RO: Custom Map Steam group

[{Core}Steven]

I have created a new Steam Group for anyone interested in supporting Custom Maps for RO.

People who might want to join:

1. Custom Mappers
2. Server Admins who wish to lend servers for testing / public nights
3. Testers

If we could have a platform where we can easily organise releases, test nights and public nights it might help get maps out there quicker and quicker turn around on betas.

Things I think could be done:

1. Announcements of new releases
2. Easily contact server admins to get maps on
3. Access to a group of people willing to test
4. Public night announcements

Not sure if we will get enough interest, but it's worth a try.

Anyway, lets see how it goes.

if you wish to have Admin access on the group, just let me know:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ROCustom

To get the ball rolling, {Core} server is available for mappers who need somewhere to test etc.
Hopefully we can get a few Server Admins offering support (FTP accounts etc I guess would be useful).

If anyone has any suggestions to make this better, then let me know.

Regards,

Steven

I suggest only 1 variant of a map at a time (b1, b2, b3 can be confusing) also a fast redirect would be awesome, as its what puts me off playing customs.

Yeah hopefully we can control releases through this, so we can easily upload latest version, and have a few servers always running the latest releases.

Of course having a small army of testers on hand might mean maps get finished quicker

this is a good concept, i shall join this group. Will it only be for RO maps, or would CC also be loaded onto the server?

I would hope we could use this for any of the Mods for RO, so feel free to join up.

Sounds like a decent idea!

Is there a way on the Steam Group to show which guys are Mappers, Server Admins & testers?

Might make things a little easier if we cna do that.

Hm, what kind of textures do you need? BSP textures?

They are fairly easy to make so I would help you with that.
