Escalated Build size for map submissions.

[Ziu.]

I was planning on building FFA map and submitting it to CubeCraft, at first I look up at the requirements.

After I saw the requirements I started working on a floating island with a program called "WorldPainter", you can find the island I made here.

I got distracted because I was really proud how the island turn out :) then one person asked me, how big it is and I started worrying, the map, in general, was too big. When I was making the island, I noticed that it turned out quite big, but I thought I can build a mountain or something, apparently, if I build on that map I need to cover more then a half of the map with mountains or something that is not acceptable to play there. Here's the dimensions of the map and a response from the designer when I asked how big the map can be.

* All I'm suggesting is to let the builders know the minimum and maximum build sizes for submissions in thread. *​

This is a no brainer, we need to provide map builders ALL the requirements for a map to be accepted. +1

It takes probably less than five minutes to do so... Why not?

 

[Ziu.]

It was a pain to find out how big it can be since the helpers didn't knew the exact size, so I waited and after around 30 minutes I got an answer from mitgobla. Some other builder might be more unlucky and wait for answer longer.

With a build, I only have two annoying choices, build a huge mountain or volcano on a map I have and spend more time focused on that, or make a smaller version of the island and then start building there, which will probably take less time than option 1...

I agree, it is much more informative to know the exact measurements needed to create a map.

Hello
This is a good suggestion u coming up with!
have a good day!

 

[Fesa]

Have an escalated, I believe all specific and known rules for maps should be listed!

Escalated!

You should have measured CCG’s maps, all of them are 200x200 with Oil Rig being 80x80. I asked a mod if he’d help get measurements, he said they didnt do that - obviously he did not know what he was talking about. So I did it myself. It would have been way better if they gad specified it though.

+1, although I’d say just a PS dont build an FFA map if you havent played the game lots. It may look simple but you have to think a lot.

Hi

I agree with the idea, you cannot know the size of each map because it’s not specifically explained, great suggestion! +1

 

[ItzEnd3r]

yeah, i had the same issue with my blockwars map (https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/blockwars-dragons.254377/) where it ended up being twice as big as normal because there is no way to know how big it should be. +1

 

[Queen Ualala]

is no way to know how big it should be.

The idea is that people who have played the maps know how big they should be

After mitgobla's answer, I asked if I can use 300x300, he said it should be fine, so even though you can feel the scale of existing maps, you might still want to know if you can build it larger than the existing ones, and you might want to know how large you can build it so it doesn't get rejected. Same with smaller ones.

 

[Ziu.]

About measuring existing maps your self is not what everybody willing to do, running all the maps on foot when you can just look up at requirements, and be done with it...

I don't know, I play a lot of ffa, when I do, I don't look at my f3 and measure the map.

@Priley, do you mind sharing why did you vote for no?

 

[FnigePython]

this should be for eggwars + skywars too

though that would be harder to do

This thread is already aimed to include all minigame sizes, FFA was just an example.

ah, i keep reading too fast. sorry

 

[Ziu.]

@Fesa, do you know if any of staff discussing about this thread? Is it decided or not?

 

[Ziu.]

Bump, I think map measurements should be added, it should be essential.
