Hi,
Why not having in the menu, the possibility of choising for fixe and stable maps, and other to 'svn', i.e. dynamic maps or worlds.

Some persons could directly with the game create and upgrade/upgrade (with moderators) maps and worlds. The users could be free, of having & sharing & updating maps as he wishes, like gnu opensource... via a svn environment.

It could end up with Planeshift like world, or Quake Like one... up to you to choose what you want/wish.

Cheers !

Although incoherent, I think he means some sort of map browsing integration into the game.

Sounds like he wants version control. There was something like that called Sauerville. I don't think it is still up though... Used to be located at http://pr0t0n.homeip.net/~robertj/sauerville/ but I'm don't see it there anymore...

I believe what he's saying is that some servers run a single map permanently, but that map has damageable/editable geometry, allowing it to evolve (most likely devolve) over time.

the sauerville source code it at least partially preserved on it's google code page:
http://code.google.com/p/sauerville/source

Personally I think a svn system for mapping in Sauerbraten would be very cool. Especially if you could configurate the server so that only "registered members" (of some sort) can upload changes to the at all/to the "stable" branch (but unregistered users can still spectate).

Dunno how far the sauervill code is adjustable to do something like this though.

Sauerville itself was a (planet) RPG game.

Map updates were managed over Webinterface. You login. Say: "I have a newer version of map X", and then upload your ogz file.

There was also a update program. It was looking on the page for newer versions of maps and downloaded them.


1*3 = omg -.-
