Map drop thread - gotta save them all version

I've got cw_gorge but again, it's a map that would benefit from some minor fixes. Mainly because the CVs spawn next to eachother outside of the map which is a bit lame. I don't know how playable the map really is though, it was more of a training map I think.

Which reminds me of a couple of maps that may be missing from my list but I probably have lying around. Specifically a training map Flasche made (Arena?), and some other map I have lying around called scrim_warmup. I'll see if I get time to make a list of extra maps that weren't included in my pastebin above.

Realistically though, anything in that list I 99% probably have.

 

<-- asked for a list of available maps to share all non-available ones
<-- got a list of missed ones *fail*
but lesser work for me to provide only the missed ones tough!
maps with all required files:

Code:

emp_break_poc
emp_bridges_a3
emp_noreturn
emp_railroad_ob1
emp_rainbowroad_b3
emp_silo_rc5
emp_snowstorm_rc6

some others on your list are already available somewhere else ;-) (gamebanana/forum)
(yea i am an asshole to assholes!)

 

If you guys do your best to find as many maps as you can, be it from game banana or whatever, then I can pitch in. I'm not willing to systematically go through my old installs and reconstitute map installs, it would take me days of doing nothing but that. I am however willing to fill in gaps once you've exhausted all other options.

 

Yes..

Yes, it was a training map, but well suited for those hours where there were at most 5 players online. I'm not sure why the CV's are in the map anyways, but I think it was because that way the map wouldn't end except for when the tickets we're down. If you don't have a CV you need to place a capturable flag right?
I think it needs some other touchups as well. Some models must have changed in the past 7 years.

 

id like to play break again, although you would probably have to fix the vehicle spawner

i could do it if you give me the vmf in the files, i never release a map without vmf

 

i have collected some missing maps around the web

but anyone have these? i can't find them anywhere

Code:

emp_2base
emp_canals
emp_maze
emp_ovi_canyon
emp_stu_city
emp_stu_crater
emp_empcannon_beta4
emp_fortB
emp_Red_Alert
emp_tictactoe
emp_ashmountain
emp_rooftop
emp_dday
emp_landing
emp_death_to_santa
emp_greendale_b1
emp_hobbes
emp_minicity
emp_mondoon_a4
emp_nukedcity
emp_winterminigames_v1314

 

emp_Red_Alert is shite, it was my first empires map and i thought i could make empires into red alert style rts not taking into account people rocket snipe buildings with rpg and so forth

oh wait, thats no longer revelvant, since you cant do that anymore

I talked to Creeper, he has every single map. Apparently 3 years ago (Or maybe it was months, sorry I am really drunk right now), they went through the old maps to see which ones did or didn't work. Perhaps you could ask him for the folder with every single map to see if he can put it up?

 

those are all my map files and ....no.

 

Why not just host it and put it up? Some people may be willing to update and get the maps in working order for the community.

 

I didn't know you can own maps created by other people by simply downloading them.

 

I contributed for over 5 years in time and money. I never said I own the maps, and you can get them from other players and other sources.
but neko baron its people like you why I shut down viper and stopped contributing.

 

as you know tama, I'm happy to give you and the dev team vipers files.

 

Yeah like I'm not going to get involved in any inter-server squabbling or disagreements, but I'm going to make it abundantly clear that I think any idea that someone "owns" maps, with the exception of the original creator. There are grey areas here where multiple people worked on them or someone "fixed" them. For example, most maps with an "a" after them (temple_b3a, ward_rc2a, etc) were fixed by me, but I certainly don't claim anything over that given how little I did. I know in some cases to make them engine compatible or fix issues with vehicle spawners, it took a lot more work, so there's maybe "some" ground, though I personally again do not agree with it at all.

As far as I'm concerned, maps are the property of either the creator or the community as a whole, it's something I feel extremely strongly about. As I've said to Avatrix, if he can't find the maps anywhere else, I will help, but I'd rather not have to upload too much as my upload connection is extremely slow (~40kB/s) and I have limited time to extract the maps from my past archived installs. However, if certain maps cannot be sourced from anywhere else, I will provide anything I have, as well as anything of any past servers I have been involved with. My only proviso is that anything I provide should be rehosted publicly for anyone to access.

 

to be clear I never said I owned maps and it was never posted that the devs wanted them.

I do not want to be involved in any players personal project ..which I thought this was.

So I pmed Tama and asked if its the devs who wanted to archive the maps and he told me yes, at that time I told him I am happy to give the devs w/e I have.

 

That's great to hear. I'll be doing the same.

 

What an elitist position... arent we all players deep inside???
