You may have heard of the popular map VCTF-AnarchyHalls_CODA from UT3 PC. Several ppl including myself have been wanting to see this on the PS3 for the longest time.
I have been in touch with the author of this map and I requested on iamgaming's behalf that he make it available for PS3 online use. He has now cooked it for PS3 but we need someone with a dedicated server to test if it works! As you may know many cooked vehicle maps tend to not function on PS3 dedicated servers but since we are in contact with the map author himself we can request edits or any changes to be made in order to get it working online properly. I'm hoping someone here will be willing to help out considering the map author is willing to assist us as he wants to see his map available to the PS3 community, and he also took the effort to research the cooking process to cook the map for us. I know not many of you are into VCTF but I think new maps would be good for the community. This is one of the most popular maps on UT3 PC and there's lots of fun to be had. Anyone willing to help out? |

I'll rent a server later if we can confirm some fun custom maps as working online.
I am also trying to contact the author of VCTF-MegaStructure_SE. He hasn't gotten back to me but I suspect that map just needs to be re-cooked for it to work online. |

Uhm yea sure, but tbh this wont hype for pubs on PS3.
You're about 3y too late with this thread :/ Most ppl around here just come online fts of fun instead of going hard in pubs and most VCTF noobies out there dont even know what custom maps are or how to install them. Too bad that PS3 doesnt have that auto-download-after-vote function. Otherwise this would have been much easier. Just telling the truth. But if still want my help, ill be glad if I can contribute in any way. My PSN is: Darkn3ss_is_QnL |

Yeah Darkn3ss I know what you're saying. But this map in particular is all fts of fun, it's not really the "go hard" type of map anyway so it fits the description of what you said gets played by the ppl around here :)
Not to mention it is one of the most popular maps over on PC. I think the remaining PS3 players could have some fun with it, at least for a couple months, while there's still ppl playing this game. There's 1-2 full VCTF servers during peak hours so it's not 100% dead yet! Anyway, I appreciate you offering your assistance and will contact you soon. |

Bro, Darkness is right.
This map, no matter how good it is, will never be played with a fun amount of ppl. It's useless to try, public games in VCTF will never have custom maps, those who still play just don't put up that effort or mostly don't even know about it. And never really will.

Jup, but thats what I'm trying to say. The majority of the people inside that server are noobs that always have been playing stock maps. They most likely dont even know what a custom map is or dont even know how to install it. Like I said, its not the same as on PC which, on entering a server the map is installed downloaded to play. You are better off posting a thread for VCTF players that are in for a pug. But then again, your effort is much appriciated, but it wont hype. You will get 1 or 2 pugs at least before the map falls dead. Its just how it is on PS3 now.

Sure the VCTF servers may be populated by noobs but really it's not rocket science, I'm hoping they would understand what to do if the server kicks em out and they get the message "U DON'T HAVE THIS CONTENT INSTALLED!" and the server description says "INSTALL MAPS HERE www.ut3maps.com" and there's super-simple instructions on how to install.
I think the biggest problem will be to get them off their asses and move the USB stick from their PC to their PS3. I'm hoping they eventually will be pushed to make the effort if the server gets popular and they keep getting kicked off when they can't play half the maps. Perhaps I'm being too optimistic. You guys may be right but I want to give it a shot anyway. If putting it on the public servers is a fail then f***it, it can be used for iamgaming PUGs. |

I concur.. Even with all the negativity you can atleast give it a try. Whether people play it or not, you'll find out eventually.

Actually true. believe it or not people actually message people asking how to get maps. A few noobies from duel have asked me. Its all about explain to them. them people like TX and whoever else made the "iamgamingdotcom" accounts should get them running again just so others will come.

Duel, is a completely different story.
I'm sorry, I'd be a fake if I said give it a try. I'm actually against it because I'm too sure it won't work, not only that, but it'll destroy quite a few public games. Imagine, a full server, then it changes to a custom, 12 people get kicked out. Do you actually think they will care enough to find, download and install this map if they can just play another mode/game ? It's your call though

Players will be kicked out of the server a lot in the beginning. That is expected. But I'd like to believe if they go as far as actually visiting the webpage w instructions they'll go all the way and install it. There will be simple instructions with the map download links right there. Foolproof. I believe the issue lies in having them go to the webpage in the first place. I'm hoping it will gradually change as it gets more popular and more ppl install the maps. A player will be kicked out of the server and knows his VCTF buddies are still on and probably playing a kickass match, while he's sitting there in the server lobby staring at the URL in the server description for the 4th time this week :) I might be overly optimistic but we shall see... |

Oh yes. In both Anarchy Halls and Mega Structure. Maybe this will make you come back to ut3 and play more often Shaker? :) |

That map is the worst map ever- it ruined ut3 and it is the reason ut3 is totally overrun with sh1t.
- bringing it to ps3 is a f_king stupid idea

OK.
So the map author has sent me the link for the cooked map. Any volunteers that can help test it out on a dedicated server? |

Like I pm'd, you need somebody with an active server to put the map there.
If you have the map there, you need people to download it and install it. Btw, AnarchyHallsCODA is good map for PC, but it will increase in size for PS3. Plus, did you ask the author to cut out the custom music? That does not work for PS3.

I am testing it right now in Instant Action. The file was not even 21mb, I've installed duel maps larger than that. The custom music does work. It's a pretty wild map if there's enough ppl playing :)
I want someone to properly test it on a dedicated server first because if there are any errors that are fixable, the map author can make the appropriate changes before distributing it. This will ensure everyone has the same version. |

Jup, you will at least need 12 ppl in that game. AnarchyHalls is an epic chaotic and hectic map, lots of spam ;p

Yes, that is why I think it would be popular amongst the noobs :)

I MADE THIS THREAD ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO.
No one was willing to help me test the map. I had to eventually rent a server on my own. I made AnarchyHalls available on the server barely 1 month ago. As of today, 107 ppl have downloaded it. Shouts to everyone that said it couldn't be done :) But more to those that were encouraging. MORE MAPS COMING SOON. |
