Agressive Alleys reskin - Ancient Alleys

So sometime in 2005, Salchicha started to reskin Agressive Alleys. Something went wrong and he abandoned it. Well, he recently figured it out the problem and thought to finally release it. So, I'm posting because I just put the finishing touches on it, and here it is:

Thanks for the help Jim! The post looks great.

Bean, thanks for the push.

It's true, I started this in 2005 and it was a real bear to get under control. The original author didn't really use the grid system and it caused a number of issues to crop up. I got a bit frustrated and abandoned it. I was looking through some old maps and saw this one. I showed it to Bean and he urged me to keep working on it. As always, Jim put the finishing touches on it and voila.

I hope you all enjoy the change of view.

I just found out the hard way that this map is crashing the server. So you may not see it just yet. Give it a few days.

A fresh look to a familiar playground. I'm so excited to play this. Great job!

It appears that I'm going to have to build this one over from scratch. Sigh, so MANY hours wasted. I think this is the reason I abandoned it so long ago.

I'll give it a shot if there is interest, if not, I'll continue working on new stuff.

Better to try and fail than to never try at all. Looks great btw.

I say work on the new stuff, Sal.

And if anyone is interested, you can at least download this and play it solo just to see it.

Yeah it looks nice for sure, but it's essentially the same layout of an incredibly overplayed map. When Alleys came up people would also leave, as it usually results in a low-scoring campfest. To each his own I guess, though working on new stuff may be more of a worthwhile endeavor. On another note, may I ask what's wrong with it? It seems to look and play fine in instant action.

I hear you about the map being overplayed. Again, I started this in 2005. I was probably my first "I wonder if I can?" map.

I'll continue working on new stuff then.

Badasp, we don't know what is wrong with it. It just crashes the server. Nothing is missing. Odd and frustrating.

Thanks the nice words y'all!
