Melee

I love the new minimap and connections, and the title stands out much more now. I like the new connections, but I can see individual pixels at the ends of each line. I think what CBT said about fading them would be a good idea.

I don't like the new connection lines. I feel like they stand out too much.
Look at Panama.
They are clearly there but not distracting from the look of the map.
Just my opinion. Nice minimap.
Edit: Lol, I tried to put a picture in there.

Just surround the link with [ img ] [ /img ] tags. No spaces

I really dislike the panama connections - try Med States.

Okay, I remade the ancient style mini map, added cbt711's recommended texture, changed the background and did new connection lines. See Melee 10.
Any feedback?

Now this looks much better. I love the background colors. The connections are much better, as they don't stand too much while being clear. My only concern is that maybe the signature font doesn't fit the map, but that's not important if it just bothers me

PS. Another concern... the texture in Leigh, Ney, Sted barely stands out in comparison to the rest of the map... could you try and make it more visible?

Changed the signature and position, retouched some effects on mini map & added more texture to Leigh, Ney & Sted.

Can I be the first to say: This is incredible! Absolutely amazing! The background and minimap make this map look extraordinary! The new connections are flawless. I love the graphics.

See I told you I wasn't worried about it!! Freaking great. Might have to fade the sig and connection lines (just make slightly transparent) some but I love it

Everyone let's summon Fendi!

The only thing I see a little weak is the title. I see it too plain for the map, and the color may need a bit of yellow, more like the minimap? But still . Awesome one. It's just I'm too picky.

PS. I need you cbt and aero to help me learn some of this thing... Never seem able to find nice textures for my maps!

Step 1 google image metallic texture background
Step 2 google image Cloud texture background
Step 3 google image Parchment paper background
Step 4 Past ALL of them on a colored background one at a time
Step 5. PLAY! transparent, merge, dodge burn and 20% opaque is my go to. It also helps to play with contrast and brightness of the textures to balance them with the map. But I usually have 3 or 4 layered and then merged for the truly custom design no one else would have.

Summoning Fendi is such a chore. Who's got the goat? Don't forget the incense this time, last time she ate a noob because there was no incense and we only have so many noobs left. And for god sake cbt keep the loincloth ON during the ceremonial dance. That amount of floppage is unseemly.

This map is good, there's no doubt about it. But there are a few things that I would like to mention..

The connection-lines are still standing out a little, maybe you could lower their opacity just a tad.

The mini-map..it is awesome and very well done but it is bothering me because its style is so different from the map itself, it just..doesn't fit. If you ever create a map with paper background then I would love to see a mini-map like this one but right now it's not working out for me.

I don't have much to say other than great work, simplicity is really looking good on this map.

I kinda think the mini map is my favorite part. BUT... I don't own the site sooooo

(But I did say "Might have to fade the sig and connection lines (just make slightly transparent) some but I love it " so Fendi and I agree there)

I agree on the minimap, it's awesome, but seems weird in perspective. Apart from that some of the region colors look alot like the minimap background. Brown (and yellow) on a brown background gives you guaranteed problems
