Zan Goh is a legend, fantastic , one of my favourite maps, but wtf is it doing on altfire?
It's scorchingly bright, WW1 not cyberpunk, it's like a mapper started for 30 minutes and stopped. Where are the actors, movers, actor lights, sounds, bleedin nothing in this map, except brushes. Oh wow, OMG JC STAIRS!!!
it has much in common with iceworld, both a collection of static brushes, spawns with tables in front of you, nothing at all else in the map, also both are very bright.

I was being diplomatic and mentioning all mappers in FGS that I could remember did something this year, just meaning I see no harm in an altfire type server being the better place for maptesting than the 0-aug server, for lots of reasons.
things have changed, when I started in 2005, there was grav rifle on every map, shotgun on every map and beretta on every map. Also, ppl hated bio rifle. This is another reason. The tnag replacer actually replaces more weps than we use, but we've gradually restricted the variety on some maps, while offering a greater variety on other maps. Also people generally threw lams at each other across Area 51 etc, not planted vac in doorways etc so much. Dare I say it, maps were larger as well, House Arrest, Rattery Park, 8Red, Hangar Storage, Exile, the majority were A51 sized or bigger, where grenades being thrown around in low grav were possible to dodge.
Things changed massively when I started adding extra tnag weps to maps. People started to vote for weps and grenades, spawnkilling and no-brainer kills like energy ball on pacman. Players like Axis and Prophet became a minority on the server. There is still that issue, that adding bio rifle and minigun to everything could be a real passion-killer. Some people really hate both and probably don't want all tnag weps on all maps? I have no idea really what the true demand is there.
Almost certainly I won't be able to release/update anything until after Xmas.
I know Mantra could be found, and we found Skyline's author, but Duffman and other altfire map authors I have no idea.
