Thanks for spotting! Will check the similar maps, indeed. The map has been retracted.

And the entryphase was 3 months long! This edition we 'only' have 2 months...
Imo we're reaching the max amount of maps. Afterwards Ill put up an evaluation thread where we can discuss how to do it next time. Perhaps there are other set ups that limit time and effort AND achieve good quality maps.

Entry #59: A Gentlemen's Duel: http://resource.openra.net/maps/19635/
Entry #23: Six Below Zero: http://resource.openra.net/maps/19508/
These maps has some interesting errors - the ridge edges are systematically distorted throughout the maps. It's so weird I can't imagine the author have made this mistake by negligence.
example:
Wouldn't judge the maps negatively on it but it should be fixed regardless. Looks like quite a bit of time has been spent on these maps already.

I was working on another SP mission map but couldn't finish in time unfortunately. As it became clear that i won't finish it, i moved the map to bleed as i was having some issues that are fixed for new version. I'll finish and release it anyway. I think it'll be a cool map, it still needs lots of work.

I think sometimes, that kind of error is intentional (referring more to the one on the right). It's not my map but, when I make maps, I tend to corner corners by doing that ONLY if there is an uneven number of tiles (using 2x2 cliff tiles and somehow ending up with a 1x2 at the end) on a large land formation that's enclosed. I would do that by trying to copy tiles that would blend in the most in the 1x2 area.SoScared wrote: ↑Entry #59: A Gentlemen's Duel: http://resource.openra.net/maps/19635/

The trick it to find a tile that blends in the most (if you want a formation to be a very specific shape). It's easier on the Temperate tile set.
As for that spot on the left, no clue what happened there. Unless the person forgot to check all the tiles before submitting.

I disagree with the smurfname. If we're to discuss the quality of the map, I want to know who I am talking to.noobmapmaker wrote: ↑ Next up: the phreezephase!

Yeah, that was not really clear on my side. People need not to discuss with a smurfname. But if a mapcreater plays his own map then one could use a smurf. Play the game(s) with a smurfname, upload under your own name, preferably upload a couple more contestmapreplays - all this to keep it somewhat vague who made which map.
Not a huge disaster if a couple people can derive who made a map, but let's try to keep it as anonymous as possible.
