KW Pacific Heights (2-4)
I finished it. Think vacation resorts have competitive prices? Think again. This map feature four symmetrical vacation resorts as they vie for the top spot. Three enterances to each base, two directly from another base and the third to the middle island.
EDIT: I added the little neighborhood to each island, "unfilled" the tib craters, and did a few touch ups. At this point I am sick of this map and am moving on.
*bump* no downloads? maybe I should put up a better pic. (I figured since all four sides are symmetrical, you only needed to show one side, however it seems I must show the whole map to get people interested). _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Dude looking back on the very first RA and C&C games,cliffs were varried
more relistic,in TS and RA2 different levels were classed by short drop cliffs which looked pretty bad if they wanted to make a different enviroment,make it seem more real,it should spark memroies but it should'nt be too detailed that the whole map doesn't make the person remember the RA2 map
and keep trying, compared to most maps it has some intresting points
i mean a few online maps are just made to help the owner win.
,i was not great when i started making maps and i dare say i'm any better now.

You can't see the Tiberium inside of the crater, Dude.
Maybe this will make it clearer:

You raise some very good points. its _too_ RA2 like. Vary the terrain. And add more buildings. I know there were houses by each little bridge. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

You guys seem to miss the point...
DaFool and I will be recreating the RA2 maps. Nothing more, nothing less.

-I cut the houses next to the bridge because I thought it would cut into the build space, I'll see what happens tonight.
-The Forgotten just showed me how to fix the tib craters, so thats settled.
-Making varied terrain is probably my weakest point. Really all I know how to do it paint ares on and then blend them. To make the terrain looked varied, do I swirl one texture in an area of another and then blend them?
-I might lower the sand bridges. Just to make it look more natural.
-I might add some cars and people. But from what I've seen, there is only one civilian.
-If I'm feeling creative, I might add some eye candy that doens't affect gameplay. That is, boats in the water.
-I need someone to test this with me. Online people are just....looking at my world clock, I'll probably log onto KW online when it's 10 o'clock in London (maybe later). _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Looks good! It's only a shame that the scale on TW maps is much smaller then on TS/RA2. You need to multiply the original map sizes by 3 to get a decent TW map. Not bad for small maps, but recreating 8 player maps with this logic may be very difficult... QUICK_EDIT
@Clarkson: I wash my hands of this map, I am finished with it. (read what I write to the forgotten).
@The forgottten: Sure, I have no problem with that. If you can take this amp to the next level, then by all means do it. (Just call it something like Pacific Heights 2.0 or Pacific Heights edited by The Forgotten, you know how it goes). You can add anything you want to it.
@Dutchy: I have a clever idea for this, I can make half the map, and then relfect it (can I even do this?) This way I don't have to kill my comp with the memory overload. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

I called it Cloudy views,all i'm letting out is its a red/yellow zone with a few features,on the map settings its says done by TiberianFiend(me),creds to "name entered orignal" for Pacific heights
I can add a script with this in if you want. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
