PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAY THIS ON YOUR SERVER (so I can play too 8) )

Been doing some neat work with inkscape lately, this map started out as just a little doodle, and became a map....
I used the SVGtoPMS command line application to port the SVG to PMS, Special thanks to Aquarius for the nice utility...

After the port, I opened it up in the development version of PolyWorks, this is where the map really gets it charictor... the coloring was extreamily fast, and painless... the setting of the scenery was a total brezee also... as you can se I scaled the scenery down a bit, and added a shadowing effect on some of the trees...
I did all the powerup placement and start points with polyworks also...
A verry special thanks to Anna, for her ongoing work.. this is a really nice application... everyone should come to the IRC channel and give Anna some (useful) feedback,...

after the all the good looking fluff... I opened up Mapmaker Plus for the AI.. I really like the Hotkeys , Thanks alot Mark.jp for doing such a nice job on the mapmaker plus :) I love the full screen too..

well, after the bots, it was back to polyworks for the final build... because of all the small polys in my maps, I must compile in polyworks to avoid bouncy polys... Anna has made it so bouncy polys are a thing of the past 8)...

well anyways... here are the 2 maps...

Here is the overview...

it is a small map.. I bet 8 players would have a toaly rockin match... the hills are creat when attacking... as you tumble down the hill your jetpacks recharge for your return trip...

the attacks are lots of fun! the Bots are RUTHLESS!!

As you can see, I was a bit more selective onthe scenerry... the entire cemetery on the bottom is only 6 scenes for all of it! (excludeing the l337 statue)

Lol...
anyways

Have fun! the bots are working pretty good!

BTW, just for fun I included some TACO bots , LOL!

Scenery death.

ITS DISNEY WORLD!

What in Gods name..

if soldat played with up to 1000 sceneries without lag, id play this.

The one with the statue in the center looks like an actual picture put as a scenery .BMP.

A lot of those sceeries don't have the soldat feel to them... Proportion and coloring are a big factor.

Thanks for all the nice comments...

here is a thumbnail of all the included decorations...

[IMAGE]

Not the usual, for the most part...

I did most of them by hand to avoid the Blurry-out of focus, default soldat scenery look...

It is not a decoration pack to complement the default decorations.
it is totaly new and improved (in my opinion).
as I have stated before the scenery pak is a Work In Progress (wip). some of the scaleing, and colors are going to change in the future...

I am going to be working on a game verry simular to Soldat, and stick figures 3...
the only diffrence is that it wont be 2d cutouts for the graphics, it will all be done with high resolution meshes, and a 3d game engine called AMP II ... It will have dynamic lighting and shader effects like most of the popular 3d shooters...

anyways, I am going to go and try to get more vehicles scaled down.

going to spend some time today and map out a nice CTF map... should be easy now with all the nice decorations 8)

Meh!

Hey i like the scenaryois :D

Nice object pack! :) I like that very much
