Ok
Here is a topic that by now, every knows that is something i have been working and testing.
my ideas and discussion of this will mostly be here or privately in lobby
I have listened to advice from those who know better and have taking the discussion here ,for the following reasons
1st I don't want to confuse any new people with new installer and new build
A new map pack would be 1 more confusing thing.
2nd I need more input on map selections {what works what is good what is bad what people like or don't like}.
It will be hard , We have many with different tastes and i know everyone wont be 100% happy when its done, but many will be . This is my goal, Pick some older maps , new maps and some that are just weird but fun {like dm vs st as a example} and that work on new build.
Goomba has volunteered to help me make a installer. So i don't have to make a instruction read me which i failed miserably with last 2 packs. I spent hours helping people explaining how to use 7 zip and find there bz folder sigh.
If you are new and don't know its very difficult and very confusing and this is not what i want to do to people make it harder to play bz i want more happy players for bz not madder confused people that are frustrated with this game .
So here is the thread
What i would like to do here, make it like a vote for my favorite map more then maps i hate .
If you like a map, tell us a brief description of its diversity, benefits or playability for your selection to be considered , a picture of the map can be added to post if you like.
Keep in mind, that obscure maps just because 2 or 3 people like them will add to the download size . What we want to do is add as many as possible.
Without creating a monster download Most of the battlegrounds maps are good ones but there are a few that are just plain to weird { like raver race as a example}so just adding battlegrounds is not a good idea it will add crappy maps no one likes, but we can pick the best of them and add them.
In the mean time before new map installer is complete, i have made a small pack of 10 maps i was testing this week its on my p in lobby and here is link
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54596041/map%20pack%201.5%20-10%20maps-.zip it has to be loaded manually like the old days extract to paste net mis lines .
these maps will be in installer so it wont be a problem adding them now they do work and are a taste of whats to come .
these are maps in the 10 pack
Battle-Arena
super colli
biggamid
earth
3rd force
mag arena
e bridges
No Limit Arena
3 Rocket Collie
P A C - M A N !
i choose these because of this criteria well liked lots of scrap out of the ordinary {like super colli bomber only map, mag arena tank only map, 3 rocket new weapon usage and tactics}
There is some others i would have like to have added , like bio metal and io . That i will try like hell to add to installer, but need help with bio metal need additional terrain files added don't no where or which ones and io i cant find at all on web its in 1.4 but cant isolate just those files .
the following maps are on my wish list if they work{ i will be testing them to see this week}
nomad - lots of scrap , cool terrain , lava pits, big map{this map loads but has a size issue}needs work.
green eye - a green mag , nuff said {loads but others cant join issue}
white sands - super huge map, lots of scrap, ton of geysers for team strat
boomamid - bomber only map benefits no tanks only bombers for bomber lovers
clash of titans - big map lots of scrap , many places for bases, geysers everywhere
wod - this map has new weapons and is a great dm map
victory - for center builder strat lovers.
I have about 300 maps on a cd and if i don't have the map can download and add it very quickly. To test a map with me just ask i will be happy to try any map
These are some things of what i hope to achieve
I would gladly hand over this project to anyone who is better at it as long as it gets done asap . I have waited for these maps to be added since September at least. And think it is a lost on the agenda but it looks like this build if not the last one is very close to it {thanks ken}.
I'm hoping like every one else it is .
I hope to be done by next Mon. so this will be quick so get your 2 cents in .
i will check his thread every day i will be @ bz every morning from 8ish am till 1 pm. all week you can email me at nolbp@yahoo or nolbp@hotmail if you need to reach me post here i will check each day.
