jester rocks -

one of the top mappers in q2 - right up there with Maric imho...

Right up there with? In my opinion, Jester's mapping abilities surpass Maric's. Maric was a pure machine as far as cranking out quality levels. But Jester's the top Q2 mapper of all time.

How bout some of the great Ra2 maps that are still played but as dm? Map 24 Bigones and Map 20 often called blue edge would be awesome for ffa.

I would be all for it; but as far as I know, someone would have to:

- extract just the pickup arena into its own map
- add weapon/ammo/armor/item spawns to the map
- (did i forget anything?)

Oh, and hopefully there are no custom textures/envs involved (or very, very few) as I try to keep vanilla maps limited to default textures/envs.

The textures are plain vanilla

in 24 and 26. Not sure about 20 though.

Who could we get to do that to the maps? I dont know anything about mapping but i will help if i can.

It probably also involves decompiling the .bsp, unless the original creator is still active in the community and wishes to cooperate. I'm not sure that hacking up his map would be entirely "legal", based on whatever terms were specified in the original README.

Btw, I do think that Pan has produced some wonderful levels. But take a look at Jester's geometry and detail. It's really a generation ahead of where everyone else dropped Q2 mapping.

The creators emails are in the readme.txt.

No I don't mean the stock maps that are on rotation (base1--->Q2DM8) but the alternate maps like Japang, Worn, Wtf!2 etc. Hell I'll even play some of the other Koth maps. Can we put in a fresh batch of 10 or so of alt maps. I just can't play BigSpaceGun anymore........

Yeah man - When is someone going to get us hooked up with fixed1.bsp? Damned I love that map but its only on the mutant ghost-town.

Velocity used to have some good alternate maps. I'm a diehard quakefan but the maps are getting pretty sleepy for me to - somegbody needs to crash that train map - base 2 - yikes. I don't even suggest blacklisting any of them, but lets add a couple new ones - agreed. What about tastydm1 even.

people seem to be missing the point of what the vanilla server is
VANILLA SINGLE PLAYER MAPS ONLY and WHERE THE NUBS PLAY

if you want custom maps, gotto the mutant server

with that said, i have converted all the xatrix maps (minus xdm7 which is basicly edge)
they all use vanilla ents so they are fully compatible. they can be downloaded from my site here on TS

Presuimably you have are not a "NUB" and do not have to play on vanilla, hence your opinion is nullified . . .

Come on man - it's getting harder to find a high fragrate game lately on anything but vanilla. Mutant is not what it once was, all those cool maps aside. But some of the vanill rotation is getting painful. Almost like "whoa man I didn't realize that I hated quake this much"-bad

Lets face it (personal feeling), many of those specialty servers are not that full because that is not what people are looking for. Xartix maps - personally I have not found them to be stellar DM maps and xatrix itself is a bit boring (for me). Those silly ass alternate weapons.

Later,

Senor - is there any way to reduce the time-exclusion so we can play it more often for the first couple days? I want to see but cant get it for 70 minutes in this case?

Or is the setting global / or this just a pain in the keester?

Just wondering . . .

Thanks for putting a new one up - we need an infusion.

It's global... (per-server)

However, I could temporarily lower the global setting a bit, maybe....

OK, I've set up vanilla2 so that there's no time limit on requesting the same map in a row, for now.
