Save Both the .TGA and .TED files to this folder.  Maps will appear in your Multiplayer map selections menu in game.


Enjoy!

Hey guys, I fixed PG's Peruvian Hills so it's now playable on Multiplayer for the weekend. You need to download my fix. Ironically they missed a T in the word Tex(t)_MP

uh keep dreaming? Tools may or may not come out soon. I think this was more Evania's way of being awesome. Ya, I'd say, she's awesome

I'm in the midst of breakfast at the moment. Can't eat and play, unable to use hotkeys...


edit: nvm

UAW > food

Wait for me.


edit: whoops seems too late, ah well. I'll go view the new maps in the meantime. I'm going to try Display Name Problem (aka Peruvian hills) first, may post pics. Does anyone know if this game has a screencap button?

Well, just done trying out southern lowlands. Has a cool volcano on it and clouds which Kel spotted.

This map is improperly formated. I believe it has to do with naming convention and missing like a M13 or something in front. Anyways it won't show the any player but the host in multiplayer selection points.

I'll have to fix Peruvian Hills monday.  I must have misspelled it somewhere in the rename.  Do the rest show up ok?

Yes, they do and they are pretty fun except there are so many cows...*shrudders*

[Shadowdarkrous]

They are fine.
Next map pack wish be  the world map, eg Sydney, Beijing, Tokoyo, London, New York, etc

While there is an overabundance of cows , there is also a disturbing lack of other instas for H...
I'd appreciate some light posts here and there so that H can play well too.
Atm, they just have to try to grab all the cows asap and hope their rush can cripple the opponent bad enough.

[Valdez]

You know, its funny, my first experience with the new maps involved getting repeatedly pwnt by kelathin and purified over 4 hours of stuff. Damn my vulnerability to early-game assaults



Oh and Alex was there too but he's not that important since half the time I was allied with an AI instead of him so I'll leave him out of the juicy details.






Here is Kelabel (pink) and Puribel (blue) attacking my remaining walker with Purified's forces. I should add that the hill you see behind it, well the walker climbed up, and got stuck there. Kept furiously issuing move orders until it budged.

There is a nice decent thought, perhaps all future CMS will make maps for older games for Thursday Throwdowns! Though, I do hope Petroglyph does continue to invest in making maps for UaW. Even if it's only once a month, it shows the community they care. Easy publicity and Community Relationships imo.

Eh I use it to setup my economy so I can continually attack....

Yeah these new maps by Evania are pretty good aside from little issues here and there like the abnormal bovine population. I really like the lighting used for these maps, makes the units look better (Novus is silver-grey, not white) than what we see on the official maps.

And the volcano is really good. I had printscreened one of my Inquisitors at the top of the volcano breathing in all the fresh air, but I forgot to paste it somewhere and it got overridden when I printscreened the Kelabel and Puribel pic seen above (this is why UAW needs screenshot hotkey!)


That's it for now, off to lunch, gotta brainstorm Chapter 22 for my sig, which I plan to start work on in a few hours time

I only did the lowlands.

Well at least Purified now knows who loves cows a little too much (smirks at Scud)

Did you guys try different lighting settings for these maps (hence the different look of the shaders on the textures, most noticably the silvery Novus stuff)? You should apply this in future. It's nice seeing my walkers no longer bright red
