The Infamous Custom Map Week w/c 12th July.


(Kendle) #1

As a parting gift to the community The Infamous would like to invite all and sundry to participate in a Custom Map Week starting Monday 12th July till Sunday 18th July.

This follows a tradition we started in RTCW of hosting a number of Custom Maps, for a limited time period, and inviting anyone who’s interested to come play them. The idea being to identify potential candidates for new Competition maps. As we all know ET isn’t exactly awash with good quality Competition maps, although the recent introductions of SupplyDepot and TC_Venice have helped somewhat. We hope with this event to find another 1 or 2 additional maps for Competition.

Previously we made these weekend only events, however this time we thought we’d extend it to an entire week, to give everyone the chance to participate.

We have a pool of 12 maps for your consideration, and so have decided to split them into 2 rotations of 6 maps each. We will either alternate between rotations on a daily basis, or leave each running for a few days before switching to the other (suggestions welcome as to which might be the most beneficial way of doing it).

The 2 rotations (with links to download the maps) will be as follows:-

Rotation 1

2hide_cal_r1
armada_b2
pitchblack
stalingrad
uboot
vengeance_final

note:- you’ll also need the te_test and te_test2 add-ons for vengeance_final

Rotation 2

mc_bergen_beta4
rommel_fp
hotchkiss
steelplant2
svarvadel
townsquare_beta2

note:- you’ll also need the script_fix for rommel_fp

note: all maps are on http re-direct, but it would probably be a good idea to grab them first before joining the server.

All maps will be played in Stopwatch AB format, using Clanbase / RTCW.no competition settings, on www.rtcw.co.uk 18-slot (international) Uber server:- 195.149.21.152:27960

Any and all feedback on these maps would be most appreciated. Hope to see lots of familiar faces there.

Very good idea indeed, I will definetly visit next week when I have the time. dont know any of the maps btw, so I have some mayor studying to do :expressionless:


(BlackDeath) #4

Sure, I’ll stop by. Ping is gonna be a bitch, but what can I do :slight_smile:


(CM..Punk) #5

I’ll check it out.

…and then prolly realise that I don’t know what to do on the maps, my ping sucks, or it takes too long to download them in the first place.

I’ll check it out.

zipped up each rotation’s maps for download, for your convenience and to save them some bandwidth.

Pack for rotation 1 (36mb),
Pack for rotation 2 (26mb).

Should be everything there, should be pretty quick for anyone on either a UK or “LINX network” IP (some euro ISPs).


(CM..Punk) #8

Downloaded them all, but went to connect and it asks for a password.

Duh, 12th July… so it’s NEXT week. OK, I’ll prolly have forgotten about it by then.


(evilsock) #9

Will there be any particular night(s) when SD forum regs are thinking of playing? I still haven’t got proper access to a BB connection but if I know a night I’ll arrange something :slight_smile:


(Kendle) #10

Yep, was in use for a match last night (loaned out to another Clan). It’ll be free all next week, I just wanted to give people as much notice as possible (and time to grab the maps and have a run around them).


(eRRoLfLyNN) #11

What about a party on the Saturday night? :drink:


(evilsock) #12

Now that sounds like a plan eRRoL- I’m on BB @ the mo and downloading the map packs from DG’s host (nice one btw) - do forum ppl fancy a scrim on Saturday night? (if that’s ok with you Kendle?) - heh maybe sling together a few ad-hoc teams and have an impromptu ‘uber and unter’ night - laced heavily with beer and weed of course :wink:


(Kendle) #13

If you want it this Saturday (10th July) I can put the rotation on early, if you like. The intention was to start Monday 12th but I doubt anyone will be using it this weekend, at least not Saturday. I won’t be able to make this Saturday myself as I’ve got the in-laws coming to visit, but I’ll be around Saturday 17th.


(evilsock) #14

For myself, I’d really like to scrim with the other SD regs so I’m easy about the timing - I’d rather have it so most ppl had some notice and a chance to play the customs through a couple of times :wink:

Saturday 17th July for a ‘now we know ya’ night?


(mouse) #15

Am I regular enough to join ya on saturday (If i can play that is…)?


(eRRoLfLyNN) #16

Saturday 17th would be better for me too, but like mouse’s enquiry, how “regular” would one have to be? :???:

I suppose you could just keep tryin to connect and if ye get on great and if not… :frowning:


(mouse) #17

or lock it with a pass and post that here :slight_smile: But then my question still is, am I regular enough?


(Sauron|EFG) #18

The invitation clearly was for “anyone who’s interested”, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t be welcome mouse.

I’ll try to be there as well. :slight_smile:


(evilsock) #19

ffs - I’m regular enough so why shouldn’t you be? I’m on about the regular SD posters - the usual suspects - I’m one, your one, pgh’s one, ETPlayers one, SCDS_reyalPs one, Kendle, BB, Shrike, Salteh <- that’s just off the top of my heed and I realise I’m missing a load of ppl out but you know who you are I’m sure - the regs man, the regs - come on!


(mouse) #20
