Your map... Rocks

It's name... Sucks.

Please change it, and hide those people on the minimap before you submit it to MoTM #5, and This could be a really strong candidate!

My advice for the map:

- remove the humans from the middle, the white dots are annoying on minimap
- add another LOS vent or just change it to the other side. Nobody is going to drop next to your natural

great map!

Changes:
- no more people on the map (its looks a little bit empty for a city but there is no other way)
- removed campaign dependence (includes the creep tumor problem)
- remade doodads because i use alot from the campaign
- renamed to Coruscant ( yes that works^^)

You have to have the actors of the civilians (crowd whatever) play out their part (with triggers) without the actual units on the maps (they would not impair or lag the whole experience).

You could alternately make critters with their actor models? Would that be acceptable?

You folded on the name?

+ Show Spoiler +

i kinda liked the "anakin reference"

Anyway.. you should pm a mod to change your thread heading.. tl mods are very obliging and if you want to change, it's best to change the heading

I've been experimenting with making crowds, with just models not units, for one of my maps. I've been using models and not units to reduce the lag a crap ton of units makes also minimap problems. The easiest way I've found so far is to just change the models of a few unused doodads to what you want in your crowd, be it marines or civilians or whatever. You can also do it with triggers but I haven't found an easy way yet. It is possible to create model on point X,Y and run loops to make lines of models. Then use random numbers to vary distances etc. Both ways work but unfortunately both methods change the map type to custom.

I've got a suggestion for the civilian problem, if you're ever thinking about putting them back. If you have the civilians without the Campaign dependence, you can set a Unit's minimap radius in the Data editor. Just set it to 0, that should work. In case you want to put those people there. Tested it on one of my own maps, and it worked with the dependency.

Beautiful map. I hope it plays as nicely as it looks. My only issues are with the side-by-side bases at 4 and 5, and 10 and 11. (Or maybe I can't see them clearly on the overview.)

Beautiful map, of course. I like the way you use rocks although I think those could be bigger or more of them so that they affect gameplay even more. I love the feature with the worker-entrance-ramp to the left hand fourth.

Is the nat to third distance a bit on the long side? How will that affect the game, do you think? It looks like three creep tumors .. which is fine?

Can you make destructible XNTs and still keep the Melee status?

if u take the third on the lowground it feels ok otherwise the third on highground is not untakeable.
and melee status will change if u change something in the data editor, so yes its no melee map anymore.

i have to get on this civilian issue ~~
