I agree with taplonaplo, though I hadn't looked at the instructions yet.    If you put the map in that location it will override the original map.

As for the map itself, it looks very colorful and cool in the video!  It reminds me a lot of one or two of the DLC maps.  Where did you get the green-blue background for everything?  I'm hoping it isn't a DLC background, because then I may not be able to use it since the DLC doesn't work with the Steam version...

Yeah its up to you, how you save your files!
Thank you!

awsome!

1.  Try to make it so there are at least a couple of different routes in some places, so that you might have to pull off a slightly tricky move to take a shortcut, or do something that's not as obvious.  You may already be doing this, I haven't played your map yet, only watched the video. 

2.  It looks pretty good as it is, but you might consider looking for a couple of different textures.  You can use different colors on the landing canvas cover if you want, and I'm sure some of us can help you search for decent textures for walls and floor surfaces.  To be honest, though, I used that green-and-white concrete block texture myself a lot...it IS really easy to use. 

To 1: Im working on shortcuts, at least I added 4 new shortcuts, they aren't very hard to do..its not as easy as I thought to make good alternativ routes.. Well, I try to make hard shortcuts, that you not see in the first runtrough.
Funny, that Im already finished with the next big building.  But I dont know if it would be good, to make another alpha (or beta) version out for download yet, so it seems to, that I want to make as fast as I can a bad level or something...

To 2: I love this textures were you can see the invidual bricks.
I can change the colour of these textures, so I can coulour the objects different. But at first I wantedt to colour all the same (springboards red, walls orange etc.)
And I must learn how I can make shadows, so the map looks better!
I didnt thought about the covermats. A good idea!

But thanks for your feedback. It helps a lot!

When I want to make alternate routes I have no idea what i could do, but at least I have an idea..well not very good ideas!
Thanks for explaining!

The only problem is that it's ugly. Sorry, don't take it for you The path and the challenge are great, but really, it's horrible to look. The brown blocks are breaking everything...

Try to make something more artistic, good looking. Sometimes in the game you stop and look around because it's beautiful. I want to do that in a custom map too.

I don't think he was trying to be mean...if you watch the youtube video, several of the vertical walls look brown.  The red colors look okay, but the brown walls aren't a very nice color.  Making them white, black, or blue could be better.  Or, you might even change the background color from the light green to something else.  If anyone else is good with color, please give suggestions! 

If I have time in a day or so, I will try to look at it.  There should be a relatively way to change the color of a material, and you might enjoy learning how.    If you can't find a material that's already in the package manger that has a color you like, you can look on my website in the links section...there should be a link to the Unreal Engine 3 site for doing Material Instance stuff.  That should allow you to make and modify materials with whatever colors you want, though it does take a tiny bit more work. 

I released the map, because I didnt worked anymore with it and maybe someon wants to play it.
