Well, one thing that came up to my mind lately, some mAAp maps don't have map location names so when you report in for your teammates to know your position, you just report nothing. I'm aware that not all of the mAAp maps are suitable for this kind of thing, like UT04 or Shipment/PBall (which does not need it) but some others might benefit (helps teamwork gameplay).
As far as i recall Breakout and SFTerminal Conflict (not sure about TC) don't have locations names and might benefit.

what also would be cool ...when you go on map it writes IMAGE NOT AVAIBLE.
is it possible to make a map picture there?

agree, on AA classic maps there's an aerial view of the map i think (it's a nice help for anyone who don't know the whole map).

Yes, that's something I want to do.
For report in locations, maybe you guys could give ideas as to what you want. Basically we just have to make a box around an area, it's called a CommVolume. When a player is inside that area, they report the value of the CommVolume.

I'm guessing that right now finishing the maps is the #1 priority for them. All the little details will come after.

Kind of. "Finishing" involves making the maps complete which would include CommVolumes. If you guys make a list of maps that need them and locations & names of where you want them, it'll make our job easier.
Like; Map > Location > Report-In
Monkey Island > Tents > Tents

hmm will think about it ...maybe i get some good report names

Well, giving a name for the location, precise enough to be reasonably "detected" and eventually easy to recall. I might type down a list of location names for Breakout and some other maps and post it here if it's ok :)
Of course it's not meant to have you giving different priorities or working on features like this before anything else, i posted for the sake of giving some suggestions.

;D that map would really make use of a correct loc. name reporting...also, think of players reporting in the waste bin or behind the headphones ;D

Here's Breakout, tried to go thru some synthesis to lower the amount of location names needed.
I'm aware that the map it's not as straightforward as Yeti's lair, so feel free to hit me up if something sounds wierd ;)

There's a small corridor between north working room and south ones, i would just cut it in two volumes and stick each part to each work room.

Thanks guys. I'm going to keep this open and try to get some of these going today.

Yeti doesn't have report-in locations? I see a bunch of volumes with comm locations but they're not AGP commvolumes so they may not work...
