Bigger Maps

[Qantourisc]

I see a lot of +8 Player servers ... With is imo tomuch for the current size of the maps ... Maybe we should introduce some bigger maps to feed the need of these "a lot of max players" or is this chaos a wanted feature ?

Large outdoor maps have already been nixed in another thread due to shader issues, but large indoor type maps would be really cool. Something along the lines of the size of Silver City or the old Oilrig map would be fun (which brings up the question of why Oilrig was ever removed, since it was one of the few large maps).

You make this sound very easy Too easy IMO..

Oilrig was removed as it did not meet some new quality criteria. But it is available as a extra download. http://141.2.16.3:7780/attic/

Hey never said it was easy
BTW this might sound silly, but just dupe the map and glue it together ? (Do consider changing the colors a bit orelse you don't know what half you are on.)

I think its not silly. There was a cool 64 players level for quake 2 that glued the first three single player maps together.
But i myself do not have any mapping experiance, though its on my todo list, so i have to wait for others to do it

Interesting idea.. glue all the nexuiz maps together and get lost

Seriosly tho, it has some mapping related problems doing so, but nothing a somewhat experianced mapper cant solve. Even tho the map sources are included and released under a gpl (ish?) license mappers often feel a bit unconfortable wacking away on a map made by someone else (or well i know i do atleast) without explicit premission or by request (tho i would not mind at all if someone used my map sources like this). I guess the tought of non-code data beeing treated the same way gpl code is needs some time to "sink in".

Im currently to engaged in work on another gpl game to try this out, but im sure theres plenty of mappers here that could give this a shot.

Running man CTF is just a mirror image of the original map stuck onto it. I think for another big CTF map this could be done with Blood Prison. Join them in the corner where the teleporter is and put the flag in the room where the jumppad is. If I had better mapping skills I'd do this now.

I thinmk it was the other way around.. riunnin man is half of runnin man ctf.
