How to handle deprecated maps

Open oy opened this issue 12 years ago • 6 comments

What should happen when a map gets removed from the official map pool? Just replace it with the new map and use the same name? Or assign a new number and not use the old map name anymore?

I would suggest to keep the removed maps in the "reccomended by the devs" map list, so that the players will know that the maps aren't official but still good to play..

I'd suggest to not create a new map with a name of an old map as it was done with ctf4 in 0.6.0, because it causes unnecessary confusion IMO.

Why not give a real name to the maps? It's pretty hard to remember which map is ctf1/2/3/etc as a new player, and it shouldn't be too hard to find names for the maps since they all have a specific graphic theme.

I would just replace it but choupom's idea also sounds viable

Replacing it is a bad idea because it might be confusing, could create conflicts and most of all: there is no reason to do so. The sanest way is to just give maps names.

while keeping 2 nearly same maps is also a bad idea imo @Choupom I think it that there will be a mixture between unofficial and official maps, which will bring more confusion.
