In the last editiion of Ninteno Power, there was a 5 page article about TS2, and it highlighted some of the aspects of the map maker. Lets just say this is going to be one awsome map maker!
You can create levels from the ground up. You can even place tiles that represent walls, floors, stairs, ramps, etc...
You also get to place the lighting wherever you want, determine the colour of the lighting, and how bright you want it, as well as if you want it to be steady or flicker intermitently. :eek:
After you create the level, there is preview mode which allows you to walk through the level to make sure that it is everything you imagined it to be. Then you can add items wherever you want, even enemies that will do whatever you want (i.e. walk around aimlessly, patrol an area...). Moreover, you can also create trigger events which will cause something to happen, i.e. a player picks up an item resulting in 10 enemies appearing behind him/her.
I can't wait to pick this game up. I will pobably recreate Stack, Complex, facility, Villa, and some from Counter Strike etc... (With some hidden areas of my own to give me the upper hand
)
So what levels will you be recreating, or closely follow with the aid of the map maker?
