Hiya guys,

I put together a list of mapnames from ol' skool maps from the beta era.

I would like to get some feedback from you guys if this list is anywhere near complete.

Second I made the list for future map releases as a reference to look over to see which names have allready been used for maps. I allready started a small discussion in this thread (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9509) about the subject.

Lastly I am working on a small project where I am collecting all old maps as to make sure that they will allways be availible for download. To that end I would like to ask you all to put forth mapnames (beta amps) not allready on this list and secondly to to give me a link (if any) to that map.
If you have a map on your HardDisk but it is no longer availible on the Net I will arrange for you to upload it to a site or to DCC it to me on mIRC (PM me for more info)

Thanks for your time, here is the list ...

I made dod_bessin2. Man that map sucked but a few people played it. Talk about box maps.....

I have the rmf somewhere i think.

I did not read your entire list, but it is missing dod_vicenza.

edit...

also seems to be missing dod_anzio (yet it has dod_anzio_euro)

also seems to be missing dod_avalanche

make sure you have all the official dod maps as well.

thx

It only features the dod_beta maps, excluding the ones still in use like Anzio and Avalanche. Vicenza is a dodv1.0 map isn't it ? Or has it been a beta?

I will make a seperate v1.0 and up list later on. I probably host it on C2D.

does that mean we are not allowed to remake these maps....

so who gives the right for NC17 to remake caen.

Well thats what the discussion is about in THIS (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9509) thread. There are no rules partaining to old map names and new maps with the same name but by different mapper with a different map.

Imo having multiple maps with the same name is confusing. On the other hand a lot of people who made those maps are no longer around and the new people here don't know the maps.

I am just putting up the list and the discussion so we can all have our say over this subject.

I am in favor of preserving the old maps including the rights to the name they were given. Once a map was out and free for all to download it was no longer possible to use the name.
But know we have dodv1.0 and that complicates things.

I put up a new list in the beginning of this thread, because I had time to compare my list with that of Hulk Bogan.

The new entries on the list have ... (HD) behind the mapname. (small reminder to self where to find the map :))

[edit]Had to put it up on the ftp so you can also find it HERE (http://www.xs4all.nl/~thoorens/Maps/mapnames2.txt)

as Ive said in another thread, the best solution is for ppl to think of dam original names ffs, no offence but "no mans land" is not original.

I agree wholeheartedly, there are so many names to be used out there. I think the peeps in the Historic part of these Forums can help out in that department if anybody here ever runs out of ideas for a name :)

even dod_Blitz isnt used (well its not in ur list)

It is not yet complete so it might allready be used for some map ... and it is your list as well. I am just the dumb fart that took the time to put all the names in 1 text file :D

thx, m8, I will use the list ;)

It's official and possessed by Valve. That's why. Think of all the de_dust clones and cs_assault clones for Counter-Strike.

If it was an unofficial map, a remake wouldn't be possible without the author's permission.

:D

I thought the old caen (1.3b) was made by Helvan who couldn't be contacted anymore. Caen2 was a remake by Waldo.

If you couldn't contact Helvan how can you 'give away' any rights?

Once a map goes official its rights are owned by the dod team which is now owned by valve . . .

Lets all throw in 10 dollars and buy valve :) then we can make dod REAL good :)
