Follow the tips below to make your map even better!


Tips!


Use GEM Editor (http://digitalmindsoft.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5) to create your multiplayer map.

Think about what makes fun and why it does so, than start drawing down the most important elements on a paper sheet.
Give enough room for both, the player spawn and combat area. Create enough possibilities to use different tactics to win the map, but make sure it's balanced for both sides. Open the possibilities to engage the enemy from different locations, don't create superior defence lines or positions, otherwise you will force the players to rush for them. Make yourself clear thoughts about what you want to do and why, than you may start working on your map!

Better to waste your work and to start from scratch, than working around your mistakes. Better to drop your ideas than making them half working.



Info!**

By sending your map to the contest, you agree to give all rights concerning the distribution of your map to Best Way company in order to release the map along with the sequel (this will be only the case if you are one of the contest winners. All winners will be included into the credits, if their maps are included aswell). Furthermore you accept to give all necessary distribution rights to DMS \ Best Way \ 1C to make these maps available for free to everyone on any websites / pc magazin disks and/or other media platforms (all map authors will be credited).

If you notice bugs you can post an updated version of your map in here until the votings start, but be aware of that your last version will count for the contest and that many versions of your map may lower your chance to win because people will get a first impression of it and mostly will keep it. So post the map in a polished state and no wips!
You are also allowed to post more than one map, but make sure you invest enough time for each one, or it will lower you chance to win again. Better invest your time in one good map, than in several poor ones. If you are fast and good enough you can post multiple maps ofcourse, nobody stops you! :)

Best Way and DMS mapdesigners can participate in the map contest to increase tension and quality. They are not able to win the first prize, but can take part in the community votings, it will help to increase multiplayer map quality of both sides, fanmade and company made. Also we think it will be a nice challenge for the community! So enjoy and good luck to everyone! :)




Have fun and enjoy the contest! :twisted: :twisted:
Discussion is allowed in this topic!


How to registrate? Just post your finished map in here and you will be an official participant!

[kaktuz]

EaH! New contest! :typing:

what about number of player?
it can be 2x2 or 8x8.

i think it is more difficult to make big intresting map, rather then small ...
maybe it will be more than one category ?
For example, the best of 2x2, the best of 4x4 etc..

[Instinct]

The map size and player amount is free to choose, we don't limit it, except the gamemodes! :)

A big good map is harder to do, but maybe people prefer it to a small one ;)

[Tigerkiller]

Think I'll have a go at this, 'bout time I was able to show my mapping talent! :lol: I'll start right away :) Good luck to everyone participating! :realbig:

[C0ntrol]

ARRGH! Darn you Instinct! :D 2 days earlier and I would've had 3 perfect maps for you.. Well now when they are already released, I think I need to start making a new one..

[filon102]

My is on the way ^^!!!!!!! :lol:

[C0ntrol]

You can also count me in! I've already got an idea pending ^^

[filon102]

I got a Q: What if u cant do minimap will it still effect the contest?

[WarHeroe]

HEH I just stared to make map. And it is coming huge. :D

[Murmeltier]

Oh year i will start mapping now :)

[Instinct]

I got a Q: What if u cant do minimap will it still effect the contest?
No, but it would make a more polished look if you add one.

[filon102]

What is the date for the map to be complete?

[Instinct]

We have no date announced yet, we will do this in time!

[HrcAk47]

Now, this is something that i like :realbig:

But... you should also give more people a chance to participate. Just imagine, there could be artistic geniuses, who are able to make beautiful maps, but without scripting... on the other hand there are GEM Editor veterans with dull ideas.

May I recomend a scripting tutorial or two? It shouldn't be too much of a nag for you... after all, you made the game...
Or at least, recomend us some good ones, already made...

FOW for the people! :grandpa:

[HrcAk47]

****EDIT****just me... blabbering offtopic****EDIT****

My apologies.

[Instinct]

You don't need any scripting for multiplayer maps...

I don't understand what is wrong with the date?

[HrcAk47]

doh!!!! :brickwall:

i thought it was posting date

sorry... :brickwall:

[Mushroomcar]

Well i need help, i've started my map and paused the other one meanwhile. I don't know how to make it to "combat". How do i set out spawnplaces (where u start and spawn your vehicles)? I tried copying from annother mp map, but it didn't work when i pressed start. Hmm maybe it requires to be played in the game?

[Instinct]

Best is if you copy the whole mission file into your map folder and load it. To test it you need to launch it ingame.

[Mushroomcar]

Thx Instinct, i guess it worked, but don't know for sure. Because i can't test the map. The other forum facesofwar.eamped.com is down it seems like and so are the editor tutorials on that site. I can't find any tutorials which shows how to make the map into a mod so you can test it ingame :cry: . Please help me with this :cry: .

[Instinct]

Mod example (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/outcoming/downloads/mod_example.zip)
Just download it, put it in your fow/mods folder and activate it ingame.

[Mushroomcar]

Good example!

Now i can see and activate my mod in the game! Although when i go to lan or internet and start a game i can't see the map in combat :cry: .
This is same problem as my other map, i can't see the map anywhere in the game to select and play it. But the mod is activated.

EDIT: Yes i did place it in multi folder(do i need to rename it to an existing multiplayer map maybe?). I got the mod.info file too, named exactly like the map and placed an description in it too.

Btw; Thx for fast replies:).

[Instinct]

Have you placed it in map/multi ? And did you place the map.info file from another map there too?

[Viceman]

I got a Q: What if u cant do minimap will it still effect the contest?

If you cant do minimap, i can do it for you if you send your overlay screenshot of your map to me. PM me if you need help.

[HrcAk47]

Ok, i have a Q: Since i'm a complete dunce, can anyone tell me how to make some decent spawnpoints for a frontline mission? I saw an example in premade missions, but I dont know what is the purple arrow for? And I cant copy them, Gem editor crashes. So pleeeeease, can anyone tell me? I'd really appreciate it :realbig:

[Instinct]

Just take an official mission and load it with your map, than costumize the spawn points, those arrows are indicating the spawn direction and spawn point.

[HrcAk47]

Woah! Did it!

I took the map.info file from an another map, also frontline. I appear to have the same prob as Mushroomcar. Map doesn't shows up in the map list.
Any idea 'bout this one?

Edit* : Maybe you can paste us an example script for the .info file?

[Instinct]

You only need to copy an original one and edit it like you wish.

[Bob Marley]

How do you post a map?

[Instinct]

Upload it on a file hosting website.

[[lmsyhmic]]

I made one, but I'm having trouble with making the minimap.

[Instinct]

Here is a small tutorial how to make minimaps:
http://facesofwar.eamped.com/topic209.html

[Bob Marley]

how do you post the multi map, when you cant have access to the mod?

[Thaver2Theta]

hey Instinct, when is the end of the contest?

Momently I work on a map,don t know if I can finsih her to the end date.

[Mushroomcar]

I just finished my map!

It's called River Town and is a part of a town surrounded by farms and split by a river. The multiplayer modes are Battlezone and Combat. Battlzone includes five flags located on diffrent areas on the map. Both modes support up to eight players.

To install; read the Readme file.

[Instinct]

Possibly next month.



Nice work Mushroomcar! Going to try it out as soon as possible! :D

[Viceman]

Mushroomcar, that surely looks beautiful. You just set the bar very high :hurray:

[filon102]

can we post maps now? or what time do we HAVE to post it? like that date?

[Instinct]

You can post it already now, but don't post the download link somewhere else. Ofcourse you are allowed to promote your map, but link it to our forums here.

[Rafo]

Im gonna make a Wake Island 2007 map for competition! Though its different and better than my old one ;)
Just hope i have time...

[HrcAk47]

I'm just about done... lack of Internet is slowing me down severely... :cry:

My map is frontline 2v2, desert canyon-style, to prevent massing down on one player. It has: a small village, dug-in airbase (with planes!), rocket base (copyright ;) ) and a Foreign legion fort (ruined, though :)), and i'm trying to do a promo video. Of course, it is all up to you, the public, to decide. May the best man win :D

BTW, like what you did with your entry, Mushroomcar. You have set a high treshold :)

[filon102]

All most done with my map

Info: 4vs4 map, huge 500x500, city, thats all for now ;)

[Mushroomcar]

Thanks for all kind relpies all concearning my map!
Sounds nice with more entries! :D
Nice map info and good luck to all!

[filon102]

Mashroomcar: will it be ok if i could look in your map??? cause when i try to load my map in LAN game it loads but when it tries to check the connection ( like there is a check by your name if ur connected and ready to go) i got an error, idk y maybe the spawn points are wrong, so can i?

[Instinct]

You only would need to look into an official map, it has the same effect. I don't think mushroomcar will answer since he is away for a while.

[C0ntrol]

Gosh.. I'm afraid to post my map now.. It seems kinda poor next to Mushroomcars one.. :oops:

[Mushroomcar]

Well, you don't need to look into mine, but you only need to copy spawnpoints from an official map. I did it and it worked just fine. 8)

Btw: I'm going away on monday, i should have been more precise. :P

[filon102]

o ok thx :typing:

[filon102]

k i done spawn points, battlezones, combat, and i think its ready to go, however when a soldier goes to river, he dosint swim... :( how come and how can i fix it....i got the river....

[Instinct]

Only load the Map (F2) and set a water high, same high of your water objects. Afterwards let the game autfill the terrain in terrain mode.

[filon102]

Afterwards let the game autfill the terrain in terrain mode

What u mean by that?

[Instinct]

There is a button called auto fill. Press it.

[filon102]

thank u :realbig:

[ngvede]

Well, here is my contest entry map - "Seek & Destroy".

P.S. Its a large map, so it will take some time to load. :D

[Instinct]

Ngvede, really nice screenshots, looks pretty huge this map.

Filon, I'm going to try it out, looks promising.

[ngvede]

Oh, yeah... it's quite big :wilting: :hurray:

That's why I called it "SEEK and destroy" :realbig:

[filon102]

looks promising

Yes it is my friend ;)

[Murmeltier]

are i´m allowsd to add a own weather ?

@ngvede we are starting a new mod contact schneider :)

[Instinct]

Yes, weather will be ok.

[TTorpedo]

Cheking the competicion.
Now i´m desmoralised :(

Nice maps guys! great work

[Albus]

come on TTorpedo dont desmoralised.... finish your map plz . ;)

[Murmeltier]

Hom many maps can be done by one member?

[Thaver2Theta]

omg, my map is 99,98 % finshied, only minimap is too hard to make :( . But I will make a right minimap

[Instinct]

There is no limit for making maps, atleast if the maps before look complete.

[ngvede]

Good luck with your maps everybody.

About those minimaps. There is a nice little tutorial about those somewhere on these forums. If someone doesn't know the process I recommend finding that tutorial. If you know the process and what tools are needed and still your minimap somehow doesn't work or doesn't look good in-game then you probably haven't fixed those limit lines around your map. I remember having a lot of trouble making a minimap for someone's map and when I fixed those lines everything was fine.

Make sure that purple line goes exactly on the edge of your map. Drag the yellow line (green line will follow it) so the green line is just a little bit further in your map than the purple one. Keep the blue line close to the yellow one. That's how I do it and it works fine.

If these hints are not helpful and you can't find your way about making a minimap, I'll be more than happy to help out (it's quite easy and it takes me about 15 minutes to do it).

Cheers.

[Rafo]

Making a minimap is pretty easy, just use paint if you dont have PS.
Take a pic (must be vertical or nearly vertical) make sure when u take pic that the blue arrow thing in the location of where minimap is supposed to be faces to the top. then get pic and edit in paint. now cut away the unneeded bits like the edges and sort so only the actual map is shown. resize it to a power of 2 so u can convert it to .DDS format required by the game like 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512 and maybe 1024x1024 but not sure if u can with 1024x1024...
then do the necessary things and stuff and convert to .dds then take the file and rename to minimap.dds the same goes to the others like the background and preview.
put it in the map file and thats it. :shady:

[-=FFI=-11.Pz.Div.]

Hy All

Fall of Reich, Author: -=FFI=- 11.Pz.Div.
--------------

Situation:

The allies enter to Germany at the the beginning of 1945 and
captures quickly few cities around the Ruhr to encircle the
German army.

Catch of a German garnison in rout in a village close to Oberhausen.

Map of day and night.

This Map is a confrontation downtown, some explanations:

- Difficulty in destroying the buildings (the tanks slow down extremely)

- Very large map has to use if possible with a MOD (best is real war)

- Map very detailed

-it is preferable to have a powerful PC for hosting…

[Instinct]

Really nice work, one huge map after another, forces me to make a medium size one :P

[ngvede]

Interesting, Fall of Reich was released in February. I've been using it with Jason's DCG for months now :realbig:
Really nice map I must say.

[Thaver2Theta]

Yeahahaha, have made my MiniMap to work right.

Here the solution, for those how don`t no how it works:

You need:
-Editor^^
-Photfiltre (paint programm, very good)
-Adobe Photoshop + DDS Plugin ( alternative a dds. - converter)

1. Start Editor
2. be sure the lines are parallel!
3. press : alt+D
4. you have to zoom the map, so you can see the "green line"
5.make screen-shhot (saved under: c:/dokuments/user/eigene dateien/my games/faces of war/screenshoots )
6.Press F1 to hide the Lines (however you see the lines still, you have to go to "C:\Documente and....\USER\Eigene Dateien\My Games\faces of war\profiles\Player-Name" and you have to delete the file editor_desktop.set in this folder
7.make screenshoot
8.start photfiltre
9.open first screen with lines and cut the part inside the green lines and make a new picture from these "cuted" part
10.open the second screen
11. copy the second screenshoot and past it into ne "new picture"
12. now right klick onto options and scroll the transparency down to 50%
13. after that, move the 50% over the screen 1:1
14. you have to klick again onto options and make the transparency up to 100%
15. now right klick and affirm
16. save the picture as bigmnimap.mbp
17. right klick on the picture and resize it to unter 1024 x 800 ( one of these numbers have to be divided in 4)
18. save it as littleminimap.bmp

19. NOW, you can SAVE the PIC with Photoshop + DDS plugin as minimap.dds
or with a dds. converter
BE sure , you convert "ALL MIPMAPS" !

Very Sorry for my Bad English!

I would appreciate any comments.

Have fun.

Very nice and interesting design! :)

This contest is getting hotter and hotter each day :D

[Rafo]

How do you make them waterfalls?

In Reply To ngvede

I want!! I want!! I sure hope you're making a mod with those beautiful maps! http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s108/MadCatOmni/clap4.gif

[ngvede]

Thank you for your comments guys.

bf2player2006 you can find waterfalls under fx-common-waterfalls (i think). They should be at the bottom of the list.

MadCat I just made these as MP maps. If you want SP missions I'll have to disappoint you :? I have no idea how to code :wilting:

I made a few maps a couple of months ago and at the time I had no idea how to make MP maps let alone SP missions. No improvement there I have to admit :P

I'm just learning how to do any of this so maps are probably going to be where I start and finish. If it gets too complicated I have a hard time assimilating a bunch of tech speak :P . Your maps look very nice though and I doubt I can replicate anything that looks even a tenth as good.

No, no, no... mapping is easy and most of all fun. Just give yourself some time. Do some sketches on paper first. Experiment. Go through GEM entity library and place some interesting looking stuff on your map (that can give you some ideas). Spend some time on a map. Fix things, if you get stuck -ask for help. Pay attention to details... and have fun (the most important thing :realbig: ).

Ok guys, end of contest is announced at the first page. Look at it and make sure you are going to be finished in time! Thanks for your participation! :)

Hi all!

MP Map Highway-Frontline

Huge map for Frontline-mode. Most playable in realism-mods with the increased distance of the battle, or in the original game to long time playing.

Nice work! Looking forward to this map :)

[Rafo]

The day has come!
I finished my Wake Island 2007 2.0 MAP! This one is for contest by the way. Instinct, do I get disqualified if I release this map on my map pack?

Well anyhow, get it here.
[attachment=0:4f4b1]wake_island_2007_2_0.7z[/attachment:4f4b1]

EDIT::
It has Combat and Battlezones mode, but it's recommended to play Combat since Battlezones has a bug which I haven't been able to fix. But it is still playable only terribly imbalanced. I will get a revised version probably tomorrow.

[Instinct]

No, since you released it here first.

[Rafo]

Thanks so much!
And fast reply! :)

[Rafo]

I'm going to have to do a redux to the Wake Island map cause of a bug that happened in editor. :(
I will try to get updated version soon.

[Rafo]

As of hearing we can post how many maps we like well...
Here are 2 more,

P.S. The minimap looks little bit bad, still u can tell that it is a minimap :D

[Rafo]

Is it possible to do this? To modify a games map? Or does it have to be completely new?

You can post an attachment here filon...

[Mad Cat]

I would think a modified map would be a new map but then again I'm not in charge of the contest.

[Instinct]

Well, we did not wrote down any rules for this, so if the map is mostly changed we will accept it, ofcourse it will lower the chances to win by jury and by community. So I think it will regulate itself.

[filon102]

hmmm......if u still dont like it, i can modify it more, but tell me soon, so i can have more time...

[Instinct]

The more you do, the more it will be seen as your work and rated this way.

[Murmeltier]

After a few hours of testing i found the "terminate bug" on my map and i m abel to presentate it now :)

It will be 2 maps, for both can be voted, there is no limit of maps you can deliver.

Edit: I see, its smaller and larger variant of the map, yes we can make it as 1 map for the votings.

Btw, a tip for everyone. We installed language packs for all languages we support in the forums (US-English, German, French, Spanish, Russian).
You just need to go to your User Control Panel --> Board Preferences and set it, and you will have it much easier.

Hm i think a very big problem is that nobody plays our maps, most of them who now something about this contest had mad a map for it , i never was abel to play one of these maps with somebody without accord up to now :(

[Instinct]

At the end we will gather all maps into one mod and offer for download and testing, while the voting takes place.

[C0ntrol]

I guess I'll give my map a try.. Just need to fix a thing here another there.. :)

To install just unzip the zipfile to your mod folder, activate the mod from the Options or by using Bratherings ModChanger and start playing :)

Lytle
A small town nearby Germany-Russia border. When the Germans started the Operation Barbarossa the citizens of Lytle quickly fortified their beloved town. For the luck of the villagers, the attacks of the Barbarossa passed the town. Few years later when the Soviets started pushing the Germans back to Vaterland, the Germans took their positions nearby the railway station in order to keep the town of Lytle under Third Reichs control.

very nice maps :realbig: damn gunna be fun playing them all :woah:

Ps. about filons map..

Rule 3
If you released a multiplayer mission before, it will not be accepted for the contest. Provide us a complete new done map!
What ever happen'd to that rule being inforced? because its already "been released befor" by bestway.. its not a "complete new done map".. :brickwall: and when i played BZ of it the flags didnt seem to be there.. :baseball:

[filon102]

If you released a multiplayer mission before, it will not be accepted for the contest. Provide us a complete new done map!


If you released a multiplayer mission before...

If u released the mission before the time that u can, then it wont be accepted. (I think that what it means :oops: )

I check it out, thx for the bug :!:

http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/8170/cop2azy2.gif Edited by Mad Cat :baseball:

[Jozor]

thats not what it means.. it says nothing about time there..

yeah i checked the file to see if the flags were there and they were, but not showing in game, so wasent gunna go fully for that..

it is a good map none the less, but better if you did it from scratch instead of editing one :rtfm:

also i just check'd and i find it funny there is no metion that "you cant edit some one els's map and enter it"... :shady: crazy... well atleast none have done such..

filon102 will not be able to get first prize, I already stated that we take into account that he edited a map instead of doing it from scratch, since only Rule3 describes this closer it can be misunderstood, therefore his map can take part in the community votings and you can decide on your own if you vote for him or not.

[filon102]

still i got leningrad 1941, that can be first place ^^ :hurray:

[Mushroomcar]

Hmm i just got a thought.

If you make 3 maps, can you win 1, 2, 3 prize if they are all voted good?
Or do you only win 1 prize?

Otherwise it is unfair if you can win multiple prizes i think. 8O

[Instinct]

Why is it unfair?

[wawaee]

I think it is also unfair but it depends on the votes so JUST PRAY a person doesn't get two prize o_O

[Mushroomcar]

Well some who have worked very hard with their maps gets beaten by one person who won with three maps. Well it isn't unfair cause it is in the rules, but it is maybe not appreciated by all if one person would take home all prizes. It would be sort of disappointing if that would happen, but i guess i just worry to much.

8O Gosh. There must be lots of stuff in that map..

[Thaver2Theta]

sorry

[Instinct]

I don't understand? What did you upload there? All maps or all screenshots of the maps?

You don't need to upload a map pack since I will prepare a mod when the contest is over and the votings start.

[Thaver2Theta]

very sorry, wanted to keep an easy overview for the contest. :o

[ngvede]

Just a little comment (and an advice) on "southland" map.

Looks nice that's for sure, but it shouldn't be 16MB. :wilting: I've checked it out in editor. "Polygon" tool was used way too much (level 5 polygons). Adding extra details for fine curves is justified around river (level 2 and even 3 polygons) and maybe few other places but that tool was used everywhere for no apparent reason. I think that was the main reason for size of the map in the end.

Other thing is, those purple (map limit) lines are completely out of place. When you take a look at the map in "terrains" view you'll see that editor fills everything up to that purple line as "ground terrain". If this "invisible" ground uses up MBs then that's another reason why this map ended up being 16MBs. :grandpa:

Cheers.

Is it still too late to place an entry? I had no access to Internet until now... :?

[Instinct]

Upload it and I will add it.

[HrcAk47]

Ok, here it goes. But, I must warn you, I had a problem with adding spawnpoints etc. It shows up in map list, but it fails to open, during loading. So, it is basically, just an eye-catching map. It is free for anyone to try to make something out of it, just contact me first. I am a failure of a modder :cry: . And I was "away from keyboard" for nearly a month... So, Instinct, you take a look of my map and decide whether it is worthy of entering the competition or not.

I'll try to make it a SP version, I think I got a hand of doing SP triggers :)

Thank you for your attention,

HrcAk47

[C0ntrol]

Sounds even better!! We need good SP mission makers because there ain't many of them around. :pacman:

[Instinct]

Well if it crashes during loading we can't put it into competition :(

But I will have a look at it.

[Zeke Wolff]

OK, I´ll hide my shame and post a stupid question again... :) I´ve been talked into joining the contest at this late stage and have now made two maps (combat and battle_zone) but first, is it neccessary for the maps to have minimaps and previews? I dont know how to do them but the same person who talked me into joining, said that he can do them and so, is it OK to add them as my own even if I hadn´t made everything myself?

Second, where do I upload the maps? I havent ever (believe it or not) uploaded anything to the net before... Yep, and I´ve been playing around with computers since 1987... (says something about my age too I guess... :realbig: )

~Zeke.

[Instinct]

Minimap should be done, it is ok if you got help with the mission files.

You can attach a file in the forums or use filehosting services.

[Zeke Wolff]

Okey, here I go... I have never done any multiplayer maps before so I do hope it will work (they do load into the editor etc so that should be OK).

Thanks goes to Ngvede for explaining how to do mission files and helping me out with the minimaps etc. THANKS!

Here is a few screenshots of my first entry called Boot Hill (lousy name, I know but I hadn´t got much time to come up with a better name! :) ).

Sorry, forgot to mention: Both maps are made for battlezone and combat zones. No frontline.

Ok, I looked at it and fixed it, you did not set clipzones for your map.
I didn't test it for playability etc., it only runs and you are able to take part in the competition, but I would be pleased if you could test it and balance it. Aswell as making preview pictures and stuff.

I'll upload new mappack at 00:00 gmt+1, no entries will be allowed at this time.

[Instinct]

Oh, and please everyone who already voted, vote again...
I did not know that it will reset the vote count when editing it. Sorry...

[Viceman]

Just thinking. Isnt it bit unfair for people who post their maps after the voting is already going? Or will the voting restart when actually all the maps have been submitted? :roll:

edit:
oh, voting has been reseted ;)

[Instinct]

Well we had a time until voting starts and gave the chance to submit it until the day is over. Well while editing I noticed that the forums reset the votings, so... it is restarted anyway.
Won't edit anymore, sorry for that.

[Instinct]

Ok guy, map pack is updated, please download it again!
Mod info: v1.1

[TTorpedo]

Lots of good parts, In the maps dificult to pick one.
Theres bits you like bits you don´t. I choosed my vote based on the overall expected playability of the map.
I would prefer to vote for at list 5 maps om this first phase., but 2 votes his better than 1


I couldn´t finish my map for the contest, real life catsh up on me, and i´m to slow :). (Did i mention i would prefer a slower pace game! probably a dozen times by now )
Neverthelesse like this sequel, I wil release it when it´s done
