greaserpirate {l Wrote}:hulk {l Wrote}:Of course i know that, but that's not my point. Does anybody really plays Sauerbraten maps on Red Eclipse servers? Nope, because it would not be fun since these maps aren't designed with Red Eclipse gameplay in mind. I think i don't need to explain why it would'nt be fun on most maps? It should work on the larger ones though.
My point is that RE needs maps, that are designed specifically for RE, but with a detail level as in most Sauerbraten maps.
I don't understand what you mean by maps "not being designed for Red Eclipse gameplay". Sauer maps were designed to be played as first-person shooters. There's really nothing you can do in Sauer that you can't in RE.
Sigh.
Of course Sauer maps were designed to be played as first-person shooters, but you can't generalize the whole genre. It's as if you would say e.g. Halo and Half-Life was the same. As these games are different, RE and Sauer are essentially different.
"There's really nothing you can do in Sauer that you can't in RE"
You really don't see the difference? You have to look harder then, it's definitely there.
The biggest different is that in RE, you move much faster, and by dashing and wall running even faster. That changes gameplay on the maps dramatically, and not alway in a good way. The maps function bad with RE, as they are now too small because you move much faster, it would be harder to play on most Sauerbraten maps, but not the funny hard way.
Due to the wallrunning and double jumping you would be able to get to place on maps, that weren't meant to be accessed in the first place. Of course, people would use that to their advantage. I don't exclude the fact that there are some maps that would work fairly well. But only for a minor portion of maps this is the case. As far as the map size goes, I don't want to imagine a map like venice (hate that map) on a server with 16 people, it would be the total mayhem.

I do agree that RE should have its own mapping community, and we do have some pretty good maps, but I also want to make it perfectly clear: We are in no way cut off from the Sauer mapping community. Playing RE does NOT mean giving up all those amazing maps.
I agree with that, there should be something like Quadropolis, but speficially for Red Eclipse, since people on Quadroplis don't care about it and got stuck on Sauerbraten, and keep sugarcoating that little outdated game and don't want to grow up and move on to the more advanced game. RE maps on Quadropolis don't even get noticed, it's pointless. That way RE poeple could have their own place, and we could leave all the Sauer people alone...
