Hi GeneralForrest, Welcome on the site.
@ Daddio: I don't think you can host the maps on the cdv forum, right? Cause they dont host files right? So it will be up to the fan sites to host them.
So if i count right thats 4+2+.?.+3+6 = 15+ .. . And how bout Garnier's map? And IG exterminator's (killeruk) map? We should put them in there aswell. ( btw: whats the 'grey' pack?)
The map creator.exe works fine for me. It would seem that its either directed to the wrong directory or in some case's on installing the first custom map it can give an error, but after that it just works for me. If they are distributed that way, it should include a well written read me with all the things that possibly can go wrong, and they can, as we all have experienced last weeks, thats Murphy's law for you... ;-)
That Garniers Installer doesnt work seems weird to me. When i tested it, it worked fine, care to elaborate a bit on that?
The other solution is to create an installer but that would overwrite mostlikely the existing file's in the data folder and hence we should include all possible maps there are, but thats quite a lot , so I'm not in favour of doing that. I still prefer the map installer exe's.
Catch me on msn this week to have a chat about this.
