category Ideas for Maps!

Suggested many times before. Probably won't happen since it requires a lot of work to redesign the map maker software (which, at the moment, is extremely annoying to use), and it won't generate much interest from players because most of them don't care about making custom maps and would much rather log in, play a few battles and leave, all with as few clicks as possible.

Maybe we should be able to have up to 3 saved personal maps... IDK if the server can handle that though

[Zehmiel 223]

The server could handle it currently, altough the servers really need to be upgraded since there is lag everywhere.

Best idea in I&S

Mapmaking is dead.

Looking for a level designer - results

The map files are saved into a .xml format, there are just a bunch of codes specifying where is located each prop into a 3D enviroment and some map files are between 1 MB to 3 MB, I guess the server can storage most of them

 

This is how the code looks like if someone was curious, basically it contains information about each prop that is placed on the map (the first one is named "Tile 2x1", it has a texture named "con2x1road" and is located in a certain coordinate on a 3D enviroment) and so on

^{_{i feel like a nerdy on this lmao}}

Why is it so complicated? Take some inspiration from Minecraft (self-explanatory), Robocraft (you can build your tanks, hovers, mechs and planes), Battle for Wesnoth (it has simple map maker) or generals.io (also has simple map maker).

[GorgoBlesk 831]

TO uses literally the simplest map file out there - XML file with x y z coordinates of different props. Editor and map file are separate things. I guarantee you, all of those games have much more complicated map files.

Then why does not everyone make Tanki maps?

Im not sure if this is really a problem but I really think solikamsk needs to be improved, the red team seems to be at a disadvantage when it comes to the enemy attacking, there seems to be too many entry points for the red 'base'.

 

The whole back area behind the flag is a little pointless since its not really a sniping area and only serves as a way to be attacked by the enemy from behind. The blue team also has significantly more cover than the red team.

Because not everyone knows or cares. Besides, once you make a map, there isn't much you can do with it.

Exactly, there used to be contests and everything though.

Map idea

 

Hello... Old players still remember the old maps like fort knox III , old silence , Labyrinth  and more . Well , my idea is that : 

 

1. Add those old maps back in tanki , so players will be so happy.

 

2. U can use old props , or the new ones . I think if u use old props wouldnt  damage the map or the game , like u did with old skins for thunder and viking ( also u can make those skins purchasable in garage , that will change the old players's gameplay function ) . I asked some players and they want that too.

 

3. Stop modify maps  ... Some maps are rlly hard and gameplay is a bit trash ... I want old maps to be back in game.

Colosseum map

 

we have gladiators so why not :3

Would look great as a custom map, but let's face it - devs won't create a whole new prop library for a single map, so if this was to be made, we'd end up with just another Stadium, only having tiers of "spectator seats" on all 4 sides, rather than 2.

Could be laggy, if it is actually a scaled down version of the real one.

Oh by the way, let's not forget that Tanki maps are based off square-shaped props, so making a circular/oval shape is impossible. So it would look like a really bad minecraft version of the colloseum.

Iran? I could see a 4 sided stadium becoming a MMS map if they scaled it down a bit and added props in the middle.

New hulls would affect the gameplay more than new props.

I was talking about the load on servers and the quality of gameplay, not how much the map would be frustrating for M1-people at Brigadier and up.

[Zehmiel 223]

Im thinking of it having 9 spawn points which are random and a control point in the middle. Spawn points in the sides ofcourse :D
