Who would like to make me a flat map with all kinds of random terrain and buildings and stuff for me to test on?

I might do it in an hour or so, if nobody else volunteers. Anything in particular you're looking for?

I'm assuming so you can test units under different environments.

Well it should have all sort of things that you would normally see in Europe in Ruins. It should be flat so terrain doesn't mess with scatter. Needs to have a road for speed testing. And random things like houses, sandbags, craters, and stuff for combat tests. Also some sort of shooting range with the distances marked out. Use your imagination. Best Map will get reward points for after the rework  . |

Well one thing about the current maps I don't like is that it takes too long to run to the middle of the map from both sides. Put the spawns somewhat close. And that the terrain is all messy and makes it difficult to test things.

Was going to get watch some videos for an hour before I did this but now that I know exactly what I need to do it sounds more interesting. Working on it now.

Shouldn't there be a hilly area for testing things like "is this unit effective only on flat ground?"

The map is basically done now, what should I name it and how many players should it accommodate?

It can just be 2p, mapname can just be test map. The .sga should probably be called betamap

http://www.filefront.com/17511974/betamap.sgaThis is my first finished and playable map so let me know if I failed at something. Or if it's too small or missing something you wanted. I couldn't actually mark a firing range out with numbers, but I made both an infantry and cannon firing range. The infantry firing range is a bunch of rows of sandbags in front of a manor, the sandbag walls are five metres apart. You can stand the infantry squads on them if you want to test cover at certain ranges, or just next to them if you want to test open fighting at certain ranges. The cannon firing range is on the opposite side of the map which is mostly empty. There are tanktraps every five metres and a donkey every ten metres.

tip: make it good if u want RWs.

Telling me my map is bad without telling me how to improve it doesn't help anyone. And I don't really care for RPs, I was doing this to help out.

That won't work, I can't load up any existing EiRR maps with worldbuilder because it crashes every time.
How about you compile a list of what I should change, instead of saying one thing at a time, and how to accomplish it? I know that I have to make a new map with bigger dimensions and stamp my current one on to enlarge what I've got, but I have absolutely no clue how to make my road count as an actual road.
Alternatively, if you don't want to give constructive criticism, make it yourself or don't comment just to say mine is bad.

stamping the map wont be worth it.
you can check if the road works by going to overlay -> terrain cover -> (ctrl +f5)
sorry, but i dont really have time to go and completely describe what to do. its not that hard.

Ok well i had a stab at making a test map for BoB it can be added to if needed Used a 5m grid to mark out some distances with Decals at 5m intervals   |
