Plasma's Dev Diary

[Plasma]

I'm not going to even bother with the Hey I'm blah blah, you all came here to see new things and that's what I'm going to show.

First up is my main project for the next patch it is called MB2 Star Destroyer and it is a full MB2 map, here are some screens:

Also here is a picture of what the layout is like, kind of a blend of Lunarbase with larger corridors, only one floor and with a connecting side corridor and a different objective :p

The FPS on this map is very good, thanks goes to Mace for hinting it for me so it isn't going to end up like TradeFed which I know you all hate <3.

Speaking of TradeFed ...
http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=11420725bw4.jpg
That's an in-editor shot of how it is currently looking, I am going to remake it all (Hooray ._.) to do the map justice. Please note that is a WIP and quite a lot will change from now till the release, definitely that door texture I think after writing this I'll go and change that.

Now for a duel map, this first one is called MB2 duel Tusken and depicts the events on the 2nd Episode when Hayden Christensen shows off his awesome angry 'acting' skills. The map was actually done for the last patch but due to some NPC problems it was never released. Enough talk more screens:

http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1206xb4.jpg (http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1205lh7.jpg)
http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1207cu0.jpg

As you can see it also includes Banthas and Dewbacks (Both are rideable), we assume that it was those that were causing the crashes before although it could have been the jawas ...

Next duel map is MB2 duel Dantooine this one is a step away from the movie and is set during KOTOR 2 when the Exile confronts Master Vrook, it's a simple 1 v 1 glowstick battle. I was going to do a full on Dantooine map where the Mercenaries fight of the Khoonda militia but I doubt the FPS would hold as the outside area is quite big. Anyway screens:

http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1212oh3.jpg (http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1211oz1.jpg)
http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=70771gx3.jpg

Now this next map I doubt will get released with the patch and may be released with the CMP instead because some people don't like the idea of this new map type. It is a battlefield map where two sides fight in a large area using vehicles to complete their objectives, I swear I came up with the idea on my own and didn't rip off Battlefront II at all, kidding actually the CMP gave me the idea for this map in the first place :p . The setting for this map is Geonosis and here are some pictures:

[URL]http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1195qn1.jpg (http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1194kz9.jpg)

As you can see both sides have their own sets of vehicles, the smaller ones respawn but the bigger ones don't, note the republic pretty much need the big walker thing (The name escapes me at the moment thing it might be AT-TE, they're all called AT-SOMETHING) in order to complete their objective so make sure you look after it.

Well that's it for my Star Wars maps anyway, now onto the fun stuff.

[Plasma]

Some of you may know that for some time I have been developing a movie game map pack (Labelled MGM) that as you may have guessed from the name contains maps from various movies and games. I'm hoping that the first release will come shortly after the patch, just a few things need to be done now but most of them have been finished for sometime and are just waiting for the features of the new patch.

This first map is based off of the movies Aliens, it is a survival map for the marines they have to hold out for 5 minutes against the Aliens using any means necessary. The alien drones (Default class) have about 9 lives so they just keep on coming meaning that the marines have to work together (Something rarely seen in MB2) in order to survive as they all only have one life. It's a fun map to play and is quite like a zombie map where you're just trying to survive against the onslaught of undead except -undead and +aliens. Enough jabbering on here are some screens:

http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1190wy9.jpg

Frost did the lighting up a bit on the map and edited some of it to make it look nicer so thanks to Frost for that D;

The next map is for those people who are kind of annoyed that they have to wait until Summer before they get to play Super Smash Bros Brawl, atleast us Europeans have to wait that long anyway (</3 Nintendo). It's a map of the pokemon stadium stage in SSB, unlike SSB though it is 4v4 so more players get in on the action. Here's some screenies of it:

http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1180wk3.jpg (http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1179zg1.jpg)

This one is just a small duel map, its based on where Spiderman fights Venom in the third Spiderman film, nothing special but should be pretty fun to play:
http://img86.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1160bz6.jpg

Now the following maps are all from the game Metal Gear Solid (The best game series evar, says me and Shad) they include the Arsenal Gear level where Snake and Raiden team up against the Tengus, Arsenal Gear where Snake fights Fortune, Snake versus Ocelot and Snake versus Ninja. Here are some screens, fans of the series will know which are which:

http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1162zn4.jpg (http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1161op8.jpg)
http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1163ti6.jpg

http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1168rv1.jpg
http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1169mm6.jpg

I've showed of this next map a few times but here it is again, this is the lobby fight in Matrix where Neo and Trinity take on a ton of guards. Note that I've replaced the floor shader with a normal environment map so the FPS is better now for those with lower spec computers however I have included the shader that mirrors the floor for people whose FPS is fine with it. Here are some screenshots:
http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1171uc6.jpg
http://img478.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1172lm4.jpg

http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1174cx8.jpg
http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1175iz9.jpg

Now this next map might not make the map pack because I haven't got the FA done for it (If anybody wants to do it contact me and I'll let you have a go) it is LOTR Helms Deep. Quite a big map but the FPS has been fine so far, I've kept details to a minimum at the moment so it should stay that way. Here are some screens:

http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1177bs6.jpg (http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1176vr0.jpg)
http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1178hd6.jpg

Now the last movie map is based off a movie that I know quite a few people have seen, 300 <INSERT THIS IS SPARTA AND OTHER RANDOM QUOTES HERE>. Here are some screens of it:

http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1193bk0.jpg (http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot1192iz6.jpg)

The FA has Leonidas, spear Spartans, sword Spartans, Persians, Persian archers, Uber Immortals and Immortals so quite a few things to pick from.

Well that's it for the movie map pack, there are a couple more maps done but if you want to see what they look like go check out Szico's Midgar V3, he recently gave me permission to use that map in this pack, it is split up though.

I'll leave you with a couple more maps these ones will be out in the next CMP release.

The first one is a contest map I did awhile ago in a day, it is an updated version of Fuel Depot (Based on the Gears of War map). The bit that's updated is the visuals of the map, instead of a metal gate around the whole place it has a nice rock wall. Screens here:

http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0024qt2.jpg
http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0025zk3.jpg

The other map I've done for the CMP is a total remake of my first MB2 map Ascension, it is a cel shaded map with clone wars models. Unlike the original both teams now have a 3 story tower with a walkway and sewers connecting them in the middle. It is loosely based on the Team Fortress 2 map ctf_2forts and it also includes all classes from TF2 in the FA together with taunts and voicechats from the TF2 cast. Here are some screens of it:

http://img468.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0021sm2.jpg

Well that's it from me, I have been working on something else with Norman and another thing with Mace but it is up to them if they want to divulge what exactly that is.

I'll sign off now, so I'll close with D-Generation rules join our server it is made of win with its good Euro ping and map rotation and of course the cake is a lie.

[Wildebeest]

Sorry about the hitch with Plasma's Dev Diary, folks. We've got a better system for putting these things together internally, now (thanks Cerb :)), and things should go more smoothly from here out.

[Lervish]

Plasma is made of win and D; <3

[The Swashbuckler]

"That's a lot of nuts!"

Minus nuts, plus maps.

[Fisk]

Omg, Pokemon Stadium ftw! I wonder what the FA is gonna be like :eek:.

[ShadeyMan]

Now the following maps are all from the game Metal Gear Solid (The best game series evar, says me and Shad) they include the Arsenal Gear level where Snake and Raiden team up against the Tengus, Arsenal Gear where Snake fights Fortune, Snake versus Ocelot and Snake versus Ninja.

Indeed we do, as it is.

Also, being lead beta for two MGS maps, let me just say that Arsenal is the most fun an MGS fan could have, even a non-MGS fan; the map is pure win.

[Mando Fett]

cant wait for the 300 map, and the aliens map, infact i will love them all in my own little way :D.

Fantastic job Plasma.

[Bruce Campbell]

Her Hyper Beam finisher is weaksauce from what I've seen, though. And Crystal Flash shouldn't cause minor damage to those around her, it should heal her.

[Assassin]

Ascension is my most anticipated personally, I've always enjoyed maps with interesting layouts, and the cel-shading is just cool.

[Frog]

my god plazma you really ARE a lazy sod arent ya ^^

I prefer that other guy that who goes "NJÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄRGH"

[WorldsLargestIpod]

Why did it HAVE to be pokemon station? why not the octagon?

[Plasma]

Why did it HAVE to be pokemon station? why not the octagon?

The stadium map in SSB has always been my favourite.

EDIT: Thanks Someone for clearing up the off topic stuff.

[Pilo T]

I must say Plasma; your Star Destroyer looks MUCH more like a Star Destroyer than that Jedi Outcast MP Star Destroyer bull****. Layout looks a bit small, but I'm sure testing has shown that it still plays well, and what's there looks right; can't wait to try that one out.

Also, I know I really have been against maps that aren't Star Wars (except you're making so many maps that my reasons don't really apply to you, as they were simply that non Star Wars maps take away from the number of Star Wars maps, which just simply doesn't seem to be true of you), but I must say the Aliens and SSB maps look like they could be a lot of fun in FA. :eek:

Keep up the good work, but I recommend maybe taking a couple hours off from mapping just to make sure you're remembering to breathe.

[Yzmo]

Pilo, when he first made the map.. it was HUGE.. really GIGANTIC.. so i think the size it has now is fine..

[ixin]

You've been busy m8. :eek:

[SeVv]

MEWTWO IS Overpowered!
I demand Darkrai!

No.

What if kirby sucked up the pokemon trainer



:eek:

[MandaloreBIC]

No.

What if kirby sucked up the pokemon trainer



:eek:
trainer hat pops up, and kirby gets pokemon balls to stun pokemon with while he eats them


GJ plasma, i will never tease you about mapping again (at least til tomorrow)

[ShadowThesis]

Gotta put Roy in for the pokemon stadium ;)

Good looking for Plasma, keep it up :D

[Plasma]

I would his a cool character but I can only add characters that have models already done for them.

[ShadeyMan]

Plus we've already implemented our own SSB character into it, D; 'by, a giant bouncing D; that devours everything in its path.

Wow, my new favorite dev that has been working mostly on non-MB2 maps. Lol.

Can't wait for the MGS, 300, and Alien maps they look so wicked.

No, I want pokemon stadium. All day. Lol.

Will the levels change like, from like fire to water etc?

[Plasma]

No they won't.

[maloneyking]

Does Kanto Stadium map your making have the music from SSBM

[SeVv]

No they won't.
You could make it switch when you hack some kind of Icon ;)

[maloneyking]

You could make it switch when you hack some kind of Icon ;)

Yea Do That!_! I cant wait for this map pack! when is it out? You got any ideas

[Plasma]

You could make it switch when you hack some kind of Icon ;)

Yes you can but people would get stuck inside of it when the func useable/wall appears.

As for music, I'm using the one that plays in SSBM when you're on the stadium map.

As for it coming out, Rick's doing the FA for LOTR Helms Deep if he does that before the next patch comes out it can be released straight after the patch comes out. If not then as soon as his done, I'm in no hurry to release yet though.

[Pilo T]

make someone be the big fire eye thing and give it deadly sight. :surprise:

[maloneyking]

Nice... Look forward to it!

Any ideas on when next patch is out?

Rofl, I'll help you :o

Couldn't you make it rise like a ramp, so that the people fall off?

[Plasma]

Would look weird rising from the bottom of the map, I'm keeping it the way it is.

[SeVv]

Gives it a better feel >.>

[Frost]

Actually if i remember right, the floor would open up and a platform of rocks would go up in the place of the floor. Its easy to do plas, you just cant be arsed :p

[Plasma]

The platform isn't that big you wouldn't be able to hide tall rock buildings in side it and then move them up.

[Reaper]

make someone be the big fire eye thing and give it deadly sight.

1) That would be freakin' hilarious.
2) Sauron was "the big fire eye thing"'s name.
3) Sauron was not actually a "big fire eye thing" >_>

[Gnome]

As for music, I'm using the one that plays in SSBM when you're on the stadium map.

No, don't! Use the alternate version! L+R! L+R!

[UnsungHero]

The platform isn't that big you wouldn't be able to hide tall rock buildings in side it and then move them up.
Couldnt you just put it all under the stadium then? And Im not sure if this would work, not an expert mapper, but couldnt you put a box of caulk around it so you dont see it if you fall off the edge and look under the stadium?

[Pilo T]

putting a box of caulk around it will make it so that you DO see it.

I think it would be awesome if you had the changing arenas. You could cram them all in the staium itself (the solid part that no one sees), and have each one rise up like it does in the game.

[Azuvector]

The horror, the horror. Pokemon fans combined with MBII fans. :(

[Gnome]

Actually, it just takes a bit of scripting, I believe.
Now, I know very very little about scripting, but is it possible to have a few
ref_tags and place the rocks outside the whole battlefield, and then use the
move command in BehavEd with a float period of 0001.00 or 0000.01?
Would that work? I'm not sure what func the brushes should be, however.

[Assassin]

Couldn't you just have a trigger_push that throws players into the air while the stage changes forms?

[Plasma]

I just don't think it'd be that great for playing on like that as well, besides most rounds will be over fairly quickly.

[SeVv]

Oh god I can see the FA

Lol

Dune sea is a duel map so it's just Qui-Gon vs Maul.

Or do you mean tusken, basically that's just Ani versus a bunch of Tuskens.

[SeVv]

[alenoguerol]

matrix pwns!

and well.. the helm's deep one looks nice i guess. but try to take as a model the Darth Hunter's Helms Deep for JK2. i talked with him some months ago but he said that map couldnt be converted to JKA. and he have no time to re-make it for JKA cuz he's busy with A New Era but anyway.. that helm's deep is almost perfect.

[WorldsLargestIpod]

Funny thing about pokemon is...

Kids pretend to live in a universe where the primary activity in life is capturing native flora and fauna of the world and training them to fight each other and parents think it's cute

People try to do the same thing with dogs in the real world and they're the scum of the earth.

[77EagleEye77]

Much love for you plasma, can't wait till these releases, mainly the matrix lobby, ascension, and dantooine. probably pokemon stadium too :D lindsey's still #1 for the larger maps though :P

[iVel]

I must know this: what model/skin do you use for the aliens?? I think that the howler's model and rund/walk/jump animations are perfect for an alien..but you need to make him attack somehow..it already has a claw attack animation.(I tested it in SP by spawning a howler and using MT4 on him XD)

[Plasma]

We can't really add custom animations to models at the moment and making it a vehicle would mean re-doing the model.

[Plasma]

Bump.

[Yippie-kai-ay!!]

Ohhh, finally a mustafar!

[Yzmo]

The only thing that looks wierd is the rather bright skybox

[MaceCrusherMadunusus]

Hes making a new one ^^

[Riles Lek]

Very nice Mustafar there, reminds me of Battlefront 2 a bit, but that was great too.


Keep up the good work!

[ShadeyMan]

Hopefully better than Fang's attempt, memories of flying Reelo heads...

[Yoshimitsu]

Mustafar looks very good, add mustafar sky and will be great .

[Fats]

Rofl shadow the flying reelo machine was win

but yesh mustafar D;

[F-200 Efreet]

since that mustafar map looks ALOT like the bf2 one... will the fa be Gizor delzo feat. droid army + prototype droids vs the 501st with the objective to destroy the plans and place a bomb beacon?

[Fang]

No more clone FAs please :rolleyes:

[AlphaFA]

No more clone FAs please :rolleyes:

Whatchoo mean?! Theres not enough CW FA's.

[Azuvector]

Whatchoo mean?! Theres not enough CW FA's.

BS. Let's get some FAs with Stormtrooper spam.

[Metaguardian]

Is this going to be a full Mb2 assault map or just a small duel map?

[Plasma]

Is this going to be a full Mb2 assault map or just a small duel map?

Both of them.

[Metaguardian]

Both of them.

Excellent.:D

Both I would say are about 70% done, mustafar needs some more stuff to make it better in open and Tradefed needs fixes, more gameplay testings and more crap in the hangar :p

[GoodOlBen]

Mustafar wins, don't change anything except some visuals o.o

[ShadeyMan]

Make it so when the map opens or round begins you hear Greivous say Mustafar.."MOOSTAFAAAR-SYSTEM!"

[GoodOlBen]

Yeah LOL :D

[ixin]

The Lava-Fall looks kinda odd, or it's just me and the picture is deceiving me!

well, i just got this crazy idea for a map :D well, i know how to model, i have 3ds max and maya, the problem is map model.... It's BSP file and sory i have not checked it yet but can 3ds max or maya open that file?

i did allso see that there is a MAP viewer for JK2 and JKA "Q3Map2" bu i can't get it to work, i have vista and when i run the EXE it just shut down :S

//by the way, can you give me any more info about JK maps?

[Lervish]

Wowza! o.o

No neither can open BSP ...

Q3Map2 is what is used to compile .maps into .bsp not view them.


//by the way, can you give me any more info about JK maps?

I can but this isn't really a thread about answer questions on how to map.

//by the way, can you give me any more info about JK maps?

We could but that would take all the credit away from the SEARCH (http://www.moviebattles.com/forums/search.php) function.

Thanks to Mace for taking some nice new pictures of Mustafar and thanks to Frost who made some awesome lava spurt effects.

[Metaguardian]

Ok this just got pushed up to the top of my 'MOST WANTED MB2 MAPS' list.

[The Swashbuckler]

Looks great. How's the FPS?

[Pilo T]

heh, kind of reminds me of a... nevermind. I won't go there. Mustafar looks nice. Maybe I'll actually get to play it, unlike Star Destroyer (****ing 24/7 DotF)

Ok this just got pushed up to the top of my 'MOST WANTED MB2 MAPS' list.

That will always be Kamino for me. The Kamino map I used to play Force Mod III just to play (cause no JA+ servers ran it) was ****ing incredible. Unfortunately, Kamino will never exist as more than a duel map (cause, ****, I'm not mapping something as advanced as Kamino and I still haven't gotten back into mapping because none of my computers are running radiant STILL)

[Plasma]

Seems fine for me.

[GoodOlBen]

Seems fine for me.

Agreed on most part, only part where there's a slight hitch is imp spawn when you look at it when coming from main. Or when there's a big big fight ensuing on main.

[Teelos]

Looks beastly! Just curious though, does that beam above the lava break off? Im not sure whats going off in the screenies :p

[Frost]

Look at the arm and at the lava line, and youll see that in some pics its actually bending. :p

[The Swashbuckler]

Yes. Plasma has integrated Valve's cinematic physics tech from HL2: Episode 2 into the Quake III engine. Rite?

[FrenzY]

[Plasma]

Bump, new Aliens map:

[Varlesh]

Maps win. Better than number 1 imo.

[Warad Mohar]

New map better come with some Hudson and Hicks taunts for the Marines...

[Sovario]

VERY VERY NICE PLASMA. MUSTAFAR WINZ!! Your map and BoC are my favourites. Gratz.

[AlphaFA]

Unless Plasma somehow gets better models for Marines, the skin might stay.
The map is great.

[Radical]

Is Toshi's Anakin/Vader (badass models) be on RC2? at least Toshi's Anakin looks better to me then hapslash's, if not at least add his Vader on RC2 it's MORE better then the current one and seriously if people don't know of Toshi's work (anakin/vader) OMFG you guys have been missing good stuff. use google to find them =D

[GoodOlBen]

Toshi's Vader will be in, Anakin won't.

[Radical]

Toshi's Vader will be in, Anakin won't.

Awesome Toshi's Vader on RC2 yay...!, and no problem since I have Toshi's Anakin replacement on my mb2folder and I hope it will work on RC2 :o and I understand, Hapslash deserves to have few on his models on MBII, because he did put a lot of work on them, back then when the young JKA community acted like morons commenting they were fake or to rush his works and release them, still he had lot's of patience and retired from JKA (he will be remembered by those who enjoys to use few of his JKA models like me), still we have you MBII Team. :p

and what about that Improved EPII Anakin/uses haps textures that is on visual section, will be that used to replace the current one? or just leave it alone? thx. LINKIMPROVEDEPIIANAKIN (http://www.moviebattles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21730&highlight=anakin)

[Khage]

...>:l

[Aéró]

YAY new Aliens map .The old one will get forgotten forever then :S

[Sovario]

I was wondering. On your Mustafar map, will we be able to swing on cables like Anakin and Obi-Wan did. You guys remember, the thing that breaks off. It'd be cool if we could press use and we could swing around like the grappling hooks in JA+. And if we wanted to let go, press use again.

I'm also VERY excited for that map, do you have any release dates? Or is it just going to be released with RC2?

[^Weedsmoker]

Maybe if I ever cared to fix the torso texture alignment and if the MB2 team wanted to include my HS textures slapon simple as **** reskin then it could get added lol.

[Plasma]

I'd add it if you get it done.

Well the old one has a new FA with new stuff in and this one will not overwrite it so people can still play it.

[Jason_Bourne]

That's too bad since Weedsmoker is banned from this place now (I saw it in his profile) and well if any in the MBII team bothers to (fix torso texture) that would be great, because that Improved EPII Anakin looks better then the original. :p

[Plasma]

Just something I've been playing about with thanks to a cool replacement tutorial for any gfx in maps:

[Radical]

Epic Pictures <3 LOL can't wait for RC2 alright.

[MaceCrusherMadunusus]

See plas, good idea I had huh? :P

[UnsungHero]

why is the lord of the rings dude (aragorn?) have an icon for master sword o.o

[Azuvector]

See plas, good idea I had huh? :P

Debatable. I despise the look of some of those. If you guys really have a hardon for making custom HUDs per map, I'll set up some sort've config file for you to use for it that can be cvar-disabled, because I sure as hell don't wanna use them. :P

Those are movie maps azu -.- they are kinda gonna be more over the top.

Then again azu, you are a REALLY picky person <3.

[GoodOlBen]

Plas give me that Halo HUD now!

[Aéró]

There is a Halo map on the way? Cool..

[Sovario]

bout flippin time!! A NORMANDY MAP!!!

[LewsTherin]

I think a kill bill map would be awesome to be honest.

[Jack of Blades]

If those halo weapons have cutom soudns as well i want a replacement.And that alien map looks interesting.

[Plasma]

Haven't posted in here in ages so I thought I'd do a little update.

Only working on two maps at the moment and they're both for the MGM.

First one is Pokemon, set in Pallet Town and Viridian City, big thanks to Lerv for rigging all the Pokemon player models.

If you hang around on IRC you'll probably have seen it but here are some shots.











Playable Pokemon on it at the moment are Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo and Kadabra.

And the second one I haven't long started so I only have one picture for now but it is a third Aliens map:



Will post more up as it gets done.

[Cookie]

looking great, i have seen teh screenies on your xfire page a while back but keep it up, woulda thought for playable models youd perhaps have just one stage in evolution but we'll see how it plays and any ideas on an obj?

[Scizor]

It plays great tbh, greatest map ever!

[Cookie]

lies thats sailbarges title and you know it :P

[Angrenost]

Pokemon map needs Team Rocket.

Also a Koffing-deka.

[SrsClown]

Do not know if want.


Okay. Do want :D

[Particle Man]

Why do we need a 3rd aliens map? I'd prefer more focus on recreating the battle of hoth... :D

[Plasma]

We don't need one, I want to make it though.

[Palin]

the **** looks good.

[Avenger]

the **** looks good.

Yeah, cool stuff. More maps with more walls to wallhack for you! Keep them walls coming! This one doesnt care!

[Yzmo]

Just make sure to use the original Pallt Town music..

Awww <3 Pokemon.

[t-773]

Pokemon mod. Do it now!

[Maick]

Really looking forward to play those two maps, great work Plasma. :D Keep going keep going :D :D :D

[[France]Suxu]

pokemon map needs team rocket.

+1 .

[Jack]

aliens vs predator map would be cool

[Palin]

Well I'd like to point out avenger that it's called facade, in your location. Other than that I don't have much to say. FYI, there's a lot of maps that wallhacks DON'T work on.

[Avenger]

Oho! Actually it´s called Façade. However my location was an insider and therefore the mistake was intended. I really like how so many people pointed out that it is actually called FaçadeFaçadeFaçade and not FASSADE... Yeah.

I think you´re the sixth person? Anyway. When some of you guys are near the corner and dont see a way out you love to grab every little thing you can, eh? :D Oh and yes, I changed it anyway since hackers (*cough*) made the person this was aimed for quit the game anyway.
