Ok, so here's the deal: every once in a while I'll set up a poll about the newer maps, and the first few get moved to quality maps. Fair enough?


First rounds contestants:

Terrorinfant's IsleSiegeDemonic's [url="http://archive.forums.soldat.pl/topic.php?topic_id=31373">Lybia

~ Only one gets moved to quality maps, and if you whine enough, maybe another one. Few contestants, few winners. ~

two of your own maps? now, that's not fair:p

Lybia because I waypointed it!

so that's why the bots were acting like sheep?..

i voted :D
IsleSiege

I agree, they didn't work for me either xD

Forgot to update the .zip download, but I fixed that now, redownload for aznbl00d's waypointed pleasure.

I think Pagan Charade > Lybia though.

What if someone wanted to vote more than one? And there should be a "None of them" option, imho.

Edit: sorry about the striked question, hadn't read the last part of your post, Demonics

Rainrider posted his topic when I was writing this one: so I couldn't notice it. Naturally I'll include it next time.

Don't be a pussy, make up your mind :) And a 'None of them' option is senseless, the Quality maps database needs to grow.

Hard to compare maps for a different gamestyle with each other... Islesiege and Pagan Charade have the best overall-scores in the combination of visuals and gameplay, i think, so Belgium's 12 points go to ...

Demonics: dude, i hadn't even tested rainrider's map xD Would be lying to myself in that post, hence the edit
A "None of them" option is reasonable: 200 mappers may not vote because they don't like them, yet 20 could vote for one of them, 15 for another, 18 for another... i don't know how many votes would earn a "quality" status, but you should take abstainments into account.

By the way, and i don't know if this happens to anyone else, when someone links to a "http://soldatforums.com/..." link from a "http://www.soldatforums.com/..." location, my browser (Mozilla FF) tends to ignore the current cookies, therefore believing i'm logged out (and also not having access to the link, if it's in the New Maps forum :P). I'm talking about the thread links in your first post. Thanks!

I give myself credit that I have chosen the 'better' maps from this period. I'll be locking this vote on Wednesday, 8th.

Also, the bug you mentioned: weird, I did experience something like that before, but not in this particular manner. Try turning auto log in on.

ok, Lybia looks nice on the overview, but the style is too boring and too open, the sun is too far away so it looks like a foggy mountain-cliff thing.

mineral havoc is a map, with a lot of scenery problems as Demonic mentioned and it shouldn't even be on the votes. Its too cramped in some ares aswell and you used only 2 colours for creating ground, when I use 4.

Islesiege is a map that I frankly will never like, because I've seen such stuff a million-gazillion times and that will not do. It doesnt even look far-cryish to me and the towers and the cannon should have been burnt down before they were created+ youre a pig for posting 2 of your own maps so i'm not voting 4 u.

Pagan sharade also has hell-loadsa minuses, but I will vote for you because you used my scenery in the map (although I never tried it and hope never will judging by screenshot-overview)

Actually, it's only a single colour, with different brightness levels. xD
And i agree, that map shouldn't be considered for the quality maps forum.

In the quote, i highlighted those personal nouns just to increase the amusingness of viggo's comment (considering i had never referred to him before in this thread).

I haven't played any of those four but I vote for inf_Lybia because of the lighting effects. I still agree with rainrider and think the sun should be lower, tho'.

Oh crap, I just posted a map in Quality Maps... I thought if it was good enough the post would be approved. Should I just repost it in here?

Anyways, I vote IsleSeige.

Well, the race is tight, real tight. Anyway, I've voted Lybia.

Vote locked, Pagan Charade gets moved to Quality maps. All heil Terrorinfant :)

New vote on Friday.
