I have my MapPack up for public download.  It is beta 1 because I would like some input for final tweaking (like if they are ordered by difficulty, in your opinion, etc.)  Please send feedback to me at darkwolf9@hotmail.com I would appreciate it.  Just read the Readme.txt (enclosed in the zip) if you need help in installing this pack.

Thanks,  DarkWolfNine

You can Download it here (7k in size): http://www.phantomtech.info/pontifex_dwn.zip (http://www.phantomtech.info/pontifex_dwn.zip)

Hey, the levels look great! Keep up the good work! One thing though, you might want to add a message at the end of the levels to "Reward" users who finish it. In case you don't already know, you just write the message as a text file, and save it under the name dwn.txt, where dwn would be the name of your map pack. Once again, great job. :)

Thanks Kvinge.

I appreciate your feedback.  Look forward to the final version soon, (some tweaks, and two of them complete make-overs, not to mention a possible texture pack to go with it. =) )

I will through in a text file at the end, thanks for the reminder.  

Depending on its success, I might start work soon on another MapPack, as difficult (yet possible) as I can make them.  

Again, Thanks.

Just dowloaded pack, but one quick question. How hard do you think they are? Harder than originals, harder that map pack 1?

Pretty good levels. Well done!
Comments:
- The budget for level 8 is too high. I suggest about �.
- Levels 4 and 11 are practically just repetitions of other levels (2 & 3), I say you should modify them.
- Maybe switch levels 13 and 14, so that the huge levels come last.
- I hate the one-anchor levels, too :)

Kvinge: On average, I'd put them between the originals and the Map Pack 1.

P.S. nice .info domain there :)

Kvinge,
I think that they are harder than the original 32 levels.  I started my MapPack before the new version came out the the next levels, and I told myself that I would wait to play them until I released mine.

Gray,
Thank you for your input, I will definately make some changes for the better I am sure.  I didn't want to make my levels seem too impossible, but then again, that seems to be what people are wanting, so maybe if I start a MapPack sequel, I will make them way tougher, (although, the last couple are pretty difficult)  The .info domain I just registered last week. It is gonna be my play around domain, I will have a website up on it soon, thanks for the compliment.  And on a final note, You have my permission to add them to www.bridgebuilder-game.com. (I even sent an email w/ the link to it to the levels email there, at the same time as posting it here. Since that is where I first got addicted to this. LOL)

Thanks for the input guys. I hope these will give you at least 20 more minutes of fun, heh.

Do you have a post limit before you can use your custom avatar?  I uploaded it just fine, and I don't get the CUSTOM option in the drop-down.

The name is case-sensitive.  You titled the file darkwolf9.gif instead of Darkwolf9.gif.  I renamed it for you and you should have the custom option now :)
