I went and found Spankyville since it was more of a test than any other map. There's only 1 spawn point, 5 AI guys and a ton of Karma objects not to mention max'd lighting and other neat stuff. I think it will be our proof-of-concept map to test and implement stuff for other maps. Jonny might even add a button in the training menu or something

Haha. I've always wondered about a lava floor type situation where there's moving platforms to jump from one end to the other. Players spawn without weapons then it's a dodgeball type scenario.

Skrewy just mentioned to me that a bunch of people got kicked after a server move to Collapsed Tunnel. Here's an excerpt from the log:

One of you guys that was there should mention what happened. What map the server was on before, etc.

I have done nothing with that area Blue but it reminds me that that whole run-around the map thing might be lame and should be removed.

not just using audio files of lesser volume? if I was unreal engine god shit would be simplier

Possible but it won't change the radius.

When mAAp v7 comes out, I'll be making my server mAAp only. Basically, I'll just move regular maps out of the folder and whenever someone tries switching it, it will kick back to mAAp.

I was going to do this today but I don't want to be dickish and Skrewy had a good point about waiting for v7.

Jonny, I know you're busy fixing bugs and making sure Auth is running properly but I wanted to make a list and a poll for everybody to see the positives and negatives for merging modes. It seems like to me that regular non-Assist servers aren't being used and there's only 3 or so of them but I know you do want to make it so anybody can play anywhere. Feel free to edit this post to add your positives & negatives.

Keep in mind that we can do most of the positives already but they would only be available in mAAp mode, the reason why it hasn't been done is that a lot of people don't play mAAp mode but regular mode.


Positives:
Customize the game in depth: AA3 weapon sounds, higher resolution HUD icons, custom loading screen.
No need for duplicate files like the modded T_UI2
Trim down installation size by removing useless textures/meshes/code
Custom in-game icons like those for 100+ honor or developer icons
No moving files before joining a server, get in the action faster

Negatives:
Can't play on non-Assist servers such as DNAF.

we believe that people should not be forced to use micro$ofts steaming pile of horse shit operating system they call windows
