RadioActive's Map Pack [DISCONTINUED] Map files/versions: 82

These are awesome maps, i was wondering what you use to make them?

 

Thanks mate
GIMP the best. I think I can record a video how I make them. I'll post it with the next update.

Just a quick note about S&S map. Somehow I forgot to add trees and I did not even notice that they are missing when this map was tested. Sorry guys and thanks to 8x, Leo and 101i.
It wasn't meant to be a trollmap :P You can download new updated version from the resource page or here: CTF, Sandbox. Main zipped folder and CTF pack will be updated with the next update.

The maps are nice, I have included them in the server although the flag is 1 block below the normal level, and I am using a princess instread of the default ctf flag so the princess looks like she is buried and only her head is shown. :D

Hmm... played sunnyside and it was awesome! although the useless things you put in these maps like the traps or death pits don't help the map, they make it less fun... in all I think you should focus more on gameplay a little than aesthetics.

 

Thanks and tbh I also don't like these traps and buildings in the middle except the bridge. I'm gonna remove them all in the next update.

FoxyLady if you find some time, that would be awesome.

 

You create map in GIMP? When yes what i must do it to create this typemap (classic)

 

Yes, I do. What exactly you want to know?
If you have problem with saving as 24bit png file, save your map as a normal png and then open it in Paint.Net. It has an option to save as 24 bit png. You can also use Nand's trick in GIMP.
And here you can check how I make my maps.
Good luck.

@RadioActive I have a question.
How do you determine where the border is gonna be on a map?

 

Hey,
Red barrier is automatically determined based on map's width. It covers always 34% of the map. The rest - 66% of the map is always allocated for building areas (33% on the left side and 33% on the right).

​

Sometimes red zone eats one or two pixels on each side and it's not exactly 34%. For example: If your map is 100px wide, width of building zones should be 32,5-33px and red zone 35-36px.
If you want to make more than one or two maps, I suggest you to use Paint.Net or Gimp and create templates with red zones as a layers.
In short: You can choose the size of your maps and make a test map with dirt and some grass or trees as "landmarks" and load it on the local server just to see where the red barrier begins, so you can mark it on the map template.

This is how my template (200x60) looks like in GIMP. When map is finished, I just turn it off and save the map:

If you use GIMP, you can download this template here (.xcf 2.8KB).

 

Thank you so much!

 

Hi @RadioActive, I noticed that there are some halls in a bad position, just 1 block left and right in "TrapFactory"

Anyway all maps are really awesome, i tested them in my server and they work well. Well done man!
