grumblers map resource

[sid6.7]

i was finally able to aquire grums old map resource's
with the help of noodleman...

i now have 300+ bzmaps all in 1 zip, i've also
included the server texts for some of them, these
explain the way the author wanted thier map to be run
on a server and sometimes explained the theme...

its 800k in size now...

this is not every map that was ever run on a server
but, its a huge chunk, some of these go back to 2000
some of you newer guys( last 6 weeks or so) may
have never seen these before they should provide
some re-newed fun or even inspiration for new map
making...

yes there are some doubles or altered doubles but i think
we can get the total up to 200-220ish original maps

some of the old authors before me such as spiff,sussudio
dutchrai, swine, yoyox, gerbil, dervish, jzaun, creeperz
it was like a race betwix suss and spiff for the most maps
for awhile they cranked out alot..dutch and blind ambition
cranked out quite a few too. etc...

someone as funny as gerby was swine i remember
that brings back some fond memorys of thier jokes
as they played...

should be a treat guys...

Wow, I've never heard of half of the mappers on that list. I'm sure it'd be good, we just need 220 servers to host them all... anyone have 220 extra computers layign around?

about 60 or so of the maps are PRE 1.9
so the drivethrough feature(which was a bug then)
will not work....no one has ever updated them...
although TEGAN did make a nice macro that
could go in a do that for most of the drive thru's...
it actually works 70% of the time...cool...

the POSTED standard was to have an object
.01 above another surface you could then drive
thru it.....but when looking at some folks maps
they used all sorts of numbers from .001-xyx

and since only the authors knew what they
intended it would be hard to update them...

about 1/2 of my maps are still 1.9 versions
to make the point.....

so bear that in mind when using or viewing them
somethings might not work..like you can't get to
a section of the map cuase its blocked now...

That's a great collection, must have been some job hunting them down. Congrats!

actually most of those were from the old stats site.....wow, really old stats site.....before the noodle.

some credits to you too grum as you had these first before me
and had that nice little link you put up for them...(gone now)

your link was nice though and had some cool pic's with each map

anyone that wants to feel free to host the file also
they just dont have to come to me to get it...

[sid6.7]

the file has been updated i combined
dw's and my maps for total of 400+
maps now...

same as before some doubles some alternate revisons...

but maybe we can now say 300+ original maps?
