User Created Maps

Im my spare time I've been creating some maps for allegiance. People spoke of a map previously that had an aleph which had an extra low signature which took your straight to the enemy home. Well i've created a map and made a little adaptation to that idea.

Instead of the map having an extra low sig aleph to the enemy home it has it to one of the centres of the map. If you secure the sector which contains the aleph leading to the enemy home, you can set about sending out scouts to find there home aleph thus doing an uneyed bomb run.

I also made it so the map had potentially four choke points. The choke points although may seem a bit excessive will be hard to defend due to the amount of ways into the points.

Here is another map Ive created. I got the idea from limited diamond which I think is a great map. I've adapted that map and came up with this.

Diamond Mine

Both teams start off with a garrison, 1 He3 Spec mine and a teleport in there adjacent sector to there home.

I wanted to beef up each teams econ a little bit but not too much. Im still not sure of the spec mine.

Anyone else created any maps they would like to share.

I like the second one, the first one is a bit complex

e-mail them to me and I'll put them up. I just paid for another 2 years of hosting costs and have about 400+ GB of free space on my web server

If you could, it'd be nice to have some copy written up about the maps and thumbnail pictures of each.

Thanks.

Ive got free hosting with unlimited bandwith from my isp, granted its only 150mb, but it does for hosting my maps. I created a few more. I will upload them later.

You should definitely arrange your maps on the minimap so that lines connecting sectors do not cross.

`1

or even worse, a line goes behind a sector, e.g.

0--0--0

now, do those outer sectors both have one link to the middle one, or are they a triangle with a link between the 2 outer sectors that that goes behind the middle one, or is the middle one not connected to anything and there is only 1 link that links the 2 outer sectors

that diagram could be used for 3 different maps, having 1, 2 or 3 links

These maps inspired me to create one too. In this map, lines do cross, but due to the fact that this is based on one of the most popular maps, I think it doesn't create too much confusion. I just don't know how to make it real/playable.

I call it OutsideIn

Same map but with no crossovers.

Mesial catch my on irc or something and I'll show you, it's not overly hard technically, most of the issue is making a decent map. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
