ATTENTION MAPPERS! ALTFIRE NEEDS YOUR BEST SHOTS!

Wunderland is seeking your talent. We offer permanent hosting to the right maps...

We are seeking

1. Classic Altfire maps
- Scoutznivez, Enemy At the Gates, 8RED, Proteus
2. Classic Adventure/Combat RPG maps
DXSG_CMD_V1, DXMP_Skyline etc
3. Maps which show off community excellence
Maps which show players what can be done in SDK, e.g. DXPZ_Cybris, Neocron etc...

For a classic altfire map, the following is often required.

1. Outdoors area, or some giant rooms large enough for low gravity jumps and melees
2. The map contains no bugs due to low gravity, players getting stuck in corners and crevices of terrain etc.
3. The map has a theme suitable for low gravity, rootops, space, matrix style, futuristic like Proteus, to suit the weaponry in Altfire.
But this isnt mandatory, look at EnemyAtTheGates, Stalingrad with a shock rifle.
4. The map is large enough to deal with players moving fast in low gravity.
The spawn rooms are more than 2 usually and the spwns are far enough apart. The map is a Deus Ex map, atmosphere, story, vents, backdoors...
5. LAST version of tnag is the one to load in editor, if u are considering making a dedicated tnag version with extra weapons like sabot rifle etc.
6. Repairbots are not required, but we reccomend that your map is fully functional DXMP map and functions also in 0-aug.
7. Although the server is very busy atm, Wunderland is often the chill room when another server is busy, maps need to function well with 2-4 players as much as 12 players... beyond 12-16 players is not necessary, although we will always host maps like Skyline and A51_TheDayAfter etc...
8. Make sure there are enough spwns... 20 is a good number or even more.
9. We have a fast server download time, so we dont want to see GODZ_Bumtown. Detail and good DX Story please... keep us in Wunderland!
10. Alternatively throw out the rulebook and produce a classic Altfire map like DXMP_Scoutznivez... you don't necessarily need to cater to all players. DXMS_Iceworld is the most popular DXMS map and probably most popular community map ever in 0-aug... go figure.

ALSO

if you have a WORKING copy of any of these maps, we would be very grateful for a copy.

DXMP_EnemyAtTheGates - Everyone is asking for this...
DXMP_HangarStorage -
DXMP_Galaxy? Two spwns, grey metal, teles, set in space, tnag extra weps. Some requests for this...

and any others that we forgot about from Wunderland...

I should add that the map is likely to work better in altfire if the basic terrain is not flat. A totally flat map is the kiss of death for Altfire, no sniperbox arena plz. Hilly streets, terrain, different levels of roofs etc... works better often...Like EnemyAtTheGates...
