Topic: SERVER ADMINS: PLEASE SET THIS AS YOUR DEFAULT MAP LIST

We've seen quite a few servers now which seem to have 64p maps.  Unfortunately most of our games are all 32p.  This is especially a problem if the server is set to 24 or 32p (drunkenmasters, les viperes, RT, wolfgaming). 

As such, here's a list we'd prefer you chaps have as your default map list.  It can be in any order but the playersize settings for the maps are very important.  All of our maps are balanced to handle specifically the playercount they are rated for.  Going higher than that means you end up with far too many flags or vehicles and not enough players.  If in doubt, go down rather than up in map size as our 16p maps can handle 32p, but our 64p maps CANNOT handle 24 or 32p players.

Here's the list we recommend (it is the default list distributed with the server files also if you want to quickly just grab it from there.)  Order is at your discretion but these are the sizes of maps we recommend at the current time regardless of how many players your server supports:


tatooine_mosespa 32p
Encounter_at_mos_entha 32p
battle_of_taloraan 32p
rhen_var_research_labs 32p
Escape_from_hoth 16p
battle_of_ryloth 32p
endor_clearing 32p
endor_strike_team 32p
battle_of_yavin 32p
tatooine_bestine 16p
rhen_var_ice_plains 32p
imperial_convoy_raid 32p

Oh, and it should be mentioned this mod was designed for teamdamage to be On.  Things can get unbalanced and exploits can develop if it isn't.

"rhen_var_research_labs 16p"

If that is the version with the west flank taken out. I wholeheartedly agree. Some of my favourite games have been on that version.

EDIT .. err East flank* (I think)

My only objection is escape from hoth. The capital ships on the larger versions make the gameplay much more interesting. big_smile

Re: SERVER ADMINS: PLEASE SET THIS AS YOUR DEFAULT MAP LIST

my 2c is to have Bestine at 64 player- so we can use the whole city. I won't fly into a fit , but I'd hate for large portions of this excellent map to be jettisonned just to accommodate a smaller pack of players- I feel it usually works well as is.

Changed taloraan to 32p.

Also changed research labs to 32p, though either 16 or 32p works.  just DON"T make it 64p please
