Current Map White List

This doesn't make me very happy. One feature I enjoyed about the game is that interesting custom maps come out weekly or so, and it was fun playing them.
It's not as cool playing them with perk leveling disabled...
Any chance of speeding the "whitelist update" up? (feel free to move my post where it belongs if not here with a note possibly thx).
Do you mean have a black list of a few maps that perks don't work on rather having a huge white list of maps where perks work. Makes sense.
do you think mappers that create leveling maps will come here and add thier map to the black list? lol
Considering the list will be updated with every patch, all the mappers would need to do is alter their maps slightly after each patch and they'd never have to worry about their levelling maps being blacklisted, so that's simply not a viable idea.
That last part would require servers to respond to queries with their entire map lists - not very bandwidth efficient for servers with lots of maps.
As for why there's a whitelist rather than a blacklist, it's very simple - this way, all new content is blacklisted by default. If it was the other way around, new 'leveling' maps could be made and run locally without perk progression being locked out - after all, they won't be on the blacklist if nobody knows they exist
We will look into further support for the Map White Listing process. Obviously the interface has not been set up to give enough feed back and options for this new system.
As for the removing Perk Building maps, we are going to have to count on users to help prune the existing list. We simply got rid of KF-PerkBuilder and KF-Leveling type maps. I will be going through all new maps, but there were simply too many in the initial list for me to play through all of them. Perhaps, though, I'll go through the list in the next couple of days while I'm adding some requested maps.
And yes, this thread will be updated whenever the Map White List is updated(which will only happen when we release an update).

I have removed KF-FiringRange because it does block the enemies from getting to you, but KF-TooMuch seems to just be a simple map. The enemies can still get to you, even if it is down a single hallway almost everywhere, it's still not a true leveling or perk building map.
KF-Surroundedv1.1.rom and KF-TBAHybzBeta1.1a.rom must be changed to KF-Surroundedv1_1.rom and KF-TBAHybzBeta1_1a.rom or they shall not be read by the game in the mapcycle...
I tried to add them as their original ways with the 1.1 but it just does not work that way...
