I don't take care of bootcamp, so I can't say much about the way they chose to do their reviews - however, no matter the category if someone PMs us and ask for details about their maps, we should answer them. So if you want details about why your map was rejected, you can PM a bootcamp MapCrew, ask nicely and.... you'll have your answer. I'll add that asking directly to someone what's wrong with your map will probably have you a better and more detailed feedback that through general reviews.

Hey mapcrew (or only p3crew), the column of depermed maps in the maps perm update thread is very confusing, you could put a division between each update in the thread or just archive that many maps that were depermed at once. Everyone has already seen that and no one has memorized all of them to the point of noticing, in the middle of so many maps, when another one is added.
Look!

Another: Answer the reports in the P3+ Maps Report Thread with a new post instead of editing the user's post. It doesn't appear anywhere that the post was edited with a reply and we need to check it, which is already not very nice but it gets worse when the post is already on other pages of the thread and we need to search for it to check. When a new post is created its easier for us to realize the answer and to see it. Doing this won't be too much work too.

Hello map crew (specifically the p10 / p24 crew) i wanted to ask you if we are allowed to make maps larger than L=800 in p24 category, given that p24 maps has 2 shaman and having a bit more of space will certainly help us mapmakers to do morehttps://assets.grammarly.com/emoji/v1/261d.svg innovating maps and with new concepts, It will be a challenge to us balance the map in terms of gameplay to make it fair (not so hard or easy for shaman and mice) but i think it worth a shot!

Since browser version is not playable, it's only possible to play on standalone and steam version now and it's always fullscreen in this way, there is no pc with 1:2 (400/800) screen ratio, most of them has 16:9 and it makes possible to see offscreen in scrolling maps too. That should not be a huge problem i think

Hello! While there is technically no rule against scrolling maps in Survivor, there are a few major concerns about the concept that would make it extremely difficult to implement.

1) "Offscreen" Players.
Since not all people are able to see beyond the 800px * 400px display screen, those who are able to zoom out are given an advantage as they can see (and spawn) objects out of the official visual range. In addition, if the map is long enough, players on opposite ends of the map will not be able to see each other. For example, if a player is on the leftmost side of the map and the shaman is on the rightmost side, the shaman will not be able to target the player as they do not know where they are. Mice might abuse this to their advantage and move to the opposite end in order to survive longer. Furthermore, cannons can be spawned in "offscreen" areas, and players will have the disadvantage of not being able to see the object spawn, shortening their reaction time.

2) P24 Maps with Single Shamans
One of the key requirements for P24 maps is that they are able to be completed by a single shaman, in the case that the other shaman is AFK or dies early. Scroll maps may have too much space for a single shaman to viably cover. Shamans may also be forced to constantly move from one platform to the other, in order to target where the players are at- the time spent travelling across the map reduces the amount of time shamans have to spawn cannons, which makes it easier for mice to survive Mapmakers must also consider the ability of new shamans, who may not have the skill to spawn and move at the same time, and who may die easily as they are not familiar with moving around smoothly.

TLDR; Yes, you can make maps longer than 800px, but there are a lot of difficulties with this concept and it is extremely rare that it will work out.

I'd take a screenshot of the vanilla map, place grounds in relative spots, then place a screenshot of my version on top of it, making a bunch of tweaks until it was exact.

In addition to this post, unless you're aware of the tool that might help to do this tedious work, I'd recommend you Map Pad tool, which can be downloaded by this link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78185832/MapPad_0.68.zip

Just open a screenshot (800x400 px) and put it as an underlay and copy obstacles.



Another option, visit [url]http://www.transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Map[needednumberhere][/url], there're XML's of some maps at this site.
