ZoomerPack - Alpha Release

Hello Megamanners of all kinds, us new(ish) mappers have been working on a new map pack comprised of textures and songs of multiple (not just 8bit!) origins!
If you would like to know more about Zoomerpack (Credits, Sources, and possibly even about joining it if you are interested), please check the README-General.txt
within the pk3.
(Keep in mind, this is deemed a Alpha release for a reason, so please report any bugs or weird mishaps of any kind to me and/or the mappers participating)

The entire map piece needs to fit inside a 1024x1024 square. The idea is that you are just making one set piece (not just a tiny 1024x1024 map) that other mappers will eventually incorporate into their maps. In turn, you'll receive 2 other mappers' pieces, and use those to make an entire map.

Swag, thanks for the info

By map pieces, do you mean just sectors? Or do you mean the map cannot be over that size?
Either way I'll probably join in just to see how things go.

MM8BDM Discussion / Re: Bad Map Design (Discussion on what makes some of the current maps bad)

I do believe in the idea that if it's good in a non-objective based team mode (tlms, tdm, the likes), it's good for lms and dm. It's why I don't like the talk about a map only being based on dm, especially in a game like this where team modes correlate good maps (MM9DW1 MM7DW1 MM8DUO MM5DAR are all great for team modes and deathmatch).

MM8BDM Discussion / Bad Map Design (Discussion on what makes some of the current maps bad)

« on: October 28, 2020, 05:59:28 PM »

So I was sitting there, swagging like a true gamer, when I realized some of these maps are kinda dog water. So, instead of making empty complaints on the Unofficial MM8BDM server, I'm starting a thread where I'll be hand picking the maps that I have qualms with.

How am I gonna criticize these maps? Simple. Using this swagger "Bad Map Design Sin list" I've created with a few people (Mendez and Lil Gibton mainly), I will go into details onto how they break some of the rules and commit the sins I've listed. The Sin list can be found in this link:
https://pastebin.com/XXfyLwmQ
It goes over the sins of mapping, as well as what maps avoid the sins.

I'll most likely be using Pastebin for a majority of my posts too, just to make it easier on me when writing up my complaints.
If you got problems with my opinions on the maps, I'm open to discussion about these maps. That is to say, you don't also do empty complaints on my opinions (Such as: Just adapt, It was only made for deathmatch, etc. If you wanna prove that a map is good, please give a logical explanation and reasoning behind it).

When i try to connect to an online game, it says that i am using a different/older version of zandronum than the server is using. Could someone please tell me how i can upgrade to 2040 without messing up my game?
