Title: SPIFFEN 's Maps
Post by: SPIFFEN on April 15, 2010, 11:47:47 AM
Use the map name as SUBJECT when you post here plz ,
then it will be easyier to see what you'r talking about .
And the search should work better =)

(  Almost all of my maps are set as trivial ,
because i think its up to each player to find out how hard the map is for themself  
)

Spiffen: Why?

Why do you put a bunch of collectors under reactors on top of Odin City? It adds no energy collection and all it does is to  make your map more CPU intensive since stacked towers are more lagging than when they are not stacked.

I guess you all know about what i think about circels =P
http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=1015.0

I have big troubbel making them ( circels ) , so many of my ideas has been cancled .

But i have used alot of time on an map , and restarted the making of it many times .
So today i really set my mind to finnish it , and it ended up pretty good i think =P O'vice

I didnt use much time setting the Emitters and stuff , but i think it works nice as it is .

And dont get scared about my score / time , i really overbuild every thing for an long time ,
because i had used so much time on this map =P
( as i remeber seeing , i had over 350 deficit =S )

The map is uploaded , and you can also get it here :

Edit : Been accepted .

Although I don't play them very often, I like your maps as well. Especially the looks of them, because I'm a fan of symmetry and patterns, especially in art (and isn't map making a great kind of art? ;)).

The only problem with patterns in CW maps is that they might get a bit repetitive, causing the player to keep applying the same strategy/tactics, which is taking away a bit of the challenge for me. That's why I prefer your maps that have a somewhat more organic appearance.

They all look very cool though and I am impressed by the number of maps you have produced over the past months!

Finally I'd like to say that I really appreciate it that you submit a score for each of them; indicating that you're not only a good map maker, but also a good map tester. :)

Thx , UpperKEES =)
And i hope most players noticed my =P after i said that they did'nt dare to say that they loved my maps =)
It was ment as an joke to an post =)

I have made many pattern maps , because they usally get most played .
Might be because they usally has been an nice short map to play , but still gives an bit of fun to play .

And i must say that i'm abit disapointed that my face map hasnt gotten more attention ,
it is an nice map , and is nicely made if you compere it to the real pic and the gameplay , i think .

An Blaster test map to show that the Blasters does'nt fire as i would like it to =P
An Blasters always fires up and to the left over and over again ,
but i think it should fire to the right and down aswell =P

I noticed that with  Dream (http://knucklecracker.com/creeperworld/mapcomments.php?id=2654&page=) by  Miss Melissa (http://knucklecracker.com/creeperworld/viewmaps.php?author=Miss+Melissa). When I was protecting the survivors on the top and bottom by sending a blaster to each one, the top blaster did its job, but the bottom one I had to put into the pit to get it to fire in there. A bit annoying.

When I was protecting the survivors on the top and bottom by sending a blaster to each one, the top blaster did its job, but the bottom one I had to put into the pit to get it to fire in there. A bit annoying.

I also noticed it at exactly that same map. Of course the blaster has to make a choice when the distance to the creeper is the same in multiple directions, so I think there's nothing that can be done about it. I find it more annoying that a blaster not always fires at the creeper that is really closest, like when it's flowing down from a ridge (see here (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=942.0)). I noticed this again on my latest map (Hard Art 1: Horsemen (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4032.0)), where you will see this same behaviour at the hind legs of the horses.

NB: I think a new topic would have been better for this issue, because Virgil probably won't read this.

Yes i think your right about that , so if someone does , they should copy these last post or link them ,
if they dont get moved or something .

right now i can remember this trubble when i made this map :
(http://knucklecracker.com/creeperworld/thumb.php?id=2003)
SPIFFENs Steps 5  (http://knucklecracker.com/creeperworld/mapcomments.php?id=2003&page=)

And i ended up with Blasters from the start , because they did'nt fire as i wanted to .
Might noticed it before that too , but thats the map that poped up in my mind at the moment .
Title: Re: SPIFFEN 's Maps
Post by: SPIFFEN on July 23, 2010, 04:49:18 AM
I have asked for the posts to be moved to :
Blasters fires only up and left .  (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4045.0)

Lol i started working on an 300 map , because im close to have posted so many maps =P
But this map will end up in the trash because it lags to much ,
im only up to 60 sec off 300 sec for the Emitter spawning idea =P
So to many Emitters are stacked and make this map an waste of time to finnish and play if it was finnished =)

For those who want to see it as it's now ,

Oh i just noticed , i've posted more than 400 maps now =P

I did'nt manage to make the map work as i hoped ,
but still an nice challange i think .
The idea was that you had to put Blasters in the sink to even manage to survive ,
but it still should help you save abit of energy to do so , i think .
Im sure many others would have the patient to test/manage to do so =)

Well , after alot of changes , the map ended up like this :
