hey all just out of intrest what would you think of different maps??? new flavor??? we can open a custom maps server, with maps that we all want, and we can do monthly updates or what is needed:) so if you like the idea of a custom maps server and new maps, and new flavor, keep an eye out for some intresting maps that you see that are of intrest or would like to play and try posting them on here, lets see what we can come up with.... |

Yes! I fully support this idea and we can dedicate one Q3 server just for maps YOU would like to play. We can mix and rotate FFA/CTF/TDM/Duel and update main pack with new maps or delete some map we don't want anymore. This is for all interested in new and good maps, no matter what size. Today downloads are fast and i think we can include all the best maps for Q3! |

Good idea. BabYGrL
New maps it is the new skills, new opportunities, an opportunity to study in new tricks. I think it it is pleasant to all. Especially if there will be one more server. :rolleyes: |

I concur! While I don't have the time to create any new maps, it'd be fun to learn, eventually. |

I'm all in favour of new or custom maps BabyGirl. What I would like to know is, what you mean by, "custom". As far as new maps, myself, dyn, and all the Admin's, have in excess of 1000+ new maps, we tested earlier. We could put a variety of those maps in a pak, so they could be downloaded, and the best picked from them. Let us know what you mean by "custom" , at your earliest convienence.

Yes we can help with maps but idea is to let people decide, even if some map may not be the best. A lot of times average looking maps turn out to be very playable and vice versa. Everyone interested can check out http://www.lvlworld.com/ and then download and test maps. When deciding keep in mind our mod is fast so maybe very small CPMA 1vs1 maps are not suited for it, but we can include any map you want. If some map turns out to be bad or non playable we can remove it at next pack update. We should update pack once per month. This is for all who want new maps so we should not worry about size too much. Tip: for best performance maybe you will want to install additional copy of q3 just for this purpose, especially if you have a lot of maps already installed. Sometimes authors forget to rename textures and change popular ones and this can affect textures in other maps. That's one of the reasons for separate install or clean dir. |

Iradeck: you can look around for maps that are of intrest to you and share them to be added, you do not have to create them just keep an eye out for what you would like to play and post the map/the site. quote dyn (We can mix and rotate FFA/CTF/TDM/Duel )(we can dedicate one Q3 server just for maps YOU would like to play) we are looking to mix and rotate FFA/CTF/TDM/Duel and put it on its own server, BUT with maps that ALL OF US would like to play, that we find and share it will put a new spin to the mix also to combine ALL IN ONE and WE ALL CAN CHOOSE THE MAPS THAT WILL BE ON THERE
and as we post more maps we can check for updates to the pack so that downloading tons of maps to your pc at once is totally unnessary
so no worries just update as needed so no same ol same ol maps just a fun, exciting new spin
for all of us to enjoy. quote dyn ( Today downloads are fast and i think we can include all the best maps for Q3!) there is no worries on anymaps if you like them and have an idea just post this will be a totally seprate server that will be dedicate just for what we want to play and put in the mix Fubar: i understand that you check out maps, but this is a chance for all of us to give you all the ideas:) quote dyn (Yes we can help with maps but idea is to let people decide, even if some map may not be the best. A lot of times average looking maps turn out to be very playable and vice versa.) Cross: there ya go, if you can post the link to thoese maps |

Cross: good idea. Hunkmegs I use is 256 and i completely forgot how important this can be, especially for those bigass CTF maps! Just something about maps -- i usually check lvlworld.com, they have 1900+ maps for Q3 and that is more or less 95% of all maps made for Q3. Sometimes you may find some very good map which is not on lvlworld.com, so it's important you also tell us where to download them. If you need login to fileplanet or others, send me PM. In case of big map packs, like 50mb+ we must be sure at least 80% of maps are cool. DrDeathaswp, nice to see map designer among us! I tried to create few maps and i know how hard it can be. We should aim to launch MAP SERVER on [size=11]April 20th![/size] |

Dyn, I have a map request. A while back, Mordock posted a ctf map that I would love to see in the rotation. It's the Simpsons map. |
