are you ready for Island Wars? sure you are!!!
i tried to make the palm tree in the middle as good as i could. hope you like it. i would have done more shading and stuff but i ran out of poligons [:-weepn]! full bot support is (of course [:D]) included. on the whole there is nothing to say about the map. so get over it! i must say i like it very much my self [^]!

here are the screens:

enjoy and i hope you like it!
comments, feedback, SPECIALY BUG REPORTS!! and other stuff regarding to the map are welcomed! you also may review this map on your homepage (if you have one). a short notification would be enough.

ps
did i already say that this is a deathmatch map [?]

EDIT: i've fixed some bugs found on the map. now it's realy smooth and cool to play! enjoy!

Really fun with a lot of people! The tree is cool too. The way you made underwater look was good too. I guess you were going for the non-realistic approach this time, because the map reminded me of a worms level a bit, with the big tree and all. The only thing I didnt like was the texture you used, and sometimes, I got stuck in the giant tree trunk 8|. I would give it a 8/10, nice map.

you get stuckded in the tree trunk???? i made passable so people would NOT stuck in there... must check this out. thx for the bug rep!

Yea, like, when I was flying thru it, I would get those sparks and that annoying sound, and my guy would stop for like 3 seconds and then continue on thru it. It only happened once...

then it's maybe just a code mistake of soldat. nothin big though! hope you like it overall buddy!

Wow. Very good map! [:D]

Well I usually don't play DM maps, but I have to say that this one is great and I keep on repeating it [8D]! The shading is cool and I like that you can play Jesus walking on water [:D]. Talking of which it (not the Jesus... the water) looks good. I found few polygon bugs... Check the screen below to see where.

Hmmm... Seems like I just screwed up the screen thing [xx(]... Well it works and that's all that matters. Green arrows show where I got inside the polygons.

first of all thanks for the good comments though! i'm glad you people like it!
and... yeah i know bout these poligon holes. it's because i made the isle with map maker pro which makes a lot of poligon holes. the rest of the level is made with the original map maker so there should be no holes in it. i can do nothing about it - it would mean making the whole island once again and i ain't got the nerves for that.
what about waypoints? any bugs?

oh and i've got two more questions:
1. do you think i'd had a chance in this map maker contest?
2. where is pitcairn island? [:)]

Why did you put the file folder inside another file folder?

This map is great. I think I will review this some time. Probably not right now, but I will later. My next map.

ALSO- I need staff, people to review maps and what-not. So if anyone could download this map and write a short review? I need something like this:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/gameconn/article.php?2.0

like the map...too bad about the minor problems :)

jaybday:how many staff do you currently have?

well, if you count all the reviewers...and the map makers...and the web designers...um. One.

XD, I know that was an overused joke, but it just hit me hard for like 5 minutes and made me tinkle, XD...

?

Psyl3ntShad0w:
what minor problems? if you find any then post them in here please!

Answers to your questions Killa:

1) Yes... And if I were you I would also think about joining the SMG...
2) I have no clue... I'm actually a Finnish guy living in Poland so I thought that it's not fair to put neither of those country's as my country... Pitcairn Islands sounded cool... But I have thought of moving to other islands... There... I just moved [:D].

alright i'll send my map to the contest. and what is smg? if it's something cool i'll also join it!

SMG = Soldat Mapping Guilt... Read the sticky thread by Flanagan in these forums for more info...

Hey Killa. Really nice map, really nice.

Because soldat doesn't work with connected polygon dont use them where players can walk on them. You can add fixing polygons (wich way I show in help) or disconnect polygons and move them little, so they little cross each others.

Also, you may want use "delete texture" button in water. [IMAGE] tip.jpg56.78 KB
(and don't remember put author name [;)])

damn typos.

Hmmm... So this is why delete texture is there... Oh and Meitzi, you seem to be quite proud of your certificate [:D]...

apro: cool avatar [:)]
and you have chosen a cool place to live dude!

meitzi: thx! yes! i'll delete the texture! looks much more better i think... still, i'll let the texture of the under water part of the island. look stylish! and i'll think about fixin the poligon sh|t by moving the poligons a bit. and then i'm gonna submit the map to the map contest thingy. i hope i'll get a good ranking! so wish me luck because that will be the first time that submit something to a contest on the net...

hey! here's an update for the map! i've removed the texture from the water part. looks much more cooler now i think... judge for your self:

the download link is the old one. so just go up there and get it!

be better if u could go into water instead of being like jesus or whatever and walk on it :/

go into water? do you know how deep it is? in addition to that you couldn't see anything while under water. no man. i'll leave it like it already is.

nice shading work and nice theme, gj!!

thanx! you're almost the first one to say smth about the map. and btw what's "gj"? good jesus? game junky? hm....

Good Job maybe :P

hm... maybe... didn't even think about it [:D]

lol :p it's a pitty that you didn't have polygons left, cuz now you weren't able to shade everything

yeah that's exactly what i though, too. if i had more of them i would have shaded EVERYTHING. maybe i even would have done some nice light fx.. who knows? who cares? it's just the way it is....
