Old Maps?
Boogie Knight, Sun Apr 18 2010, 09:24PMWas just wondering what it would take to bring some old maps up to snuff to play when 4.2 is released. Like Qween Bee has done with some. It might be fun to play the old Superman map with the building behind blue and the smoke stacks at the end of the freeway. This would be done after any current development of course.

Talking in old maps, :)
Is it still available the old superman maps? i played since the 4.1 beta release, and i would really like to see how are the old superman maps.

Just thought it would be fun to maybe get the old map into a rotation for a short time.

Speaking of old maps, one of the local servers has Dealey Plaza on it, which I quite enjoy.

As long as I'm on the internet they will be.

If you all want to try it..
We could add an old version of superman to the rotation. maybe a quick bomb mode as well.. Both could be timed.
Either way im open to it even if it is just for a couple weeks.. I would however like the dust to settle for the new server before trying it out.

that would be nice dank, honestly it would be much fun, to remember the old superman days.
it´s a subject to discuss, for my part i liked the idea

Maybe you could rotate an old superman map with Dealey on the old server? I think the Superman that we play now is the best but just for nostalgia and to let players who have never seen it get a chance to play on it.

Definitely an option. - I just want to get the new Superman Server populated again. I think many of the regulars think it is down or replaced. Until folks are trained to go to the new Superman Server im hesitant to confuse ppl by adding the old Superman to the Deley rotation.Boogie Knight

It would be really nice having a rotation like that.
Now as the new server ins´t to populated for now, for us is good, that means, less asshats and troublemakers.
and us the regulars can have a nice play with other regs :)
but we need newbies to pwn anyway :=)

The old superman server is now rotating between Dealey and Super Soldier Alpha 03. Autodownload is working. There shouldn't be any conflicts with other maps, but if there are you'll just have to delete the supersoldier_alpha03.pk3 from your q3ut4 folder.
It will remain as TDM only because CTF would result in disaster given the state of this Super Soldier alpha. There are missing textures, treacherous obstacles, poor vis blocking, etc. This is more of a public demo of a map from 2006.
In case you're wondering why it is alpha 03 instead of 02 - 02 had a soundfix that was a separate file and would not work with autodownload. So I repackaged alpha 02 with the fix and called it alpha 03. I'm sure I'll get hell from wily. =]
I won't be putting up any older beta versions of superman. Betas 1 through 3 are too weak given the size and limited gameplay (again, probably more hell from ducky =]), missing textures, etc. Beta 4 is inferior yet close enough to ut4_superman that I don't see the point in putting it up.

Gr8t! Thx mindriot! Can't wait to see it again.
mindriot, Tue Apr 27 2010, 12:09AM
So yeah. I don't know how long this experiment will last. Joined up and the score on the alpha was -45 to -87. So I put a 10 minute time limit on it. But it appears as if it just isn't playable. I may sub in ut4_superman_b4, as there shouldn't be any conflicts with other maps.
AceTone, Tue Apr 27 2010, 06:43AM
Hi Mindriot. The reason the scores were like that was primarily due to players exploring the map and attempting trick jumps etc. rather than really shooting each other for points. Not sure if this will eventually change to be become competitive; but it sure is fun!
Boogie Knight, Tue Apr 27 2010, 05:56PM
Ya, hard to get to the top of the smoke stacks. Lots of positive comments from players as they explored the map. May be one or two ideas there. I always liked that room off of maintanance. And theres a neat little coffee shop on the end of krate.

Is this what happens when I leave you guys alone? Where can I download my map? ;D
Good move mindriot. Aww come on you have to put beta 3 up! That was the break-in period!!! How about beta 2 for the hardcore players, when ALL arrows were invisible??

is supersoldier alpha still on rotation on the dealey server? if so, i must have shitty timing each time i go to it its not on.
