New Maps

[Squid56]

What's the general consensus from our server admins about dropping new maps into rotation? I know the official SDK hasn't been released, but I've seen at least 3 viable candidates that I've liked or would like to try with more players than just me Specifically, 2 of the 3 maps are CTF maps, which I'd like to see more of, since 2Fort is starting to wear out for me. Anyway, I'm really just curious, not like OMGWEGOTS2HAVMAPSNOW!!11!

Where do you find these new maps? Curious to check them out myself.

Here is a general list of custom maps that are available:

My personal favorite would have to be [link=http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/35468]ctf_stronghold_b1[/link] by none other than Jake Parlay, the creator of dod_tunisia for Day of Defeat: Source.

So far I've downloaded:

[link=http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/34520?1192502037]cp_lazytown[/link] - I had fun, but lots of people don't like it
[link=http://www.vilepickle.com/map/cp_castle_b1.zip]cp_castle_b1[/link] - this one looks stellar, I'd like to see how it plays
[link=http://www.jparlay.com/ctf_stronghold_b5.rar]ctf_stronghold_b5[/link] - yup, up to beta 5 now
[link=http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/35072]ctf_mach2[/link] - very cramped, but nice map flow, could be very intense

I've got them downloaded, I could offer them up.

Agreed.

 

[Blindsfell]

yea definately

 

[Deathscythe]

a bit off topic but i think these skins for the scouts looks really cool [link=hyperlink url]http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/31427[/link] the shirts are darker and not crazy bright one thing that i dont like about them are the camo pants would be better normal grey. I also saw a white version of the demo looked pretty good too but i like the black version better

back on topic but I hope that some people remake some of the old maps from tfc as well !

Why don't we start a new server an if not, just make the 2fort server into a custom map server

 

[Deathscythe]

the third test server could possibly be the custom maps with the reg maps but the third is test server

 

[hmind]

I think we should also get together all the map makers we have in this clan and make our own map aswell

Custom maps will not happen until the mappers learn to optimize the maps. Alot of these maps would kill our server resources.

Good call, Kendle. They look pretty cool but many of them have unoptimized areas that really put a strain on fps and cpu load.

I would definately like to see some custom maps in our rotation.

I remember back in the Beta, I played Lazytown. We were playing that map for two hours, both teams in a stalemate. We went foward and captured the point, and then we would lose it again. Finally, the server admin got tired of the map and switched maps. It was the best two hours of TF2 I've ever played. Unfortunatly that map was very laggy... I was getting like 10-30 FPS.
