I've been wanting to make this one map for awhile, only problem is that I can't make it look clean
by clean I mean that it looks nice, not just a bunch of random things,even if it isn't a bunch of random things it still doesn't look clean
any help is appreciated

This is very, very vague. Could you post a screenshot of your current map? Is it melee or UMS? How much vision do players have? It helps to know what your problem actually is.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

be less vague or this is locked. Did you want this in UMS MMA, or T&I? Depending on the question, it could be either.

I usually make maps clean by only allowing players to see what they have to see.

General tips-
  • Keep all selectable options in a compact area. Use a selection method that can be used for many (ideally all) purposes.
  • Give vision only where needed and try to keep the minimap from showing unnecessary things to reduce clutter on it.
  • If you use repeating rectangular tiles to outline an option zone make them dark to make them less distracting.
  • Keep a consistent color theme; don't name units multi-many colors.
  • Name all units; don't leave them unchanged unless you're making an campaign.

Your description is waaaay toooo vague. If you are referring to aesthetics and professionalism, check out this thread.

For now, this topic is locked. If you want to edit your first post to explain yourself better, PM me or anyone else moderating this forum the edit and your topic will be re-opened.
