Concerning Filthy's custom map server dream

[Tykwer]

check out http://www.dEmension7.com/CSSMaps/
it is the western map i was talking about called de_alivemetal
a custom map server run by war is hell would be neat, but there is alot of trashy amatures out there making maps so the selection process would need to be thorough.

Jungle isnt bad esp for those who like to scout like me but its not the greatest map around. Glassfloor now there is a good custom map along with rats.

That western map looks awesome.. same with that one u posted tmgsssn.

How about this owners.. if we can find enough cool maps with nice graphics and good gameplay that are worthy of ur server, can we give the custom map server idea a go? :rockon:

We've already tried TWICE to have a custom map server. Those of you that have been around for a while will remember. It failed bc/:

1. We simply do not get enough players on a daily basis to justify maintaining a custom maps server. The most that people want to do is to try out a map once or twice, then that's about it. Even the die-hard guys that wanted teh custom maps will get bored of them after a week or 2 and then goes back to play on the regular server b/c there are more people on there.

2. Furthermore, we've found that the number of crap maps are exponentially greater than the number of good maps. Some maps cause server to crash. Some are so unbalanced that no one wants to play them.

3. It takes a lot of time to setup new maps properly. 1 mistake causes incomplete textures and messed up graphics on the player side.

4. It requires us to have another server online to serve up the map files for real-time downloads. Having the game server serving the files causes performance problems for the players.

So for those reasons, the owners won't have another Custom map server. They believe that their resources can be better allocated to the current servers and/or a future DoD server.

I really liked the custom map servers, but I have to agree with WihAdmin, they just didn't get the kind of traffic that would warrent their stay, and thus they were cut, I think that if the owners wanted to add any custom maps, they should mix in a few with the FF#2 server, but that is just my opinion.

Go go Wiladmin! I asked for a custom server back in the day Chris and got it. The punishment? HAving to troll through loads of crap maps to find some decent ones. Having to play custom all the time to generate interest. :wallbash:

It was good for a while but interest only lasts about 3 weeks.

[tmgsssn]

All those reason seem extremely valid. so its ok, but can we atleast try the western one or maybe a few mixed in on the ff #2 that would be sweet. just a thought and if not its ok. :thumbsup:
