Gungame Map Cleanup

[Short_Bus]

the only way i can see a good map clean out is to set up a time and date for the admin to get together close the server to the public and go into the maps 1 by 1 and vote then in or out then reopen it the the public at max we would be shut down for 30 min to 1 hr oh and i want pyro nades in gg

[Short_Bus]

hate to bring this up agin but we really need to do a clean out and maybe add new ones, all we ever play is weaver or degel 5 it getting kind of old.

[Sajora]

yea thats true short we play some maps a lot but for some reason the players like them
and if its possible could we plz remove gg_300 from the rotation? we never play it cause its to big and the players dont like it much

and could we get the old churches back? i duno why but we dont rly play the new one
it was a good map and it was smaller than the new one
we need more smaller maps cause we dont have much we got weaver and shotty but thats it the next small map would be lego_arena but its a map u can also play with 20 guys on it
ill have a look on fpsb for new maps

I haven't been in game much the past few days but here are a couple that look alright.

Edited - Downloaded & played maps, all except for the one I deleted would make good additions, please review and let me know.

http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/48069 gg_beermonkeys_arena

- Too laggy (similar to new churches) b/c of rain and maybe skybox?..

rjk please download and play maps before recommending them here.

Ok, so after significant discussion & comments about adding / removing maps by both the gg regs and the other admins and with some loving advice from nat :P, a group of the admins / jr owner (me, sajora, organ, shortbus, and even clay was in for a map or two) got together and reviewed a bunch of new maps and yes / no voted them.

The end in mind was that we could try to stop adding a few maps, taking off the ones that nobody liked, then adding a few more... rinse and repeat... that is more than likely a pain for those that do the physical admin of the servers. At the same time, making the server more competitive and giving the regs what they want (i.e. - fresh gameplay).

After a couple of hours of scouring through fpsbanana, loading, testing, and voting on the maps, we compiled a list of a significant number of maps that we all felt would make a good addition to the server. Organ was the guy with the final say while we compiled the list, but I wanted to post it on the boards so that he could sign off on it here and the admins/owners that weren't on at the time could see as well and give their feedback.

Additionally, we compiled what I hope to be a complete list of all of the maps that the admins / regs wanted off the server so that we could do it now, and then not have to revisit the topic again for a number of months. I'll post the list of new maps here, and I'll have organ review (and subsequently post) the final list of map deletions again w/ BMOC/mamaice/hellscream/etc and hopefully we'll be done with the minor changes for a while.

Here are the list of the new maps. (thank's sajora)

To wrap it up, thanks organ / sajora / shortbus / etc... I know its a significant list and we went through a lot more and these are the ones that we came up with. Please direct all complaints to Organ :P

[Sajora]

well i can tell it was hard work to go through all maps but we had fun and i hope all admins and jr. owners of gg agree to this big change
lots of regs were talking about its getting boring to play the same maps every day for a long while so we decided to work on it and this is the result
well we dont know if ppl will like the new maps but im pretty sure they will

Saj.

[Short_Bus]

boobies! great map

[Natalya]

What maps did you want removed?

[rjk83]

Well, this was the edited list of maps to remove, I'll post it here in case I don't see organ for a few days. However, I'm sure that at least one of the owners still needs to pick through it and edit or ok it before removing them. They may want to keep some of em.

aim_paintball
aim_texture_4way
gg_300
gg_bkh_assault_runner
gg_cell_shaded_shotty
gg_churches_x_fix_son_final
dm_hangumhigh-m
gg_dusty_arena
gg_knas_bunker
gg_obelisk
gg_stair_apex
gg_fallingtrash
gg_southfields
gg_wck_shizzle
gg_7_gundust
gg_texture_arena
scoutshine
gg_desertstorm_v2

Some of those really shouldn't be taken off.. falling trash was one of the better maps on the server Southfields as well as (some others may not agree with me on this one but..) hangumhigh were some of the ones that have been on the server for almost 2 years, since I started playing... I don't want to see them go! -tear-

[Ryan]

I love falling trash and texture arena, and hang em high is great when the server is full! I am fine with the others going.
