*Official Map Makeover thread*

[(CDG) maxpower]

This thread is now the official topic for the map makeover exercise. You will post your chosen map, finished map, and any questions here.

- The match-ups are listed below, and you can begin your makeovers as soon as you decide on your assigned author's map.

- The final day is August 21st (next Sunday)

- Please post the map name you are going to makeover here or at FCMAPS.NET, and remember that the author can veto that choice if they are currently updating that map.

- Please don't use the July TOTM maps, as many are still being judged for that contest.

- An author can make a 'request' for the map to be made over, but the person assigned to them has no obligation to fulfill that request.

- If there are any issues between the author/makeover pair, you need to try and work that out amongst yourselves before you bring it here.

- Work done on the makeover-in-progress can only be done by the person assigned to the author. These are not co-ops.

- Remember, you must keep the original name in the final map name. Examples would be "Last Oupost v1", "Last Outpost redux", "Max's Last Outpost", etc.

Have fun with it and remember...if we can't tell what you changed, you need to do more. If we can't tell what map it used to be, you did too much.

With all that said, here are the match-ups:


bongobreak will makeover ----------> menace-76/menace--76 (Power Plant?)
menace-76 will makeover ----------->Negrumir/EPIC_CAMPAGE/Phace_Palm (Vertigo)
Negrumir will makeover -------------> OSAMASTYLEZ
OSAMASTYLEZ will makeover -------> Robeir1983
Robeir1983 will makeover ------------>Transfer6000
Transfer6000 will makeover ---------> yoz303303
yoz303303 will makeover -----------> bongobreak (Chainsaw Massacre)

(match-ups were determined by listing you in alphabetical order, then assigning you to the person below you on the list)

If anyone CAN'T complete their makeover for some reason, please let me know as soon as possible.

Let the magic begin...

Bongobreak...

i cant even watch that many movies in a week...
where do i start!

checked all your maps in the editor and there all really good...

the map that i would like to give a go is chainsaw massacre
if Bongobreak is OK whit that......

There is some room left to make that a more playable map then it is ATM about 20 grids now
I want to scale it down to 8 or less and rework the terrain
maybe leave some features from the movie out or relocate closer to the action

that`s my basic plan and see along the way how it turns out....
maybe add some colonial fences

[Robeir1983]

Cool, I like Transfers Maps, should be good 

I will have a look and choose one to wreck....erm....I mean change later  I have a plan of action, I just need something suitable to pull it off on.

I'm more than happy for you to have a go at any map yoz
Chainsaw Massacre sounds good to me if you are happy to do it - you're right though, it is quite big - it is one of my earlier maps - back before I figured that smaller maps were better lol.
If you can compress it to a smaller size, then that would be great.
I don't think I have used any occlusion either, but I'll leave it to you whether or not to do this also

I have full confidence in you yoz, I'm looking forward to seeing some unique yoz-magic 

....maybe add some colonial fences

lol, if you can squeeze in some more then go for it

[(CDG)yoz303303]

ok great i will start today....

most of your maps are so good i don`t really want to touch them...
chainsaw massacre looks awesome and suits my `style` better...

i was looking at NY world fair first and was thinking NO WAY....
There is nothing to make better....

Happy mappinng 2 all

[[CDG] bongobreak]

Thanks yoz, can't wait to see it

So I've drawn the captain huh?
How can I possibly do a makeover on the boss's maps? lol - Firstly they're all superb and I'm not sure I'm qualified to 'improve' anything.
Secondly, if I miraculously manage to make even a slight improvement, he'll fire me from the site ROFL - only joking of course
Seriously though, I will work with the list you posted earlier Deez (shown below) and hopefully be able to choose one to 'makeover' - although (as yoz said earlier) I may just fill it full of laggy nonsense and colonial fences....I do enjoy colonial fencing LOL

CaptainDEEZ:
Underdark
Cloverleaf
Energy Cannon
DangerRoom2.1
BallBreaker (my first published map)
Octogon
The Cove

cdeezgames_com:
Chemikill
Claustrophobia

Cpt_DEEZ:
Deadlock2.0
JumpThis!2.0

I'll post which one I choose when I've grabbed them and had a good rummage around in the editor

[(CDG)CaptainDEEZ]

No problem.  You can pick any of them you want to.  It doesn't have to be from the list.

Cool, what if the map name is maxed out? How do we rename it then? I suppose we could use part of the name if we had to but I don't know.

Also, Menace has two accounts Menace-76 and Menace--76 (Noticed the two hyphens.) Are both included or is just the account listed available? That question is directed at Menace really.

And he's doing one of my maps, which is cool.

This gonna be a great event.
I guess when we host the maps it would be best to host the original before or after it.

And of OSAMA's maps I guess that Shadow Moses would be a bad choice to make over. lol
1. It's already awesome.
2. Max already did it over and it was even more awesome.
3. I'm not that awesome.

I'd say work it out with the author. Hopefully a 'v1' or something could be stuck in there without too much changing.

Also, Menace has two accounts Menace-76 and Menace--76 (Noticed the two hyphens.) Are both included or is just the account listed available? That question is directed at Menace really.

Yeah I forgot about that...Deez can pick off either name. I'll add it to the original list.

1. It's already awesome.
2. Max already did it over and it was even more awesome.
3. I'm not that awesome.

I'm surprised he opted for this after what I did to his map...guess he didn't learn the first time 

[(CDG)CaptainDEEZ]

I'll start looking at his map lists tonight.

[(CDG)CaptainDEEZ]

Aww crap!

Don't think I'll make it for this contest.  Just got the yellow light of death again.  That blows!
I was just about to make a piece for CDG Space Station that metallicamaniac was making and it happened.
Weak...

And I really wanted to do this and then finish the template 2.  I suppose I'll have to invest in a heat gun this time and give it another go.  It'll be at least a week before I'm back online if the fix works again, longer if not.
Sorry about having to drop out of this contest.

[(CDG) Pounded_by_slave]

That means your a player short, doesn't it?  .
Max, I can makeover 1 of Bongo's maps if you want.

Thats sucks...mine only lasted a few months after I did the fix too. Sounds like you are down for the count...

I don't mind if you want to step in...that would work out best. You would be doing a remake on one of menace's maps...and bongo would have to do one of yours.

BONGO, STOP MAPPING!!!

[menace-76]

Too bad Deez, sorry too hear that, wasn't this your second PS3, was it new? I still have my first phat one, hoping it will live on forever like my ps2

So I get to makeover a Negrumir Original Will check out his maps, most are know too me, but  may have missed some beauties

and be gentle with my maps PBS 

[(CDG) Pounded_by_slave]

I'll take his place. Time to free up some megabytes so I can download more maps....

Edit: I just remembered  I don't need to delete anything I've already deleted a LBP backup this morning : . Bongo, I should warn you that if you add much to my R!ver R@mp@ge map it will be laggy.
