So, please, if you've got any new maps you've been hiding away or procrastinating finishing, get them submitted to Quadropolis soon so any problems with them can be spotted and release quality maps can be included.

What I meant, in case I did not make it clear, was that you need to choose a certain *ideal* for your base, not simply a story. You said that you chose "top-secret military base" as the location; good design around it. Maybe to some Internet research on how those look in movies and what people's tastes are. Anyhow, don't think to highly of one person's opinion (especially not mine, as I know next to nothing applicable about map design) unless they happen to be eihrul, aardappel, or one of the numerous other excellent map designers/programmers.

Hey :) i happen to have served some time on a super secret base, well not so super secret but most of it is still classified even after 20 years and the fact that this location somewhere in Germany no longer exist.

But a few things, you want the bad guys to stay on the outside while you are on the inside in a relative safe position like a bunker or a trench taking potshots at the bad guys with everything you can lay your hands on (which in my case 22 years ago was a FAL and a Carl Gustav Mk 2)

If you want a prime example of a real secret base, start google and search for Cheyenne Mountain. Study well.

What are you talking about?

1: Blood Frontier is a totally different game, just on Cube2/Sauerbraten engine, has nothing to do with Cube 3, just has slightly better graphics (sometimes) and nicer features. Not even close to a jump so huge like from Cube 1 to 2.

2. The devs have considered this a bajillion times, and they will make it when they feel they need to, and are able to, it's not that easy you know. They don't get paid, they are volunteers.

#44: Release?

by K1P57A on 05/10/2010 12:24

Hello to all my SB heroes!

I just wanted to ask if its possible yet to give us a little input on when you believe the new version could be released (or if it's still to early to give a statement on that)?

Sincerely (a very forward to the release-date-looking) K1p57a ;)

Hehe, yeah I'm already following that, uncontrollably drewling ;)

Actually I could compile the new svn for mac, but I just can't be bothered DL'ing 11GB of compiling software and then getting mad at myself for not figuring where the errors come from trying to compile ;)

I'd rather wait and leave that to the real pros ;)

#50: Closing date for new maps?

by zaaikort on 05/13/2010 11:22

Hi! This is my first appearance on the forum. I would like to submit two nice little maps, well tested and almost ready for dispatch. When is the last opportunity so they can make it into the new Cube2 release?

#51: Re: Closing date for new maps?

by eihrul on 05/13/2010 14:20, refers to #50

Assume the last opportunity is today, or 5 minutes ago, when in doubt, because people always tend to wait till the last moment, or till after the last moment has already passed to submit maps, and this does not make a release manager very happy.

Maps to be submitted should be done so at: http://quadropolis.us

Are their any plans to make water corners adjustable like the corners of cubes?

#57: maps/textures/models

by .sCaSd. on 06/05/2010 01:12

If there is still interest in maps, textures and models, I would release a mappack which I'm currently making.

It contains top rated maps found at quadropolis with a voting score higher than 8.5/10 and more than 10 votes. Most of them are not included in svn-release. Reasons could be licenses, size and/or bugs. I mostly shrinked maps and cleared licensing issues. Also heavy bugfixing took place. I indicated jumppads with particles and added items such as bases and flags. Some got shadered materials. Texture-malposition and geometry bugs have been solved.

In this mappack are also lots of good textures and models in use. But some are still missing bot-routes.

If requested, I will upload. Regards - scasd.

if eihrul or quin would like the maps they would likely add them themselves.
