i will ever try to keep this topic going guys! we should discuss which new maps are suitable for efreeze. we have done custom map parties in the past and they were well attended.

we should give suggestions, test them (with at least 8-10 players for "real" conditions) and then vote on them. we could then compile an "efreeze map pack" which can be included in the new mod for downloading + give a direct link for this map-pack on our websites.

the crucial thing is that people dont say "no" to a map just because they suck on it for maps must be learned and played some time of course - especially new big maps!

Here are some i've figured suitable for efreeze out of my big mishmash of maps in my baseq3 folder:

qxdm3 "station 52", geit3dm3 "...and when death decends", batcula, hope, monkshaven (geit, hope and monkshaven are bigger maps)

now it's your turn! monkey mentioned osp maps (they are in a pack available - can they be seperated?) which ones you mean there?

some new maps would be great, although they cant be that big. Under 2MB is a suitable size i thinks.

I meant big in terms of map-size. for example qxdm3 is 5mb but is the perfect midsize map, actually the best for efreeze of all those. monkshaven is under 2mb but a huge map! huge maps are harder to learn as said, but we need big maps rather more than small ones.

5+ I like also very much! and more easy to learn ;>

Keep up teh work Abz : )

---> can somebody make a server with them for testing? (pm me)

additional maps:

vineyard, q3arc1, t8dm5, pro-q3tourney7 (map of a final with fatality during quake live cup), platform6 (snipermap, could be fun), and deffo: osp map pack! dm3, 4, 5, 8, 12 i find nice.

Here some exclusive screenshots from the maps

and last but not least t8dm5:

---> server for testing needed! ;>

You should ask weed clan, they are loving custom maps

LOL XT had most of those maps running for a while, needless to say that no one actually played them... plus there are some maps that are to complex for efreeze.

BUT!!! If we force everyone on every server to get the new maps then well... they'll just have to play them or leave cauz at a given point people will have to play them.

P.S.: i loved t8dm5

yes code, thx! thats what i meant! not every map is suitable for efreeze, but i alone wandering in those maps cant decide this. rather test many more maps to get a good pack of maybe 10-15 new maps to compile to a pack! but getting them to download is the difficult thing + not voting them away everytime they come up - thats why i suggested "include them into new efreeze" so everybody MUST dl them with the mod!

in my opinion all clans have reached a point where only little differences decide over victory. new maps mean new challenges! it will be far more interesting this way! it's getting so dull playing only dm2-7 1000000000000000times per hour/day/week/month/year.

we must get the community to believe (and i do) that playing on new maps without knowing all spawns right away - is real skill!

F1

Who can create a server with the maps ???

if these maps are agreed, someone could make a cocktail map download so those who doesnt have the maps can download them quick instead of using precious playing time on downloading new and fun maps!

: o

i love custom maps, but they are always very large maps.



if we can find some smaller custom maps, i think that will be much better. Even if you did compile the maps into the eFreeze mod, that could be a downside.. making the mod to big for new people to download. I personally wouldn't want to wait hours just to play a new mod.

Today i did 2 things:

1. I Ice-Skated on some nice lake, first time of year with real ice! Last winter we had no ice at all.

2. I learned that Arch Enemy is a swedish band! ( and yes, that hot chick singing is german, but almost the same

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NizPNmUjeDU&feature=related : )

size is in our age not a problem, come on... what is 100mb? there are also smaller maps. servers/websites of clans should be used to give these maps in advance/always to people who wanna download.

i havent heard any map suggestions from anyone else, you must have come across 1-2 maps that are nice, no?

monkey ---> so good for you! ye arch enemy is nice hard, comment on the maps...

ty Abz, and yes, I find the following maps butt-ugly:  

ospdm12, ospdm3, ospdm5.

ye... thx u2! @ all give us some suggestions, cause afterwards I don't wanna hear "oh i dont like this map" while he wasn't there for testing or didnt come up with suggestions himself. I will hear it anyway, but I wanna keep it to a bare minimum...

geit3dm3 (...and when death decends)

ospdm2 (batcula):

platform6:

q3arc1 (Lune-Base):

vineyard:

for now all I had in mind  ;>

New maps are good idea.
But maybe let's collect only 5-6 maps, give time to learn them, and add pack of 5-6 maps suitable for playing 5v5 to map list on FN.
I propose some voting or smth.

Not bad the movie by dev...

We can see in the last the map "batcula" this is a nice map for custom maps... (sinik)

---> see above

yes kawa, a testing with a server and then voting on them. play every map like 10 minutes, and then decide afterwards. I'm with you on not too many, but i prefer taking the map when close to or undecided then not. 10 maps maX! leaders of clans should be present at testing so players can go to them for complaining more suggestions?

I just tested these maps except osp maps and t8dm5 (couldn't find it in 2 mins ;p). And only one is very nice: pro-q3tourney7. 5+ can be, too.
Rest of them=biiiiiig and only corridors. They are very hard to remember. Look nice but are too big.
We have to find more interesting maps I will give some names.

Veinyard is a small defrag map, nothing interesting in efreeze imo.

We already tried to add new maps, bah ppl just go on voting dm3/dm6/dm17, noobs!

Even when a pak0 good 1vs1 map is coming (like tourney4) =/

thx psy and kawa....

qxdm3, hope, t8dm5, pro-q3tourney7, q3arc1, 5+ and the osp-mappack (where batcula is included as dm2) should be on discussion. geit3dm3 is really too complicated maybe, monkshaven is really big. and not all maps of the osp pack fit imo. but it would be more clever to get the whole pack, no?

Can u give link to osp mappack?

http://www.mediavida.com/vertema.php?fid=42&tid=309889

 

just search cpma or osp pack, (coz on cmpa downloader, there is osp maps too) better download osp pack, "mapas incluidos"

here's a good link (thx to psy!) for new maps, if you have some time left over, get some, test & report here! http://lvlworld.com/#c=m8&d=28%20Nov%202008&m=All

gl & hf!

already copied that among some others: 2sweet. dk_ib, drum, lobby, auh3dm1, 2, bal3dm2, d3xf1, devdm3, ik3dm1, map-13ground_xt, map-casablanca, map-spwn3dm1, map_monsoon, map_wvwq3dm7, mg_final, qsc_tourney5pro, Qydm8, shortcircuit, tig_den, weird_wood and zl3tourney1

(a mappack from that site is included in those: "lvl-pack ...the cream of the top". can be found among section "top maps". haven't tested them yet, so no fear there are too many might find some cool ones though...

Me (L) tourney4, IMO it's a great map for quick eFreeze rounds (just like dm4, dm5).
If I remember it well, there used to be a custom map server around. Empty nearly all the time though...
Maybe it's because 75% of the community has an IQ equal to that of a bathroom towel. Just like our 'forced' move to 1.32, they just won't change.. It's vermin!

I suggest you try custom maps again, and announce the download place in the server welcome message

Hello,

I run a server for freezedt over at NewYork and figured I'd suggest 2 great maps for you folks.

I have these playing as much as the good default maps now, don't have any complaints. Both good for matches too.

storm3tourney1

http://www.nlnoluck.com/download/downloadsection/storm3tourney1.pk3

jaxdm8

http://www.nlnoluck.com/download/downloadsection/jaxdm8.pk3

also for freezedt, we have pro-q3tourney7 in rotation.. great for matches but do get a couple nextmap votes on public games.

:] dis

 

thx for the hints dis!

jaxdm8 we have on fn already, i find it hard for clanwars though because of much spawn-raping.

storm3tourney1 is "GLoom"?! yeah i like that map too, should be introduced!

pro-q3tourney7  isnt that map on quake live too? i suggested that too because as dis i find it a good new map for cw ect.

t7 is the qlive map indeed. and it really owns in wars . (but i suggested it like 5 times already xD + ospdm1 + fr3dm1)
