New Multiplayer maps

[crimson]

hi, iv been around for a week or so now and interested in map making. While there is the random map generator having a few preset maps with marcos would be very good. So iv started to create a few funmaps so far-

Mountain Pass:
Single mountain dividing 2 Keeps with 4 castles on each with a single path through the middle (tried it with a freind and found it very interesting especially when u tried to rush me with assassins down the middle path)

King of the Hill:
Very large hill placed in the middle of the map with players 1 & 2 being able to team up together at the top (or kill each other) and 3 & 4 the same but bottom. As its called king of the hill a single path leads to the middle of the map from each keep and a statue with monoliths as the middle point, along with a keep and 2 castles, who ever has control of the keep (still deciding if it should be a runner or the main heros (the guys who stand on the keep to recruit ppl)). Anyway if u have control of the keep u will get 10 extra gold (maybe changed) per turn.

Now to install this i will create a linux script to do it but for windows it will get crazy because i dont feel like making a program for it. (if u have a idea on how to do this, post a msg, just remember it has to append a line or 2 to a file, not just install files to certain places).

I have also found my 3rd bug during this and ill go post it now at the bugs place

Oh and if any one knows (like developers), what would i need to do, to get maps into the future packages?

ill post the maps when i finalize the linux script and complete 'king of the hill'

Iv created the first fun mappack
which holds the two maps as mentioned in the message before this:-
- King of the hill
- Mountain Pass
this also holds a linux script to install the 2 files (its my first bash script)
> King of the hill does not have the macro so when u hold the keep in the middle u get 10 gold per turn yet but its fine to play without it. The macro will be in the next mappack release.

Hi there,

Thanks for the maps

We will review them and consider adding them to the official release.

Your "king of the hill" idea sounds interesting, but unfortunately our language doesn't have an easy way to support it.

Fortunately, when something isn't easily supported, I can add support for it I have added a "side turn" event which sets 'side_number' to be equal to the side whose turn it is. You can use this event to award the gold. If you want the 'hill' to be at (10,10), you could do it like this:

Code: Select all

[event]
name="side turn"
first_time_only=no
     [if]
           [have_unit]
           side=$side_number
           x=10
           y=10
           [/have_unit]
           [then]
                [gold]
                amount=10
                side=$side_number
                [/gold]
           [/then]
     [/if]
[/event]

Simple, no?
