Title: I Need To Test My Creation
Post by: xxxxxs on March 18, 2007, 10:48:52 AM

i created a map 2x2 and i call it ''Duel in the end of the earth''
it's a very little map but i don't know how to test it!

if someone can test it for me ill be glad :)

the rules are simple:

you must hit your enemy with extremely precision and strategy!
wen you destroyed the enemy units destroy the enemy command center to win!
PS:one question...how do i post my map here?

Thats just a .DAT file, we need the .map file too. The map file holds the actual map. The .DAT file holds things placed on the map.

Ok, now in order to make that into a mission, I'll have to make some slight changes:

1) The command centers can't be against the wall like that, op2 won't let you build buildings that close to walls.
2) You did nothing with the cell type layer. As it is, the lynx can go anywhere despite the walls. The graphics are just pictures, you need to paint impassible cells onto the map too. (it's the third button on the menu bar, read this too if you ever make a map again: http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Cell_Types) (http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Cell_Types)). I'll fix it for this map though (since i already have it).

Also, what are the advanced labs for in the top left? And, do you want the walls to be normal walls? Meaning, can you shoot them to destroy them?

I'll make the mission file (dll) when you can answer those questions, and I have some free time.

Ok, here it is:

Battle_in_the_end_of_the_world.map (http://users.outpostuniverse.net/mcshay/Maps/BattleToTheEnd/Battle_in_the_end_of_the_world.map)
ml2_bte.dll (http://users.outpostuniverse.net/mcshay/Maps/BattleToTheEnd/ml2_bte.dll)

The first file is new modified .map file. The second is the mission .dll file.

You can play the map in multiplayer, it's a 2 player Last One Standing map. It's called, "2P, LoS, 'Battle To The End Of The World'".

You can also play it by yourself by hosting the game like you were going to play a lan game, then starting a second op2 window, and joining the game you started.
