I'm surprised no one has spoken about this but TheKid you must remove the green omni light doodads from the geysers, those are reserved to rich vespene geysers only.

Why restrict something beautiful to a mechanic that is not being used?

Because said mechanic IS used in maps, and when is used it is made clear by the green omni light.

Any map besides Atlantis Spaceship that got played and had a high-yield geyser on it? And that was before WCS unified the map-pools. I think this "rule" is a bit artificial at this point.

Edit: Voted yes, but I rather mean to say: do whatever you want with it. People adapted to air blockers in like 2weeks, they'll understand that a normal main base has normal gas geysers. Also so many people play with their settings so low, that they won't even notice the difference between lights and no lights.

SwedenTheKid I like it. keep it! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have never seen green omni light doodads from the geyser reserved to rich vespene. Were is the rules and regulations about that? You got my Vote for yes to keep.

Regulations and rules? This is not about regulations and rules, is about clarity and consistency across maps, he could go full JJ Abrams on his map and add green lens flares to his geysers, would it look good/bad? That's irrelevant, the issue is consistency across maps, the bottom line is to get you want your map to be easily understandable to the players/viewers, you won't achieve this by messing around with the consistency we have agreed upon over years of mapmaking here on TL.

Posted the map thread. The lights are in the pics but I will probably remove for publishing version. Thanks everyone for the input. More art and better art to come.

From my map jam entry, Scorched Citadel. Made in a few hours so not very detailed, but i do like the contrasting textures and lighting.

It looks great wargirl. I guess it's not usable as a melee map, but it is some fine work =)

Wargirl, that is fantastic. And I think that'd totally work in a melee map (on high powered computers lol)

Thank you guys appreciate the comments although I may say that im horrible a melee layouts but i can definetly make them look good. I always wanted to make a great melee map but always fail on the way. So i just shoot for arcade maps.

More art and better art to come.

wargirl what map lighting are you using for the vacation map pics? I always have trouble finding good lighting and i think what you are using looks really nice
