 Topic: Custom TDM Server Map VotePosted: 21 Feb 2009 at 12:47pm |
|
(v)T/DM
We in tRi has decided that a custom server needs to start again, to hopefully spark new life into the current community as overly played maps like Reflection and Suspense start to get stale. We have seen that people are definately becoming more interested in custom content and feel this would be a perfect time to try out the custom servers again. There are a lot of quality custom maps floating around now, and we realise we have not got all the available maps that would be good for this event. Feel free to make suggestions as to maps you'd like to see in the future. At least once weekly, we hope everyone can get together for a pre-determined game-type and play some good competitive matches on custom maps, this can continue after the Titan Pack as well, which will also make it easier for us to do this.
We plan to use all game types for this, each with its own map list, complete with links. Assuming the expansion information is true, soon we will be able to host all the custom maps as gametype can also be voted on in-between maps.
Anyway, this is a selection of DM maps that we feel would make for good, fun and competitve games. This list is by no means comprehensive, so feel free to make suggestions as to maps you would like to see (Could you PM me so that this thread stays as a discussion about the maps listed and the server, they can then be included the next time.) Links to the owners thread have been provided where possible, otherwise it will be UT3mod or a direct link. The list is in alphabetical order with map packs at the end.
Map List:
I have ommitted duel maps from this list as they don't really fit into to the category we're looking for, being to have 10-16 people in a room playing these maps. That includes all the duel maps that were suggested.
Once maps for the server have been decided a day and time for the server will be agreed upon and can be used each week for that weeks gametype. Feel free to suggest a time and day that you think would be suitable for this. Our long-term aim is for custom maps to just be played at any time with everyone having the maps to be able to join and not have to preplan the servers. It will definately ensure a longer lasting community if successful.

Well, while trying to vote, I noticed that you can only vote once.
Anyways, I voted Necris Island, but I'm also liking Grand Diablo,
despite not actually playing a match on it. (I previewed it on a
Deathmatch, without bots or people.) As for the others, I don't think
I have any of them, so i think I'll download them soon.
Nvm.. it seems I an vote again.. and I voted for Grand Diablo. __________________________________________________________________________ Btw.. I'm reposting this to add something (though I probably just could of bumped it) without double posting.. Earlier, I was on for a bit and I was hosting a DM server (as my other name (RTO_SJ-17)) with the few custom DM maps that I got. (I think have more CTF, VCTF, and Bombing Run maps.) Since seeing these threads and thinking about it some, I decided to do what I did and I plan on doing it again tonight. I think I'll be hosting either a duel, DM, or both. The maps that I have are Necris Island, Oddessey (or whatever that Space Sation map's name is), Grand Diablo, Tiberium SE (I think), and I think there's another one. I'm going to try and get more DM/ Duel maps, but for the time being, those are the ones that I got. If you get the time and don't have the maps mentioned or that you see on my list, follow the Campgrounds2k8 link to UT3mod. So far, all my maps came from there. Anyways, thanks for the idea and I think I'll get into hosting a bit more, for once. Oh, and be on the look out for a Bombing Run server. (I've been playing that a bit to.) I'll try to get more maps when I get the time, but for now, I'm going to occasionally host DM/ Duel matches with a few custom maps in the line-up, so if you don't got them, find the time to get them and go get them. I'll try and occasionally help out with this idea as much as I can. Go UT3 (custom) community! |

That sounds good, I was hosting Lava Giant just yesterday with the message in the server browser being "DL Lava Giant!" It actually generated a lot of interest, with people who I don't know even asking me where they can get the custom maps, I directed them here. So just by hosting it seems we can gain interest and popularity with custom maps, at least for as long as the Midways are down.
I wasn't really a fan of Oddessy, and for Tiberium SE, we had considered it for the list, but there's some big framerate issues on it. Some of the maps on this list like Steam Temple or Downpour are truly epic maps, you should definately try them. |

Well, I'm working on getting the other maps. Though, I'm a bit confused with the last three.. Ehh.. I think I got enough I'm adding soon as is.. (I went through the UT3mod list btw..) Speaking of the description/ message, I think I'm going to add links to ut3mod and this site in my message and add "for most of the custom maps listed, go here" and "for a pretty awesome and still getting better ut3/ gamer community, go here" respectively. In the event this does work a bit, we'll hopefully be seeing more custom servers and maybe more people here.
I just got to find the time to add my new DM maps. Oh, and I got most of ut3mod's CTF maps. (I deleted one or two.. after not liking the setup.. Hey! I only got a lame-duck 40GB PS3 here..) |

Gotta give it up to my favorite user-made map: Perfect Temple.
I also voted for Necris Island (amazing fun with low gravity & good people), Krodan & Waterfalls. |

Xerxes, with us and Colossus alone we'd have 3 people to do a custom duel server with, and I know there's others as well with those maps (like blackstar). Why don't you make a topic for that now? Should be real easy to get enough players for that.

After playing the maps, and seeing I can't select several maps at once? I'll just post my choice
Conveyor Gutter Harbour Steam Temple Not sure how Grand-Diablo is gameplay wise, but it looks awesome so I'll vote it. CBP-Solar |

DM-Under is pretty good for 2v2 and 3v3.
