Hi all well dont know where to start but a long time ago I think could be 4 years ago in galaxy far far away from here AAAA started and one of our first projects was to build a map database.......ehhh well I couldnt (((

Their are a few great websites out their with some form or another of maps and mods but the reason this project was started was you try and find a map you and dont have..............

So where we at.........

Joto from Scapp has one on his list of projects : info here http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAAMOHAA/node/10 this will be amazing and more what we are after but already try'd the pressure but could not get an answer ))) only joking Joto but felt from some feed back that others felt the same........

I am not Web Developer so kind of hard for me to take on a project like this as if I cant do it end of...........

So did a few days proof of concept to see if I could quickly over the past few days get something we could use that was different and cleaner........

Well when I last try'd this we were on nuke we are now on Drupal so had a go.....

Its now on the main menu http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAAMOHAA/content/aaaa-mohaa-map-database-0 - Its all still work in progress but think we can use this.........

So please have a play and feed back

The bottom line this will only work if we all support it!! if every member spent 10 mins to submit 2 maps we would be off to great start.......

You have to put in to take out...........

Feed back welcomed but if I am to spend more time on this I need to know its going to be used

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

Cheers

Re: AAAA Launches MOHAA Map database

Well I think it's a great project.
And not to mention it's fun as well ! If we all weekly play a new map or 2 with some friends.. we have a lot of fun and we learn about more maps.. and we like to have a lot of input here about the fun maps that might be hidden out there.. and like to read what people think about the maps !

I myself have been playing a lot of custom maps lately, testing them out with friends.. I got a lot on my hard drive atm. So I will probably try and contribute a few maps per week. And I'll start off with a lot of zombie maps hehe (love horror).

Re: AAAA Launches MOHAA Map database

Well We are back - I lost some of the post's from this thread sorry (((

Well Back to where we were - Manually added all the features again to the Map database ((

Have fixed the file upload can now handle 64MB - I can think of a couple of maps that are massive!! Like the Break Through MOHAA map pack think that is about 500MB so we will use the the direct link feature to host massive files.

I will set up a Public AAAA FTP for large file uploads and out some info on the input form about it.

I have just tested the database now adding a new map and all worked ok.

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

Had a thought For another Field - Theme I guess we can have such things as Realism, horror, Modern stuff like that but I will Leave the other box on as well so they can input their own game type

Re: AAAA Launches MOHAA Map database

Map Video issue - Well managed to use the Xfire in game Video as thought that would be quickest solution first thing I noticed was quality very poor so I changed the Xfire settings in your Xfire options to record full screen and recorded a 2 min video only to be told when I came to upload it it was to big and the Youtube Video upload option on Xfire seems to work but never see the video on my youtube account............

Re: AAAA Launches MOHAA Map database

Theme Field now added

Thinking out loud................

The first thing you want to do when you find a great map is PLAY it..........

Well if you are not a server admin or owner of a MOHAA server you would have to play it perhaps by creating your own locale server............

So I have an idea...........

We already have a AAAA theme server - I am thinking of loading every map submitted from the database on to the Theme server and let it run under the new Reborn vote control

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again
