Here's a head start for you.

http://www.asseater.org/AE/files.html

The maps in the pack are listed on that page. But they are only maps I put on the server. A couple have been updated from beta to final.

[nodnarb]

How about the comunity picks the top 10 maps that they would like to see in the pack. That way we don't end up with maps we don't want.

[Dr.Satan]

that's actually not a bad idea...

EDIT: Although thinking about it I might make something like that and then an all incumbent one...I'm hoping maybe doing this will encourage people to put the less played maps on and to check out the more obsecure community maps out there as opposed to the most popular (b/c who knows they may love it)!

[GambiT]

FF_Fragzone_G

http://files.filefront.com/ff+fragzo.../fileinfo.html

Type: Deathmatch

nice map, ppl might like it if they actually tried it.

[GeoKill----->]

Any of these maps
http://www.fortress-forever.com/foru...ad.php?t=11723
Except for blockfort, I don't really like that map

[Dr.Satan]

Updated with all of those...keep em coming!

[shadow]

A minor correction,

ff_sessions

It's actually ff_session, in the singular.

heh I really hope that one comes out soon I LOVE that map and would love to get it out there!

~thanks for the fix nod

[Mongoose]

Satan, although I know you said no Betas, could you please include my map in spirit! It is finished and was going to be released last friday, but having complie issues Should be done by tonight! hope....

ff_waterhazard ---------- style: Warpath, aka: push command points

[Dr.Satan]

I've actually been watching that one...looks pretty cool. If you can get it ready in the next week or so yeah I'll throw it in...I say week or so cause it will probably take me that long to get everything sorted out!

[Dr.Satan]

Wow there are soooooooo many maps in this section that have just been abandoned!

Anyone know of any other good placed to find more maps?

[Ihmhi]

Honestly I would wait a couple weeks before releasing a map pack. Nezumi is working on some stuff (obviously) and there are a lot of beta maps that are nearing completion (as you have mentioned).

I think you should slowly build up a list and set a release date for the map pack.

December 21st would be a good date for that for a few reasons.

1) It gives mappers currently working on stuff more than enough time to finish up their maps... at least the ones that are pretty damn close.

2) It gives us the grand hope that one of Nezumis 200 or so maps will actually be ready to go in that time...

3) It lets everyone know when they will be able to pick the map pack up, a definitive date instead of "I'll be done with this soon".

4) It's a Friday, so server owners would likely have more free time to downlaod the pack and put the maps in their rotation.

5) It's the Friday before Christmas, which means a lot of people will be on holiday break (in elementary school/primary school, high school/secondary school, and college/university) - meaning more people will have time to blow on playing the maps. Having it released on that date might make a lot more people consider trying them out compared to a map pack that has been out for like a month.

6) A few of the mappers are working on Christmas/Holiday maps in the shadows... I know of one or two personally, but I am sure that there are many more. These could be included as well and then these niche maps could end up on a lot of servers/computers.

So please, give that some thought.

[Dr.Satan]

lol ihmhi you are a genious!

That sounds like a great idea...I was planning on setting a definitive release date and wasn't planning on making it too soon so that seems pretty perfect.

Also I really wanted to include the christmas maps so that works great...I am going to update the OP to include the date and make it official now!

EDIT - Does anyone know what is required to set up a server side dl? I know it's not much different, but I haven't run a sever since TFC (like 2yrs ago) so I can't really remember. I think it's just the directory that changes, but want to make sure...if so I will just release the pack for all clients and let the sever's upload themselves, but if not then I will try to get a server side dl set up for release as well.

[Ihmhi]

Click here to PM 82694 - he has been messing around with this stuff on Source for a while and probably would be able to tell you what you need to know.

[Dr.Satan]

lol already been talking to him...but I will ask that now that you mentioned he might now!

[squeek.]

I hope to get Pitfall out by then. We'll see.

[nodnarb]

I have one map about 95% done.

All I have to do is adjust some lights
