Hmm, though I guess a lot of VTT's masterpiece's will never make default status due to poly count or sceneries, I still can't play Soldat without at least playing on one of VTT's maps (Trenchwars FTW).

Though I'm not much of a mapper by any consideration - I still make stuff in PW anyway (since I still want to make some cool maps and actually release something final and public one day), but didn't do much testing with animated .gifs as I wanted to. That sucks if .gif's make Soldat unstable. I wouldn't mind seeing maps with some cool *undistracting* things going on, such as something as simple as a few fireflies flying around, to flickering lights in buildings, to muzzle flashes, fires, random background explosions - or even distant vehicles going by. I wanted to do one map, where in the distant background, you could see a train go by. Not really interesting, but still kinda neat.

.tga and .tiff filetypes are rather uncommon filetypes, so nobody even bothers to use them as .gif .bmp .png and .jpg are the defacto standard of image and animated images sharing.

And even then, .bmp is oversized shit, and .jpg is blurry shit, unless you want to make it not blurry shit, and it that case it simply becomes oversized shit.

Just wondering: Is Conflict still under consideration for default?  If so, I already got a "fixed" version that meets the requirements that's ready to be uploaded.

It isn't under consideration. In ctf case only the maps that have topics at default map discussions.

I saw it was mentioned in the sticky, but oh well.  I already got used to the notion that you guys will never consider anything I make a long time ago.

Sorry for missunderstanding, WL quoted there zakath's very original suggestion in beta team. Updated it now.

In ctf_Conflict case, it changes Kampf's gameplay too radically that it couldn't have been considered as Kampf replacement but as new map. As new map it's okay map but at least I didn't find any hook that wants me to play that map. I don't like the top route that leads safely to flag and safely out (pretty much same thing as in Jungul).

I thought most people just used black colored blank.bmp scenery to make those borders... it wouldn't show up on the minimap
