Lemon Jelly 26 #1 Posted December 17, 2009 It would be nice if Lotus added a Custom map/custom skin server. Is there a reason why we don't have one? It would be nice to just mix it up once in a while with some fun new maps. I'm sure they would be populated, seeing how Lotus has a pretty good fallowing. Eh would even *donate* a little more to see it happen....Just a thought, what do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Sean 1 #2 Posted December 17, 2009 I'd like to put up a vote on this... It would be awesome. Although, and do correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a custom server make more wall hackers? Maybe I'm wrong, but that might be the reason Mana doesn't have one. Although if we did have one, I would go to that one a lot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan_0214 18 #3 Posted December 17, 2009 Nah, it wouldn't allow hackers in any way shape or form. You still have sv_pure on so that they have to have the same files you do on the server, and you can download the files from the server. We sorta tossed the idea around a while ago, but we couldn't really agree on what we'd put on it, who'd pay for it, etc. The little details pile up. Talk to Mana if you're really, really interested in helping set one up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miyari 33 #4 Posted December 26, 2009 I still want a Custom map server; it's not like everyone isn't already tired of every stock map in the game. It's silly how much you miss out on by limiting yourself to stock maps only (some of which aren't even very good). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dashuu 11 #6 Posted December 26, 2009 I would donate for a custom maps server, not sure if that would help though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Sean 1 #7 Posted December 27, 2009 And they don't have to be ridiculously custom like Mario Kart or something, but just some good maps that are nicely balanced. I remember a map in the mountains or something and it was playload... forgot what it was called but I thought it was fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokkoly 11 #8 Posted December 28, 2009 I don't think anyone here was even thinking about Mario Kart. I think anyone who did would be immediately shot down by a number of people. I would like to see some good custom maps though, there are some good ones out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissia 7 #9 Posted December 28, 2009 I remember... I think it was convoy? it was essentially two trains or giant tanks or something, going at high speed on the map, and if you fell off you died, and there was weird gravity between the tanks, making you have to use the various bridges and shit.

Super Sean 1 #10 Posted December 29, 2009 Did anyone play a map where there was a large tank that was neutral and both sides pushed it tug-o-war style? That's a fun map too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brokkoly 11 #12 Posted December 29, 2009 Convoy is a nice map, but it ends up with lots of snipers and never any medics Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Treehugger 0 #13 Posted December 29, 2009 That convoy map sounds like fun. Do you know any servers running the map? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melissia 7 #16 Posted December 29, 2009 Convoy is a nice map, but it ends up with lots of snipers and never any medics Most maps with pugs end up like that, although at least lotus servers tend to have competent players who don't just play sniper all day and suck at it.

Brokkoly 11 #17 Posted December 30, 2009 Yes, but convoy especially ends up with lots of snipers, or it ends up with picnics at the back of the rockets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemon Jelly 26 #18 Posted December 31, 2009 Here's a list of some of my favorite maps, all which can be found on FPSbanana. cp_freight final ctf_convoy_v2 cp_labor ctf_stronghold_b5 cp_warpath cyberpunk cp_ toy fort ctf_aerospace_b4 cp_orange_x3 blackmesa tc_meridian_b2 I think that would be a great start to a new server. idk if mana has read this post or not but would love to hear what you think about the idea I don't know shit about setting up a server but like I said before, I would definitely throw down some money to make it happen. Would be nice if there was a west/east coast or just central too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Sean 1 #19 Posted December 31, 2009 I played Convoy earlier today. I would totally recommend it. Lots of fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Convoy is fun but suffers performance issues. Black Mesa is too big (People have a hard enough time with Steel). Please... not Toy Fort. For the love of Henry Spencer, not Toy Fort! Admittedly I haven't played any of these in, geez, at least a year? Maybe they've been improved. Except Black Mesa and Toy Fort.

Melissia 7 #22 Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah, the Orange maps are so bad. Way too much open space on most of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet - True Jay 0 #23 Posted January 14, 2010 Id contribute to this server if it had a good rotation. Only the well finished maps though i think. HATE playing on maps with orange walls and gray floors. If it would bring my beloved ctf_aerospace back into mainstream rotation, happy times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
