It's my first quad post, i wasn't aware you can use html

Not a problem. :D

Because his has better lighting, real grass, different scale, and it was made in less than ten minutes. ;)

so you spent 80 hours and have less quality then that of some who spent 10 min :p

I know, isn't this funny?

thats actually being powned :P. i hope for you, that youll do faster then 80 hours on making a map when you would play on that mapping competion ;D.

That is just your opinion. Don't get cocky about it. The complexities of both are no different, he just has a single light source, and an ugly brick texture.

There is a reply button, make use of it.
If you would take the time to actually look, you'll see that each side is completely different. If you doubt me, then take one side, duplicate and rotate it above the other side. The pathways are all unique to each other.

You're missing the point. I'm not trying to compete on the lights and textures level.
The point is that I made a huge maze with very little work on my part. This method of creating stuff can be extended to making epic procedural maps that you just give a few params and it gets automatically made.

Take no offence, he is fairly new.

to windecker,
maybe thats why you should take it as offense, just because its even a less experienced mapper as i am :P.

to mhelenurm,
please go check your own maps first, before you judge suchs things like that (this counts on mediterranean garden too)...

seeing as how it's marked as conceptual, it's main purpose is to show the _automatic_ part of it, i really dont see why someone would want to waste time dressing up a map. why would i make the rest of a map look nice if all i'm talking about is a specific property? (in this case the automatic generation of the maze) dont bring your in-game hatred to Quadropolis.

@ Mhelenurm

OK if you are going to critique a map u have to first understand the purpose of the map:

Some important tags to understand:

conceptual: a map that is there to prove a point or to share an idea

work in progress: a map in which is being worked on but needs some ideas on how to continue

artistic: a map in which shares a way or multiple ways to manipulate cubes

open for review: a map that is almost complete but may need a couple improvement and suggestions

To understand a map you must know the reason for it, for example this map:
This node was created in response to windecker's map Minoan who spent about 80 hours, this map was created a few min

Please read and understand the creator's notes, (the portion below the screenshot) then you can properly rate this map, and other maps :)

Hope This Helps

the map was made to show how it was made! it was not made for you to jump over walls like the child you are -.-

Actually... while i was discussing it, jumping over the gaps on top of the walls seemed more fun than actually solving the maze. I'm not going to lie, mazes are not fun to do, lol.

I solved my uber maze. took five hours, on and off. I just kept saving my waypoints. :) They show up real nice in the dark with bloom.

k, can you solve mine now? lol

I'll try. Also, you should expand your script now, to add random bricks sticking out, or farther in, and to rough up the top of the maze. To make it look eroded. :) I do realize it would require a lot of effort, but it would be worth it.

well i think the .zip with the node is his sample map, and the url he gives is to the files used to create the map. you compile them i think.

What OS, and what are you compiling it with?

Use the reply button., and state your compiler.
I managed to get this working under linux in the command line, personally. ( with help )

i used visual c++ in XP

Wolverine, I did not make this for Windows. You can just compile this with a simple make in linux if you have build-essential. If you really want help with compilig on Windows come to the #hypertriangle channel on quakenet and i'll help you there.
