Title: Poll (Modifying existing maps)
Post by: ^^UnDiSpUtEd^^ on Sunday, June 17, 2012, 07:57:38 AM
I think community is ready to take control of the game and start working into in-game. Which will give better game play experience and it won't get bored. Not all maps will be changed i think but it will develop into a big circle and we will have fun as also bringing more players here.

I think this would be a good idea, but you cant just blindly edit maps, you must consider the fairness of competition play.

Agreed, the community we trust, we hope this will be a good team of community.

Yeah it is a good idea but as jared said you have to make sure the map stays balanced. As for original maps we have plenty of those they just dont get played that often. All the old players of AA dont want to learn new maps. They want things to stay the same. Thats why the only maps that get played often are Hospital, Pipeline, Urban etc...

Do not forcibly change the standard maps, make alternative variants that can be chosen instead.

UA should be updated. The glitches where you can get ontop of bravo central and western objective. Need some player blocking volumes there.

In terms of changing the gameplay of original maps? what does that REALLY mean?

yeah i think those issues have been fixed for the next update but not sure? if not when i get some time i can do that. I think what they mean by changing gameplay is literally making a new version of the map. Kinda similar to what spanky did with pipeline.

I'm not sure if those are fixed on the mAAp Dropbox one. I mostly fixed some issues where you could get on some edging that you shouldn't be able to. I think I also fixed a lighting issue.

Only edits to fix glitch spots

Considering how many glitches can actually be used in this game, fixing just so-called "glitch spots" still is a minor editing.

question: could we get rid of original maps? like who the hell plays sf recon? it would open up some space in the download.
edit: after looking through all the original maps, thats actually the only map that i think would be safe to remove.

I would play SR Recon, if there was any server there, of if players could join... So many great maps so overrated... Radio Tower, we never see a server there, SF Taiga, SF Oasis, etc etc

I would be highly against removing official maps. I've removed some mAAps before but only stupid ones that were unfinished or highly unrealistic. Download size is an issue but I don't think we should worry about it as much. The game is only what, 800MB total to download? AA files compress amazingly well and adding/removing 1 single map doesn't change a whole lot, you might be looking at 1-3MB.
