The TBF2 map team does not exist anymore.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

Is there a kind of 'official' deadline for the submission?

No just try to make sure it is close to your final map and then you can submit it, we will be distributing many mappacks in the months to come.

What's the name of the server that these "map packs" will be played on?

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

I think the idea is that TotalBF2 would make a Map pack from our submissions and give it a version number. That way we can search for it in our Server Browsers.

For example: TotalBF2 Map Pack v1.0 may have the call letters "TMP1.0"

This way when we search for "TMP1.0" in the server browser we'll know what version of the map pack that server is running.

Of course more advanced versions of Server Browsers will look at server variables to determine which version of the Map Pack I would think.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

we currently have a 64 player unranked server just for the map packs. Its not up yet because we are currently testing all the maps out there and haven't been able to finish map pack 1, but it will be released very soon probably in a few days. In the meantime, everyone can join our teamspeak and ask questions about anything they want (editor, map making, our testing procedure). Our public teamspeak IP is 63.246.166.162:8767. Make sure you register yourself when you join the server.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

I look forward to this map pack and i was wondering how many maps will we see in this map pack and if it is many how many will it get to and will thier be updates to that when more are submitted?

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

The pack will consist of 5-10 maps no more than 100 MB, we will try and release the mappack as sson as possible, but I want to get another one done ot add to it. Hopefully before school starts we'll have the pack out.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

100 in total? that would be small maps.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

When maps are packed correctly they shouldn't exeed 15 megs.

Re: TotalBF2 Map Team/Map Submission

If you make small infantry based maps with only 1 layer and no final lightmaps then yes...

Mine was packaged via the editor, the 2 undergrowth files added to client.zip, editor folders removed from both zips, an installer which also compresses it further...
In total, my map is still 36mb, its only 1024m in size as well. If people did 2048m or managed to get a bug free 4096m and put in all the time/effort and details I put into mine then it will easily exceed 50mb, maybe even 100mb with correct packaging.
