For the first time in over five years we have had no new additions to the maps in FETO. Today I am proud to announce that we have figured out how to add maps to the game and are now taking submissions for new ones. Below will be a list of guidelines that have to be followed for map submissions.
When submitting maps, you will have to submit the following:
- A downloadable png or gif file containing said map
- A "text" version of the map (reference here for what goes in the txt file) as well as starting positions!
- For map dimensions, no larger than 36 tiles wide, and 40 tiles tall (there are a few outliers, bit this is general)
- Indicators for player/team starting positions, number of players/teams/units per team as well as tiles for Assault/Defense
- Also think about balance, opposing teams should start at least 16 spaces away from one another (unless gimmick maps like Gauntlet)
- Only submit a grid IF AND ONLY IF you submit a map w/o one
An example of a correct submission:
Map Name: Song of the Day Sparrow [2P]

Text Version of the Map
Code:
8,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,8;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1;
8,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,8;
Starting positions
Code:
{1|1,2;1,3;1,4;1,5;1,6;1,7;1,8;2,5;}
{2|28,2;28,3;28,4;28,5;28,6;28,7;28,8;27,5;}
1 being orange, 2 being blue and so on~
That's the general, happy mapping~
