MAPCHELLA 2014 (Coming September 18, 7 A.M. PST)

[Mendez]

If we're going by that kind of standard, then a good portion of the map packs on this list should be dropped. Legacy has enough unique maps/old versions to warrant its inclusion.

Plus, I'll finally be reunited with the old MM3 Wily room in IDM25. Still miss that girder platforming...

I'm gonna go ahead and remove I-pack v3 since IX-legacy pack has all the old maps I was looking for.  Not gonna remove IX-legacy or some of the lesser-quality map packs though because I still think some of them are fun to play on.

Also, I've noticed that it's hard for some people to get the mapping jam file because doomseeker refuses to grab it. The reason doomseeker refuses to download it is because of the + in the filename which makes wadseeker act funny. I've taken the liberty of re-uploading the file under the name "mm8bdm-mapping-jam-1.pk3" so that it's wadseeker-friendly. You can grab the new file here, although it's basically the same as the old file, just renamed.

Because of Powered Up and CSCM being incompatible with v4/best-ever, as well as the fact I still haven't made the config files for each day, annnnd the fact I haven't had enough time to finish an AMP map for Mapchella, I'm going to have to delay Mapchella 2 until next thursday to get all of that sorted out. I'll need to talk with Mess about making the PU expansion v4-compatible, although I could always rip the maps from PU and CSCM and compile a small map pack specifically for mapchella. I might just end up doing that. Sorry for the delay, but aging map packs won't restore themselves!

won't that mean hosts will have to rehost the jam with the rename?

[Kapus]

Here's the old junk I managed to wrap up. (Supackin Base, MM8AQU Beta, Sweet Fantasy)

[fortegigasgospel]

Oh goodie, more time to finish the map I'm doing for DOS before sending it over.

[Mendez]

Just managed to finish converting the PU expansion into a map pack without the custom weapons, but with all the hazards still in place. Charge Buster was replaced with duo fist, Time Slow PU was replaced with core Time Slow, and Roll Swing was just replaced with Tango (or nothing in some cases). You can grab this new map pack here. This should make PU hostable for mapchella, since the PU expansion itself wasn't updated to v4. If Myroc could update it to v4 within a week, I'd be super greatful, but otherwise I'll just go with the map pack I made. Gonna go and tackle CSCM next, which should be as easy as removing MM5CHAX (which has allegedly been causing crashes), the ACS file (which tampers with people using sr50), and renaming it something that the best-ever mods won't suspect is cscmremixed-v5b.pk3

[skully]

Heh, its funny that this is on the 18th,

Anyway, i'm preparing a *bad* mappack for you guys to use.

[Knux]

It depends of your definition of bad, but please don't throw garbage our way, thank you.

[Mendez]

"please don't throw garbage our way"
>our way
I thought I was the only one running this even though ): In any case, I'm fine with more maps being thrown my way, as long as they're compatible with v4 and don't use huuuuuge music files. Send it to me before the 18th, por favor

[Mendez]

After a grueling process of going through every single map and seeing which maps would be refreshing/interesting/unique/fun/good to play on, I've compiled my whole schedule and will now start the process of making the config files to host all these maps. Note that the individual maps are not included since they will be hosted for all 4 days and rarely come up. In any case, hope you folks enjoy the schedule.

Sunday: All-in

Edit: I'm sad nobody noticed that I removed bropack and the roboenza pack from the list ): I decided to replace JAM17 with JAM18 and KNDM14 with KNDM20 on the playlist. Also forgot to add DOS, which will be played on Thursday. Finally, I updated the list of map packs to include an UPDATED version of Blaze's pack, as well as the DOS pack itself. Mapchella is only a few days away, but I'm completely on schedule to have it run smoothly when it starts this Thursday.

[Magnet Dood]

As long as Vortale's ballin' maps are playable, I'm good with this schedule. KD's a peus for not including them in duel (except for the Cloud one).

I'm actually pretty excited for this- can't wait for it to start. Hope I'll be able to play it all three days!

[Mendez]

Alright folks, finally finished uploading the last components needed to host mapchella, which includes:
-A collection of independent maps that I thought were pretty cool/were submitted to me
-CSCM-v5b (Don't tell the best-ever mods, shhhhhh)
-ANOTHER edit to Blaze's map pack, which should be the last edit needed
-a compatibility file for RNC and the holidays collection
With all of that settled, I think I'm completely ready to host this thing. Thanks a whole bunch to Kapus, Knux, Shade Guy, Maxine, ForteGigasGospel, and other great mappers for helping me prepare for this event! Mapchella starts in less than 12 hours, provided the server testing goes fine.

Edit: I REAAAALLYYYY recommend everyone download the map packs beforehand, so that best-ever doesn't implode trying to handle all the download requests
Edit 2: Please delete and redownload the rnc-holiday compat file, as well as the indies collection file, I forgot to add the markers "PP_START" and "PP_END" to them

[Mendez]

Cutstuff community... it's here.

Some small announcements I need to make:
-I need an individual host for sunday since best-ever is unable to host all the maps at the same time
-The holidays collection, as well as the gameboy map pack, have been permanently removed from the playlist for compatibility issues with v4 that I didn't know about at the time
-I've updated the links to Rozpack and Lilypack to the latest version. Thankfully, since they're being hosted on Saturday, you'll all still be able to play on the most recent version of these map packs.
-Fun is still mandatory, and I've selected another person to have rcon while I'm not around
With that out of the way, enjoy Mapchella!

[Mendez]

Friday's server is now up! In case you needed the schedule again...

It seems a little small because I removed the holidays collection and the gameboy map pack, so I'm gonna go ahead and add ALL of the jam maps into the playlist so that it feels a bit more varied

[Kapus]

Ah, CSCM. Nostalgia.

Looking forward to Dog Man's stage again. It's been far too long.

..Wait, isn't CSCM15 Dog Man? Is it not in the rotation?

[Knux]

Lego's maps weren't in rotation yesterday either, despite the pack being hosted. I demand a re-hosting of Lego's pack today.
