Ok here's my take on Victoria Crater. Has working metal spots now, also all of the ramps are really passable by bots, which wasn't the case in the old version.

I made the metalmap corner vs corner, this seems a lot more interesting than the old east vs west, in which games were often over really fast since the flanks were so precarious. Also added a couple of extra ramps to southwest.

I didn't end up adding visible metal textures, the metalmap is quite straightforward so there's not an immense need, and I wanted to keep the map's texture original.

I replaced the older version with this in official maps. Let's see how it plays out.

Yes, it's not the same map. Imo Victoria Crater always was too much about the sides and too little about the crater, so this version fixes it. If the nostalgy factor in the old layout is too great or stuff, feel free to roll back to the older one.

Let's compare metal amounts:

Old version:

40 * 1,8 spot = 72
~18 * 0,87 mex at mid = 15,66
Total 87,66

New: 57 * 1,5 spot = 85,5 total

So it's pretty much the same.

I prefer the layout of the previous one. Just make the mex spots smaller and break up the middle into many spots.

You can just write a config. Although then the metalmap isn't quite as visible.

I uploaded a version with the old-style metalmap (and a built-in metalconfig for ZK) and fixed slopes here http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/victoria-crater-v2

But for some reason, I can't get it to work with springie, even if it works locally and in springlobby.
