I think what I'm going to do (and anyone that wants to join is welcome to this time) is convert Pipeline over to 2.8.5, finalize it in a nice playable version, and see what the community thinks. If they're accepting and it's actively played, maybe we can reboot mAAp Pack?

I really can't believe I'm bringing this up but... I tweeted about a guy that commented on my last Pipeline video:

What are your guys' thoughts? Is 2.8.x even alive still? Is it receptive to custom maps (seemed like it was at one time)?

Woah woah woah. I just looked at the AA forum to see whats going on with maps and I saw this guy:

He's the one that commented on my video o.O

This guy seems do do a lot for custom maps on 2.8.x as well:

I'll admit that when I saw the comment I thought about it a while and had nothing better to do so I thought "what the hell" and with less than an hour in Notepad++, I have this:

oh here we go. if you are for real about this, I'm game.

sigh, Ive got time on my hands I guess. Downloading now....wtf am I doing this again for...

same thougth here then knight!

if you are in i am!

Making maps for 2.8.x is some thing I'm going forward with. I need a creative outlet and I had so much fun making yeti 2. I am coming up on alot of spare time now that Ive quit WoW (account runs out today) so I think this is a good and fun use of that time. Nate I hope you join me in making maps and mods for a game nether of us really enjoy playing lol.

I want special treatment if we play around on 2.8.x.
Maybe at least it'll be easier to make a really large coop/campaign map. There's no AI to code in for 2.8.x.

I like what u guys say i think i have meet quite amazing people over my few years playing AA some of them considered friends ( mansy pansy included! & that bitch screwy!, also danny boy and nate).

whatever you guys need me for i am in.

Convincing for what?

Dann doesn't need shit, as soon as he read the headeer of the topic he knew deep down he was in so... stop pretending and get excited please. :-*

I don't know anything about AA beyond 2.6 to be honest, I only began my AA playing life on the 2.6 version and have moved on when the game has, up to and including AA3. I think your version of the map would definitely stand a good chance of getting used if it's compatible with 2.8.5 and you shared it with a couple of the well known user created custom map sites such as the official

AA Mission Depot - http://www.aamissiondepot.com/main

or unofficial but probably better and more commonly used

AAOTTS - http://www.aaotts.com

It's relatively hard these days to make a successful map and have it used by a steadily decreasing gaming community but after looking at your version of Pipe I reckon it would certainly get some use, the best thing I can suggest is to try submitting it to one or both of the above sites and see if it takes off. Also be proud dude.... It's people that do things like yourself that help keep the life in AA2.
