My first map that I started a long time ago but never really took the time to complete. The map is not completely symmetrical but I have tried to make both sides have similar paths, I did this to improve the look of the map. Hopefully neither side should have any obvious advantage. The map is still a work in progress so constructive criticism and suggestions would be appreciated.

Stripping out the sprites and resizing them was a complete nightmare..... I'm fairly happy with the outcome so its over to you guys to test it out and give the feedback, enjoy!

Seems like the map is a server killer due to unoptimized collision borders around every tile arrgh hopefully I can get it fixed and have some hair left at the end.

Be careful around the bases......

Ok optimization finished hopefully works better now!

Oh nice thanks didn't know about that site.

Hopefully the update should be done today and be better optimized as a result. For those that care I used "create Geom" to place every 16x16 pixel tile which also gave each tile its own red collision border on 4 sides. Times this by probably over a thousand tiles that equals a lot of unnecessary load. Since I'm new to the map making process I assumed (and hoped!) that by compiling the map the editor would somehow take care of this optimization by itself. Seems I was wrong!

So now I've used a screenshot of the old map cut into large sections and reimported via "import large png" feature on the editor. As a result the collision borders are much more optimized and hopefully the map will run better on servers as a result.

Failing this i'll have to pull some shenanigans like reducing the map size (6000x1600 currently) or fiddling with the backgrounds but hopefully it wont come to that!

Map updated and completely redone phew, hopefully no more problems just need to get it uploaded to a server and tested!

-------------
Reeslo (legend!) kindly uploaded the new updated map to his server and after a couple of tries the map works fine optimization wise (thank god!) although upon changing to the map I was dc/d each time which is strange! Anyhow it works and that's what counts.

Any balance or suggestions etc post here
