Rick, you could just submit your map on the 3th, right? Just to make sure. well I think so, just asking that, because you know the deal right? different countries, different time zones and so, and yes I think I can submit it on the third, but to be sure I'll try to submit on the second from here, to be more sure | ||

MMA_fan_ you say that is your first map? Good job, especially how quickly you made it. Rickv100491 definitely email them your map, its coming along nicely. Delete some cliff from the middle to create 2 side paths, thats an easy win, and add an expansion on the left and right edge. Ive finished my two maps now, havent emailed them yet but if anyone else needs a hand I might be able to help in some way. CrystalDrag are you about? Might need to email maps on his behalf if not. Im assuming Power Bond as one of yours JungleTerrain. Freakling, just make a few new email accounts and send them all! Mustachefreak, piratefreak etc. Probably Id go for Frogstar World B and Eddy. EDIT:@Jungleterrain, just delete the minerals from the mineral only and put them right outside the nats so they are much easier to take. | ||

The only tight chokes there belong to expansions, which need those tight chokes to be more defensible, and are not where main armies have to move through to get from any points A to B on the map. There is a flip side to this, though: Both Gold Rush and particularly Outsider have awkwardly short rushing distances, which are detrimental to balance (p.e. in PvZ on Outsider, where FFE on the low ground seems to be considered not safe by many players, although nat choke design probably also plays a role in this). Or look at maps like Ground Zero or Circuit Breakers, which employ huge chunks of "go-around-terrain" to avoid this very issue. In comparison, I put no major obstacles in players' way on Eddy, and rushing distance is one of the concerns that have been brought up for that map (even though naturals are spaced out far as reasonably possible). Just to make sure we are on the same page, here is how pathfinding on Frogstar actually works: One thing I would say to adjust on frogstar: I don't know how many people will pick up on the fact that the big doodads over the entrances to the thirds are actually just sprites with vision restricting (but fully pathable) tiles underneath. If there's something you could use instead that makes the visual language of the map a little clearer, that would help a lot in communicating how the map actually works. | ||

I did draw inspiration from CPR for sure, as it's my favorite map that has ever seen professional play. But I think that my map has enough differences that it shouldn't be an issue, so I'm not really sure why you're trying to make one. | ||

How is a Terran every supposed to move out against a Protoss? | ||

I expected people to be finding things wrong with it, and these are things that people will point out to me and that I will fix on this map and keep in mind for future maps that I make. | ||

Any one with too much time on their hand willing to try develop some new Ash ramps?

Would be a pretty bad idea of them to just forget about it, and I doubt any one will really manage to make a map exclusively for ASL5, not a quality map at least, on such short notice. Guess they want to be sure that the map makers stand by to update stuff at their whim. What they really need is better foresight, there is absolutely no need to postpone every step of map selection, testing, updating, introduction, and usually further edits, because for various reasons most maps tend to have some serious flaws (insufficient knowledge about bugs and too little, too late and very superficial, on a technical level, testing being the most important ones) to the latest possible moment. Why can't they plan 3 months in advance – 1 month for submissions, one for testing, updating and selection, and one to actually give players time to learn the map (or make it 2.5 months with only 2 weeks to train on the final version, as players would be involved in testing an selecting anyways)?I’m not submitting anything this time around. Don’t think they would choose Uzi Sara again (they have the map file still anyways, I sent it straight to 910 [kangkuyol], if they actually do want to). And Power Bond I don’t consider finished still (although it’s playable). I would want to make another map or two, but at this time I’m too busy/uninspired. Or they need their own team of map makers. Or both.

I don't see how it would be hard for people to figure out, anyways. And as for the small shrub doodads I use to mark the vision blockers, that's actually copied directly from how it's done in SC2. There is not established standard for how vision blockers are to be implemented in SC1, as no Korean tournament map (except Mist) has made use of them yet. There should be something to mark them as a broad hint to players that there is something noteworthy is going on, and using those bush sprite is an ideal solution in that regard:One thing I would say to adjust on frogstar: I don't know how many people will pick up on the fact that the big doodads over the entrances to the thirds are actually just sprites with vision restricting (but fully pathable) tiles underneath.

But I think that my map has enough differences that it shouldn't be an issue I'm sorry, but when you say something like this, it just comes off as "oh my map is unique enough to sin CPR to be a good map on its own" without considering what map CPR a good map in the first place. The idea of a relatively straight forward center but wide enough side paths that make side pushes and flanks possible. That is the issue. | ||

.. Freakling: Instead of obsessing over such minute details, maybe you should focus more on the core issues of your maps. Ammm.... Core issues....... got it Freakling thanks for the pointer, and I was worried, because the time zone usually helps me concentrate more, like I know until which time I have to upload and so | ||
