Rotate/Flip Map - In Game Lobby

posted on April 2nd, 2010, 6:36 am

Just a random idea:

In the game lobby, allow the game creator the ability to flip and/or rotate the map by 90 degrees. This would give a little more variety in the maps (especially community favorites).

i don't understand?

even if you flip the map, the map starting positions remain the same

if you want to change them, you have to move them from map editor - causing a totally new map to be created...

The flip/rotate would include the starting positions in the flip or rotate.


You're right - I do want to change the map, I just suck at map making (or editing or just don't have the time, etc). Rotating a map (with everything that it is comprised of, starting points included) could potentially be a cheap (from a player's perspective) way to add some replayability into some maps.



(one in a hundred ideas is good, one in a hundred good ideas is implemented - this is probably neither, but better to generate ideas than to sit at square zero forever)
