testing new maps?

So, let's just say, some n00b mapper wanted to spam some crummy beta maps on your servers for some public beta testing...

How would the aforementioned n00b get them there? Hmmmm?

Do they have jumpers and can you swim in them?

...might be some jumps, but this guy never made jump maps specifically. Very technical maps though, high attention to detail, sometimes a bit edgy on FPS, but look great and play quite well in most modes.

I would hazard a guess that this "Tinker" person would easily pass them...

Any FSK going to chime in here????

Dragonne,
I don't have the ability to load maps into our cycle however, Fokker, reflux, frog and dank should easily be able to do this. I would jump on TS3 and look for one of us. I would also PM frog or dank. I would think by 5 or 6 tonight your maps could be up and running, given no issues of course. how many maps are we talking?

Regarding your comment.

- If you would like to test some new maps on our server, feel free to contact me and i will Upload them. I tend to idle on Ts3 all the time.
- We can either test them on our private or public server. Your discretion.
- As for getting us the maps. You can upload them to our team speak server by doing the following. (or e-mail works too)
Join Team Speak3 - Right Click on the "Uploads" channel in Techy town - Goto "Open File Browser" - Then upload the maps.

PS. Folks that can UL the maps: Fokker, Reflux, Frog, DankRider

Well, it could be 4-5 maps by the time they are all ready (have to count and see how many are near completion), but I have one that should be good to go in an hour or two (almost a 60meg pk3! hehehe). I'll hop on TS in a few. They would all be for public abuse, I mean "beta", with issue reports coming back to me to clean stuff up.

Thanks guys! I'll put a nice note in the readme for FSK's help. =)

Hey UM3 guys... the first one is on the FSK405 CTF server. ut4_hydrodam_pb1.

Enjoy! =)

got the "bad command byte" message loading ut4_hydrodam_pb1 the first few times. I had to take all of my maps out of the UrbanTerror folder to get it to work.

I tried connecting 4 or 5 times and got the error message but eventually it worked. Lots of eye candy.

Ya, they had to clean up the tons of maps they had on the server. It's in the new rotation for this month, should work much better now.
