since the first map (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4485.0) already got posted for map #3000 (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4551.0)
I'm starting another
feel free to add a quote to the opening text (or artifacts)
Any one can help
please make sure to test the map to completion if you have made a change to the terrain, emitters, or overall gameplay. (most people dislike impossible maps)
EDIT: no more changes to the terrain (background in progress)
Why not? I guess I will help a bit. I raised the middle of the map, and put odin city there.
Made the middle elevation into a volcano, put an emitter there and some totems.
Also made my part of the opening text.
made walls around oc
2 more totems
made center emitter more
other emitters less
added to opening text
named: Etna (a volcano in Italy)
tested to the point where i know it was winnable
and sqaz, there was no opening text from you.
Changed the terrain around the volcano and the totem placement.
QuoteOnce again, I start my edit with a bang.
Changed the colors for collectors, Creeper, and mist.
Added techs.
Added upgrades.
Removed all but blaster and collector tech.
Gave player more starting ground.
Made an artifact with a funny on it.
Added mines.
Added one spore wave meant to annoy the player one time if they are not prepared.
Can someone check the volcano for accessibility?
I don't have time to, near bed.
STUPID COMPUTER!
Messed everything up.
Wouldn't save 005 as .cwm so I named it to c5 so it would.
And then it said I already posted whats in the quote, and I didn't.
I hate this computer.
Changed a little bit of everything.

That happended too me too. it said it wasn't a .cwm file so i had to rename it with .cwm
if the computer won't save it right, that's fine, the goal was to have a general format so that everybody wouldn't have a different format

Problem being, can't upload it unless it's a .cwm file.
what I meant was, if you can't put it in the format ###.cwm it's ok, only on the first community map the formap changed about five times, so I was just trying to make it so that it would be in a nice constant format (if you have to use a different format C###.cwm is ok, C#.cwm is ok, and C##.cwm is ok, and anything is ok, as long as it expresses that is the next map)
had the thing too once, saved it as .cwm, and the name became ***.cwm.cwm
i would also want to know why everybody here seems to be that fanatic about putting techs everywhere (and not include reactor in this one)
lowered corner emitters' intensity (slightly) for smoother gameplay
added some suvivel pods
moved tarion around a little
moved techs around
the suvivel pods can be reached
Intensified the emitters inside the volcano, destroyed all techs and gave them as basic technology (I don't understand why you always spread all techs around it doesn't add anything extra to the map) and tested till completion.

I don't get it either.
creativity seems to be running out,
If somebody could do a background for it that would be great.
Ask and thy shall receive, I didn't post a score yet though, so you might want to do that.
A background picture has been uploaded, so no more changing the terrain, except if you'll put in a new better background.
This is what it looks like:

Well moved the Pods down a bit, up on the ridge I couldn't seem to connect to them before they were destroyed. Also added a Thanks for playing CM2. Sorry no chocolate bars here

That's really awesome. Where do u get those textures?
I just used google, and then gave each elevation it's own background with GIMP.
Oh and I removed the spores cause I removed the SAM tech accidentely last time.
.... kay i give up what is the opening move? exept for rescuing survival pods then...
I built in order 2 reactors, a reactor and a blaster, a reactor and a blaster, some more reactors than a mortar.
you guys do good work :P

If you who made it cant post an score , i dont think i can either =P
So i'll wait until it get posted before i give it an try ;)
I'll probably upload a score this weekend, I once finished it with the Survival pods on a harder place to reach.
I can make a better background if wanted..

I'll make a background now then.. Hang on :) I Need a big cup of coffee...
I'm done in about 30-40 mins...
(remember, it is a volcano) :D
Here it is.. Hope you can use it.
For best look i think theese settings should be used:
Edge Size = 0
Level Tint 1 = 0.90
Level Tint 2 = 1.09
Level Tint 3 = 1.3
Level Tint 4 = 1.3
Level Tint 5 = 1.3

Just contact me if the picture need some modification or you want the .PSD file for editing it yourself.
That looks great, I've put the background on the map, and will now play for a score.
Don't do it yet, I need to fix a little fault.
It's fixed. You have to download the picture again, I'm sorry.
I noticed that problem as well. Too bad, as I was almost done when I realized it didn't match the terrain near the lower right corner. This is the version I'll submit my score on.
We need quality control! :p
I took my time about it, but my score is in. 17:28/7744
I'm sure someone will be able to beat that easily, as I had all I needed to win by around 12 minutes in, I just took awhile to cap the last emitter.
uploaded ;D
hmm, I think I'll start a third ???
