He wants you to make a map pack with all of MAD's maps in it.
nice work on those sites, btw.
Wow, I really like SLAP. I find it very useful. Back on topic, unfortunately I can't help you with page design.
This looks pretty cool...I like the list of maps and how it also shows a picture of the map.
Do you guys have any ideas/suggestions towards these scripts or the site?
Ok thanks for clearing that up. But what in the world is he going to do with nearly 7000 soldat maps.... Too many to play.

I notice most replies say they want mappacks. It turns out actually I had been wanting to add a feature that would do this (and would be useful to soldat players) (Theres a post of it in the Developers Corner). I want to add a feature that allows anyone to create a mappack, just by ticking some checkboxes on maps they want. They will then get a link, that they can post online. (without having to worry about uploading maps yourself, cause they are already on MAD)What do you guys think?
Now what could you possibly do with 2000 CTF maps? I agree with Frenchie in that MAD is primarily for finding a lost old map easily and quickly.

I agree with Frenchie in that MAD is primarily for finding a lost old map easily and quickly.Sorry, poorly phrased. What I meant was specific gamemodes, like DB or TW or whatever. Modes with enough maps to be a pain to download one by one but few enough so you'll want them all. Though something like "?action=download&ids=*&name=kz_*" would do.

(Just noticed a search for db_ will include ctf_Stupidblum... )

Notice the sorting, tiny overview clip, pagination, multiple site themes, etc. I'm in support of this (but probably more like 50 per page, and only display screenshots of people who have uploaded screenshots for it or something like that (wouldn't work well with the tons of maps tho)), but due to the number of pages, you could have a filter up top by map name, file size, physical size of the map, etc.
Ok I might add pagination later on... but I still dont get the point of browsing through hundreds of pages, when you could just search for a map

(think of how google, yahoo, and facebook do it) And once you've got this set up, make it so you have to specifically click something to get to the huge maps list instead of being forced into it.
