can i make a map for this please?

[Reemu]

You should add Flash Bomb to the Flag-stopping weapons. I may do a map after I am done with the stuff I have to do, who knows, it may be interesting.

Personally, I think it's too early to really put Time Slow as taboo. it doesn't do anythign to make YOU invulnerable or faster. And it's still an AoE.
But yeah, I banned Flash Bomb from being used in any official CTF maps, so it should be banned here as well.

Can i find some texture you guys can have in the maps.

[leoalex50]

um FTX i can't use custom textures in db2

[Beed28]

Right, I removed Time Slow from the taboo weapons list, and added Flash Bomb. I knew Tornado Hold would be there, but wasn't thinking of Flash Bomb.

Can someone please make a map with this texture.  
Eherything thatt is green can you guys changes to the light and wily team colors.

In the CTF map compo, there was a rule that limited maps to 9000 units long, 6000 wide. It's a good rule too, as it makes maps have nearly no FPS lag, and it's the reason I use it in my map pack. 32 starts for one team seems to me like a bit much, so I always use 16 for each.

Also, must Top Spin be an obligatory taboo weapon? I think that's situational. There are far more distance weapons than there are melee, and the map layout also plays an important role in Top Spin's effectiveness.

I released an unused textures pack. It contains those and much more. It's on the Resources section. Or here.

Really? I was wondering why maps were limited to 9000 units long, 6000 wide in the compo. I didn't know that beforehand. Thanks; I fixed up the rules accordingly.

And Top Spin was on the Taboo Weapon list there in the CTF Compo too. I think it's because it kills in one hit.

HEY
HEY

HEY BEED



NEOGEO POCKET COLOUR SOUNDFONT COUNTS AS 8-BIT RIGHT

Power Battle Fighters Pocket has the best music in the world

Top Spin was on the Taboo Weapon list there in the CTF Compo too. I think it's because it kills in one hit.

Top Spin sucks balls now so I think it should be swapped with Flame Sword

[Beed28]

Prehaps. I don't know how different the NeoGeo Pocket Colour soundfont is compared to the NES soundfont, though.

I'm not sure about the Top Spin and Flame Sword, though. Weapon Balancing was never my bass forte.

You must, must, MUST put all textures between the PP_START and PP_END AS WELL as define all the new textures in a Textures lump.
