Hello Anonymouse,

Thanks for trying your hand at editing an ONS map! :)

Needs a bit more work....Your map is missing some packages. Specifically the meshes, textures, sounds and animations for the Badger mini tank. Any time you use custom content you need to "mylevel" it in order to make your maps independently playable. If you don't do this, people who download your map may not be able to play it...some servers may not have the files on them and therefore the map won't play online either and...it makes Admins cranky when they have to go hunting for a bunch of separate files to make a map work! ;)

Also...a word of caution...we already have a number of uber-tank maps on Spam Vikings. While I'm not saying you can't use custom vehicles or content, the majority of us (here in DW and regular players on SV)would really like to see some different styles of maps. Onslaught isn't all about getting mega Holy Shit kills in a tank and pumping up your score...it's about teamwork, tactics and skill combining to give your team the win. :)

Hmm, so I need to add custom textures to mylevel? How do I do that? (No, anything but the log commands)
And the holyshit kills won't happen with a full server.
Also, I think it is so very fun to play with custom vehicles. Just imagine the strategies and reactions with all the confused players :sevilgrin:

Read what Karma wrote again, many people play here as they don't care for the vision of ONS that is promoted by the excessive use of overpowered and unbalanced vehicles. There are other servers that shall remain nameless where that kind of thing is the norm if you're into it. For me, the type of map you've "improved" is one that is an almost instantaneous disconnect for me if I'm ever unfortunate enough to be online when it gets voted in.

I agree with Urtho. There's only one Gorz map left on the server for a reason... if people want to play with those types of vehicles they can head over to that nameless server anytime.

sheesh, DW SV players are so picky about their maps and Who makes them

Yes we are picky. We do our best to maintain a high quality server by filtering out spammy maps and maps done without care. It's one reason why the community stands strong, we don't back down or conceal truths from one and another. If there is a problem we see, we will point it out. Not only from DWs but also from SV regulars.

Yes, there are three tank maps already on SV, but even three upset several regulars. We are not going to add more tank maps but only replace them. If you are going to build a Tank map, then take a good look at the competition. You'll need to make your tank map as good or better than the ones on the server to even get a chance to replace them. I would recommend going for a legit strategy ONS map rather than the spammy type.

Considering this info, I would highly advise to check out some existing maps on the server, and see some good examples that made it on the server. If not, then at least find the courtesy to take advice from regulars that spend a lot more time on SV.
