Need Map testers [Urgent]
We have six maps that are candidates to be part of the next E+ map pack release.those maps are to be tested,and a complete analysis have to be presented here, regarding the textures,possible bugs,are they campy maps..Etc..
The authors julek,and shadow86, have agreed to reedit them on whatever we see it necessary.those maps are loaded on this server : http://www.excessiveplus.net/query/71.172.68.29:27958
password is : mappack , and callvote is enabled (callvote rotate ).So if you are willing to help us,releasing the first map pack E+ history.take some time and do the job
do a search for those maps on www.lvlworld.com and download them : q3shw14,q3shw15,q3shw18,q3shw20,jul20,jul22.
This is a first step before actually doing maps from scratch especially for E+. these reeditions will help us know what is good for E+ ,in maps, and what is not.
good luck
Ok Trance and me tested out all of the maps.
Only two are suited for e+ in our opinions:
q3shw20: great for tag/tdm (with minor modifications as shown in the demos to remove some really silly camp points and one location that isnt needed)
q3shw14: great for TAG (with minor modifications as shown in the demos, mostly removal of some nasty camp points)
jul20 & jul22: way too small and simple even for 1vs1 - they lack complexity. a game quickly turns into spawn / rail shot / spawn
q3shw15: exaggeratedly huge and complicated, not good for any gametype. its so big that in tag it might takes ages for players to find each other. in tdm you can't basically do anything except pray someone comes over in this decade
foksie summed up our testing, here are the demos with our recommended modifications.
I don't remember 15 but you guys know that you can cut a map right? Don't know how many modifications are the creators willing to do, tho.
ps: Don't mind me

yes, but the map is loaded with doors, narrow hallways and huge rooms.
it would take a complete rebuilding to make it work well for e+ (since there is no incentive to actually move to another room here ).
one thing where i can see that map working is if it gets loaded with more spawn points, then it would be good for a big FFA fragfest. probably would work better then the well.
only q3shw15 give a chance to play rest are bad or kind of joke.
q3shw20 - wtf nostable fps on my pc (core2duo 3.4 ghz + gf7900) so most ppl will have low fps fa sho
jul20 jul22 - ehm is it casa joke? rly small maps dunno even too small and simple for duel.
q3shw14 - simple and poor designed
q3shw15 - the best from 5 posted maps imo.
are you talking about same maps? Oo
i never had my fps drop below 125 and i have a duron 1.8 ghz and 9200 SE...
