does this mean we'll be seeing ff_monkey_r_l_lowgrens_forthewin! ?

Is it possible to make a single version of a map, that server could control some of the stuffs in a map?
Like making 1 version of openfire, but allowing the server to set wether it would use lowgren bags or the normal bags?

Death match (lots of HLDM maps ported, also ones such as mulch_dm)
Escape (k_thegame, the_damned, etc)
Fun maps (minigolf, etc)

thats alot of gametypes

I always considered maps like cz2 and warpath a variant of the same style. But they are different at the same time. Hmm..

You forgot flagrun.

Push is a "fun" type map

And sniper maps are really team Death Matches, which is included in the DM category

[o_kam]

err no push is a legit type (check out wolteg_r)

[o_valk]

yer its played in leagues and isnt limited to "fun types" like turkeyburger and the such

[o_ghroth]

any official FF map will have the prefix
any 3rd party map approved by the team will have the prefix

[o_fjorn]

all right, slap me silly, I was thinking pull when you said push...

yeah, that is a valid gametype, as is murderball

Approved meaning? Okay to be used in the official mapcycle? Okay by decent mapping standards? Okay to play in clan-games?

Modified CTF (banana_r)

thats alot of gametypes

Is modified CTF the same as True CTF? A defender can make their flag go back to flag room by touching it.

Common sense should tell you the answer to that.

For any stamp of approval it has to go through us first. As far as I know, we will have people register with us to aquire the server.exe. And part of that registration process will be map cycle. So yes to all of your questions.
Though the last one might be left to the leagus.

Approved
1. To consider right or good; think or speak favorably of.
2. To consent to officially or formally; confirm or sanction.
3. To prove or attest.

My question is, will there be any way for you guys to stop some random mapper from slapping an ff_ in front of his map name, to attract downloads?

Well, TFC CTF isn't what you are refering to as "True CTF"

CTF, is standard CTF maps like 2fort, flag returns after usually 60s sence last touched, etc

Modified CTF is CTF like gameplay, but its not standard CTF.
For example, in banana_r you hide your flag, and then the other team finds it and caps it. Its still capture the flag, but its significantly different

[o_ekim]

True CTF is
1. touch returns
2.cappoint = flagpoint
3.you need your flag at home to cap

[o_ohcanep]

Bah, no prefix was fine, why wouldn't it be in the future too ?

For a recent game example. Quake 3.

Yes I bloody know what approved means Mr. Projectionist. I meant what standards the dev team had for approving maps, with some 'common sense' you'd have figured that out.
