I need suggestions on how to improve my map. I'm totally out of idea's.

Heres a short description of the map:
There are 2 teams, red and blue. It's a capture the flag type of game. Everybody is a sniper which kills with 1 hit. To shoot you have to press the attack ground button then click where you want to shoot.

Download the map here.

Latest version is 1.14.

Amazing! I found only one single flaw: It doesn't work.

Forgive my cynicism.

It works for me. Redownload it, maybe the file was corrupt. I just found a very horrible bug, I forgot to change the version ingame to 1.08. So I've uploaded it again.

By the way, what kind of window is that? I've never seen that before.

Nevermind, I just noticed that it's a mac, right?

Your map is of considerable quality, in my opinion. If this is your first map, it's very impressive. It is, however, still rather unfinished; It could use some more work.

There is only one neutral building in the map. While these can be easily placed on the map, they often increase the quality of the game significantly.

The ability tooltips are incomplete: You can't read the properties of the hero abilities before learning them.

The terrain is moderately varied, but has no rivers or lakes, which could be interesting. Also, I recommend enabling the players to walk on the cliffs.

There are rather few triggers: There are no special events.

Also, creep camps could make the long march towards the enemy less tedious.

Usually, the word "Hint" in hint messages is written in solid green. To cause text to turn green, use this color code: |cff32cd32TEKST|r. Also, you accidentally forgot to type a space between the words "in" and "front" in the first hint message.

Thanks, this is my 3rd map. But the first map that is decent in my opinion.

I'll change the terrain and the tooltips but what do you mean with the special events and neutral buildings?

I don't think I'll be adding creeps because I don't see how they would fit into the map.

Ideas for your map
(havent had time to play it yet, i will probally have some tonight)

Im not sure if you have this or not but if you do, you can just ignore it.

First blood -Displays the first person killed and gives extra gold to the killer
Double and Triple kill - Kills 2,3 units in a short amount of time for extra gold.

Weather effects, causes your heros to be weaker/stronger due to the weather state.

Neutral buildings include Fountains of Mana, Goblin Merchants, Mercenary Camps, et cetera.

I tried to create the double/tripple kill things but it didn't work. If any one knows how to get it to work please tell me.

Nevermind I figured out how to make it work! Now if I only had the Unreal Tournament announcement sounds...

are ur remaking snipers from warcraft, or starcraft?

generally i think the warcraft version sucked...
the abilities and different height therrains really screwed it up
starcraft version was awsome, it actually required skill

Never played starcraft. And the warcraft version sucked, that's why I remade it.

I already got the double kill stuff with the UT2003 announcement voice! :D

Make sure your version is acually.... own proof like people cant own everyone cause they killed first.

  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such

    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
