Question for the Map modding / modders in General

[CR_Bongo 0]

i wanted to ask what everyone thought about this,

we had an idea for our server, and for all dedicated servers,

to take all the maps from all the mods that are available, and put Just the maps in one really big mod.

make it no weapons, no characters, just Maps, and issue and release it as

something like "The Dedicated Server Map Mod" or something along those lines.

i know that running a dedicated server like we do, we get sick of playing the same maps over and over, and all the new maps and mods have breathed life back into GR

( as if it would ever die ) and having to turn off one mod, and then turn on others,

gets to be a bit much and most dedi servers run the same maps/mods over and over.

this way it would ( with proper credit for each map given of course ) show off some of the newer maps that some people to be honest , dont even know exist, or have never played.

it would be one BIG download, we are looking at 200-300 MB at least with compression ( which could be painful for dial up ) , but turning on one mod to get all those maps would be easy.

and later on, it could there could be a second update, that would just add to it, ver 1.2 - 1.3 etc etc

so let me know your thoughts on this one, whether good or bad, and if you have maps that you have made, that are already released and you want to have them in this mod,

contact me, or just post it here.

thanks

As good of an idea as this may be under certain circumstances, I can pretty much guarantee that you will not get permission from the makers of the top GR maps to do such a thing. You may get a good number of good maps but it won't be anything near your ideal.

My biggest concern is the mix of quality of maps.

There are some awesome high-quality maps around but if they get mixed in with the real crappy ones, most mapmakers will pass on the idea.

If you thought about adding any Frostbite maps or WarofInfamy maps think again.

Post from EL_OSO:

I'm not opposed to this idea as long as its fresh maps. What's the point of recompiling maps that have been released already? Its a matter of activating/deactivating a mod which is pretty simple in my book.

I will warn you that the maps in Frostbite wouldn't be included in this map pack. The entire team is against the idea of Frostbite being broken apart into tid bits. Besides the maps don't fit within the realm of what RSE produced.

Furthermore, I've signed a NDA with WOI regarding the maps that I made for that mod. It simply states that content designed for WOI stays with WOI.

Now that both of those projects are complete, I'm not opposed to designing MP maps for a map pack.
