Clan War Map Packs
Section: 1.31 Freeze World | Started by: Stema | Date: 05/01/2006 12:36

I think we need to reach a point about the use of new maps, so thats my idea:


Our goal should be to create 4 CW map packs, easy to find, to download and to install. Each map pack is simply a zip file with 5 maps inside. When u organize a clan war the challenged will chose the map pack to play with, and the war will be played only with the 5 maps in the map pack, no other maps allowed.


Now the aim should be to create 4 well balanced map packs.


As for now i see andi, soady and sari (who else?) interested in testing maps for freeze. Well i think u should find, discusing within yourselves, some maps good to be played in a war (some good for team play, some small for kickassing etc) and mix them in  map packs. Of course the owners of server will have to configure the server for a war only with the map pack the challenged team chose, so they will be forced  to play only those maps.


I think this method is intereting cos first it force ppl to download and train some new maps and second cos i think it will give us mor fun in wars, cos maybe some clans will be good in one particular map they trained more etc etc (the idea came when we played our last war with exs, they chose dm17 as last map!!!!a tourney map for a clan war, weird! we havnt ever played a war there so we lost! and that was a good tactic indeed!:))


For example:


CWMP01: dm6,dm4,dm7,dm3,dm9


CWMP02: dm6,dm2,dm13,dm17,wtf2 etc..etc...


I think the first 2 map packs should be composed mainly by standard maps, but u can chose new maps, if they worth, for the other 2 map packs: just my suggestion, dont create a map pack with all 5 new maps, cos otherwise no one will play on it during wars. Try to balance well new maps and old maps...and dont forget ppl still want dm6 in every clan war...so maybe that map should be present in every map pack.


Imho i think u 3 (andi, sari, soady + who is intersted) should test maps and decide the map packs composition. U decide and we will play with your choices.


Sounds good?


ciao, stema

love it and may even there could be a cw this year were dm6 is not played :D


 


i tyred to get my clan trained on new maps but they just wanted to stick to maps they know but ones u play a map 3/4 times u know it like the rest just need to get the clan your having a war agains to also want to play the new maps

Hey all! :p


This sounds indeed very good stema! The only thing that I'd change perhaps is consistance of the packs! perhaps 4 bigger packs? so 4 packs with 7 maps? :p


Perhaps Weed can put up a public server with all custom maps on for testing! I wrote Soady and Your*butt 2 e-mails, but haven't got any reply yet. perhaps they are busy with work, or they are on holidays...


Here's my list again (including Mari*gold maps) Please put them 0n!!!!!!!!!!!! :p :p  :p 


1. KTSDM3 = "h2so4"


2. DURDM1 = "Gotham"


3. Storm3Tourney1 = "Gloom"


4. RQM3ARENA2 = "A Cold Wind"


5. WVWQ3DM3 = "Future Base"


6. WVWQ3DM15 = "A Double DM 3"


7.  PQARENA


8. OSPDM2 = "Batcula"


9. MONKSHAVEN


10. q3dm89 


 


And Please Stema, delete 1+ and 7+ their baaaad maps :p


Andi :p :p 

Great idea Stema.. i wish i could do something more for this community like testing maps and that.. im verry interested in that.. maby you guys have a little spot free for testing etc.




Greetings 3R@S3R_NL

Well Eraser, when weed puts up this server I just demanded for, you're welcome to join and test this maps! :p See you there then...


Andi    :p  :p  :p  :p

If you give me information over when and where it is i like to test :)
I want to learn everything about efreeze mod and the commands, i know the have off the client commands and also i know something about the server commands.. I preciate it if i may join the test team :)




Greetings 3R@S3R_NL

hello all !


perhaps nice to organise a "Night new maps " , on a 40 slots server , with only 4 or 5 minute each map !    


first , put here the maps you want test  ( in .pk3 ) with a link , so all can download them , and i can put them on server 


when all maps on server and a lot of players ready with downloaded maps , i  can put here the map list server , so after each one will be able to say what are the best map !


?


 


 

Okey.. sounds cool.. the downloaded map bust be in the quake3 folder am i right..? Well i putted a downloaded map in the quake 3 folder but i wasnt able to play it.. strange.. so i just put autodownloading on ..:)




Greetings 3R@S3R_NL

Hey All!


Wow Sari - this is really a great idea in my opinion! :p :p :p   Only I would say perhaps a little more time  for each map. To get used to it! Shall I send you the maps I wanna have? Or do you have the maps on my list???  For Date - Monday evening 8pm EU time? Opinions!


@Eraser:  you must put the maps in the basqu3 folder! if you can't see it when you create a multiplayer game - try to vote for it!   :p


Andi    :p     :p  :p

Well i dont see a basqu3 folder.. i only see a baseq3 folder i shall try to do this..
And yes it works.. Ty :)

Hey Andi


Sorry for not getting back to you earlier on this... Assault sent me the following maps that I uploaded to my server 10 days ago or so.


They are:


batcula.pk3


foo3dm1.pk3


fs3dm2.pk3


hodm5.pk3


hub3aeroq3.pk3


jaxdm6.pk3


jaxdm8.pk3


nemesis.pk3


nodm9.pk3


park.pk3


plutonians.pk3


polo3dm5.pk3


q3dm89.pk3


q3matt2.pk3


saiko_tourney1a.PK3


schadctf.pk3


skytown.pk3


something.pk3


storm3tourney1.pk3


storm3tourney2.pk3


szq2dm1ish.pk3


t4tourney1.pk3


ultimate2.pk3


unitooldm4.pk3


vineyard.pk3


xcm_tricks2.pk3


 


They are not in the rotation but are available for voting, if people want to arrange a day to try some of these out then let me, soady or assault know and we can arrange it.  I think some of the maps u wanted are included, but send others to soady or me if u want them up.


 


Baity :p

Hey again! :p


Sorry for I must confuse you two! I have already sent 5 maps - maybe to your brother then! in two mails I think - perhaps you may ask him! Please put them in rotation, too - and....


as Saristian said - I think it's a very nice idea to make a new map testing night! perhaps next week!


See Ya - Please Respond :p


Andi :p :p :p

i want i want i want i want i want :)


 

Check on www.railnrebels.com for more nice tdm maps, I think "smokin" made a nice edited dm3, it's a very nice map and since most people only vote for small maps, and most people like dm3, this is a nice solution to extend the currect maptime. Getting kinda sick of the short maps because people only vote them to get a good score, big maps are fun too -.-.

Lyor (not Stijn)

Assault sent me the link to download the maps ,( i just saw it on hotmail yesterday ) and it  dont run ?then i am a little late ! 


on the other hand, it is necessary that each player have the maps downloaded before we were going to test them all together on a server !


if we want to be numerous to test the maps it still takes us a few days more to be ready !



 


 

ok andi for 7 maps instead of 5 per map pack (but we usualy play at best of 5 maps): this can icnrease the fun cos u r not sure to play the same maps in every war, ok.


The idea of map packs if to aid the main problem: ppl downloading maps. If i have to download tons of maps i get bored and i dont download anything, while if i have to download only 4-5 files (packs) probably most will do it.


As for selecting maps, well thats up to u and who want to help in that (sure eraser!! we love your help!) so u can organize some testing sessions: for sure the testers will have their hard disks full of maps! :)


ciao, stema!

maby you should just have a week of just putting on new maps coming in (date) (site) might help :D

Hey again, :p


Yes, we should have a bit more time - I was a bit too enthusiastic :p 


Well, Baity & Soady have put quite a lot of maps into their server! It would really help if there was a link where one can download them! Including my map suggestions! If Stema can make it here I can send you the maps too!  :p you make a map-pack here on 333 site frontpage! As for the list Baity has given us, I think perhaps you could choose some of them, cause they are very many maps :p


Yours andi :p :p :p

hey all..




sorry for not replying in a time because this night i was at my gf :)
Uhm.. shall we make a list of maps so we can ad that on the server for monday 20.00 hour ? .. and can someone give me a list of maps i must download for that night ?
