if you don't want to see servers running older versions of your map, it might make too much sense to not release anything at all until the map is finished but you could try that.
or, you could at least not release beta after beta after beta. keep in mind that just because you have the time to keep up with every iteration of your map, that does not mean that the rest of the world does. it's fairly arrogant to think that people are just eagerly waiting for you to put your next beta so they can continue constant maintenance of their server.
also remember, once a map is placed on an ftp site, it usually stays there forever and some server owners just use what is available on their ftp for the sake of convenience. when i see ton of betas of the same map on the ftp, i usually just don't bother with those maps, i try to only run finals on my server.
when you get done with this one, perhaps i'll try it on my server but i don't have the time nor the desire to update the unfinished maps on my server at whatever arbitrary intervals that people choose to release beta after beta after beta, especially when they are over hundred megabytes.
you really don't need to unleash a map on the world just to test it out, you could do that kind of testing by yourself or with friends. but that might be too easy.
Firstly is was WEEKS before this map was updated, secondly to call me arrogant? When I have been here for weeks creating a map for people to play in my own time adding things people asked for?? Oh wait I forget what beta is about.
But I digress why don't we email tripwire and ask them not to release kf2 for playing until it's finished as they would be arrogant to release something not finished?. Not saying they should as I love the game but using an example
Tbh it's comments like this that make me realise why I stopped mapping for kf1.
There had been but a few releases of this day to night map and I consider it near finalised so why would I not release it for people to play?
And yes I noticed a lot of servers running the first edition so thought I would mention for server owners to update, do they have to No! But if they want the newer version than it's common sense to do so.
Geez anyone would think I was on here begging people to download or play it, do so if you wish or don't it's the users choice I am not forcing anyone to play this map after all I made it for the community to play and I forgot this was the BETA section.
To all mappers don't release any versions of your map until it's complete as server owners don't want to update regularly.
Oh also it's version N because I have been testing with friends and not released version a-n incase that was what you was thinking, you could have just checked this instead of guessing, I would also point out that THIS particular map has probably had the LEAST beta updates on here (3-4 I think in total) that's a fair bit less than others! not that I see a problem with others releasing betas on a regular basis, that's how maps become good, but maybe THATS TOO EASY eh?
