Map request

Sat May 23, 2009 10:53 pm

I'd like to see the ons map Foundry get on the server, the version I have locally is Foundry-Beta3

A quick look through this thread makes me wonder if v3 or v4 might be supperior to v5 - http://ut2004.titaninternet.co.uk/forum ... 090&page=5

In any case it would be fun to add to the mix.

I have beta3 also. It wouldn't be bad to have another NV map on the roster.

Is there a single place to find and download all these maps? I've always wanted to see if I could find them to explore them during downtime so I'm not going into the SpamVikings server blind on random maps.

Filefront used to have a bunch to my recollection, but that could be years gone for all I know.

I have a map request too, DG-Meadowland. It's a pretty map with lots to offer with 26-28 players. I agree with the foundry move too, its nice from what I remember.

In my spare time ::cough cough:: maps from Spam Vikings will be available on our Death Warrant FileFront account (maps for Monster Mash are already living there!). With FileFront's demise and resurrection...not to mention other time eating factors on my planet, I haven't gotten them up there just yet! ;) I'll post a notice when they're available.

I have a Beta4 version of ONS-Foundry...it's been put back into rotation.

As for DG-Meadowland...it used to be on SV...don't remember why it was removed/rotated out...I'm about to go have a look at it again and see if anything jogs my memory.

Cheers!

Meadowland had performance issues for many players I believe. It's from a map author that did maps as more of a portfolio enhancement than from the standpoint of player enjoyment so he didn't worry about little niggling issues such as optimizations when it came to both FPS and server load. He got rather defensive and dismissive as I recall when his rather extreme texture sizes were pointed out to him. From a gameplay standpoint it's a very large map, with quite a bit of travel time between nodes which some people had problems with.
