I don't have a list, but I know for sure that back in the day, I setup [mAAp] SF Hospital to be the same as hospital but with the extra slots. So there's at least one.

Short of opening up each map and checking, I don't think we've got this written down anywhere, I'm afraid.
Though I'm sure many more regular players (who play different maps) would have a good idea.

Here's the wiki page for the map list if you want to go through them:
https://aao25.com/wiki/index.php?title=Assist_Maplist
Or the simpler map name list:

PS:
If anyone wants to participate in the wiki, let me know. We've had to disable new user registration (many-many years ago!) due to spam bots.

Although, I can't seem to find it in game so it's possible it wasn't ever included in any of the updates due to redundancy.

The current version of SF Hospital does have the full 32 slots as far as I'm aware. It also removes the 203s and brings back the RPG from the beginning of the map. And it fixes (or at least attempts to do so) an issue with West Wing Roof (if I recall correctly).

Oh right. Yeah, my memory was a little fuzzy there. Thanks for clarifying. I recall removing that railing and the playerblocks as a result of a poll since it was an engine-level issue, not a map issue. I do recall the RPG change as well, though that was done before the railing was removed I think. Man. Talk about blast from the past.

I've now added the number of slots per map to the list of map names:
https://aao25.com/wiki/index.php?title=Map_Names
(it's possible I've made an error somewhere - so if I did, please do let me know).

Just as a side note, the reason this list exists is to be able to more easily / quickly switch maps. For instance, one can type admin a_map <map file name> to switch to another map without needing to wait for the 10 second timer, or offline simply by doing open <map file name>.

I do think the railing was never originally there. But it was added to fix people on West Wing Roof being invisible. But if I recall correctly, people kept complaining. Which is why it was ultimately removed again.

Regardless, people are now complaining that they want their 203s back instead of the single RPG. Even though the vote at the time was clearly to remove the 203s. There is no way to please everyone.

That's correct, yes. The roof was essentially returned to its original state with the removal of the railing and player blockers. And yes, there was a poll about the 203 and RPG. The reality is that either of them comes with its own set of issues. It is what it is. Don't get hit.

Totally agree on that one, it's a topic you can't win.
In hindsight, I think we should've included both maps. But that's what it is.

Thank you Guys for fixing up the list :)
If I or we find any error we will let it know.

Is there anyway to have 2 sf hospitals? One with the rpg and 1 with the m203?

Technically, yes. Practically, unlikely.
I don't know if anyone on still active on the team has a setup for doing map changes. The software was old even when it was last used. And as such, I'd be surprised if it still worked on Windows 10/11.

I don't have the editor anymore, but I'd be willing to poke around and make a separate version with the 203 if I had access to it. The editor work is easy in theory, but I don't know if Assist updates are still possible/how much work that would require just to include one new map, and a redundant one at that. Might not be worth the effort, but I'm ignorant on that side of things.

I'll send Spanky a nudge, perhaps he knows.

Let Spanki go. He's been watching his own interests all his life.
if MothaGoosE knows how to set the hospital again at 203--let him go!!

Even if someone could update the map to add 203, actually getting the update out through Assist is another ordeal.

Like Alex said, it's a matter of the Assist update. This begs the question if it's even worth it. Right now, nothing is broken and everything seems to work. Touching stuff could cause issues.
