Community Map Server

[Kegger]

I have seen this asked for in multiple places around the forums, so I want to tag this note in an area where people will see it.

I know that many in the community are excellent map makers, but rarely find opportunities to have their maps made publicly available for play on a solid, 200 man server. Well due to the generosity of the 1teGarde, the 1tes Westfälisches Infanterie-Regiment now have a server and are wanting to do just that!

Our server is 1tesWfs_Public. If you would like to have your map hosted on it, please send me a link to the scene file and the terrain code and I will look it over and put it up ASAP. With any luck, within a week or two we will have nothing but player-made maps going! If you want to see the lineup, please check the list on our Server Thread.

Now all of you go get to map building!

If the mods would prefer this be kept in our personal server thread, please lock this. Thanks.

Great way to use the generously given map.

I feel i shall be on this server a lot.

Great Initiative, I'm glad this will get started even without the Devs.

Quick question, will the map be running any specific gamemode, or will it be battle?

Definitely a good question. As of now, it is set to run Team Deathmatch. However, we may regularly change this. Maybe have a weekly poll on what people want or something..

Great idea, I've been looking for a server that does community made maps for a long time. I always saw a map and thought it was great, then remembered it will almost never be played. Made my day, Kegger.

 

[Temuzu]

Sweet. I dont know if anyone has even used my map yet, but here you go, you're free to have it on the server. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,227735.msg5451150.html#msg5451150

as a map maker i thank you and im sure some of my map will be on the server 

 

[tompaw0w]

Great idea. Probably best  to have it on battle I suppose. You might want to limit the rounds aswell, so people don't have to wait 30 minutes for the next map, etc.

I Agree With Svensson, Battle is Better than Team Deathmatch. As with Officual Eu 1, maybe the maps would cycle after 5 played rounds. Oh, And Before I Forget, Should we Reserve Maps to Remake, so we dont have 3 guys working on the same original map?

 

[Temuzu]

Just remember that you need the permission of the maker of the original map.

Everyone makes a map on a different way. So it doesn't matter anyway.

I didnt mean it like that. I dont know that much of what happens after the map is done, but wont there be problem of there are 3 maps called, for example, "Avignon(Day)".

As long as we have the scene file and the terrain code, we can just rename the scene file and it should be alright. Gokiller - you're a bit more familiar with this than I am. To ensure that things like nighttime don't carry over when we replace a (night) map, will we need to copy over the entire part of the scenes file? Like all of this:

scn_mp_avignon mp_avignon 256 none none 0.000000 0.000000 100.000000 100.000000 -100.000000 0x0000000430000500800a16820000252500001e6e00002dcb
  0
  0
outer_terrain_plain

 

[gokiller]

This

none none 0.000000 0.000000 100.000000 100.000000 -100.000000 0x0000000430000500800a16820000252500001e6e00002dcb
  0
  0
outer_terrain_plain

Will do.

 

[Kegger]

So the rest of that info doesn't carry over? I wasn't sure if the whole "Nighttime" effect was in the scene file itself or in the text file.

 

[gokiller]

All in-game, nothing need to be done with the code.

So yes

 

[Kegger]

Thank you kindly sir. Want me to host any of your maps?

 

[tompaw0w]

I got a work-in-progress map I've been working on for quite a long time. I will let you know when it's done.

 

[gokiller]

Forgot to put it on lol.

Feel free to do with it whatever you want.

I'll get it put on there soon

Sounds great! Thinking about working on a custom line battle map myself.


Well, I'm pulling a "Number of passages for site 256 exceeds 16" error whenever I try to locally host to look over maps.  Just going to back up all my modules and reinstall. Its not a huge game so hopefully it won't take too long. I'll get back to checking the submissions and putting them up afterwards.
