I don't like Torlan or Primevel but at this point I wouldn't care if they were on the server. Good luck.

I fully support the addition of Torlan. Original/Vanilla Torlan with any vehicle combinition.

You doing the Torlan maps Pooty?

stock Torlan

Maybe this will help breakup the standard vote pattern a little.

You're correct Bing, I am not around much. As for "handing over the reigns to Analog", I've never held them exclusively. All those years when I was around but
not playing ? Analog held the reigns and wasn't around much in those times.

As for your last line, it may be what you feel but it's entirely misguided. For years and years Analog, Pi (I don't know where he's gone.. .sigh) and myself
have understood that all three of us were there to guide Omni forward together after The Boss packed it in; it was always a collaborative situation. And
yes, I did bear and shoulder the majority of the load so it may appeared that I was "the man" or whatever label you wish to attach.

Again, so it's crystal clear, Analog is around here about as much as I have been recently, if I make an inquiry of him regarding anything it can take weeks
for him to respond. I'm not criticizing him, merely illustrating that neither of us visit all that often (although I've tried to check in once a week in the last
few). If I don't respond it's usually because I don't feel it's necessary. Additionally, Annie is not afraid of stepping on my toes, our little posse of three
two doesn't subscribe to any sort of hierarchy.

As for Torlan, it was banished from the server eons ago because it just wasn't big enough. Additionally, because it didn't have an s(t)uper vehicles, the
prospect of it being in the map list was met with much teeth gnashing and many temper tantrums. However, at this stage with the playing population
dwindling I'll put whatever maps people want on the server.

Why cant all the maps be made available all the time? with a cool down period of course, I wouldn't want any maps to overheat

Sure. That means every time a vote comes up you're going to have to go through approximately 600 maps to
make your choice. That doesn't work which is exactly why we truncated the map selections into three separate
map packs. But hey, I don't play so it won't effect me. If you guys/gals want every map available I can do so
(although I'm won't be overly happy about pulling them off the redirects, un-uz2'ing and then uploading them
all to the server).

As I alluded to in another post, this is like UT2K4's version of Groundhog Day for me.

Please don't give up on this server any time soon Carpe. Seems like shortly after my post about the server "going to shit" (which was certainly not meant to be denigrating toward you or Analog, just a comment on the current state of affairs) that the server has somewhat come back to life. There's been full or nearly full rosters on several nights the last couple weeks. Could be that it's just normally a little more active in Summer months, I dunno, but hoping that all the talk about some potential new admins and changing up the pool of maps is getting people to log back on, if just to see if things are changing and being paid attention to. Seems like many of the shitbag chat trolls that do nothing useful in a match have taken a break too.

Speaking of new admins, have you given any thought to that? Seems like most folks on the forum are in agreement with the few names I threw out, except maybe McLovin for some reason. Sounds like most of those are personal beefs, but it kinda surprised me that so many poo-pooed on nominating him. I would have understood that reaction if I had nominated myself, which even I think is laughable, but McLovin?

You doing the Torlan maps Pooty?

Maybe I'll do the Mino-Me up and put deemers in every locker. And a Tiamat in the core.



Seriously though I might. I've tried to get my head around the map editor, but moving the playing field wireframes/textures seems to escape me...in fairness haven't spent much time on it, but I think doing vehicle replacements shouldn't be too hard. I think with some of the right vehicles Torlan could be fun..the mino is too powerful and could likely shoot all the way across the map....


I'm all for map variety. I think Carpe has a point with too many the scrolling/finding/remembering gets too hard...what's Denum? Bridge of Fate? Evergreen?

The easiest way to do this is to find the vehicle you want in the editor copy it and paste it into the map you want it to be on.

You won't need to myLevel anything if you do it that way.

While I appreciate Torlan32p being added, my original request still stands. I think it needs to be basic demo torlan. If i'm the obnoxious minority on this one I'll let it go, but in this 32p version the node setup makes no sense and there are too many vehicles.

Having two primaries with one having its secondary across the map kills the original vibe and tactics.

Also, all the add-on vehicles makes them not special.

The original map can almost be played on foot and a vehicle is a rare threat that needs to be dealt with by team communication (calling out the tank etc).


Anyway, if i'm alone on this then that's fine, but i'd really like a shot at normal stock demo 2004 dvd disc 56k modem torlan


Side note: it was interesting to see differnet Omni player's styles on this map

In the FB OMNI group Carpe mentioned he was open to adding more maps, since the game is in its "twilight years".

Criteria:
1. As long as they are in the public domain.
2. Not on somebody's else's server and maps that they created, DW for example. Even tho it's a pretty-much dead server with some cool maps, their maps are untouchable because it would be a douche move to take them while that server is still up and running. We should all go over there and play them.

The suggestion was made to open a thread here for people's suggestions for adding maps back in.
