Unapproved Map Discussion

[UpperKEES]

Description:

The Creeper has a cross-like place to battle here.

Opening text:

The Creeper has Spore waves here, but they stole your SAM's! Get them back before the Spores get you!

Rejection message:

I have rejected this map because the totems within the crazonium cross can't be reached, even though you left a few tiny gaps. Besides that it would take about 10 minutes before the SAM tech can be reached, while the first spores arrive after 160 seconds. After reading your opening text it seems that you just like to bother people.

Note that it is mandatory that you test and are able to complete your own map, as you can read above the upload form. Please submit a score when you upload your next map before it can be approved. You can read here how to do this: http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0

Description:

i have hidden some of the totems you have to find them to win

Rejection message:

I have rejected your map because quite some structures -including totems- have been build outside the visible area of the map. We have decided not to allow that after an experiment, even if it's mentioned in the description. It will be fixed anyway in the next patch of the game, which would make your map useless. I hope you'll understand.

Description: you have a safe haven, thor from the beginning and probably the four most powerful emitters you have ever seen

Rejection text: You're right, with 4 maxed out emitters so widely dispersed, not even a Thor stands a chance.  Unless you post a score (see http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0) this map cannot be approved.

Description: its dark, hard and a pain.

(X_X)


Also: welcome to the darkness of Shadow Hills......
i've made it easy for you by having it brighter.
but if its very easy.... well i'm going all out to stop it!!!!


Rejection message:  Yep, it's too hard if we have a bunch of maps to approve. Please see here (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0) how to post a score to prove your map conforms to the requirement that it must be winnable.

Description: spore incoming from the north, creeper needs to be taken care of, hard for me, prolly easy for most of you

Rejection: Sorry, even if it is hard for you, please post a score to prove the map is beatable. See here for instructions: http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0. The spore waves seem too intense to allow survival.

Description: mmm..... yer its have and... well

(Translation:  Yes, it's hard and .. well)

Rejection: ... Well, impossible to complete.  You positioned the totems behind moderately strong emitters that erupt every 2 seconds. It is not possible (see bottom left of my image) to contain (cap) the emitter and build a collector that near the emitter without the emitter destroying the collector. Thus your map cannot be completed. If you correct this problem, I'm sure this will be a rather nice, playable map. if you disagree with my assessment, post a score (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0) and I will approve your map.

Easy! Just build enough drones to bombard the emitter so the the collector can be made and totem be charged.

Did that before when Thor wasn't enough to keep the relays in place. (I used over 100 there...)

You only tested with just one? Try doing it with more of them. And if I'm not mistaken, you can make more than one if you pause the game.

First of all, we don't have to test anything. We do this as a gesture to the community so the quality of the maps stays high. It's the job of the map maker to test their own map. If we are in doubt we reject a map and ask the author to submit a score, because we don't have to prove anything.

Secondly, what old version are you using? Building multiple Thor's isn't possible for ages.... Better apply the latest patch.

ssddgghh doesnt have the game , as i know .
So it's abit strange that ssddgghh is so active , maybe it's an #2 nickname =P
Or it might be an use of an hacked game =(

Cheats, what do you mean by cheats?

[UpperKEES]

I have tested my map and all, but then made some things to make it slightly easier. i have a (cheated) version to show that is possible to keep the creeper away from the collector. The only cheats were some speed units to get stuff done faster and the reactors. the name is marenia by the way.

(I have a problem with the map size... it's 1 Mb)

Does this mean the one in the queue should be rejected and you'll upload a new version? If not I'd like to see a score for the current one.

looks like people are doing a good job on testing right now...

I have rejected your map because it seems quite hard to beat. Please submit a score yourself, so I can approve it. You can read here how to do this: http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0
