At least I wasn't the first to do it. This is different because its not a tournament, its a community event.

 

This also coming from someone who has hosted "Coolanada" and "World Cup" tournaments in the past.

Nice !

I like your map.

It's big and cool and looks like a good place to battle.

I would suggest though, that the flag areas have two exits, so that one can enter via two ways.. If flag area is "blind" then it can easily becomes a trap for the defenders as well as an invinsible fort in some occasions (mammoth/firebird supported by two viking/isidas and a whatever/freeze...

Hello, 

If you want to create a basic map the first thing you'll need is AlternativaEditor ... which i'm guessing you'll already have.

Then chose the props you want to use, the older Library (Maps that were created using the props for red alert, highland, Iran etc ...) or you can download the 3rd Library (newest props). Once you've done that, read the guide made by @cheese3000, that will help you learn the controls of AE, the thing you'll need to know most is this:

 

 

 

• Use only old props or only new props, do not mix them. <-- It seems the developers have been mixing the Older Library with the 3rd Library. 
• Mix tile props, don’t repeatedly use the same tile prop.
• Don’t overlap props (you can overlap spawn points and flags but nothing else).
• Try not to have too many open spaces.
• Make sure that both sides are equal, and one side doesn’t have a huge advantage against the other.
• Try and not make your map symmetrical.
• Make sure the flag positions are easily known.
• Place spawn points on the ground.
• Place bonus drops 2-3 above the ground.
• Try and keep your map under 2.8 MB (2867.2 KB), which is a good guideline for size, and also the actual limit for maps.
• Examples of making maps better by adding props, and changing the texture on props(using the blue sphere button):

Welcome to the first week of the event! I'd like to start of by thanking those who have been faithful to our cause and who have given us your feedback on what we create. You are what helps us keep going. We would not only appreciate your continued support, through this event and beyond, but to also refer your friends to this page, they may thank you for doing so someday. Map making is a creative and fun hobby that can be easy to pick up. If you're not proficient in Photoshop or Gimp, you can create a map with the resources provided on the front page and have something just as worthy of artistic recognition.

 

We have a great line up to kick of the first week with a small, out of this world map by Adriel and a submitted idea inspired Glacier by myself. Get to working on your map and look for the maps out on Friday.

You can find them on the first post...as of now they are available to everyone. Our previous inclination was to have just the 3rd library available to see what you can do with that prop library, which is a bit more simplistic than the others. Now, the 3rd library is not as new and Rio has mixed props, so we've decided to release it for all to use. The library also has exclusive "dead" textures to the grass which are not compatible with TTT (so don't use them).

Week 1 - Glacier

Players: 16 Total (8 VS 8)

Props: Regular, v1, 3rd library

Inspired by the request for a map centered around the dispute over the Siachen Glacier between India and Pakistan. The map is of course symmetrical because both countries claim sovereign over the region at the moment. Thank you for the suggestion, pratyush.

 

How about Siachen?

Wow! Glad I suggested it! You've transformed one word into an excellent future map! :)

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SKYPE AND NOT ALSO GOOGLE+!!? :angry: :angry:

[1stsuperwhitedragon 408]

You can find a FAQ in the first page, about how to make maps. Download AE and TTT to make your own map! ;) Good luck, we have a event called "March Mapmaking Madness"

What is FAQ, AE and TTT?

 

Don't quote all the post

In skype you have more communication

I don't have Skype!!!:(
