the map looks beautiful & yeah it reminds me of Habitation Station in a way too, but arent the mains a tab bit small? Im trying to picture where all my buildings would go & it just looks like it'd be a challenge. Has anyone thats played this map had an issue with building spacing?

I saw Funk and Pengwin play on it as a PvZ, and most of the buildings were placed towards the natural. I've been experimenting with small mains and medium/big naturals. They didn't seem to have an issue.

I think you need to look at terran games to evaluate that kind of thing, they have the most issues with building space

It's possible that the results have changed with the new base layouts, so I can't be for sure.

How did you tint the Shakuras3 texture pink? I would love to be able to tint textures but I tried opening your map and couldn't see how you did it.

You can extract and edit the .dds file then import the changed version back into the map. If you're going for a simple recolor then it's not too much work. Although sometimes it's hard to see how a color will actually look without doing the import process and putting it on the map, so there's some trial and error. Check out the Mapper's Index that is stickied in this forum, it probably has some info in there somewhere.

Similarly you could go to the Import tab on the map, and export the textures I used.

Oh. Is that OK though? To use your own textures? Like, if you want to submit your map to potentially be a ladder map? I'd think Blizzard wouldn't like custom textures on the ladder. I'm new to this so I have no idea what the "rules" are, as it were.

recolored textures have already been used on ladder maps (echo), it's not a problem

As long as your textures aren't incredibly hindering to either performance (importing a fuckton of them) or visibility (making it really bright, poor spec map, etc) then they're not a problem.

Bug

Can't place creep tumours here for some reason.

Also just from playing it, the entire bottom half of the map feels completely disconnected from the top half.

e: Apparently there's a building here that I can't see. http://i.imgur.com/0ep1L4Q.jpg

Yeah I discovered that yesterday, there's a big re-work coming for the map soon - so it should be gone by submission tomorrow.

Changes being made to the uploaded and [TLMC] maps by later today;

Main Mineral line moved up one cell to allow for spore/pylon/turret placement.
Mountain added behind main to help with Liberator spots.

There's also a whole 2nd version of Namaste ready to be seen and judged - a version with feedback from Monk and Liquid.Snute.
