Rorke's Drift. [QUENCHED]

[Gillipig]

There are almost more maps on beta than alpha right now ! A lot of active mapmakers! I tip my hat to all of you.

Yep, and one of the 9 in Beta now will have the honour of being the 200th map on the site at present.

Actually the next map to hit beta will be the 200th!

how? I got it to #199!

See the next map to hit beta will be the 200th! And it looks like it just might be this map!

No I mean we've got 193 open maps beta and alpha, and 5 closed maps so right now we have 198 maps. The next on beta would be number 199! Am I the only one here who didn't sleep during math lessons in school ?

193 maps in Alpha and Beta.
5 closed maps (holiday maps)
1 map that is no longer playable (Classic Art)
=199

Battle at Rorke's Drift

Classic art, wasn't that the original classic map which then got a facelift not very long ago? Classic and Classic Art is the same map if I don't remember it wrong!

No, read all about it in a future edition of the dispatch. Just finished an article on classic map.
Classic has been through a lot of revamps but art was made outside of classic and by different people. Both versions are counted as different maps.

But no games show up as Classic Art! All the games that were played on Classic Art now show up as Classic. So even though the graphics were made by different mapmakers both of the maps contain the same amount of territs, the bonuses are exactly the same and the XML is identical otherwise the games from the past couldn't be merged with the newer. I won't post more about this in this thread since it's quite off topic . I still won't recognize them as two different maps.

[koontz1973]

Read the article, but to suffice for now, they are different maps.

Stay off topic if you want, nothing else to do till I get to Beta or someone spots something.

There are 198 maps. This excludes all versions of Classic, as they are all lumped together with the current.

Semantics, but I will further say that this is the 200th as stated by isaiah40 because of the one that we all forgot.

Random map.

It is classed as a map all of its own according to the map portal.

Now stop trying to spoil my day.

[Victor Sullivan]

Lol, not trying to. Just giving you the facts Who knows? Maybe Istanbul will be 199.

I'm glad you have my back sully .

Is it possible to make some colors more colorblind friendly? (e.g. Shaka - Buthelezi)

btw, I confirm that actually we're at 198 maps

I do not care if I am 199 or 200. I just want to play.
I do really and I am the 200th. With the proof as well.

Please.

Pretty please.

Pretty please with a cherry on top.

[thenobodies80]

Much better!

HI all,

koontz has changed the starting positions and has asked me to retest the file. I hace confirmed that everything in the file is the same except for the initial positions. And the initial positions are ok. So the change is also ok.

[koontz1973]

Thanks you mods.

I was going to send the file to lackattack when I noticed that Sithembiso is spelled Sithembisa in the xml.
I'll send the files to the turtle as soon as the mispelled name will be fixed.

Thanks for spotting that. It was not the first time that I had changed an O for an A. All fixed and checked with the xml checker to make sure I got them all.
