I was speaking to Thulsa_Doom at work today and he said "Wouldn't it be good if the TCS boundaries could be marked on the map?".  This got me thinking and that's always a bad thing!  
Anyway, Mani has a feature to allow you to advertise on any area of the map using a spray, so 4 hours later I have been round all of the maps and marked them as can bee seen on the following examples.  
I'd like to implement this on Boomer but wanted some feedback from you first.

The required files are in the attached with a readme.  These are only needed on the server.

Excellent, I'm sure that even new visitors to the server can't help but ask what they are all about.

And a server message of "Please observe the 'no entry' signs!".

Double that mans wages.

This is very good Whitey. I thought of a similar idea myself. My idea was to post an overview with boundaries in the MOTD that is updated to the map changed to. However, I think this is much better. If you have any questions regarding the boundaries on old maps or on newer do not hesitate to ask. I invented most of them and also made the colourful overviews back in the days.
 
Once again. Very well done! Implement immediately!!!

He said "look".  You should read. :blink:

He was saying that looking at all those signs on a night when it is just dMw on the server would be a PITA - I would agree.

Thanks, I should have known that :blink: .  I'll get it changed and if you see any others that you think could be better placed then please let me know.

So do I, this if for Boomer only and once we get enough dMw people on the server, we can move to Meathook.  The first couple of attempts at a spray were not as "in your face" but then I remembered the type of people we can get on Boomer, so I think these will work better.

It would take about 30 seconds to bring back the original PCS map limit posts that we made all those years ago (to which Sadako added pictures) if we wish it.  We have them all in one of the forum archive topics.  If they are of use or wanted temporarily for guidance or reference then shout.

I think between the maps Sadako did and the map adverts, we should be OK.  I'll have a go at doing all the new Source maps in the way I did Losttemple on colourful overviews.

I think that is a superb idea :worshippy:

Kudos for actually doing it !

I guess they're 'fixed' options? In an ideal world it would be lovely to be able to turn them off or on - so you could enable them for the first couple of rounds of a map then remove them as the pubbies get the right idea.... Is that possible or no (I have no idea)?

Well done you.

PS. Someone uses a command which says

'Type motd to see the server rules'

I tried that and it didn't seem to work for me. I just typed motd in the console....

Just thought I'd check ?
