Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to play whether it's there or not.

The thing is, dm1 has been used at the highest levels of competition since q2 came out.  The map is played internationally around the clock.  The same goes for the other 7 dm maps.  I don't know why id software's original dm maps have been so successful, but the fact is they have been, so I'm against changing them.  I know I just keep re-iterating my point, but again I'm not going to lose any sleep if the quad/bfg don't get removed.

well i agree with that 100%, but all i'm saying is, at least bfg isnt located at upper rl and quad at rail haha

do the mutant/vanilla/dm/tourney servers all run maps from the same directory/maplist?
I can see how that might make it tough to customize them for each mod...

Is there a way we can define a seperate maplist for each server that uses a q2dm1.bsp.override for the ones that use the quad/bfg and the stock q2dm1.bsp for those servers that don't?

 :???:

if you are on a tourney server and the quad is there, and you dont want it

'vote quad off'  in console

can also do it from the voting menu with item toggles

I think Ely's problem might be with the DM server...

first it was all fairly stock and bland, now there's a quad rotation, a no-quad rotation, and the "evil" dm1 quad that I have yet to see anyone actually use on the dm server.

that equates to a bunch of changes to what most people see to be the "stock" DM maps server, across a relatively short period of time.

In the end, it's just a continuation of the same old "maps should/shouldn't have the quad" fuss that we all got red in the face over, 2-3 months ago.

could this be solved by adding a powerups/weapon vote capability to the franken-mod that we use for everything but the tourney servers?


I'm just throwing out options here...

I used it once.. but again, I made myself pretty vulnerable going to get it, cause it's not liek you can easily drop down after.. by the time to reach an area to drop, you're railable and you've wasted about 10sec of the quad timer.  Sure I suppose you can try and pick off people up top, but you're such an easy target up there as well.

modify it so quad is in the middle of main arena like the q4 version, and just name it somethin else, would be cool.

I agree with that, I think I mentioned that to console already on IRC.  call the map q2dm1q4.bsp or something.  it'd definately make clans like vA re think their rail and run back into mega strat on q2dm1.  :evilking:

Quadz, can you put TWO Quads and TWO BFG's? An Invulnerability or two as well wouldn't hurt either.  Now THAT would make it interesting.   lol.....jk But seriously, having the Quad ground level in the middle of the "arena" area certainly made it much more fun to play against much stronger players. (..well...when I was the one who had the Quad that is...)

WOOF!  :smiley_ablq:

I liked this modification a lot when i first came to TS !!! It added more fun.
But anyways, here's a solution for you console:
  Take a regular DM1(without quad) map and rename it to DM0 or anything you like, so basically replace DM1(w/ quad) with DM0(without quad) on servers that you are not feeling like having quad on. How's that !?  :rockon:
