what is this even
Suggestion description:
would be nice if you could add more skillmaps, we currently only have 1-4 but there are over 20 '-' would add to the racing experience and allow vini to add those to the team run gamemode
Was declined here.
now that vini is a developer i think that adding those maps would add to the team run gamemode '-', read my post...Quote:

Reason being is some of them just don't feel like it - like Dave said.
Plus, some of the developers are inactive or don't specialize in map making, so it'd be hard for them to come with new maps for the same release date as the Race mode.
you don't need to make new skillmaps, they already exist. those new maps don't necessarily need to be released the same release date as the race mode, they can be added to the mode after it was released, like an update.Quote:

I mean I agree with you, I want the maps added, but I don't see any developer willing enough to take the time to do so.
The most active ones are busy doing other projects for FG already.
I support this but it will be decline ._.
vini said that we need to have more maps to race in, i think he's willing enough to take the time to do so, even if he'll do it after the release of team run, it would still be nice to have new maps as skillmaps 1-4 became boring '-'Quote:

The old program map makers used to use was bugged and glitched, and thus you get glitchy maps like the skill maps.
And we as Freestyle GunZ want to get rid of wasted space in files (items, swords, clothing and maps), also a reason why we removed a ton of maps from v7 that had no lightmap for example.
Also, we do not need new maps if Vini's mode uses check points that you could use in any map (instead of creating a new map).
Sure, we could add some in the future, but not like 20 (see above about wasting space).
I really feel like we still have a ton of maps that are hardly played and thus a waste of space, our client has also a focus for those that have less of a pc to play on ("potatoe pc's").
In the end it is not my choice what we do and do not add, but for now I think you should be happy with the last race map that Nagi (Hellsniper) made.
My tip; if you really really are dead set on having new race maps, give us idea's like drawings and such on what your ideal race map would be in GunZ terms.
Just suggestion "add 20 new maps pl0x" or giving skill maps (cause they are really bad) is not going to help us at all.
I understand they're hard, I never said they're not hard to create, but it'd be nice to see all of our developers working, not just 3 out of the 8 we have (that I know of). So far all I know is Jeff, Vini & you are doing things. I have no clue where everyone else is nor if they are doing anything cause they're hardly active.
If someone took the time to do this then players wouldn't even have to suggest this lmfao.
Also, I don't understand how you want players to draw or "explain a map", when they are asking for a suggestion on a map, not for you to re-create or come up with an idea off of their drawing(s). Developers are supposed to be unique and decorative, aren't they?
I agree, i try to enjoy the new race map nagi added, but its only available for staff, and only available for staff in the event channel.Quote:

Only 3 modelers, Irahnik is a gfxer and the rest codes.Quote:

Any skill map is bad in my eyes, not bothered to look for them (I played 1 to 4).Quote:

everyone would have an equal chance to win if it gets released to everyone because only a few people in this server actually mastered that map from playing the events, most people die at the beginning and have no chance to learn from it.Quote:

- Add checkpoints to most of the maps we currently have so each map has it's own "track"
- Checkpoints by using a model like a flag (believe he already had that done)
- See if he can add difficulty in his race mode (easy, normal, hard)
This way we do not have to focus on new maps, but this can make the current maps also a lot of fun by using the checkpoints.
Also, we can add more maps in the future for this mode if it will work the way we think it will work/play out.
This is also to delay the release of the mode, if you actually only going to make 20 maps just for 1 mode.
I know some of you will dislike this that we would "go against" the whole suggestion, but I think it will be a benefit for us all.
how would u add checkpoints to maps like mansion? its not even race anymoreQuote:

This way we basicly are able to use any map as a race map.
but in most maps u only need to dash towards a checkpoint... there's nothing that requires skill there, unlike in supermario3 and all of the skillmapsQuote:

So rip everyone XD?Quote:

tht means u should learn the location of every checkpoint in every map rather than just run towards a specific place '-'Quote:

Not sure about the final model for the checkpoint, it could be an arrow or something.Quote:
