Congrats IHMHI, on getting into the Beta team. I've done some Beta(Alpha, actually) testing on Dodgeball:Source....it was a lot of fun, and that game was pretty damned playable even in the Alpha stage.

I do have a question for ya(and the dev team): Are you strictly playing on Dev made maps, or are you giving the community maps some time?

I need to get back on that server, and see if any progress has been made on Badlands....but the partially done map I saw looked awesome!

Avanti, however, is the shit! That map is incredibly well done!

No(t yet).

Iggy: Imbrifer's "attrition" is in the lineup, mostly for testing I think. I don't know of any other community maps that are in.

Mostly just by reading threads and dev journals. A list of what has been told to the public isn't out there right now.

When the game comes out there will be a list though...

There are a lot of people who want to get in on the beta test. Keep in mind that we have about 24 beta testers and the devs. There is a possibility they might expand on that number, but it is up in the air.

Basically, all of the forum regs who got in were suggested by people who were already in (devs, current beta testers). I would surmise that that would be the case here, and I have a short list of people who I would invite. No offense to any of you, but some of them are my friends in real life. I love you forum d00ds but they take priority, ya know? Plus, you guys can not hurt me in person. They can. >_<

I hope this keenness is felt by the devs too
Quite so. With the addition of the new programmer (We loves you Aftershock <3) things are really picking up. I love hearing "good work/good job" from Defrag or Aftershock. It makes my pants wet (in a good way, but also a bad way. A bad, bad way.)

I have not tested it out but seeing as this is an existing feature I will grab one of the other testers and try this out for you, since you asked nicely luminous. If the devs clear whether I can say yes or no on this, then I will let you know.

I have personally not see it, so while I think the devs would code it in (as it IS in the spirit of TFC), they have not done it yet in the beta tester's version. Remember, beta testers are not running the dev version of FF. Devs actually check stuff out first before updating the beta server.

Also note that they are coding stuff that is considered "frills" (like birthday mode) last, if they code it at all. Right now they want to focus on bugs that affect gameplay or does thing that crashes the server.

Thanks Iggy, you know you my homie. ^.^

We are pretty much playing on dev made maps only. For the most part, dev made maps are going to be the release maps, like dustbowl, palermo, etc.; the stuff you see on the media pages.

Do keep in mind we have two of the best mappers on the forums... nay, the Internets on the beta team: Nezumi and Imbrifer. These guys are like King Fucking Midas with whatever maps they touch, except they do not turn it into gold, they turn it into awesome. Some of us have been pushin' the devs to allow them to test maps on the beta server so we would have more maps for instant release. But you know what, if we do not, no biggie. Imbrifer and Nez could probably get their maps out for FF within a week or so, maybe less since they are beta testers and would probably get priority help from the devs or something Iunno.

Circ, GambiT, etc.; thanks for picking up the slack in my thread while I was out. I think I just got a new and awesome job today (!), so I was gone longer than expected. I think I got all of the questions you guys missed but I am tired and I have been up for 24 hours. If I somehow overlooked you, I am sorry; post again to remind me. I will check the forums once more after eating dinner and then I will go to sleep and catch up on these in the morning.

Thanks to all of you for giving this thread a wonderful start. ^.^

You know what's really messed up......I had an idea for a TFC map a few years ago, but I never had the time/talent to do anything but draw the layout on paper.

If anyone is interested in picking up on this, I'll drop you the rough designs and let you have some fun.

Edit: I'm getting a bit too old to be learning a new computer language every few years. I gave up when Pascal dried up.

Just chuck the designs on imageshack and make a new thread in mapping, if someone likes it they might make it for you.

Mapping has nothing to do with languages...
