Theres no Screeshots, but if someone post some for me... lol  8)

This map was made only for tests, do not put it in your game installation, if you wanna see the map, open the file with 2.5 "ArmyOps.exe". if you don't know how, don't try  ::) or ask someone else

I was going to threadcrap and say it's another noob map but I looked at it more and you have fog, viewpoints and an objective. Things that most noobs don't bother with.

I'll read/watch some AA Editor tuts, because I'm far from editor's full potential. maybe one day I'll come here and release a decent map, maybe... ::)

I made this map copying & renaming the 2.8.5 packages to match with 2.5 packs (UTPT to browse 2.5 files and find the correct package for each resource) and then converted the map with Eliz 2.8.5 converter.

for those who do not know, only packages with "AA2" in its name should be used for a 2.5 map, "AAO" packs won't exist in 2.5.

did you guys asked other mappers to make/try something for 2.5?
what about a map contest lol ?(not now i know..)

Nice approach, btw there's some newer material in the AA2 packages too, but if you stick to basic materials you don't really have to worry. That's a small map too so you also have a very small amount of materials being used. If you want a tip, you can use PlayerBlock collisions to shape they way you want something to be walked on/around, e.g. a small object laying on the floor as much as a chair or a table (you can even ease the collision by avoiding chances of getting stuck, or either just making it easier to walk on).
