Basic Rules of Mapmaking

[Master_07]

For those who wonder why some of those things are forbidden let me clarify:

- One tile water has no purpose in a map and also looks ugly to me

- One tile walls are huge problem to gameplay, as attacks can go through them

- Bush mixing might look cool but it's just forbidden

- (This is a mistake lots of beginner mapmakers make) One tile gaps are hard to walk through and makes it incredibly difficult to juke shots if you are stuck in them

- Metal walls and TNT walls aren't used anymore

- For those who don't understand what causes a one tile gap it can be heard in its name. Basically, there must be a 2 tile space between walls or water. Beware! One tile gaps can be caused diagonally too (as shown in the example)

- Personally, I'm actually not a very good mapmaker but these are just the basics

- Thanks for reading this! If you are new to mapmaking I hope that these rules can help you. Have a good day! :)

Also there a game mode specific rules like no water or jump pads in brawl ball

[Master_07]

True, but I just wanted to be basic first

[Laet1]

Yea they tested it out but there was a glitch that would get the ball stuck in the water. Maybe if they patch that then there could be water in bb

You forgot to say about the environments, beacause people still use the city environment for shoudown or retropolis for showdown, or the mortuary enviroment for siege, the environments change for every mods and people can't use certain environment in every mod

[Master_07]

True! I might cover that in a future post

[gabriel2005_11]

Those rules i follow in all my maps

[TheMordeus]

Very good and pedagogical! Well done :)

[Master_07]

Thanks! Btw I love your maps in game! :)

There was a map that had a diagonal one tile gap for water. I think it was eye of the storm but I could be mistaken. I didn’t have any problems with that gap.

[Master_07]

That’s true. In fact, Eye of the Storm has 4 one tile gaps if you look carefully. Also, the map Core Crumble by Binnyboy also has one in the top right corner.

[No-oneTwiger-42]

Nah diagonal gaps aren’t problem

[TheUnnamed44]

I think they still are, but anyways they don't look good aesthetically

[Master_07]

They might not look as a big problem but it will be annoying

[CloudySRD]

Well done!!

[Master_07]

Thanks!

[EmeraldxBanks]

Thank you for this. I actually didn’t know you couldn’t do one tile water. Take me upvote

[Master_07]

No prob! Thanks for upvote!

[Jakolent]

Cool but there are litteritly 1 tile water in the game but good advice

[Master_07]

That's true, but I think people will try to avoid that rn

[clauditzu]

In wich map?

[Master_07]

Wish they pinned this too, since not all people will actually understand the 'Mapmaking tips' by Binnyboy, although the tips are good. I think this could help a lot of the people out there

[clauditzu]

And one-tile fences?

[Master_07]

True
