Map Testing Day!!

[Martini]

What a great idea.

Have a day when we can test out some of the less known custom maps out there. Someone could just post the links to download them before gametime.

I think it would be good for mapmakers to get some fresh ideas for maps and learn what things we like and don't like about them.

Plus it gives us an excuse to advertise the event on some other forums, possibly generating more downlaods of the mod~~~~~

Just an idea, had to write it down before I forgot.


P.S. - I am only good at coming up with ideas, even though I do not have the means to organize them!!

[Wolfmaster]

Well, the idea may be good, but I'm not sure you would get enough people to download... I mean, people don't usually download a lot of (to them) unproven maps. Maybe you should add a poll to ask people wether they would be prepared to download for such a test.

[Wolfmaster]

Well, 3 people for and 0 against so far....

i don't know realy i think the maps should be ones considerd for a map pack and none other than that.

[Wolfmaster]

I think the point here is to get some maps under attention that might be suitable for a map-pack but aren't well-known enough to have received much criticism/comments. Am I right Martini?

[mav3r1c]

I think it would be a cool idea, but I think that you should just pick a couple of maps and put them in a map pack instead of having to download each one separately.

[Wolfmaster]

Yeah, because downloading from different sources and having to open a new download every time can be rather annoying. It should be a sort of 'test map-pack'.

I don't care how it's done as long as it's done. If I have to play anymore Kubra Dam, Fushe Pass, etc... on Gloryhoundz, I'm going to die. PRMM desperately needs maps specialized for it's gameplay. The stock maps just aren't cutting it.

[Heydude235]

Give me the link i will download it

[T.Bos]

yep i will help i will do anything for this mod

(in a normal game way)

[TheRealFritz]

Heh Perhaps update the GH thread with maps you hate?

Eggman has indicated the first map pack should be ready soon. So soon you'll have some fresh maps to play with.

[Martini]

Well thank you all for the response to my first poll!!

I figured two reasons for a map testing day.

1. Test out some otherwise unknown maps with multiple players, as it kinda sucks roaming a new map by yourself.

2. Perhaps map makers could get ideas for their own maps from seeing the results of other peoples creativity. Its always good to keep an open mind when creating things, and new ideas are a good way of doing that.

3. Hey, its just something to do, and an excuse to advertise the event/mod on other forums without being accused of spamming

Black hawk hunt

PRMM desperately needs maps specialized for it's gameplay. The stock maps just aren't cutting it.

But what is its gameplay?

Anyway, of course I'd be WILLING to do map tests... Whether I actually have the time is another matter. I've also got a new map of my own I'd like to test, but its not done yet (I accidentally overdid the size of the map, lol).

Anyway, with the 1st map pack basicly done, the 2nd should start any day now (I hope? ). Then we'll have plenty of new maps to try out.

[eggman]

Should have something with a bit of structure in place along these lines within the next couple of weeks.

Just wrapping up Map Pack 1 (hopefully) this week, so that's the current focus. Will shift to this soon.
