need feedback: Lava Tiles

by **Jordann** » Sun Sep 23, 2012 1:04 am

sup guys, so phr33k was talking in the blast chat about looking for someone to do custom graphics for him. Hes found a way to play the game under custom files. So I decided why not, I enjoy doing this kind of stuff I'll help it. It ended up turning out pretty well, after the first night heres what we came up with:

I think it looks nice, so does he. anyways, iso some feedback on what you like and don't like. Ill do some edits depending on what people think.

Also, more to come soon. alot of cool new graphics will be released in due time, so keep an eye out. should be fun.

This cant be good.

Looks good. REALLY good. I love the black land, always wanted it to be a dark color so the colors of tanks would be more vibrant. I do think you should darken the tone of the lava or something to make it easier on the eyes....or unless you have another solution for that. Orange can be a bit bright....imagine a full screen of that.

Excellent work though, would love to see this in a map.

Looks great.

by **Jordann** » Sun Sep 23, 2012 1:34 am

also ftr ben cant edit anything edit then graphics so no worries about any hacks surfacing. Not to mention he has no interest in hacking this games speed or anything so dont get paranoid.

I have been dreaming of playing on lava tiles for a long, long time. It might actually happen? Omg.

I think the orange is okay. Maybe only slightly darker if people agree that it's too bright; but definitely a great shade of orange imo. Not too yellow, not too red.

Something about the land could be improved imo. I think it might look nicer if it was a bit easier to see the texture of the land. More of a contrast.
You could perhaps make the darker parts of the texture a deep deep black, like it's obsidian or something. Could look nice :shrug:

Also, I think white ferries would be a nice touch.

Now lets see some moon tiles from the community. Will yours look like cheese or not?

First, I would like Jeremiah to make his way back right now to talk about how this was his idea.

Then I want him to flip shit when phr33k and Jordan get phs for this.

tugg rage incoming

by **BOSS7** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:11 am

looks really good!

but I do agree ferries could be white and lava could be a shade or two darker if I'm staring at a full screen of lava that will be really bright.

Obstacles that look more like darker boulders or even large chunks of pyrite would be sweet.

Mainly though, the bit of lava that goes around the edge of the lakes, next to the land, needs to be the darker orange colour. Not only will it be more aesthetically pleasing but it'll make more sense too - the outside and bits touching the land would be colder and therefore darker.

where is tugg :tehfunny:

by **winter** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:02 pm

Tiles look amazing. Implement it and increase the game speed and I'll play for sure.

by **savin** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:21 pm

This topic screams tugg boat.. :evillaugh:

by **invazn** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:43 pm

Tugg isn't the first to have the idea. He is just the first to submit tiles. I along with dozens of others independently sent "lava map" in for a lb a decade ago.

SW wrote:Apparently Tugg didn't win LIGHTBULB award on TankPit so he's now messaging everyone telling them not to play TankPit, it's a fraud, they cheated him, they're racist, etc.

I think we need to discuss this openly. Tugg Boat is in his 20s afaik but he's acting like a 10 year old girl. The game is free, the people who run it decide who wins, he can hardly claim he is "entitled" to win for any reason. The LB is notoriously hard to win.

Just in case anyone still thinks he was treated unfairly or something, the icing on the cake is what he submitted for LIGHTBULB:

1. Lava tiles: http://i.imgur.com/rrteC.gif

2. New map: http://i.imgur.com/e2gks.gif

The colors don't line up, looks like shit, his map looks like castles with chunks of all other maps cut out and pasted over it. Also, these should be a PH submission instead of LB lol.

In summary, this guy has gone off the deep end. ITT: trying to talk some sense into him or just laughing at him.

Tugg wrote:OK, yeah im clearly mad and what not, but who cares, lets go over somethings that i feel violates my user agreement rights--only #1 applies to this..DO NOT READ ALL OF THIS IF U DONT LIKE LONG THREAds ABOUT "THE DEVELOPER/SW"

1. your supposed to be a dev for tankpit.com, and u openly posted my private submission for all users to see, regardless on if i was working on anything or not that coincides with this submission. This is only to be seen through my id on tp, or the link i have privatley submitted to tankpit.com. this is my private submission and only mine, if it were the worlds then u wouldnt have to submit anything..(btw the thought of a new map was my idea, i made these to give them more of an idea on what to do, beings that they already have 6+ maps, im sure they shouldnt have a problem making tiles, WHY TELL SOMEONE THEIR EFFORT IS SHITTY? NOONE ELSE HAS CAME THIS FAR WITH ANYTHING SUCH AS THIS PRIOR TO THIS TIME FRAME...(IDEA WAS FOR LB, PH WAS FOR THE MAP) --NEITHER ONE ACCUMULATED--

2. it has been sent in before valadiex on the promotion points button, but yet he gets this award after submission and questions have developed prior to his submission on why dont we have pps showing up and if we could use a diff button for this( shot down last month on this) same idea but a little diff concept..

3. i submitted that there should be a CHANGE MAP button if there is a map up and running that noone liked to play and based on the majority of players per day, to the percentage that click the (CHANGE MAP) button, then the map changes!!! great idea (SHOT DOWN ONCE AGAIN)

4. also created tiles for another map that lookd very interesting, (SHOT DOWN ONCE AGAIN....pattern here?) i must be receiving it in the poop shoot at this point..

5. the whole idea about the lava map and the idea of it and having a new map for tankpit was a stellar idea, even to the crowd of approx: 10-12 people in teamspeak, everyone said they would drop utanks and only play Tankpit (SHOT DOWN, but this time it was ''DONT post anything about what ur idea was but blur it out if u do in case u dont want it getting out to utanks?? hrmm the pattern here is starting to be very evident, but isnt that what the award was to be given for? a GREaT IDEA?)

6. this is a factor but i spoke with phsyco doctor, and he said his submission wasnt close to anything i have sent in, so the indeffinant answer to everyone about me being pissed and trying to get people to quit playing, i havent tryed to get them to quit, i only warned players that their is alot of favortism in this game as well as utanks, and the awards arent going to be given based on the absolute best entries but only what THEY LIKE or should i say WHO THEY LIKE... yes it sucks but like everything else, time heals wounds but the scar and memory will always be there...btw im sorry for the game/players slowed down approx 65% of playing time..BrianM has quit cause of this and some other older ones and im sorry and i wish that the devs would just be legit about this and go on.. i find out SW posted this and took 2 weeks for somone to show me, to make me try and look bad for making a fuss but keep reading LOL.

*SW's TIPs/LIGHTBULBS FOR THE DAY*

-to be a decent and good developer, one should hide behind his past and see the good of what is being shared other than(NO WAY i WONt give hIM THAT AWARD, THATS SO AND SO or HE DID ThIs Like a MONTH AGO ABOUT ME!)

-either be a player/ or play the game, u cannot do both, fact! <--favortism will aquire, even if u think it wont

-shut your mouth about what people post on tankpit.com, this isnt at all funny and certain people could take this a little more serious than a simple long post like mine < my wrist yes it is!

-the idea of me posting you idea's on what not to do/ and how to properly be a developer is the best LB entry ever lol.. but like u havent been doing, may want to take this advice JOHN REDCORN... ( this will never happen no matter how good my idea is!)

PS- TANKPIT.COM SENDS ME AN EMAIL ABOUT EXPERIMENTING WITH THE LAVA MAPS AND IT WAS A GREAT IDEA AND SO ON AND SO ON...I HAVE THE EMAIL WHICH STATES THE REASON I AM SO PISSED ''WE THINK YOUR IDEA IS AWESOME AND WILL EXPERIMENT WITH THIS IDEA'' WOW FTW!!! and my ass hurts
