I don't get it. Who need more maps when everyone playing mostly Mutrah, Fallujah etc?

Steps to implement:
1. Heightmap generator. Simple raw greyscale image.
2. Color, lowdetail, detail texture maps. Bunch of dds files + need to reverse materials struct.
3. OG\UG generator needs OG materials struct reversed, otherwise same rgb bunch of dds.
4. Roads generator, need to edit heightmap, textures, and compile dem roads to roadmeshes.
5. Statics generator - format is known, only thing needed is bunch of templates for blocks(partially already in PR for our mappers, caches script)
6. GPO generator - usually being done by meatbags, dont need a script here.

Need more python coders as always.

1. Heightmap generator. Simple raw greyscale image.
2. Randomly choose one of three pre-made texture maps. Desert, grass or rock environments.
3. OG is randomized. UG is always one of three pre-mades. The pre-mades match one of the three above environments.
4. No roads.
5. No statics.
6. What is GPO?

GPO is gameplay objects, defines flag locations sizes, assets spawn points, player spawnpoints and a bunch of other stuff.

Ah, yes. There is one with old maps. There is one server using it and it's empty because nobody download that.

Why the mappack isn't forced to download..? Maybe then more people would play the mappack maps

Its a lot of extra gigs.

It's 2017. Don't most people (outside the US) have fiber with unlimited data?

A big portion of the PR players that don't live in NA or EU are from third world countries, they have potato computers and internet...

Soo, that's the only reason? What a shame.

No it isn't.

Mappacks and other additional stuff for PR should be in Download section. I probably never know about this if someone wouldn't mention it in random thread. Heck, there are a lot of other useful stuff "hidden" somewhere in the forum.

It's tough to learn to make maps. Every once in awhile I make a push at it but between the bugs and the research it's not surprising that there's very few people who can actually make maps.

100% agree with this, it can be so annoying to find GEM, map packs and HD text on the forums.
Even now I don't know where the map packs are, it is a hit or miss with the search function and for a new player they'll have no idea whatsoever of where to get them, 75% of the time I'm reccomending this game a player doesn't know where the game is even installed.

Not exactly the few people but it takes a lot of background knowledge of how maps should be gameplay wise, coupled with knowledge of the location(if it's in a place on earth etc). From there it is bugs with the editor and what i'm trying to say is basically that everyone can do it, but it can be quite tedious sometimes.

There is plenty of new stuff, but not enough initiative from testers or testers itself.
You can apply to become tester here, that would actually be helpful.

- mapper

QuickLoad demands moar testers!

im thinking some of the restrictions are too strict so there aren't as many testers

I'd enjoy more maps centered around a more mountainous Afghanistan. Lashkar valley does it well with its downhill and uphill firefights, choke points, numerous cave systems.

I actually agree with this, along with Korengal(that map is a bit small though)

However, the community has hated both for all of eternity.

I hate lashkar and korengal, maybe the Taliban should get some kind of boost in terms of climbing. All the hills are so annoying when trying to get behind enemy lines.

Sbeneh is a really nice map in my opinion. I think most of the new maps are kinda too small. For example Falklands or this island map where British forces fight against Russians.

Best type of maps.Every game is different.
