RedvsBlue TD- Picking up the Editor again...

Well, some of you older members may recall that I was working on a RedvsBlue TD map. I got out 3 versions, all which still resemble the classic TD, and for a while, I worked on a bit, trying to add new features, but then I just got bored of War3, and haven't touched the map since. Even while mapping, I wasn't a huge fanatic so I have a hard time picking up this again.

Well, since this was my first map, it left a fealing of unfinished work, which it is.
So I decided I'm going to try and make a couple more versions and see how it turns out, despite the fact that I have many more map ideas. More complex and much bigger in scale.

This isn't a complicated or complex map, but I still want to finish it.

Anyway, currently it's at version .04

Some things I want to do...
-While messing around in the map, my friend and I started playing a "King of the Hill" type game, and I decided I wanted to implament that for some added fun.
-An income system. Definatly not as extensive as in a War, but something where you get a small income each round. In this I want to include strong creeps that you summon to come against your maze. Each one you summon will give add to your per-round income. If one get's past though, you lose a life. The further away from the end-point you are the harder the creep.
-I possibly want to add a feature where 2 human players control and plan out the pathing of the creeps that attempt to get through, instead of the AI controlling it.
-Unique towers. As of now I'm lacking in original tower abilities.

Currently, I consider the terrain pretty much done. 2-P made a couple wonderful additions that spruced it up, but again, I think this is a completed step.

My real challange is balancing, and feature additions. With the feature additions being introduced by version and the balancing being made as needed.

Here is the current version of my map-
RedvsBlue TD

Feedback welcome
:)

I'll keep this thread updated with what I do, and hopefully can get get this map some interest.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
