Question About the client maps

(Strogg) #1

Well looks like people will be able to make their own modded maps the question I have is will you have to have to maps before you login into a server or will you be able to auto download the modded maps from the server? :neutral: :neutral:

I would suspect that it would be similar to W:ET, you can auto-download the map from a server whenever it is needed.

Id rather download them and install them before loading QW up though, usually its faster and can do other things whilst its downloading :slight_smile:

but as etqw maps are arond 500mb, there wont be much custom maps, only the most popular ones.

(ayatollah) #5

Why are you trying to prejudge the community, I think there will be lots of custom maps, and many won’t be over 100Mb in size. Even if they are large who’s to say people won’t download them?

(murka) #6

well many will be made but maps will be hard to download and the custom map count will be only 1/10 of what W:ET has, and thats much.

where are you getting this information from? speculation i suspect. Also probably doest account for the fact that its possible to make quite low file size map using various compression methods the the mega texture since that is the main file size hog (supposedly) and can even make small indoor maps with no mega texture at all

don’t underestimate the resourcefulness’s of the modding community
