I've got all the maps for the original Blake Stone game already but I don't have the maps for Planet Strike.
Can someone create some maps for this game??
Thanks in advance.

I may do this one since a couple people have asked about it now. I never really cared for Planet Strike personally, because I thought the changes made to the game were for the worse. But I have the scripts to generate the maps and if people want the maps then I guess they should be done.
It may take me a while to do it though, it uses a handful of the original textures but that's about it.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the maps look like if someone decide to create the maps and post them.
Are ya up for this, DarkWolf??

I'm glad to see your work being submitted to such a wonderful website that all others with the exception of www.gamefaqs.com are without comparision.

You know, DarkWolf, inevitably someone's going to ask about Spear Of Destiny... :P

He knows how to do maps of all kinds. I have to commend him for all of his efforts with all the maps that he's posted in the past and will post in the future..
I give him 4 thumbs up if I had 4 thumbs.
Way to go with the maps, Dark Wolf..

Is the grey powerup (goggles?) supposed to be halfway up the wall, or floating in space, or is it just wrong?

I can understand that only so much can be done, since the game's simple engine doesn't really account for a ceiling - thus being able to be mapped this way at all.
Maxim, that looks pretty handy, thanks for the link. One of my monitors is always too dark (but I don't think that can be helped, as it's probably a hardware problem at this point, I always have it cranked up and it's still dark), and my new(er) LCD monitors seem really bright and I'm not sure if that's by comparison to my old monitor or if they really are too bright. Sometimes I can visibly see the difference between colours even with with RGB value difference of 1, and I'm not sure if I should be able to.

I still say the "transparent" walls are too dark. I suggest something like this to sort out your monitor's levels.
I didn't even notice them. Definitely too dark.

The original game has brighter wall textures. I suppose making the walls a little more transparent would make things better. Part of the difficulty in the original is that the floors were mainly dark and the wall textures were usually bright. It was difficult to find a balance between the two. You can see the same effect with the "cloaked" enemies in this game. When they overlap 100% floor tile they are just right, but are hard to see when they overlap a brighter wall.

Most of the time it's just too much trouble to deal with and sometimes it's not much of a pain and it makes ya get excited to work on them.

I was wondering about how far you are in the remainder of the maps and am dying to see them.
I'm only curious because I can't wait to see what they look like if ya decide to post them during the week or during the upcoming weekend.

Hopefully I can get them done this weekend, but no promises.

I can't wait to see what all the new maps look like and can't wait to download them so I can use them for the game..
I'm surprised that we got such a good response after I originally posted the first message asking about the maps..
Thank you for taking the time and effort out of your busy schedule to do these maps for the website and the many people like me that are seeking these maps, DarkWolf..
You are truly a gifted person for doing as much as ya do with doing all the maps ya've done. If they had an award for the most gifted person as a map maker, you'd be the ultimate grand master and take the top spot in the awards..
I commend all of your efforts for being a part of this site.

To get to the secret levels there are teleports on four of the main levels, but they are in order was they appear in the game.
And yeah, there are only 20 main levels. Kind of cheap considering how many AOG had. Also 18 and 19 are small, dinky little things.

I noticed that Secret 3 map and Secret 4 map were linked to Secret 2 map so I thought I'd give ya a heads up on that.
Thanks for putting the maps up on the site, Jon.
DarkWolf, ya've done more for this website in the form of donating so many valuable maps for so many games that all other video game map sites don't even come close to this one. I salute you in your map making skills. You deserve all the praise from evreyone here..
