Changes in the Mapchecksystem #4
Hi guys,
after things havent been working out so great at kreedz.com, mainly because many of the important people left, the mappingteam & mappingchecking is moved to XJ again:
1. Because it's better if everything is at the same place.
2. Kreedz.com lost motivated people to keep the site & system running.
Let's hope that this is the last change for a long time and the "period of confusion" is over by today.
We didn't only change the sites; there are some changes in the system and lineup, too:
- No more beta checks. If you submit your map you will get it accepted or denied in 1 week. If it gets denied we will tell you the reasons, of course, what makes it almost a beta check! But please don't abuse it, we won't bother to test uber buggy maps at all!
Important: The maps that were in beta check status will have to be re-submitted, because we thought it wasn't fair to put them into the final votes since they are BETA. (The final maps got moved directly... this means kzlt_dementia, (kz)_cg_islands & (kz)_senskz_toonblock).
- We've set up a brand new gameserver to test the maps with the mapper if necessary (to show bugs etc.) AND to have a very cool and new opportunity to play the maps the night BEFORE they get released with some invited people. This has 2 advantages: A bunch of people can test the maps and maybe discover bugs that couldn't be found at LANgame testing within the mapteam. Also we can see how the map is doing "in action". If you want to be invited for such test sessions just be around and active over the whole place. We will commonly pick such people at first.
- This is the rest of the old team, and therefore the new team, that will handle the mapsubmissions and mapchecks in the future: FragMcCracken, SUBLIME, omilo, Z0ck3rOO7, radon, Simplicity, faker.
Moxx is going to assist as best as possible with mappingquestions, too! And remember: You are still more than welcome to join #mappers to get help and answers if you have mapping questions.
Important: We are looking for some fresh blood, means dedicated people that feel interested in taking part in the mapcheck process. If you want to contribute and help the community to get good quality maps in the future THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!
If you want to be in the team just write a comment under this news and answer the following questions:
- Why do you want to be in the team?
- Why do you think we should pick you? Are you qualified?
- How much time are you willing to spend on this job?
You can also contact one of the mapadmins in IRC or via email if you prefer that way.
Once again... lets hope you like the changes and especially the mappers are happy with the new system :)
