Custom Map Server

I've put up a custom map server because there isn't one out there at the moment.

linking directly to the file would be too easy?

 

It wasn't my file to link :-)

 

you are already telling people to use their bandwidth, why not just link it anyway

Good luck with the server though

 

The server has been taken down. The custom maps were twice as laggy as the official maps. Is that because they are not finished? What's up?

Thanks

 

They probably weren't optimized very well.

 

lag?

well I played Cuclopean on both One/Jpl and on CW server and it didnt lag on ONE/JPL so therein lies the fault Mr CW-Evan.
Tyberian was on One server an we had sum practise , very nice map with awsome city just ripe for good variety of gameplay.
Found a few minor niggles but altold a very good map....

 

I've played railroad, cyclopean and tictactoe without lag.
One of them I was testing, can't remeber which one, so I created a server for it. But the other two I played online without lag. Not sure exactly how many people were playing, but at least around 10-12. I can't imagine me joining a server with less then 10 people.
I don't know about the other maps though.

 

i so badly wanna play tic tac toe

 

I agree. I'm sorry that I can't provide a custom map server, but the idea really appeals to me. Any way we can turn one of those 4 BSID servers into one? :D :D

 

Ask eth0. But he hasn't been on for a long while because of his job.

 

I was kidding... you think there is an actual chance we could set something up?

 

i dont see why not.. 4 servers and only 1 is ever populated

why not make it 2

 

the O|nE server is going down tomorrow for the entire day during which they will be compleatly re installing it with new mani; and a fast DL server...

After which they are going to put the custom maps into the map rotation or list (In which case they would have to be changed to by an admin)

 

I've set up a customs server again on a different box / different connection. Seems to be running w/o lag. Resource/research settings are the same as the ONE server (x4).

 

Great news, I hope it can stay up for a while! This is something that is really needed.

 

given that this is the only chance to play the new maps, wouldnt it be better if we saw the maps as the creators wanted them? i.e, normal res....?

 

You could say the same thing about the official maps...

 

I love the fast paced break neak and unforgivable nature of the O|nE server; where one small mistake and a few mintues not spending teching up or getting territory means you will end up swimming in tanks later on...

 

i like not spending 4 hours on one map
