As part of my Christmas Celebrations, I have been gathering intel on which of my maps should be converted into a Winter Warzone, as chosen by you! Below are images to the maps within the poll, which you can click on to be taken to their Workshop page. Please drop us a vote and come Christmas, the new map will be released!
A good perspective! I have to say, I completely agree with you too. In fact, this is the main reason why I create mostly 3vs3 and 4vs4 maps - it gives me something fresh to play. However, you have to do it without automatch.
Simply, there is no way to prevent all winter maps from having blizzards, as the code is added to each individual map. However, if you are adamant that you do not want them, you can open the .SCAR file for each individual map, delete the contents, and then publish it again.
Basically, it's a pain. However, most of the newer maps don't have blizzards!
Here's another one for you. Worldbuilder can't open any maps if it's using data that's queued for change. Have you got an update to the game paused? If so, it blocks Worldbuilder from doing anything, lest it corrupt the files!
I think as a newbie map maker, a tutorial that discusses the map "build order" (assuming there is one) would be super helpful. In other words, I know how to make a map that is saveable, how to use the spline tool, splats, etc...but past those basic tutorials...I don't know how the "pro" map makers proceed. Do they put buildings up first? Do they do elevation? Do they focus on specific map sections first? Those sorts of decisions and why they make them.
Smaller things I personally need direction on:
-How to change water color.
-How to use the elevation tool.
-How to make ruts and tracks show up on the roads.
-More detailed explanation of how changing "color" and "opacity" works and makes a difference.
-How to make/save stamps.
One last comment. Whomever does these tutorials....be as specific as possible and SLOW when describing things. Also...do it several times so that we get the idea of whatever you're explaining repeated.
I like to say....Act like you're explaining it to a 3 year old.
Well what do you know? I have a free day today to record. I'll jump on that straight away!
