How about a September Cleanse in the Mapvault

[ColonelSheppard]

If a lot of people do a few Pages in the Mapvault it's not too much work for one single person. And yes the mapvault is full of full scaled trash.
I started, just because i was looking around in the mapvault again and became ragy about what i see/find there
I started alphabetical on page one (up to 4) and use these categories:

- broken
- old version
- extremely poorly desinged
- utterly crap/borderline broken

Special Notes about Maps

Code: Select all

3V3 Sand Box - there is an v2 but it doesnt have an icon
8 Player Fields of Isisv2 - having extremely poor texture and despite that and exact copy of Isis 4v4

Now before you cry "your opinion, your opinion" now please have a look at the maps. I would suggest that there is a list for the notexture/noterrain/utterly crap -maps and people can call out maps they actually play and say the want to keep it or something like that, but honestly, none of the maps i put in extremely poorly desinged i have ever seen hosted, neither in GPGnet or FAF.

Is there any chance that maps from a list can be deleted or hidden in the vault?

[silver_eye]

Good idea, if U want to do it just do it and then notice that in news.
Good job.
Good

[ColonelSheppard]

well ZeP just said he wont remove maps so nvm

[Ze_PilOt]

Mark them as broken.
Rate them.
Comment them.

I'm no judge for the quality of any map.

[Lionhardt]

Maybe one could make a "quality map vault". Whenever a new map is created and uploaded it first goes into the standard vault. When it reaches a certain rating and a minimum number of people have rated it,it gets automatically transferred into the quality vault... this way you would get a separate junk free vault.

[Ze_PilOt]

Errr..

Would be easier to add a rating filter.

[ColonelSheppard]

the problem with rating atm is that people upload their map, vote it with 5 stars, and ask their friends to also do so - voilá a bad man with good rating, also some maps are just downloaded by "default" by ladder or by once joining a game, players normally do not vote for that map then and it maybe stays underrated

[Ze_PilOt]

If 200 players vote a map, one vote + 10 friends won't do a thing. Same for bad comments.

[H-master]

Perhaps give players when they've played a new map a pop up window where they can give a rating to the map.

A thing I noticed though, is that people tend to hate a map when they lose a game on it.

[Krapougnak]

If we could replace older versions of the maps with the newer ones that could help cleaning the map vault a bit instead of having v1, v2, v3, beta 1 beta2 etc... clogging the vault.
