New Map Kalahari

Your not going to be a map-maker with that attitude..

 

No one in the English community will ever become a map maker :lol: Russian admins specifically asked their map makers not to accept English players.

great map...well done :)

You need something around the edge, either a sloped wall all the way, or a straight one going up/down(I think a straight wall going down would be the best).

The pipes either need to be more connected, no just randomly placed around the edge in small clumps(I think that would work better, with this type of map).

The boxes either need to go, or get bigger, or be connected to a wall...If you got a few wall(straight) around the edge, and placed the boxes against them, it would look a lot better

The walls need to be longer, putting in a few corners, and more |\ (broken down edge) at the ends of them.

Don't have the containers so neatly placed, and change the color...... Randomizing the colors of them will look a LOT better. If you have them in un-regular shapes it will look better, and be better for the map.

Don't randomly scatter buildings. If you place them in a orderly, and understandable way it will look a LOT better, and be better for the map.

Break up straightness, and order when it comes to the ground, having straight edges, and perfect corners can RUIN a map, check this to see how to make it look better.

Place more bushes around the map, and turn off snapping so they aren't all exactly on the grid, it looks a lot better...

Place towers, ramps..etc with some thought about here they are, it looks odd to have them placed randomly around the map.

Tower with ramps in blue corner: Looks really odd....Try changing the starting ramps to the 1x1 slopes, and don't change it from 1 wide to 2, stay the same all the way up...Also the tower at the top looks odd, and doesn't work, either remove it, or move it down, or somewhere else.

Bridge around edge: Looks odd, and doesn't really work. The ramps up to it are bad, why so random, disconnected, and bad to use?(on the one entrance, the other isn't so bad) Also use the 1x1 slope with a hole in it wisely, it looks out of place when randomly placed within a ramp.

Middle lower thingy: It looks odd, and the slopes are all over the place, try and make it as user friendly as possible.

To many drop points, and to grouped together, scatter a FEW around the map, in good positions(also, there are such things as 2x3 drop points, not only 1x1 and 2x1).

The respawn points are also not to great, you seem to have gone for quantity, instead of quality...Think about where enemy's will go, and think where it would be good/bad to respawn.

Thats what I think, not all of it is that important, and almost certainly some of it is incorrect.

well your opinion is not more important then main map makers so idc !..

Well, you should. Listen to feedback, even if it is critical, and doesn't praise your map.

Also, the "Main mapmakers" would almost certainly be more harsh, mean and critical then skitee, or anyone else on this forum, the maps have to be of a very high standard...

 

No one in the English community will ever become a map maker :lol: Russian admins specifically asked their map makers not to accept English players.

Yes they will...

MonkeyMagic was accepted, I was accepted (no longer in it, but nevertheless) and yes, they said there were going to be no English mapmakers, but then they said it would continue as before, in other words English people would still be accepted if they were good enough. That may have changed, but I am not aware of any changes.

 

Also hogree is right, unless you have a good attitude and a good portfolio you wont be accepted.

So now criticism is not allowed because it goes against etiquette?

 

I would try to take your etiquette post seriously, but your reputation goes before you.

I think I conveyed my criticism sensibly and appropriately, if you didn't take it that way, I apologise for the wrong impression which was given.

 

About my articles, it's happened before, I accept it. I don't care about criticism, it happens a lot to me. Read some of the articles, some of them have scathing criticism.
