It was over ten years ago I started building a website to host maps for my Soldat friend Ivel (Also known as Chrono). The maps were programmatically uploaded onto his site (then yossi.jrgp.org) and stored in MySQL. I was ~13.
We later came to the idea that we could open up the site for public use. This is what put TMS in its current form.
Ten years later, we still have at least a few maps uploaded every year, and now have a total of 1,597 user-submitted Soldat maps.
TMS differs from other sites which aggregate maps in that all of its maps are uploaded by the map's author, and was designed to serve as a portfolio of sorts, rather than just a collection of thousands of maps.
Here you can see, for instance, all of
VirtualTT's mapsOr
Wraithlike'sOr
my own, granted I haven't mapped since 2009.
You can also view all maps uploaded per year:
http://tms.jrgp.org/2010/?action=maps_timeframe2007 had the most maps uploaded, at 436. 2015 had the least at just 5.
Without further ado: here is the home page:
http://tms.jrgp.org/2010/I look forward to the next ten years of Soldat, as well as the mapping showcase, because I'm positive both will still be around.
Cheers,
