Map submission thread

[Eruanna]

I already got in touch with Kashtanka and got his permission to use the map. The only map I'm missing approval for now is the Nostalgic Memories map. It's a shame, because it's a good map.

Well, if no one comes up and says anything, maybe you can just add it anyway and leave the author field "unknown", but just maybe.  I'm pretty sure the author wouldn't even mind it being official anyway, but still.

[Eruanna]

You are probably right - but I am going to make a concerted effort to get in touch with the author anyway. I had planned that but I was going to wait a while to do that - and even much longer than I already have.

Maybe the mystery identity will reveal himself after his map is out, who knows. lol

In any case, with my moral beliefs, it is kinda his own fault if he did not credit himself, as releasing his work into the public like that kinda makes it public domain. No name = no one to say what you can do with what.



[EDIT] You know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and go forward and add it. If it proves to be a bad decision, at least the author of the map will finally make himself known.

Ah, i think i got a fair bit of all those old maps on my computer. Its like a museum for GVH things in there! I could try and search and upload some of those old map submissions, though i assume you could ask the author(s) (bighead, others) about them as well.

Could try and help out with any other old, old file requests. I've been around since the start of GVH anyway. Hard to miss any gvh-related files, especially when it didnt even have its own maps at all! Ah, what a difference it is from now...
Edit: Might as well put it here; no clue who made that gvh37 or something map though. It doesnt seem that old either.

For now I'm pretty solid on what maps I want to release. If you give me another map pack it won't be in until next release.

I think 8 (or possibly 9) is quite enough for a single release don't you? :P

But yeah, if you go ahead and dig those up, it would be appreciated, there might be some more to include later on.

What maps, do you have Bighead's maps?  It would be really nice if you did upload them.  And I'm all outta maps, those were the only ones I had heh.  Can't wait for the new release, I bet its gonna be sweet.

[CarThief]

Suppose i might as well put a link to a collection of old maps i've uploaded. Some of them seem to be already in GVH, no idea if there's anything of use in it though. Oh, and no clue who the authors are, aside a few files or its contents being named after their authors, like bighead.
Suppose it would be best to ask them first before using those or so.

Thanks Carthief, your the best.  I've been dying to play these maps again, and I went through so much googling and running into dead links, when I could of just posted here and asked I guess.  I'll see what maps are in here for now, then I'll check the rest of them out.

[Eruanna]

I'll take a look at these, but I can guarantee none of them will make it in until after next release.

There are 4 new maps in that pack, the others are old versions of the current maps.  They are Space Pyramid, Isolation, Target Practice, and The X Zone.  It's my first time seeing the x zone, It's got a pretty eerie feeling to it I guess, but may not be suitable for all classes.  The hallways seem to be a bad place to go, because they're kinda cramped.  But other than that I kinda like the map.  The other 3 are pretty nostalgic, which reminds me that the first version of Isolation had a different music lump called D_AGRESS, which can be found in the gvhspecialmappack.zip, in the bigheadpack, I liked that music better than the other one but other people may not.
