If you can't get it to work use the other methods to determine how big your map is

I had to use one of the solutions provided on the analyzer thread, and fill in what was missing from dimfish's version, but I managed. Now I gotta make a couple more maps to finish my 3 submissions. This is an epic event, truly.

d. Use the correct LOS blockers for the tileset without altering anything about them
the problem i have is that there is no LOS blockers for my texture tileset (port zion.)

I think it really is up to your discretion in cases such as this. The space platform/korhal LoS blockers match the scrap/junk theme in Zion, and not all Blizz maps are 100% standard. Abyssal caverns has a spot of Mar Sara dark sand, and Shakuras Plateau has purple water. I think as long as it holds to the main theme and looks like something Blizzard would make I should think it would be fine.

Another question. It is completely OKAY to edit the map's lighting correct? (or change it to another tileset's)? I feel that lighting is obviously a great part of a map's aesthetics to make it feel unique.

On a side note, is there a recommended file hosting site TL prefers for the download link or is anything okay? (e.g at sc2mapster, etc etc)

Thanks again.

Any hosting site is acceptable - they're all the same to me! Say... mediafire or something

On the first map, I wonder if you could put a pylon in your main and warp into the third base of your opponent if you spawned in close positions... (seems a little bit close)

Um, I wonder if its okay to submit two variations of a certain map? I have a dilemma in my 2nd map and i just cant pick.

Yes definitely; I would expect the variation to be counted as another map entry counting towards my 3 map limit; since i don't have any plans to make a 3rd map.

Technically I could just re-terrain everything and form another map from scratch with similar layouts; but im quite busy currently and just couldnt cut arranging doodads and balancing for another map into my schedule.

Thanks once again.

So what does the winner get if his map doesn't make it onto the ladder? I mean is there going to be other tournament usages planned for the winner? Also if the guy's map does make the ladder and everything and millions of games are played on it do they get anything at all from blizzard (I remember they were saying they planned to have a map maker payout thing)

Alright... 3/3 maps are sent to TL Map Contest, hope you and the judges get it Plexa. Those babies are made with sincere love =D

@Barrin: I couldn't agree more. Even if the maps do get to the top three, the gimmicks will probably be 'fixed' by Blizzard.
