[Maps] CSCM Pack. V5c + Remixed maps (Under new management)

I spawn and immediately see a huge graphical glitch and in OpenGL nonetheless.  I see the map has upper and lower sectors.  Ditch them as I'm sure they are the cause and just have teleporters to the top section if you have to.

The pits here are too deep and make you think there might be something down there.  If all you're going to have them for is to have spikes in them, why even make them deep at all?  You can make them just 64 units deep and allow everybody to see the spikes.  The stage also needs more texture variety on the first floor as all of the walls look the same.  The M tank is way too easy to get, and I think the stage is way too big for it's own good.  I say remove half of the bottom portion and put the top portion in its place so it's all on one floor and doesn't all look the same.  Interesting layout, but too ambitious for its own good.

Well, I already know that glitch. That's due that the spikes are linedefs with instant-death action on the floor. So, in fact, to solve it, i have to do a new actor with the spike. That's not issue of the upper- lower sectors.
Also, sorry, but there aren't much textures here to use. I tried to make it as most colorful as it can and that are the results. The M tank will be changed, that's for sure. Finally, if the deep is another issue, i can make changes to it. I'm gonna deal with the size of my map later.

Alright, it's just halls of mirrors tend to show up with upper and lower sectors.  I think the size issue and the lack to variety to the textures go hand in hand.  It's just so big that the textures are overwhelming.

[CopShowGuy]

I think the problems with a lot of the stages are that they are too big.  I got a real linear feeling from Metal Man X's stage.  It was way too big and the areas were way too cut off from the other portions.

As for Dive Man, why does no one incorporate an above ground portion to this map?  His stage had a few surface areas.  It might be something that spices the Dive Man theme up a bit.

MM2 Dr. Wily:  Didn't feel like I was really at the Skull Castle entrance.  Felt like we were fighting in a pen way in front of the castle.

The remixed maps MUST replace the official ones They are much more fun to explore and all. Plus the Cutman Remixed is small but not as small as the official. So, making it better to fill the role of "first map" and "Decent DM map" at the same time.

[Korby]

I know many people that would not only disagree with that, but would also murder Mike if he ever did it

[Ivory]

I rather stick with the thoroughly tested official maps then these ones.

[Mr. X]

Sorry to be very frank, but I'd rather stick with good maps than less than good maps...except Elec Man.

[CutmanMike]

This doesn't need to be 67MB. I would highly recommend compressing those music files, one way or another!

The remixed maps MUST replace the official ones

No they must not. The only one I will ever consider is Ivory's Centaur Man mash up in the I-Pack.

Regarding Flan's map, I wrote this about it on skype but decided to copypaste that in here.

[20:50:37] Myroc: It's decent, but could use some work
[20:51:35] Myroc: Some rooms could use a bit more detail. I know one room which is basically just a huge room with two torches. Maybe you want to have a huge room with two torches and little else, but there are ways too make it look detailed without changing it too much.
[20:52:30] Myroc: Also, if possible, getting someone to make some fancier textures would be cool. You don't have to do it yourself, but atleast ensure they're touched up.
[20:52:41] Myroc: Besides that, it's okay.
[20:53:06] Myroc: Layout sucks for DM but eh. It's cool for LMS/TLMS

[Shade Guy]

Also about Flan's map (sorry if this has been mentioned before), but the doors/curtains have some issues because they're just teleporters. SSW noticed that it is possible to telefrag people just by going through the doors, which isn't very great.

[Flandre Scarlet]

If you actually saw the way the map is made, you would notice that it's impossible to remove these teleporters, other than the one outside.

[Shade Guy]

An inconvinience is still an inconvinience. Maybe that means you have to move around the rooms a bit. I'm fine with some teleporters so the level actually works, but at least try to connect some areas without them.

[Flandre Scarlet]

Do you want the map's blueprint? You'll notice that it isn't as simple as it seems.

[Balrog]

The actual blueprint:



Not really that complex.

[Flandre Scarlet]

True, but removing the teleporter from outside to inside, the teleporter to the dining room, AND the teleporter to the clock tower is impossible.
