If you've got maps you were procrastinating on submitting to Quadropolis that you are hoping to get appraised for release inclusion, then submit them to Quadropolis, like, yesterday, please, or talk to me ASAP if you think you need an extension of time. This is the last warning I will give.

use something relevant. there are thousands of words. you can refer to some major part of the map or a tiny detail, as long as it makes sense and is unique

Top rating not mean that map have good layout, i am sure that more than 70% people who rated that maps look
for details and beauty and different textures but not at calibrated layout and gameplay. I am want play maps with considered layout not only detailed and with good texture solutions. Hope eihrul thinks so:)

Most ppl also give points for playability and item-placement, covered areas and such. There are lots of maps made by mappers who already have maps included in Sauerbraten.

I hope Eihrul doesnt include good maps because he doesnt want to bload Sauerbraten. But new release - new maps. Otherwise the community feels sorta bored.

Some maps, such as Thor2009 or fc5 which had a size of >12mb per map, have been shrinked a lot. Also licensing has been cleared for some others. I think that was the main reason for not including them.

>I think that was the main reason for not including them.

fc5 has been already included in SVN since 6 days. Actually, it weights 3,35 Mb, not 12 (the other files are external, and the skybox has been already reduced to 512x512 pixels/jpeg in SVN by Eihrul. The reason why I had saved it as png, was to preserve quality since jpeg is a lossy format).

I appreciate your effort: the CC-BY-SA license allows you to repack/redistribute maps, though such license is meant mostly for remaking/reusing parts of the maps for making new levels, than optimizing things that most mappers would be able to fix by themselves, or it'd feel like you're the "teacher" with knowledge amending noob's homeworks in order to allow eihrul including them...

Fischkopf:
Maybe thats maps great but have not so good layout and gameplay. We with Honzik1 tryed to play on 2 of that maps, maybe they looks great but not so playable with many players, like sacrifice or fc4 (i mean ctf mode, in capture fc4 not so bad) they even excluded from psl server map rotating list.

@ Blindabuser: so why the hell do you release a level with a 8.5 MB skybox ? And I dont allow Eihrul to include maps. I repackage the stuff for interested persons who dont want to browse Quadropolis for hours.

One more thing: huge amount of data is noobish ? thats new to me.

@ Degrave: Obidarid and SpaceShift have horrible licenses. SpaceShift has only CC-BY. No NC - non-comercial free copy and no SA - share-alike term.

This flamewar ends now. You're very opinionated, and you're not always right.

#16: Basement and Klodser

by zaaikort on 06/29/2010 19:08

Basement and Klodser are two nice little classical-Single-Player maps, allmost ready for dispatch!

They are actually from 2007, carefully designed and thoroughly tested, but I am working like hell on the configs to find elegant fixes for some incompatabilities between 2008, 2009 and my own preferences. Basically the trouble is that some variables that need to be different for each map can only be set in the general config.cfg or autoexec.cfg, or worse, only by command line. (Why?!)

So please, give me another day... *wipes sweat off forehead*
