Topic: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

Hello Tees,

First let me say that every time i post a topic in the forum a few hours lather i say it's going to be my last one, but i guess it never stops no matter what... mad love 4 TW ^^

OK, back on track: I didn't stole this idea, i was thinking about it 1 year ago but i never really did anything. After I've seen the topic map pack (no offense) but... so many maps separated by different links aren't bad... for a catalog, right? I posted this in it:

http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/hiphopblond123/TeeWorlds/Other/MapPackSuggestion.jpg

As u see 3+ is up so i archived it ready for use.

Info on the pack:

This pack contains all mostly used maps downloaded from 2 years till now, I've picked the most hosted maps for a gamer to use (either host on their server or play without needing to download).

Maps are passed on from CD's flash drives and hard drives by the periods, and the archive is made in best quality option so it will give u no errors (no password).

So either u wanna host a server or you hate downloading, this is for you smile

Instructions:

Just download the archive and extract it in your C:\D:\E:\(or whatever your windows installation drive is)\Documents and Settings\Administrator (or whatever your username is)\Application data\teeworlds\downloaded maps

Extract/Replace all (this is the default directory for vanilla and most clients). I believe Linux users don't need explanation.

MAPS ARE OLD, PROJECT IS CLOSED

Would be nice if you could give a list of all maps in the folder (you can program some little bash application or something like that to generate it automatically)

Erm.

Oh btw, not "All in 1" but "Many in 1", since nobody has ALL the maps (There are private maps, unreleased maps, etc).
2000 maps?
You might want to check for multiple maps, since there probably are around 500 ORIGINAL maps, and 1500 edits of them :>

Edit: oh btw, for all linux users, the teeworlds config folder is located at "/home/username/.teeworlds/", just incase you didn't know :3

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

You can download all maps at once, if you want, but I think it is a bad idea. You will never play 90% of these maps. Most of these maps are probably horribly bad.
If you want to play on a server, you will download only the map you need. And good maps usually have less than 50kB, so it is very fast to download them.
Kottizen has made a site where he uploaded every map he could find to download seperately, so if you are seaching for a specific map, you can look there, so you don't need to download more than 200MB just to find one map.

aka cheesy

Yes, nobody has all the maps, BUT i guess we could achieve that if we all combine whatever we have. I'm specially talkin' @ Kottizen (hope he reads it).

I don't think a multiple check is necessary since nowadays PC's have bout 300... 400... Or even half terrabite hard disks and edited maps aren't that much... they are like 200 out of 2000 + U can't tell which server is using which edit wink

I don't think so, ppl play many mods, which require many maps (especially DDRace).

U know, u should really pay more respect to mappers! I am a mapper myself and i can tell you it's not easy coming up with ideas, waisting some much time and so on.

It might be fast, it might be slow, they might be big, they might me small. U can't tell how good a map is from it's size.

I guess we can try working together and making a catalog of all maps, an archive of all the maps in the catalog and a sideline where we give credits to the mappers in the same web site, but he doesn't like me much and i don't think this will ever happen.

I don't really think someone will start searching for a specific map... :-/

If anyone wants to send some maps to help this pack:

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

Dont see any reason why workin on 2 map-collections.
Ask if you can kottizen help out, it would be a better solution.
btw: /sign grummi
ok, i got about 500 GB, however i dont see any reason to waste my time with downloading 50GB only for teeworlds and only for some maps.

and...good maps are using the official tilesets and have about 50kib.

ps: gz, i made some maps too

Yeah, u obviously don't like reading...

First of all: I can't ask him... we aren't 2 friendly, you can ask him for me and I'll send all the files, as long as he promise not only to upload the maps separatedly, but to add a link to download the whole archive!

Second: Hmm is it just me or you don't have no idea what u're talkin' bout :?

What is the difference between 50 GB and 256 MB? Hmm? Yes smile IT'S 50944 MB u moron smile
Well it will get 1 GB next week but that's still far from 50, don't u think smile

And don't u forget smile - NOBODY IS ASKING YOU TO DOWNLOAD THEM

Third: Some "official" tilesets are more then 50 kb's, imagine if we use more then one yikes

P.S.: Good 4 u?

I really hate those replies. If you post a topic there, do not expect only positive feedback. If your idea suck, people will tell you it does, assume your work.

50GB = far too big = 256MB. Era Qua Demonstratum

What slayer was using is stylistic device called exaggeration... only to let u know wink

And yes... spending time on 2 map collection is just a waste of time

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

Now listen, i don't wanna quote anyone! I just sometimes get more then pissed of...

@Dune: I never expected positive posts (especially in this forum, no offense).

Offtopic: Your game client rulez :-|

@Sushi Tee: Even if he wanted to say in some twisted way that there is no point in downloading this, that there is no point in sharing from our hard disks to play tw without downloading and having the f*****g history of this game it's ok, but saying it like 50 GB's is NOT!

- I don't think it's useless if i combine my 6000 maps (yes they are f*****g 6000 different maps in my folder o.O) with Kottizen's catalog and we add all of them on he's server + an all in 1 download link it will be not so useless as all famous on-line multi-player games have a map pack download, this will help attract more players, yesterday i swear i saw 1000 players in the servers o.O. Believe you me TW is going B.I.G. and this is NOT a bad idea!

After everything is complete admins can make the topic (kottizen's one) important so ppl have a map catalog and an all in one download, we will try and provide weekly updates. I'll talk with him... I'll try...

Thx 4 your posts... positive or negative, I'm just happy that they are still ppl that... - give a f**k.

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

If you want this idea, maybe you should make it a .torrent file so we can select which files we want before downloading (i know utorrent and bittorrent can)

If you really want to make a map pack like other multi player games, you should select a few good maps. Maybe make a map pack for vanilla, one for race, one for insta etc.
Nobody wants to download 1GB of maps. Most of them will never be used, and the others will be downloaded anyway when you join a server.

First: I was an uploader 2 years in one of the biggest torrent trackers in my country smile.

Second: I've had it with uploading making descriptions uploading pics forming bb code, moding or whatever...

Third: Your idea sucks because not everyone have torrent clients, yes utorrent is still the best and i recommend it but then again ppl think they are too much viruses (especially windows users) and they are afraid. Besides who will waste so much time to pick maps out of 6000.... u gotta be kidding me.

Sorry, bad idea.

Unlike alias your idea is great!

I will provide a [Server MAP-PACK] uploading the classic, the general, and the most played maps on all TW mods separated by folders (which will take me more time which i don't have so expect everything to be ready... 2morrow is my birthday ^^ the day after 2morrow)

Soo expect a:

[Mega MAP-PACK] download - including almost all tw maps forming approximately 6000 maps 1 GB big

And a:

[Server MAP-PACK] download - containing the most general classic and used maps in tw mods separated by folders.

I will provide a number count under all packs.

And FINALLY mb Kottizen will agree to share all maps + all packs on he's server providing a link to them...

Thx for all the ideas/support!

I loled. Tell me some vanilla servers which use custom maps instead of the official ones.

The idea to create a nice database with screenshots from each map is awsome but huge task.

I see qualitee ( i luv that pun) dropping, when it comes to decide which maps are provided through a map pack and which not. Its about personal taste if you like or dont like a map.

There was once the "TeeQual" Project, which kinda rated a map by a system and provided a certain standard.Sadly this project is dead. But if a team set up some rules how a "TeeQual" map ( depending on each gametype) should be, would help huge map archives a lot to have a certain level of quality.

General speaking: Teeworlds ( speaking of vanilla) gives a shit on custom maps.

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

I think we need this feature: https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/ … #issue/134

Because we wouldnt have to download a tileset twice with this, so maps would be smaller. (The tilesets must be downloaded seperatly)

Re: [MAP-PACK] All in 1 Download [CLOSED]

I've changed my mind and I won't upload a compressed file with all the maps, since it's just too useless. As grummi said, people won't play 90% of the maps and I don't think anyone would like to download 300 MB just to get one map.

(Took the freedom to apply the 30 maps in your collection I didn't have.)
