Known issues (READ BEFORE REPORTING STUFF!):

(click to show/hide)

- There's a water gravity bug in KNDM04, which will be fixed by next version.
- The Skybox in KNDM02 hates Software mode in some (if not most) areas.
- KNDM16 has an odd skybox bug. I have no idea what causes it.
- Please don't host this with Saxton Hale. Although nothing can really stop you from doing so, consider the loss in motivation to update this pack you will be causing.

And finally, the changelog:

-CHANGELOG-

v1c:
- All maps: added a new music script - credit goes to Lego for this one.
- Maps with two way teleporters: made them compatible with Zandronum 2. Credit also goes to Lego for the script.
- Maps with underwater areas: Added the new underwater script.
- KNDM01: changed the name of the Killer Bullet actors so that they do not clash with the core ones.

- KNDM06: Added barriers around the map for homing weapons in non DM modes. The platforms leading to Drill Bomb can now be run over from the paths branching from the middle. Missing Block Monster lines fixed.
- KNDM07: Sandtorm script updated (by Lego) to be less laggy, and teleport destinations changed. Middle with middle, corner with corner. Middle structure now has an area below it.
- KNDM08: Small aesthetic update.
- KNDM09: Changed the number of Rock Thrower actors so that they don't conflict with balloons in rozpack.
- KNDM10: Large aesthetic update to fix a lot of bad texture placement around the map, and add more detail.
- KNDM11: Area with Picketmen and Fire Storm is gone, added running stairs in some places around the map, and fixed the missing Block Monster lines. Gyro Attack added, Thunder Bolt removed and replaced with Search Snake.
- KNDM12: Rearranged the Vboys close to walls.
- KNDM13: Small aesthetic update.
- KNDM14: Fixed a bug with the conveyor belts that caused them to retain speed on LMS between rounds (by Lego).

- KNDM15: W-Tank in underwater sand area replaced with Rush Marine. Wave Burner replaced Napalm Bomb and Crystal Eye. Drill Bomb and Danger Wrap replaced with Ice Wall.

- New maps: KNDM17, KNDM18, KNDM19 and KNDM20! (And I guess KNDM04 also counts, sort of...)


v1ah (hotfix of v1a):
- Most maps: some small tetxure fixes here and there. Little nitpicks.
- KNDM02: switched Flame Sword back to Scorch Wheel.
- KNDM05: switched Super Adaptor and Leaf Shield with each other.
- KNDM06: raised the height of the ceiling by 256 units.
- KNDM07: made the powerups in the huge taks visible. Hiding things in DM is never a good idea.

- KNDM11: added more detail and decoration.
- New map! KNDM16 - Storm Eagle

[Stardust]

I'd host this. 10/10. Moar map packz.

Can you actually die in these black textures fall in these pits? They seem so narrow, I don't even know if it's possible to fall in them.

[Emmanuelf06]

Good luck, pack maps are cool  

oh...is it possible to create some ennemis who can crush you ?... (like the one who throw a rock?)

It seems, they are pits?.... can be funny....how many maps do you want create? :V

[Dr. Crasger]

Looks rather cool. Make more.

[Knux]

Alright, time to elaborate.

I'm basically splitting off from Remixed maps because, as I stated earlier, I want better control over my maps and what happens to them. To date, I have over ten maps ready for this pack but I'm not releasing them right away. I need to make changes and adjustments to bring out quality.

Also, those aren't pits. They're mere decoration with invisible 3d floors to allow floor huggers like Water Wave to travel over them, and are 32 units wide. I can always do away with them if it discourages people, though.

On a side note, I'm not really excited to release this as people will play it with just mods and no vanilla anyway. That's... not very motivating.

[Zard1084]

i'd host it in vanilla knux if that makes you feel better.

[Knux]

That would be great, Zard.

You can go do it today if you want, too. The pack is out!

[Zard1084]

i can`t host because i still don`t have my Laptop.... sorry knux.... but if i did have my laptop then i would have hosted it.

[<geminibro>]

Honestly, KNDM04 is the worst map in the map, it's just, so.. Bland.

[Dr. Freeman]

I'm incredibly lazy to post elaborate thoughts but holy crap MM3 Skull Castle Exterior is a really fun map.

[Shmeckie]

Having tested a few of these maps for Knux back in the day, I can safely say these are some choice stages. I'll definitely be hosting this pack.

[Knux]

I noticed after looking at my maps that there's not a single one with grass on it! It's mostly rocks, snow and water. Gonna jot that down and... oh, right. I was already working on a little something for the next version before releasing this, too.

[Gumballtoid]

A lot of these maps are a blast to fiddle around on, but the two that caught my attention the most were MM3 Skull Castle Exterior and Commando Man. The former was of such quality that I would have believed it were in the core, while the latter sports one of the coolest gimmicks I've ever seen. Kudos!

[Geno]

All these maps are really cool!

I can't wait for BurstToadSword Man stage, or whatever that one is


The only gripes I have, are a few minor visual things to do with the skyboxes.

(click to show/hide)

The "ceiling" is darker than the "walls"

A line in the sandstorm effect (left), and a rather minor skybox texture cutoff thing (slightly right from the center)

Probably the most significant one, four chunks of cloud are missing, resulting in cyan lines in the cloud layer.

I understand the sandstorm one, as it is just 2 halves of the graphic that are moving separate from each other. (Most likely in order to not have one side animating the wrong way from how the sandstorm is actually pushing you, right?)
And the Guts Man skybox, maybe you were trying to do some sort of gradient-type thing?

[Gumballtoid]

In playing more on Conflagrated Plant, I'm finding Flame Sword is a little too easy to get. Maps it's featured in tend to have players going a bit out of their way to get a hold of it.
