First of all... dont abandon this.. Rock2 is my number one fav and I would LOVE to see a remake.

I personally like what you have so far, with the exception that I too think the yard should not have trees. Think of it. This is a prison... bad guys dont get trees simply cuz they may use them to escape.

Another thing... go ahead and make the ground uneven. As an engi, it is our job to work around the map 'issues' and if it turns out you cannot build in the yard, well perhaps this is a good thing. It will certainly open up the gameplay in this area huh?

And I LOVE the idea of another way to access the key as well as kudo points for touching the key! Yes yes yes! Dont be afraid to add more hidden areas or cubby holes too. As an engi we love to be on the lookout for places that we can build... and this would be fun.

Dont stop! Keep building!

Catzeyes93, it's in the official map list. The FF team is remaking it. It's beeen said many times in this thread alone.

Anyways, I was about to ask Thursday where he's been for so long, but it's a poorly resurrected dead thread.

You know what sir, I really dont care if the FF team is making it. I personally would rather see him continue to spend some time on it, get some thoughts and feedback to hone his skills if for no other reason but to have a finished map ready to use should their be a need.

I know this is on the official map list, but do we see an author? I have looked and cant find one. Do we see screenshots of the progress? Not that *I* can find. So as far as I can see, it may be on the list, but it is not being worked on. Please correct me if I am wrong and point me in the right direction if this is currently being worked on by FF. Otherwise, quit squashing someone elses ideas just because FF 'called dibs'.

First off, the FF team is making it. They are in the process of creating something called Fortress-Forever, which does not involve creating every piece of it at exactly the same time. Maybe they haven't started on it yet, but the point is they are releasing their version of it.

Secondly, the last post in this thread before it was resurrected was Jan 31. If he had one screenshot then, most people would assume that he has not pursued this. Another good clue is his post;

Mod lock thread if you desire
Most people would take that as he stopped working on it Jan 31.

Another thing, _Thursday_ has been inactive for months. He's never going to read this.

And CatzEyes93, I'm not "squashing someone elses ideas," I'm merely pointing out he's not making the map. The FF team is. Got it?

It shouldn't matter if the dev team is making the map or not. He can make any map he wants with no say so from the author.

It's not like the dev team is going to cry over the fact that someone else made rock2. Im sure they will just create their own version of rock2 and the community will decide which is better. All maps in tfc are fair game, doesn't matter if the original author gives you permission or not.

I'd say this topic has run its course.
