Custom maps ... for future reference

[Dr Sadako]

I know that we will go for the standard maps first. It is just that I found comments on other forums regarding custom maps and I thought I would make a post here for future reference if we would like some custom maps.

Been trying out a few maps now to see what kinda of maps are out there, and whilst going through what i call a 'snipers wet dream' there are some quality maps that could be good such as Sharqi penninsula night:
 


 
and docks just to name two
 


 
they seem to support all the modes, but as maps are mods, you loose your weapons / perks etc. not sure how they will play out as i was testing them on me own
 
Something to consider perhaps on a private server?

[DuVeL]

Should we play them then make sure people backup their CoD4-files.
I would be interested in some new maps though.

[BrotherTobious]

Agreed, I think we should try them out see how they run and go from there.

[delankster]

definately worth a look maybe we can sort out a night for some map testing ?

[lionheart]

Agreed, new maps sound like a good idea, private server night is a must.  

Need to make sure we pick a night with max attendance to give the maps a good go.

Monday?

I can swap fish hook over to a custom maps server. but i need 10 or 12 maps for the rotation.
 
If you guys have a look a round and post links, i'll see what i can do for next week.

[Snokio]

I'll do some more map testing, but I have a few more that should work.
 
Just so you know, each map is rougly 40-60MB, so a 'mappack' will be 600MB or so

After testing 27 maps, I have found the following:
 
mp_struggle
mp_Vukovar
mp_docks
mp_burg
mp_cc_night
mp_sharqi_night
mp_stream
mp_haus
mp_treasure (good but very big)
mp_oldschool (big map)
 
and maybe's:
 
mp_kob_breakout
mp_brokenroad
 
all maps taken from here:

If you need individual links, let me know

mp_docks
mp_burg
mp_cc_night
mp_sharqi_night
mp_stream
mp_haus
mp_treasure (good but very big)
mp_oldschool (big map)
 

All added to the server along with a few I'd like to try out... dust2, inferno and nuke :flirty:

Could you come up with a map rotation to make use of them?

[Whitey]

I've added all of the new maps on an SD rotation until we have it sorted.  fast download is working very well from our server (maxed out my connection).  

Some of the maps are pretty poor but I'm sure we'll get rid of the bad ones as part of testing.

I've added two extra maps for fun (mp_dust2 and mp_nuke) and they play well in S&D :flirty:

[delankster]

superb :worship: great work

when's everyone up for some map testing  ?

[DuVeL]

Can all the maps be selected through Rcon?
 
I'll be up for some testing probably early in the evening or tomorrow. :boxing:
