. However, the editor is still being tested at the moment. It's easy to use, hell... I even made a made a map that I (as a Tribes fanatic) thought was pretty decent for my first map ever.

you ever gonna release that? or was it just for fun?

I saw pics of one that looked exactly like raindance.. looked pretty nice.

Pretty much just for fun. One of the Legions community members had created the terrain in TGEA and gave me the .ter file which I then put into the mission editor. It didn't fit the mission editors square size too well and need a lot of adjustments. Long story short it was my first time ever making a map with a map editor and I was proud of myself but again, it was really just for fun.

Nope it was the "Fissure" map. Scroll down on the Legions forum here and you will see the first screens I took of it. Those were taken on the first day and I started making the map. Since then I had done a LOT of retexturing and terrain editing.

I remember OD being a must for getting to the flag and out quickly, and having to half-pipe like crazy on the middle fissure to get up to the flag from ground level in one jump. How much tweaking have you done? (I think I looked at it mid-Augustish. Whenever your first version of the "complete" map was.)

well I was working on it on my other computer and the HD fried so I lost a lot of work. I forgot you had tested it. The most up-to-date version I had, had a lot more routes when you dropped in back, both ways pretty much avoided the center ridge.

The problem with the map was that when the terrain file was created in TGEA, the square size Im guessing was set to 8. When I ported it into the editor, this made the mountains right near the edge of the map. I could have expanded the square size, but that would have meant redoing the terrain from scratch. Basically, again, as my first map, I was happy on what I learned and what I could do with the existing terrain. It was an enjoyable experience and I learned a lot about the editor (it's very friendly). That being said, I handed the map back to the original architect for him to fool around with.

Minus the flag areas i liked the general map design. My main problem with the current maps is the terrain gives cappers so many viable paths to take home from point A to point B that it's insanely easy to get off course as a chaser, or put nades/rockets in the wrong divot out of the 25 the capper has to choose from. A map like Fissure would be good for balancing capper options vs. chasing viability.

Yeah it was mornaval's concept. Maybe if I can change the square size without messing up the terrain and make it so OD wasn't necessary 90% of the time then I would continue to work on it. Oh, plus adding custom interiors.
