Mapping Team

[Wesley]

Before we can public with this idea, some things will need to be done:

• Set up an IRC Channel (#lvp.maps) semi-done
  
• Create a forum board that mappers will get access to
  
• Create a list of rules that mappers must keep in mind
  
• Fix the CObject::Move bug
  

Anything else?

First of all I wouldn't mind having a chat with Peter to see if he ever finished his object streaming plugin. If so we could even enable the Haystack. It would also improve performance, fix an issue with the object movement and jail island, and offer a lot more flexibility to mappers.

But I think this should be done first:

• Fix map zone 4 and 5 (bunnytrack maps)
  
• Improve Bunnytrack map support
  
• Add mapzone 5 (already mapped out, just needs adding to the handler)
  
• Add a new "tip" system which shows players random tips in a textdraw about map zones to help promote it
  
• Possible add "stunts" somewhere in the hostname, or even create an extra rule using Y_Less' plugin for it

I still think BunnyTrack will be better as a separate gamemode, but that's not really important atm.

If the mapping team could include about 3-5 people, we could really get some work done. Would be nice if every two weeks (alongside the development updates) there could be one or more new maps. These could be rated by users or crew to filter out the bad ones.

The streamer is the most important indeed. Non-visible objects or even missing objects ruin the experience. There are some object streamers already available, perhaps we could use an existing one?

And I definitely miss haystack Such an awesome minigame!

Well, we were planning on using Boylett's, but Peter insisted on writing a better, quicker one. I remember him discussing it and even saying he just had one more minor issue to fix. But yea without proper streaming it's never going to work.

Is it just stunt maps? or can it be like those bunny walk things, I'm sorta interested in mapping some of those, could be fun.

[21:13] <%Chillosophy> wondering: will it just be stuntmaps or other things too?
[21:13] <@Jay> Stunt / Jumps / Bunnytracks?

Odd how we thought of the same question the exact same minute

Haha that is a bit odd, but I guess my question is answered then
