New Website - Mapwatch.net

[Tectonic]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know there's a new website I've just launched with my buddy Pha3z, called Mapwatch.net. It's basically a versioning and feedback system for mappers. I would have loved to use something like this for the maps I've made in the past (most notable - DM_1v1_meatless for Painkiller used in the CPL).

Check it out!

http://www.mapwatch.net/

We're also on IRC: irc.gamesurge.net #mapwatch

No Doom3 category?

Make requests for the site on the forum section of mapwatch.net (click the forum link on the left side of the page).

If there's enough support for a game/mod, we'll definitely add it!

No Duke3D/Eduke32 section?

[Tectonic]

lol I don't see that one happening.

Nice stuff but is your photo really necessary on the frontpage ? This is a mapping site afterall

[⌐■_■]

YES

I'll contact PONE ASAP for a new Mapcore Member Ucoverd Topic Scoop.

nice site design, little too dark

[e-freak]

Minotauro: should they map theyr faces?

seems like a good idea but i think a svn like system with torrent networking (like steam but with distribution share) would give it a uber experience

Come on, the photo is just for the first news post showing off the sexy creators!

Note taken on the p2p download idea, although I doubt if we'll be implementing something like that any time soon, if ever.

Good idea if you can get enough people to participate.

Is it open to Source too? (DoD:S, CS:S, HL2DM, etc...)

[ReNo]

I registered for the site but I'm still awaiting an email to activate my account - its been around an hour which seems a little slow to me. Still, looks like a nice website and a nice concept. Hopefully it won't be as CS oriented as FPSBanana.

sk3tch:

CS:Source and HL2DM are on the site already. We can add DoD:S if there's a community of mappers for it.

ReNo: Seeing what I can do for you here. I'll email you about that problem.

Also, the site will be oriented toward all games you see on the sidebar, as well as whatever additional games the community calls for.

News is submitted by users, and reviewed by admins before being added to the game news section or the front page. We don't want to hold any bias! We want all communities to feel at home on Mapwatch!

Just uploaded an HL2DM map to the page, and everything went pretty smoothly. As a suggestion I think you should allow more screenshots, allow them to be viewed in their original size rather than just the thumbnail, and even allow different screenshot sets to be uploaded per version of the map, seeing as you are focusing on aiding people giving feedback on in-development maps. Good job though, like the site

[Tectonic]

Hmm, the map hasn't shown up on the page yet...are you sure it uploaded correctly?
