Just letting you all know I am here, just busy offline. Wanted to let whoever's interested know that I'm no longer going to be starting up a new rendition of CTM Central due to stuff. Red never replied either, and you all seem cozy here. But if anyone wants to take up the gauntlet of running a multi-admin thread then you may use the ideas I've discussed. If not, then that's fine too
Anyway, I'll still be posting on here occasionally, and also answering pms, but may be quitting mapmaking for a while :/ in all honesty Underoot was becoming a bit of a headache... I should return to it one day, though.
How's everyone's maps doing?
Ohai Skeeto, haven't seen you in a lil' bit. My map is coming along quite nicely, as I only have 3 areas left, and then I'll be off to Alpha Testing. It's too bad you couldn't beta, but you can still play it whenever you like once it's out. I'll be putting a link here, so don't worry, you guize won't miss out on anything.

Indeed. Also, I'd just like to flaunt the fact that I had the 1337th reply.
EDIT: On a completely unrelated topic, I've realized that I really want to make more CTM maps, and want to know if you guys could come up with any good collective titles for them. The working draft for it is "Infamous Adventures," but I have a feeling that you guys could come up with some better ones.
Let it be said that my lurker status is now broken! I am now the noob of the thread. :0
I have just started playing the map Catharsis by Unstorpable and it's really good so far. The maps looks very nice and is balanced so far. I am at I1 and have finished the area House in the Forest and I'm on the beach one. I plan on posting updates every once in awhile.
Thanks for the feedback, Flash. Also, I dub ye n00b of the thread, o Sir Allizar. This also means that Flash is no longer the thread n00b, and that he owes us caek for promoting him.
Hey guys,
So I have been posting pics here every once and a while of my CTM map To Greener PasturesTM
Thought I would compile the pics into a post for any newcomers or anybody that hasn't seem them yet. The map uses a farm monument where you have to be place the item on the monument just like any other CTM. So here they are feel free to leave any comments or suggestions!
Pic#1 I finished this area today!
Pic#2 an updated version of the aerospace festival!
Pic#3 Farm monument
Pic#4 Might call it tower of the living dead or something along the lines of that! Btw this is very small portion of the actual area.
They're the three next ones I think I'm gonna be doing
Thanks for the feedback I like it to
Nice!Skyward Ascent is a lot of fun I have been enjoying it immensely ! i'd say it is slightly easier than decent into darkness.
Good job bro, I really like the hot air balloons A suggestion though, it would look amazing if you put a roof over some of those areas then light up some of the walls, gives a very nice feel to the area.
Then you wouldnt be able to see the redstonelamp stars in the sky! Althought I might put like a rib cage of stone of the first pic
@Flash, I say if you add a few more levels with those rooms along the sides at different points, then add the lava, you should be good.
SO.
I've been working on the final version of Dreadsky Isles, and I honestly think I may finish it and upload it today. Problem is, 1.5 is coming out tomorrow. That leaves me with a schedule conflict. Seeing as I use the smooth full slabs in different areas, and those are getting an update in 1.5 (new value of 43:8), I don't know if I should update those and tell people to use the 1.5 pre-release, or if I should have two separate versions for people wanting to stay in 1.4.7 and people who have updated to 1.5, which would potentially confuse people.
Another issue is the fact that I haven't tested the map with 1.5. I'm mostly concerned about the new mob AI; rapid fire close-range skellies could spell a HUGE difficulty spike in Distress Fall, or the change could be trivial.
It's a closed beta, so these are the only people who will be testing. I chose them because they had mapping experience, were long-time CTM players, or I've just gotten to know them and think they can give me good feedback.
cameron274, karrotts, Garblahooga, Domara, XL_Legendary, and Torien. I would've had Drago and Skeeto, but they had other stuffs. Dylan...I uhh..kinda umm...forgot...it's kinda too late tho. sorry.
And of course, I'll be alpha testing before all this. and finishing the map.
I'm making a new area, it takes place in a ravine but I'm not quite sure how to fill it... I know I'm going to add lots of lava but I'm hoping some of you CTM experts can help .
Looks nice so far. I've always liked having stalactites in caves, personally, and I feel that a couple of them in there could really look cool.

Any suggestions? I'm a bit stumped. D:
The skele changes already took place, they were updated in the quick downloader thingadoodle that happens every time you start the game. The only A.I. change is on zombies.
How would you guys like it if I made a video of me creating an area in my map? Just one to show you how I do things and such...
That would be amazing. Does anyone know of a mapmaker that streams themselves mapmaking on twitch or youtube? I've become interested in mapmaking, but still very new and nooby with it.
Also have there been any updates on the schematic community shop? Sorry if a decision has been made about this, I haven't noticed it.

Amlup has done that once or twice before, but I don't think anyone does it regularly. I might want to try it at some point, but I doubt my computer or my internet is up to specs for livestreaming.
Update on Catharsis progress:
I finished I1. My favorite part was the Climb. I was humming Eye of the Tiger the entire area. I started I2. I chose to start with the laboratory area. So far I really dislike this area, but that is probably because I fail at those types of areas. Well, that is it for this update.
Thanks for the feedback!

I don't think that many people would mind waiting another day for DSI, personally, That'd also make it a lot less confusing than having two downloads.
Sir yes sir!

Well, what Dylan just said about Optifine pretty much nailed it down for me. I can organize it so that it doesn't look too confusing.
The skele changes already took place, they were updated in the quick downloader thingadoodle that happens every time you start the game. The only A.I. change is on zombies.

Also have there been any updates on the schematic community shop? Sorry if a decision has been made about this, I haven't noticed it.
I think I'd enjoy that! It'd be interesting to see how other mapmakers make their areas.
