Title: Map request.
Post by: FDG Stitch on Monday, February 06, 2012, 22:53:52 PM
Gday guys.

Back around 2.7 unsure exactly which update it was, but there was 2 maps that a lot of people I know seriously miss.
I know I miss them

Canyon and District

These were 2 really good maps that when the 2.8.5 version was released were no longer accessible.

They are still installed in my maps folder and even the tours.ini shows them, however if we tried to switch to either of these maps on the server, it would crash.

If possible can these 2 maps be converted for 2.5???

I love my multiplayer missions but I am also a bit of a coop whore, great to hear that Interdiction will also be an option. just wondering where we stand on SnakePlain though???

Cheers guys we are loving your work.

Canyon and District, they're for 2.8? I wonder why they would crash with 2.8.5... Being the stickler that I am for quality, I'm not really in the mood lately to convert a map with all the hassles to get it properly working like the original. There's a lot of documentation here that you or someone else could convert it and we'll include it :)

As for Interdiction, sorry to burst your bubble but it will be 2 teams in the same complex. No AI. At least, not right now. I have to experiment with it and see if I can get it properly working in 2.5. But I'm mostly in bugfix mode right now.

Oh bugga my bubble has been busted... :'(  lol..

No worries mate, we all appreciate all you guys are doing for us, and in the end it took quite a few years to get AA to the level it was at before the Devs tried to kill it..

I expect and hope AA2 will last a lot longer than the pitiful attempt that AA3 was, ... Is !!!

With regards to Canyon and District, no one I know can find a reason why they were omitted from the 2.8.5 update.

It seemed to most of us that someone just screwed up and forgot they were in the 2.8 update..

Thanks anyway Spanky ..

There already is GlassHouse, pretty identical gameplay and very similar layout.

The veterans like realistic maps. I personally don't want to see any more aim maps added to mAAp, there's already several quick rush maps and not many realistic objective style.

You're welcome to hop in my server (admin pass is headshot) and move maps around to test them all. Perhaps get your clan mates/friends in as well. We're open to fixing bugs/issues or just improving the maps.

Glass house is very large compared to Cage which is probably the smallest map ive seen.

Smaller than Shipment?

I believe so.  I don't know the dimentions but its like being in a large wrestling ring with a cage/maze like UFC with space to drop on the floor.

Well, I haven't read everything, so someone could have answered before me.

In regard to Canyon and District, they were within the version 2.8.5 but the file for these maps in the server map file were contaminated. Once you had deleted it from you server map file and replaced by the file of your game map file, it was running just fine.

We've got it running on our server along with a couple of other clan server.

Thanks for that Mav, You can be my wingman anytime...  ;D

The problem being that our 2.8.5 server is now basically just for User Created coop maps. a few MP maps on there like Abbusata bridge, but as I said, mostly coops.

Was hoping Canyon and District could be converted for the 2.5 version.

But "such is life" we are still having bags of fun with our Friday Fight Nights with the maps supplied by AAO25 Assist.

Friday 10 Feb was our first Fight Night on 2.5, we started at 8PM Sydney time and at 2AM Saturday we were still 11v11, it finished around 3AM...

WELL DONE GUYS !!!! What you have achieved here is monumental!!!  ;D

Well, actually, now that ELiZ is here, he might convert some 2.8 maps pretty easy.

I'm not that veteran, but it's true, realism was the good point of AA. I love little rush maps, but plz don't stop making bigger and more realistic maps. keep going guys!
