    I'm hosting a TDM server and would like some fresh new maps for it.
    So please, if you've made a map post it here. If it looks good I'll add it to the map cycle and you'll get credit for it.
    Note the server is modded to be knight only currently, but I might change this at some point.

    I made a lot of tdm maps for a modded TDM with dashing.
    Check carefully which ones are appropiated and which aren't for a knight only server. I also tweaked some vanilla maps to have more than 1 tent to spawn, and maps in general have several spawns positions.

    Wow, these are awesome! I'll definitely be adding most of these maps.

    What's your creative process? I'm finding that trying to make a map by placing pixels directly makes it hard to visualize how it's going to look. Numpad's map editor is quite good but is a bit outdated and missing some useful features like flood fill, undo/redo and stuff.

    I use Paint.NET and this palette

    Once you get used to the pixel it's almost like visualizing the map. You can however Make a local server with the maps you're making in the mapcycle, modify them on the paint software, load them with KAG open and alt tabbing to make minor changes and visualize them on the go (by savinf the map and /loadmap ingame)
    Before that, start with dirt and sky as 1st and 2ndary colour, from there to more detail.
