I'm about to bring a 32 person online for Renegade.

but i'm concerned by the lack of players playing mod maps.

On my other server - House of Stone - the most i see are 5 players at a time. And usually - when the maps change - they all get dropped. (lack of map on thier rig).

Now - there could be a couple of reasons why this is happening.

1. People don't know or care that they can get fan maps.

2. People just want to play the canned WestWood ones.

3. The choices of maps are limited in playability or fun.

4. Lack of info on maps being played.

5. Server sucks.

6. Renegade is slowly dying. (or mod maps are?)

_______

So - in order to get an accurate gauge of what people want - Please post what maps (fan based) you play all the time.

PLEASE - don't start a flame war - or comments on how much so and so's map sucks - Just put your choices down. and refrain from commenting on others opinions....

Also - include what starting money you like, radar on/off, Friendly fire, etc....

The server will be running on a Dell Poweredge 2500 Dual processor (1. Cool

server - with windows 2000 adv. It is connected to a full T-1 line via fiber optics. (it has 1 gig of memory - and running raid 5 scsi)

The other server will be running on a Dell Poweredge 2000 (same specs as above - but 2 gig mem)

Thank you for your time -

if you have a good stable server where people get a low ping, then most players will probably download the maps that you run as long as they're easy to find. my friend and i looked for a good server for a while then we found the pits. it had all that i mentioned so we went to renmaps and downloaded every map they have on that site. now, my friend and i play on the pits 99% of the time.

Well my advice would be to host it in Gamespy mode. If you use gamespy then you will know how popular renbattle is. It's a 32 player server that hosts custom maps which are on their site (http://www.renbattle.com) as map packs. It saves everyone looking for the maps and people will play if they don't have to bother looking for the maps all over the web. If you make an good site with a list of the maps and a link for the map itself if not a map pack then it should work out. I would be happy to see a server hosting mods and custom maps in gamespy mode. 32 Player servers are normally a big hit on gamespy. Just an idea.

When i'm refering to gamespy I mean Gamespy Mode servers. A lot of people use programs such as "The All Seeing Eye" to connect to the servers as well as "Gae Spy Arcade".

Are you saying BR.Net has a bug whereas it only rotates 10 maps? If so have you notified Dante of this?

Have you checked out the-pits latley?! We've been running mod maps for the past few months, and our server is popular thenever - we run a mix of mods and official maps, and post the list on the-pits site and download links for them. Id recommend setting up a irc channel aswell, like #the-pits allows users to see the game in action and the map list with the !maps command.

Good Luck.

P.S. Im also bring up a large renegade server soon, that will run 24/7 on a dedicated line. Im hoping we will all be alive still?!

In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.

When i have kids, everytime i drive past a fast food restaurant, im gonna punch my kid in the face, then they'll never wanna come..

told him many times... he just says works fine for me..
..Has anyone else rotated past 10 maps in BR.Net?

i will post up the maplist command in the forums later this week..
the command runs ok..because in the BR>net maplist box it has ALL the maps and also in IRC on the command !maplist it shows all 17 maps..
