[Map Pack] Mr. X's X Pack and stuff

[Kapus]

Not only does this look like a good replica, it actually looks like a very fun map to play DM on. Good work.


Also, yeah, that tree is hideous.

why is by blademan not trippleblade,s?

Beg your pardon?

[Korby]

I think he's asking why Triple Blade isn't in Blade Man's stage.

[Kapus]

Yeah, I figured that after I made that post!

As for the answer, Triple Blade was made long after that map was released.

[Korby]

Meanwhile, the map was updated with Triple Blade for the X Pack.

Told you that tree is ugly as heck.  Thank you, the goal was to try to have nostalgia and a good layout simultaneously, hence why I picked Whomp's Fortress over any other Super Mario 64 stage (that, and it's my favorite).

And as Korby stated, The X Pack version of Blade Man's stage has Triple Blade as well as a slightly reworked back section of the castle.

Whomp's Fortress is done!

Now with 100% less vomit inducing trees!


Bird's-eye view (get it?  Because I've got Beat and oh never mind)

[Korby]

Sweet. Also, the tree looks better now.

[Kapus]

I imagine there must be something special at the top.

[Korby]

I think X pointed out somewhere that Star Crash is at the top.

[Mr. X]

Yes, I pointed that out. It's Star Crash because that's where (arguably) the most recognizable star was.

I made a new map today!  I'm on a roll!

Deathmatch map - Sand Sea

Here is the outside main area.  The entire center of the map is a giant quicksand pit.  Being near the outside slows you down a little bit.  As you go further towards the center, you sink more and walk slower.  Hit the different textured center and you die.

NOTE - Quicksand is the same texture as regular sand, but moves.  The fast it moves, the deeper it is/the slower you move.


Random room inside the temple.


While it looks like there's a lot of platforming involved, the only true death area is the center of the pit, so there's still plenty of open area to fight in.  I'm not sure whether I like this map or don't like it.

[Mr. X]

D-d-d-double post.

I finished my 3rd map in 3 days!

Deathmatch Map - Alpha Sector

Story time!  Back in the good old SGC Demo days where there were only 4 maps and Quick Boomerang was one of the hottest weapons (why, I don't know, we all just seemed to rush for it in Metal Man's stage), I was trying to make my first map.  It was basically a remix of Skull Castle Interior.  It was going fine until I made a small boo-boo and deleted half of my work with no way to fix it.  Whoops.  Naturally, I rage-deleted it.  A few weeks later, I started Blade Man and that became my first map ever.

So, until last night, I actually forgot about that map.  Once I remembered it, I decided to try to remake it from memory (albeit with a few slight adjustments).  To add to the nostalgia, I only put in weapons and items from the SGC Demo (and by items, I mean none) and I only used textures from the demo (and by textures, I mean Skull Castle Interior since the 4 demo levels kind of clashed when put together).  And so, I made Alpha Sector.  Sure, it's not the prettiest map in the world, but from testing it plays surprisingly well for being a very very old design.

Look down from the upper room to the lower room.  The weapons in this level are all from the demo.  Actually, all of them but one (Quick Boomerang) are found in the demo version of Skull Castle Interior.


The sewer acts like a smelly underground moat surrounding the entire map.

To fit with the "good old days" theme, the song for the stage is an old song I made in a midi maker a few years ago remixed into a Mega Man style song.

Sweet. It'll be good to go back to the SGC days.

Does it have the SGC Needle Cannon? 'cause that would be nostalgia overload.

[Mr. X]

That's a no on that one.  I don't want to add any more new weapons beyond Triple Blade so Mess (and anybody else) can run both the Ivory pack and the X Pack on a dedicated Map Pack server.

Plus, I'm sick of doing weapons stuff.  Unless it's a class, I don't want to do it.  I also hated the SGC Needle Cannon with a passion.

EDIT:  I also forgot the small problem that is I don't have the SGC Demo any more.

[Kapus]

I wasn't around during the SGC demo days, so I won't be getting much nostalgia from this!

Still looks genuinely fun, though
