FUTURE MAPS---
Another Duel Map

TUR01 - Underground 4 Pics

(click to show/hide)

Firstly, this is (most likely) the final layout in DoomBuilder.


The pillar to my right is added to each corner of the map. (If you saw the temp. forum, this wasn't on the map at first)


I added Punk as a bot to do some test play. It went quite well for a first try...


...until he pwned brutally whooped my butt 2 times in a row...


...but then I hit him back. It was 1 (me) to 2 (Punk) when I ended the game test mode.

Questions/Comments/Suggestions are welcome. Also, like I said, I need some help with the MAPINFO. If anyone helps I will be truly grateful.

EDIT! I will now put the download link to the map. Also, I'm going to run a testing server in a moment. Join!!!

Why isn't it working? I can find it in the regular MM8BDM game by typing Map TUR01. Now when I host it it says map TUR01 doesn't exist :/ can someone help me?

UPDATE! My map is now complete, thanks to help from Ivory and a MAPINFO error fix. I will run a server in a few moments to run the map. And it will be duel. Download the new file NOW and join the server

The server will be called - TUR01 Duel Testing Server

1: Mapinfo is simple. I'll redirect you to a topic I made for help.

It was easy once explained to.

2: I did make the server, but I had to get off shortly after. I'll put it back up in a bit.

Looks VERY boring. Add more textures.

Well, I'm kinda finished with the map, but I could once I have the time. (It's 12:30 at my area)

Also, (once I edit said map) the next map I have planned will be a remake of Icicle Pyramid from Diddy Kong Racing. I might need some help with it, but I'll find out once I make the first part whether or not i will need help.

Eh? The map's a good start, it just  seems a tad lacking. My main beef - Magnets, E-Tank, and M-tank are FAR too generous and I'd scrap all of them. All of those weapons should be at high elevations or in places that are convoluted to get to; putting them in plain sight encourages farming and is unbalanced.

 My next question - the "center area", so to speak. What's the purpose? You can get up there with item-1, but there's nothing there. No weapons, energy/life, nada. If it's meant to be a wall, make it a wall. If it's meant to be part of the map you just go through as you battle, make it accessible without item-1. (that seems more reasonable to me, this way you could cut item-1 entirely) I also like the idea of adding a hole in the center of tall pillar (Think the Rush Jet spawn in v1c Edge of the Damn/MMCTF09) so you can put an item in there and make that pillar traversable. The map layout is basic but doesn't have any glaring flaws, so you've got room to add depth to the map structure. You could make it FEEL larger by raising the elevated areas into the ceiling, making them true walls that seperate parts of the map (and that way doesn't encourage magnet dominance as much).

Minor thing- if possible, loop the music so that the intro is not played again. The game has two sound files for the final boss (MM10FB1/MM10FB2 iirc) and the first one is the intro, and the second is the loop. You could also just gut the intro so that it loops fine.
