Powerups: I put a few weapon power ups
between the spawn points: 4
each
m curtain, at-stabber, and shadower. There are also
7
chainguns and a few mortars and hornets. If you want
more,
and you likely will, build an armoury. The weapons
don’t
respawn.
Description: You have three geysers and a scrap field.
Each opponent
has
the same. There are also some uncontrolled geysers
that
you might want to use to put your factory closer to
the
action. A gun tower half way to the next base could
help,
but don't expect it to last. Also, try building
silos.
That scrap isn't too plentiful, and it's well
scattered.
Don't expect to build 10 thunderbolts and storm
the
enemy base right off. This revision has more passes to
the
middle of the map, and more scrap and powerups located
there.
BZFRAC made by Derek Sorensen
(bz@bumblbee.demon.co.uk)
made the first version of this
map
much easier and faster to make and ensured that it was
balanced.
The revision was done just with BZone. The map
was
originally multst70, but I used a homemade visual
basic
text editor to change the bzn file. It works. HEdit
was
used to change the .bzn file from mrscircl to mrscirc1,
and
to replace some pylons with powerups. I thought that
would
be easier than using custom b_*.odf files.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.
1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your
BattleZone\addon directory (folder).
2) Do not modify any of the files in any way! The map will lose
multiplayer compatability.
3) Run mrscirc1.bat. This will add the line to your netmis.txt
Next time
you play multiplayer, you should see "DHR’s Mars Circles
v1.1" as one of
the available strategy maps. If you have problems installing the
map,
make sure you have the following files in your Battlezone\addon
directory
(folder): mrscirc1.bzn mrscirc1.trn mrscirc1.mat mrscirc1.lgt
mrscirc1.hgt mrscirc1.bmp mrscirc1.txt mrscirc1.des mrscirc1.mad
