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

theres 42-48 skillmaps

The reason it was declined was because developers are not interested in making new maps, especially skillmaps.
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.

Wonder what happened to Stephan's blog on all of those new maps smh

Other things to focus on.

Also you are wrong Zach, making new skill maps now is way harder to do so if you want to produce quality maps as well.
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 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.
there are already plenty of skillmaps that exist, if you'd like to see them just look up skillmaps 1-20, I didn't post the video because its related to other gunz servers

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.
