Idea

Okay i have an idea for AA new feature, maybe you could make it so that on the AA game there is a map generator so that if people have a server and want to change the map, they can make one and put it on the server. It is quick and easy!

Hope you like my idea.

I think there are a few scripts that rotate maps if that's what you mean, or you can include a map you have made to a server you have admin in with the console. I might not be understanding you though.

I think he means you have a map creator built into Armagetron, so you can make maps straight out of the box without downloading/using another program. Then, make it so you can choose which map to play in an easy-interface menu (think course pick in Mario Kart) that has all the maps you have made/downloaded.

Interesting idea, just would be an absolute nightmare to program. Be liking re-making the entire game, wouldn't it?

Typically, map editors are separate programs from the actual video game. All of the Armageton devs are rather busy with not only real life. But, with a new, experimental version of Armagetron. A map editor is NOT a priority at this time. You all should keep in mind, the current version is .2.8.3 rc4, and the current experimental version is .3.1 or trunk series. Please notice that none of these numbers is 1.x.x. In the world of open source software, a 1.x.x number is indicative of the first "fully-formed" project. So, the emphasis is really on the code itself, not a map editor. There is a community of map makers, and yes, it is difficult to make a map! However, it is not a good idea at all for the dev's to put focus on the issue that you have raised. It is much more important that a new version of Armagetron is not only delivered, but made fully stable!

O okay i see so maybe we should stick with what we have on arma
