A Bridge Too Far was a cool map if you can find it somewhere.

MightyZo0K · 2013-04-21 14:59:38

Schneemann, Cherbourg, Murmansk, Sylt, Giza and Al Jarah are really good for public server

HoOK · 2013-04-21 23:27:25

I have this map:
304 fields of the fallen
its inf map..
I will upload screen shots if needed

tuia · 2013-04-21 23:41:38

It's not needed. If you have played some of these custom maps, please give your opinion what are the best maps to pick for a public server.

Just wondering, where did you get names of all these maps? Actually there are around 1500 custom maps for BF1942 ever created or even more.
I played most of maps from list, there are some really good:

Dukla Pass
North Sea Docks
Operation Sylt Enh
Supply line
The Great Pursuit
UN Ihantala

I've played and tested a large number of other maps also so I can offer some which are the best from my pov:

Assault On Crete
Burma
Corregidor
Island Of Horror
Karden Khaos
Rheinmetall Panzer
Toujane Tunisia
Ural Foothills
When Trumpets Fade
Xhaos Lake

P.S. I have 8 GB of custom maps on my HD

tuia · 2013-04-22 11:19:58

Thank you very much! I got most maps from selected mappacks and I've found a lot of custom maps here:
http://www.gau-games.de/?download&kategorie=400
http://www.bf-games.net/downloads/categ … -maps.html
http://www.fileplanet.com/100077/0/section/Maps
http://www.gamefront.com/files/listing/ … /Conquest/

Based on your opinions, I'll add around 30 maps to installer. I haven't played any of custom maps in public servers and don't have time to test them all out, so I'm asking for your help.
I found A bridge too far map, it's going to be added. What is Supply line map? This version from Fizzy: http://www.fizzynet.net/Maps_BF1942.html
Those other maps from Fizzy also look great. I've found some times two or more versions of the map, like Benghazi, Nuenen and Supply Line, it's confusing.

That version is the latest "official"

Yeah, they are perfectly made, but I'm not sure players will enjoy playing them. Battle of the Philippine Sea, for example, actually is extended Midway, Battle for Agedabia and The Road To Berlin are too big for small number of players, etc.

tuia · 2013-04-22 12:58:46

I have picked these maps for now:

A bridge too far
Al Jarah
Battle for Guam
Battle for Korsun SE
Battle of Hurtgen Forest
Burma
Cherbourg
Dukla Pass
Giza
Murmansk
North Sea Docks
Nuenen
Operation Forager
Operation Sylt Enh
Reichsbahn
Remagen
SaintSauveur
Schneemann
Supply line
Tigerpass
The Great Pursuit
UN Ihantala
Ural Foothills
Xhaos Lake

What do you think? Should any be removed? Too many infantry maps?
I can't find some of those maps you listed. Can you upload them, please? In .7z package.

HoOK · 2013-04-22 13:36:22

my opinion is to use small maps to fit server players number

tuia · 2013-04-22 13:41:08

Not necessarily. Pick the best custom maps for 32 players.

I'd remove Kasserine, it's too big and boring...

I'll try to upload them today.

Do you really like it? Looks terrible, psychedelic environment... For inf geeks only who don't care about anything

tuia · 2013-04-22 15:26:08

Yes, Kasserine is way too big.
What about Tigerpass and Corsica? Should they be included?

Its a really nice infantry map.

Bender · 2013-04-22 16:00:53

who will play custom map... and this on public servers??

tuia, pls check the logs of server population and consider about a second vanilla-server with 1.612 or pb.

tuia · 2013-04-22 16:07:28

They will be played on New Maps server. I have an idea to make it happen, but then you can't change the maps picked. That's why it's important now to get the best maps chosen.

tuia · 2013-04-23 11:38:26

After a long map test, these are the maps I've selected:

Infantry action

Island of Horror
Karden Khaos
Murmansk
Operation Forager
Rheinmetall Panzer
Toujane Tunisia
UN Ihantala

Tank action

Battle for Korsun SE
Dukla Pass
Reichsbahn
Russlandsturm
The Great Pursuit
Tigerpass

Mixed action

Assault on Crete
Battle for Guam
Burma
Dambuster
Faid Pass
Giza
Liberation of Nuenen
Marshall Island
North Sea Docks
Operation Mallard
Operation Sylt Enh
Remagen
Ural Foothills
When Trumpets Fade

Some will have to be removed from the list, because of the size of the package. What do you think? Any map missing? Remove any maps?

sunny-штаны, can you upload your Corregidor file, please? I could not find a working Corregidor map file. It gave an error while loading map.

Zody · 2013-04-23 11:57:38

What´s with Battle of Africa? can´t it work with 32 players?

tuia · 2013-04-23 12:02:28

Battle of Africa I tested very quickly and from what I read it needs to be modded to balance it.

Interesting enough that only 1. league clans complain about that. I think the map is fine as it is. nvm choose what you think is best.

ziba128 · 2013-04-23 12:15:18

Sorry, I couldn't upload maps yesterday.

All maps you asked + fixed Corregidor.

tuia · 2013-04-23 12:18:14

Thank you! Does Rheinmetall Panzer lag for you? I can't play inside the factory without lag.
Did you fix Corregidor by yourself or you downloaded it somewhere? It's a nice Pacific map.

I have small FPS drop on my notebook with 64 MB video memory Maybe it's caused by big number of lightmaps.
Fixed Corregidor by myself, there was an error which ran AI in conquest mode.

Can anyone suggest a good icon for New Maps installer? I have these 3 icons:

dary · 2013-04-23 16:37:24

the first one makes the most sense

tuia · 2013-04-23 16:48:06

Ok, thanks! Then, it's finished. 27 maps squeezed in less than 500 MB file.
