et server suggestion New map on NoQ 2|60

[daredevil]

Thanks a lot for this man. This absolutely improves the server (once the maps without waypoints are out).

Is this maplist definite, or can the regulars still have their addon?

'cause we've been talking about it a lot...

 

Let me know which maps regulars want to add If they are good maps then we can add those!

[Platonic]

I'll try to explain our (me, Julez and Ooops) conversation briefly.

 

Let's start with saying that we didn't know you had added a mapvoting.

We agreed that mapvoting wouldn't be a very good idea on noquarter2 because it would make overplayed maps be played even more (you can see this on every server with mapvoting: goldrush, saberpeak,...).

Ofcourse, I suppose the decision to integrate mapvoting is a well considered one and I thrust your expertise.

 

We agreed about the maps (in comparison to the old ones):

-add warbell;

-add Siwa oasis clockwork and delete normal siwa (edit: this has already been done);

-add Fueldump revenge and delete normal fueldump;

-add Paris Bastille

-delete supply depot because it's overplayed (eventually modified version);

-delete Goldrush because it's on every server (modified version?);

-add resurrection;

-add caen2;

-add baserace.

 

I understand that this is a lot. It would already be great to see a part of this realized.

Thanks again for changing the maps. I hope this will help nq2 on getting more players and less bots

 

Edit: I also love tramfight, but I haven't been able to discuss this one with other regulars.

[JuLeZ']

Thank you for the very fast implementation! As Platonic War said, we discussed which map should be added and which should better be deleted.

In addition to the maps you already mentioned we choosed:

 

- Beach invasion

- Venice NE4 final * remains, perhaps check for modifications

- Marrakech Streets 2 by Night, nice map, also remains

If it's easier with the links, here they are.

 

The new maps

 

http://fearless-assa...ell-warbellpk3/ = warbell;

http://fearless-assa...sw-oasis-b3pk3/ = siwa oasis stopwatch modified (did I say clockwork? that's a dj );

http://fearless-assa...ump-revengezip/ = fueldump revenge;;

http://fearless-assa...bastille-b3pk3/ = Paris bastille;

http://fearless-assa...esurrectionpk3/ = resurrection, but I suppose there will be no waypoints for this one?;

http://fearless-assa...file/512-caen2/ = Caen2;

http://fearless-assa...ce-baseracepk3/ = baserace;

http://fearless-assa...on-et-beachpk3/ = et beach invasion.

 

The old maps

 

http://fearless-assa...nice-venicepk3/ = Venice;

http://fearless-assa...night-finalpk3/ = Marrakech streets by night.

 

 

I also forgot to add that we don't really like subway on nq2 because it is way too difficult with few players.

I've really been hopping between generator and train numerous times because I was alone or alone with someone that doesn't do the objective.

The same thing can be said about Temple (+allied bots are useless).

 

Ofcourse these are all only suggestions. I'm sorry if it's not communicated like that.

[Ooops]

Great with the new maps!

Might have had an effect already. I see new people popping in and actually staying for a while.

Just played the Minas map. Got to say I really dig that map - but with mostly bots it was total pawnage

I think the server is moving in the right direction for sure. Now we have more admins (both new ones, but also older ones popping by more often), we have new maps and quite a few regulars. Now the journey begins to get more people to play there.

Thanks for the good work with the maps!

[Faithless]

Yes it is. It is much nicer with the new maps. Now there are more players on the server and I mean it's more fun. I like very much the server. I do not usually go play on other servers than the Noq2.

Of course there are some maps that need to be made ​​to them ... I just want to say that I appreciate very much the work and efforts of Dare.

[Platonic]

Ok, drop my last post

 

The new mapvoting is fine, server runs great because of it. The difference is clear.

However, there are a few things that might better be changed, let me list it and see what you can agree with

 

-There are 2 siwa's, means a chance to play siwa every 3 maps, please delete one of them because new people usually vote siwa because they know it...;

-Minas Tirith looks like a great map, but for our server it's just too big. Most people start whining if it's voted.

 

Well I think that's it really, the bugs are all out.

Feel free to add new maps instead of those two if you'd delete them. Paris Bastille would be great tough

 

Thanks a lot and sorry I'm going on on this, it's already great as it is.

[JuLeZ']

Yeah, since every map can be only played every 6 maps, the voting is great.

To Minas Tirith: it actually isn't big at all, because the spawn moves very fast if you bust the gates. I would like to keep this map on the server.

The only problem I saw there was that I couldn't move 4 or 5 times when I was spawned as an Axis. Did anyone have the same problem?

 

Daredevil, you said that the server crashes with Fueldump Revenge. What about Fueldump Christmas or Desert? Would be great to have a

new version, also attractive for new players who already know the regular map.

http://fearless-assa...-christmas-map/ - Christmas

http://fearless-assa...fueldump-uvpk3/ - Desert

 

The only thing we are waiting for now is the sound pack :-)

 

 

Edit: for some reason the waypoints in Desert Temple Final are gone, anyway the bots don't move...

You can make one by yourself, if you have time (because most higher-ups don't have the time) here#s the tutorial http://fearless-assassins.com/tutorials/article/107-creating-a-vsay-pk3/

I'm reading it now, and if I understand it all I'm going to make one. I post this because I wouldn't want two people doing the same job

[JuLeZ']

Is it really necessary to make a new one? Why not simply take the sound pack from NQ1?

[Raziel]

Well I suppose we could also take the one from NQ1. The above thing was just an option and a suggestion.

A humble suggestion: Always optimize sound files. More it's optimized the more better sound will play and more less pk3 size would be and more sound's u can add.

 

Once it's done let me know and we can add that on test server for testing.

 

Cheers! Hi 5!

[Gubbi]

Some time ago Strobel made one for NQ that was never used but I don't know if everything has been tested and optimized.

[Platonic]

Just two questions.

Is the soundpack creator (http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/457-awb-soundpack-creator-testversion/) not a much easier way of creating a soundpack? This way you don't have to write the scripts all by yourself... Or has it disadvantages I didn't notice?

Second is if theres anywhere we can download the nq1 soundpack, we might be able to use some of them indeed...
