I asked the guys at NaliCity to please make a search section specifically for MonsterHunt maps and they have agreed. This is a big deal to me because I feel that we have all needed a min location to collect maps from for this mod and there hasn't ever been one. Now with this in place, we can all have the same version of these maps and we can all be aware of new MH whether the mapper comes here or not. Currently, there are 5 maps listed on NaliCity for MH. Please take the time to start sending in what you have so we can get this section built up and substantiate its existence. There are actually about 200 MH in all that I can think of. Yes, many of them suck just like most of the DM maps do at NaliCity for instance. The {UA} maps and the VACA maps are the only ones I would not send no matter what being that they suck to the extreme but all of the Guantlet, Hebreke, TGES and these other series of maps need to be listed. I figure that we should post up about 175 of the known maps. At this forum I know of 3 MH mappers that come here. All 3 have made great MH maps. Let’s get these MH maps on the map as they say. Thank you!

WHAT? Hebereke, gauntlet need to be listed?

They're pure crap!!! I don't care if they're popular, the masses taste in maps isn't really all that EVEN if you'd give them MH-SHOEBOX they'd still love and play it!

The ONLY good serie maps Monsterhunt has is TGES. Which most whiners didn't like because it's too hard, unless they play it with that UTJMH mod. Which of course, simplified gameplay a lot because of the regenerating health and recharging ammo etc.. (and oh, sudden deemer surprise etc..)

I know you love playing Monsterhunt, and I'm all for having a Monsterhunt section on NC3. But PLEASE, don't recommend CRAP maps like that!!!!!!

Please take the time to start sending in what you have so we can get this section built

Maybe change that into this:

Please take the time to start sending in DECENT maps. Decent looks, gameplay.. worth the download. Don't send in newbie/unknown/spam maps.

Don't forget, just like you I love playing this mod. And just like you, I want to see it shine.
But unlike you, I don't want the mod to be cluttered/smothered by sending in experimental/unfinished/newbie/spam maps.



Hebereke...
Where's that "smiley" which throws up?

That's the kind of maps which MUST remain on servers. I mean, it shouldn't be uploaded on websites at all.. (unfortunately...)
It's already bad as it is that it ended up getting there on the servers. If it was up to me.. if only it was up to me. :shake: ... awful maps.

Now you want it on NC3?

0_0 ?

Let's simply get the good maps listed. There are few, but they're worth being added to NC3.
The actual good ones.
The playable ones.

Please, no Godz-gauntlet-hebereke whatever.. they're 101%/100% pure crap. You're harming Monsterhunt by letting those maps being added.

Let's take this opportunity to list quality maps for a great gametype :O)

Aww man, lol
Valid point though! I'll have to second that motion. I have played MH in the past but lately I am realy getting into it. Some of the maps I have seen are uterly unplayable. Seriously. If the map is not in at least a finished or quality state, I relay dont see a reason to put it on NaliCity. This new MH section is a great oportunity for MH to grow. Lets not let it go in the wrong direction.

Wow!

Surely you know that I don't control which maps will be put on NC3 and which ones won't. You know this just as sure as you know that neither I nor you can control what maps people like and don't like, download and don't download, use on servers or not and or play in practice sessions or don't. I completely understand and respect your opinion and share many many aspects of it while at the same time want to try to remain nuetral towards everyone elses opinion.

Godz maps drive me crazy. Hebreke maps are a pian in the butt. Guantlet maps seem to go forever. Newbie maps and unfinished projects always seem to suck. If you frequent any of the other game types and have grabbed maps for them, you know as well as I do that no matter what people will send in crap. No one makes you download it. No one forces anyone to play these maps. Most legit servers have MapVote to ensure the masses get to play the map they choose. It's funny to me that these obstacle maps are so popular. I don't like them but I'll put them on the server if it keeps the server full. I can say without a doubt based on the reports in MapVote that this style of maps are always in the top 20 of my 125 maps. To me the masses have spoken and you and I are the minority. That doesn't mean we don't have rights. It just means we have to play more, vote faster, and play with people who share our taste.

I can assure you that I won't send an incomplete map or any map that I don't cycle because I thought they were that bad. I don't expect to send any maps actually for reasons I won't go into right now. I posted this to make sure that you with your opinion have every chance to post up the good maps you like because I want them too. Now stop speculating about what others are going to post and get busy getting all of the good stuff up there to NaliCity. Keep in mind that every server I've seen with the Monster Hunt mod runs about the same list of maps that I do and usually more including the ones I hate. I just don't use those servers. Peace all!

... well, Hermskii, at least we *are* in agreement :tup: ... i still think server admns should be the first to "educate" the players, even though it's an irrefutable truth that most people UT online these days are BT wackos that prefer any crappy map /for any gametype/ rather than enjoy the best those gametypes have to offer, most notably custom content. This "discussion" here about MH is the eternal dilema that already stroke UT community since days long gone - inexplicable crappiness>good mappage and play : AndaAction/Thorns/otherSimilarExample>DeNovo/NalisAzure][/etc... sometimes, i just wish people would wake up to see the lameness of it all :/ ...

Dont get me wrong here, I actualy like BunnyTracks! Are those the maps you all are saying suck? Im was talking in general terms about bad MH maps. Some were BT and some were regular maps. The ones I am refering to are just unplayable maps. Oh well , I didnt mean to bitch about it. I thought you were submiting the bulk of the maps yourself, and wanted to make sure your judgement was the same as ours. lol
True , though, Any joe shmo with a map can upload theyer maps. I forgot about that.
Why do you hate BT?
I think it brings a whole new aspect to the game "having to hone movement skills down to a science"
I used to hate BT cause i would join a server and wouldn't be able to do anything. Nobody would help me at all to learn how to get over obstiacals.
But I have played some more novice type BT maps and now I am starting to get the hang of it, To the point where I'm realy enjoying it. I just get pissed at the lamo players that shoot you off of things when you are reaching the top of the map."You Suck!" :lol:

That's the problem sometimes. The so-called 'veterans' of the gametype, blah... make me sick that 1337ist attitude.

I try to help out newbies, sometimes I worry if it's worth it. Sometimes you have people who end up shooting you or whatever...

I don't worry too much though. In Co-op, it's a dilemma. I'd rather have them discover the secret areas of a level, than show them.
:-/
But when it comes to tactiques, I'm glad to help out.

It's ready now!

OK! I have word from nalicity that our Monster Hunt section for maps has been created. They want us to be sure to include the Authors name for anything that gets sent in. Don't waste any time. Start sending in your MH maps to nalicity now!

Ok

So I put a map up that everyone has already one would think. I base this post off of a comment about me putting up MH-Canyon at NaliCity yesterday. Yes, this map comes with the mod. I know that but I have often offered a link to try MonsterHunt on other forums. This link will usually will auto launch your install of UT and connect directly to my server whether you have MH installed or not and yes, you would be able to play as a great many have found out already. I am about to attach a copy from what I said over in the comments section below and I'll post the no mod needed link another time. Here is the post from the comments section and yes I know that you Rob and Der(maker of Krogaar) have definitely contributed. My statements are directed to those who are willing to complain without contributing a thing. Being former US Military, I defended your right to do that (freedom of speech) but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

Quote from NaliCity comment section under MH-Canyon:

I did not list myself as the author of this map and mentioned that it was part of the original MH mod made by Shrimp where in the readme that comes with the mod he credits himself with all of the maps except one MA map by a different mapper. Yes, everyone has this map already and the other 3 I sent today but I have found over years as an admin to never expect that anyone has everything they need. It's amazing to me how many servers are out there running files that you get in a bonus packs but they don't have it available for a high speed download. People try to connect without the bonus pack files and they get a failed error "server refused to send file" or something like that. Too many people still playing on 56k for that. Show me any server that has a link to it that if you connect to it from a fresh install of UT patched up to 436(required for network play) that will send every single file a player needs in order to play that map whether they have the mod or not. You can't! That is you can't unless you point someone to either of my servers. I try to consider that not everyone has everything and put it on the redirect server for them. I really wish people would send in maps rather than complain about people who send in maps. Amazing to me the types of people who bite the hand that feed them. Kids who get cars from their parents and complain about the model or the age of the car. I worked for a car just as I'm working to give people a place to upload Monster Hunt maps. I have also tried to contact Shrimp but can't find a valid email address for him anywhere. I don't mean to sound too defensive but at least I have put up a server, I advertise this awesome mod to everyone, I got NaliCity to give us a space where these can collected for all to share, I play the map, take screenies for the NC folks to post, create a readme file if there isn't one available and take zero credit for it and take my time to arrange, zip, upload and everything and I'm not sure but except for a few old and new mappers (that are both doing awesome work) and the NaliCity team, I sometime feel like I'm the only one doing anything towards trying to grow this mod before it disappears. OK, I'm done. Thanks for the venting opportunity. Now please, right now, please upload at least one map you like for MH to NaliCity. Thank you.

I think it's a wonderful idea.. We just recently started a monster hunt server. And it would be great to have a place to get maps. I have them in my cashe folder, but I cannot get unreal office to work, so I dont know what files go with what map....

Unreal office tells you what files goes with what maps. The only problem is like utwatcher some people just can't get it to work. There is a couple people in sSs that it worked on there pc(xp users) and me and another person that runs windows 2000 can't get it to work. So good luck. But if you do get it to work it's a great program.
