Hello, folks.

I'm new to the forums but no where near new to Cube 2. I've played it off and on for several years. I usually only make maps and send them to server hosts just so people can enjoy the CS/CSS/HL2DM map makes I do. But now I have a question, does anyone do that? Find a medium to small map they've played on a different game and just remake it the best they can?
I am thinking about partnering up with a few people and possibly venturing into various types of remakes. If anyone is interested, my email is tylerthekemist@gmail.com
Post your list of maps you've remade on Cube2 or any Cube2 mod here.

There certainly are a few people which tend to remake maps from other games.

Take for example the map siberia, which originally is from Quake Live or dust2 which should be a Counterstrike map from origin. Another example us the map donya, which seems to be originally from Battlefield 3.

However, there are more Quake remakes than from Half Life 2 or Counterstrike.

You can find pretty much remakes on http://quadropolis.us/

There are a lot of excellent duel maps from other games (especially Xonotic) that could be remade for Sauerbraten, but no one seems to play anything other than instagib or regen capture these days, and Sauerbraten has no duel mode. :(

Well I am a big CS fan, so that's a plus. I make big HL2DM Kill-box maps and Fight Yard maps. Which aren't that big, and can be used for any mode essentially. It's hard to also camp on them. I'm working on a map now, if you guys wanna check it out I can upload it. I'm right now getting back into Cube2, and never checked out quadropolis.

Maybe you should... Although it's reffering a pretty high standard quality on Quadropolis.

I have played some older versions of Sauerbraten and Cube and although there were "duel" modes they weren't much different than FFA in terms of a player-readying system and forced spawns. I wish there was a duel mode in Sauer right now :(.

The spawning times were different (took longer). Preparing to fight has been requested a lot of timed yet never made it...

P.S.
Forced spawns, wut? Rather not.

My cube2 is either messed up or I dont seem to understand the simple mechanics of aiming and scrolling to raise or lower a block, but none the less, it isn't working. So my debut map is at a delay.

/bind MOUSE4 [ universaldelta 1 ]
/bind MOUSE5 [ universaldelta -1 ]

Either that, if it doesn't work, go to your Documents/My Games/Sauerbraten directory and delete the config.cfg file.

It works now, I don't know why those binds weren't set up, but oh well.
Thank you, now I am off to make a HL2DM KillBox!

Forced spawns is a critical part of a duel mode because once a player takes the lead (in score) he can suicide (or wait until fragged) and never respawn until the end of the match, and thereby winning by avoiding the fighting.

I might create another thread for gameplay suggestions like this but in this thread we should probably stick to the topic. ;)

I've made one map for Sauerbraten which I copied from HL2 DM, but it soon became rather dull to play because of its simplicity. Overall the maps in HL2 DM seem quite large, open and simple and IMHO would be a bit boring for Sauerbraten. Probably the best games to remake maps from would be ones with gameplay similar to Sauerbraten, such as Quake 3, Alien Arena, Nexuiz/Xonotic, etc. But in general I think map remakes from other games are a great idea and I hope you're successful with it. :) (I would help but I'm not much of a mapper)

Doing that tactic is just a very unsportive way of winning which proves someone is afraid of losing when playing any longer.
