Mendez and his silly maps that no one hosts because yes

[Mendez]

Maps made so far:
AMP99 - Kengine.

This one map I made based on a Jeff Mangum song, and a certain player. Included in AMP as AMP14.

AMPCTF - Daft Dynamic.

(click to show/hide)

Crazy concept, crazy map. Included in TBGCTF as TTTBG6.

So yeah, since AMP is out, I figure I could continue to make maps for the hell of it. Anyways, this is screenshots of a map I might release soon, called "Kengine". It's my little map that plays with 3d floors to try and create some sort of interesting layout. Here's to work.

For I am an engine, and I'm holding on.

I feel I'm too serious with my maps.

Someday, I'll get that piston to work.

Skybox subject to change.

I'm probably gonna get a link up in a little bit, but that's after working with scripts and item locations. God ffffffffffff scripts.

Maybe you can put this in the same topic with AMP?

[Hallan Parva]

Looking good, man. Here's to mapping success!

... Oh yeah, what will you do with these maps? Will you add them to AMP once you build up a good number (3~5) like Messatsu and his CSCM? Even though AMP kicks CSCM in the FUCKING NUTS

[Mendez]

I'll only bump that mediocre map pack when I release something for it or I feel no one is hosting it so that I have to bump it to the top again with some meaningless info so that people start caring about it again. In any case, I mayyyy do that. Think of this topic as the testing grounds for potential AMP maps. Also, I feel forced to make more maps so that people even consider hosting it, because lolquantityvsquality. Once we get to 18-20 maps, we'll hope that will be enough for people to start giving a damn.

[Mendez]

With the release of the IX-pack, I can gladly say that any hopes of AMP ever getting hosted have been shot into the ground. I think AMP is compatible with IX, but I'm not sure. In any case, RIP AMP's chances of getting hosted.

Llama was right. This thing would last a week and then fade into obscurity.
IN ANY CASE, here's something I cooked up in my spare time over the course of 3 days.
AMP99 - Kengine
This may or may not be the last full custom map I ever make. With no real chance of getting hosted in the near future because lolcustomweapons, I'll most likely fix all the bugs and stuff, slice AMP09 in two, decorate a few more things, and then release a 2nd version so that I can go out on a bang. I feel like Jack Corvus right now. So if you're out there Jack, here's to you.

AMP and TBGCTF. Now in the same club.

In all honesty, CSCM is the most popular map pack if only because Messatsu has monopoly over 8BDM.

He's our cuddly evil overlord.

Impress Messatsu enough to want him to put your map pack in his servers, and he will.

Hell, IX pack will probably only be hosted by Mess for the previously incompatible X-Pack maps.

It may never get hosted by Messatsu.

It's a monopoly. What gets done is under the control of whoever chooses to take power.

I'd so host AMP if my router worked the way it should.

[Mendez]

Thanks to Obbie for testing the map with me. For folks that downloaded it the first time, the mapinfo is bugged so that means you will have to redownload it and replace the older version. That's of course if you downloaded it at all. Anyways, the map name wasn't inspired by Ken's alias, but by a song I heard by Jeff Mangum. Naming it Kengine was just a little pun that came after.

[Max]

Release AMP-V2
Release YD's coolio AMP-PU patch
Beg Messatsu
????
Hosted!

[Balrog]

Regarding this whole monopoly thing....

I have a friend of mine who has FiOS (Verizon's fiber internet in case you live under a rock) at his dad's house. Maybe I'll try and extort him into hosting some test servers.

Hurrah for ignored map packs  

[BiscuitSlash]

Don't worry Jack, I still host TBGCTF pack!

But really, why was I not seeing any MMV/MM8-10 weapons? THAT MA- errrr....just put them back in, okay? It was much more enjoyable with those weapons and it barely caused much  compatibility problems! Please Jack! I want to use that flash bomb again!

I've yet to meet one who can outsmart compatibility.

Okay yes, Lego DID make patches. But for the MM8-10 weapons I'd have to give some damage tweaks, so it MIGHT go back in.

Jack, I think a lot of more people would play those maps more if you actually listened to the critique the very same people gives you. Alright, so CTF is an underplayed mode, sure, but I think the main reason as to why it isn't as hosted as it usually is is because the map quality is rather dubious. No offense, I like some of them, but they could all use minor or major improvements, any you have a tendency to ignore by replying "it's fine". While you do reserve the last right to judge whether a certain feature in your map is good or bad, it's at least worth to think through the suggestions provided. Gods know I do (or try, at least).

On a completely different subject, what do you need to have compability for? Any pack that add any extra weapons most often need maps to put them on, which are as far as I know, all non-CTF in the packs I know of. The only thing I can think of is Classes, and Classes CTF is rather imbalanced as it is (and probably will still be questionable once the Doc Robot flag carrier is implemented).

[Ivory]

Another way to look at it.

If one person says "X" is a problem. You can look at the "X" problem and decide if  it's actually a problem or not.

If a bunch of players says "X" is a problem. Then generally, something is a problem.

[BiscuitSlash]

You don't have to release the next version with my 3 teams map in it, mainly since it will take awhile and I need time to think on whether or not it's worth it. All the harsh map crititsism going around shoves me the wrong way a little.

Also I will remind you that the TBG map pack is the only reason I really bother hosting CTF. No offence to anyone of course, but I really do like the maps and to me they make CTF mode fun.
