    I tried to start a game with Canyon Wars but there were no spawn locations and after the auto starter the game spassed out counting up and down from 5 to 1 and 1 to 5.

    You could probably individually lift each crack out of the ground...

    deeper the crack the wider it is, unless i want to change them all via editing the .pas directly then i can make them shallower and also wide

    ah, that's true
    though you could scale them up a bit, and lift them out...

    @jables - is it possible to make nukes do a bit of a look ahead and average out the height over say, a seconds' worth of future travel to determine what altitude it should be? This should prevent what's happening here:

    Ok bear with me here,
    I've been playing a lot of my combat commander mod and it's very fun. In particular having lanes and using your comms on the team arena match is really awesome. (Btw the excessive mountains in team arena lag like crazy - perhaps scoop out the whole map using craters instead?).


    I want a MOBA style 3 lane map, similar to Smite:

    [​IMG]

    The left lane here is the 'long' lane, for 2 players. The short lane on the right is solo because it's easier to get back to a turret. If you could maybe emulate this by having easier obstructions to hide in for the right hand lane and more open to ganking on the left hand lane. Perhaps try using desert plateaus in the jungle, so they can actually be used for projectile cover rather than those metal planet dividers which you can shoot over. Let me know as you start work on it and I can explain a bit more about what I want :)

    Maybe add a mex or two around the spawns. Not directly on them, somewhere "close by". Maybe like 4 extra mex around each spawn.

    Apart from that: Excellent work.

    New Version of team arena has a clear back side reducing it's size by over half. It should be the current .pas from this thread.

    About your request I will try and take this on asap but I'm going to try and help make some of the planets with the other genesis guys for the 1v1 tournament. Also guest1 has taught me a few cool tricks to edit via the .pas so I'll be reworking some things on the arena maps soon to make them work better game play wise

    I will get those edits done once I'm home and I'll be taking screens and releasing it later.

    Ah sorry my fault, it was a 7 FFA game with the map pack from PAMM.
    I will give it another try with 8 players.

    Cool, Thanks Gandalf. Time to work out why PAMM's UI has died so I can actually install the map.

    If a commander blows up in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it still make a sound?

    Started dabbling with the map maker myself last night, was a bit of a struggle and had an idea, but thought I’d check this type of feature doesn’t already exist before I plough time into it and as you seem to be furthest along with these things seemed like a good place to ask.
    Idea - Do we have a planet of each biome type with every possible csg laid out in size order – a ‘csg pallet’ if you will?
    Benefit - This may reduce the need to jump back and forth between planet types trying to find the specific piece you need, so make it all that much quicker.

    There's a modded planet that has it already, can't remember the name.
