Need Map testers [Urgent]

E+ has a definite learning curve, whenever I make something and test it in the mod, I always find it's doesn't work how I thought. Getting to know the mod and playing it with someone to show you the ropes helped me get a better understanding. I'm pretty committed to making maps for you guys so anytime you give us will equate to maps that run better, play better and will properly represent the nice mod you guys put together here.

Your guy's thoughts and advice are the best resource we have out there so if you have any good ideas for design and layouts, it will help us out alot. No detail or idea is to small or insignificant. It's always nice to have a map pack come from a community versus just a few mappers from outside of the mod.

that is a nice approach.thanks for trying.ok, i just need to know who is with us on this,and check the progress regulary.For now, striker, i see you are in.if you need any advice,add me in msn, or trance, or foksie.

Spirit,i invite you to do the same if you are in for the adventure.but first things first.we need to agree on certain points or characteristics that all the maps of this first release will have.

I propose that we agree on a same pack of textures.in my opinion,the textures of eplus2.pk3 (q3shw20-Annihilation) or something approaching is defenitly the look that we have to have,to remind players of E+ logo.Maps are supposed to be worked for 12 players.so the size have to be like q3dm6 , for all maps.we dont do CTF maps in this first release,we can later decide to release a CTF mappack for E+ and all the maps will have to be CTF.

For now we concentrate, on freeze gametype in E+.

so :
1-Same textures for all maps.
2-same E+ logo for all maps (you can find it in eplus1.pk3, posted in this thread).
3-Freeze maps ,12 players.
4-I ll be the coordinator in this project.

Thanks for the welcome.

I've recently setup some e+ servers for a friend of mine and I'll hopefully find the time to play a bit from time to time and watch some demos/videos of good players. I doubt that I'll make a map for e+ in the next weeks though, I didn't play it enough yet to do that and I'm low on time atm.

I'll lurk here and have a look at what people come up with, though. Winking

(If I find the time and feel like it, I may start a map, you never know. I'll have a look at those textures.)

Well really weird, because I always using gamma 2 for my monitor and all maps looks normal, but insaneskid maps are always too dark for me, its as 7++ or 6++ maps - also a little darky but not so much Happy

hihiiiii

hehe, yea, i know im always a bit careful with light... Winking
but in the cellar-areas with the flickerin flares
i have to be careful otherwise u can see
where the flicker ENDS! Thinking
(Further i find many lights/lamps ...irritatin;
its a bit weird coz i reality lamps make more light,
and to set an "unnatural" light looks always mysterious.) :roll:
