A New MapPack from the Council of Modders

[thamlett]

Greetings from the Council of Modders!
As you may already know, the Council of Modders exists in order to put some organization behind different mods. We also have the benefit of being recognized by the staff from Wildfire Games.
In an effort to make our mods as good as possible and to include the work of other people, we would like to include custom maps in our mods. Our idea is twofold, being:
1) That skilled mapmakers from among you be selected and asked to make exclusive maps for different mods
2) To conglomerate a large amount of custom maps into their own mod, known as MapPack. When the game is started with this mod, the custom maps will be available for gameplay.
The idea behind MapPack is to provide a place and standard version for custom maps. Then, when MapPack is released with a set version of all of the custom maps, games in the lobby need named with the MapPack version number in order to specify the version of MapPack needed to provide compatability between players (ie, “thamlett’s game (MP v2)” would specify that thamlett’s game requires all players have MapPack version 2). Please remember that maps will be checked for quality and balancing.

We ask that those who would like to submit their maps for MapPack do so here (http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18906&page=0).

If you would like to suggest a mapmaker for the exclusive maps, or volunteer yourself, please do so here (http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18907).

We at the Council know that is very important to give credit where credit is due. Therefore, all contributors to each mod and to MapPack will be given a place in the credits and a new List of Contributors.

Thank you for your participation. If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact us in our subforum.

The Council of Modders
