Test Maps... in Landgrab?

Post by InkL0sed »

So apparently, at Landgrab, you can upload and play any map you want. It won't show up on the default list if it isn't endorsed. I don't quite know how this works, but since we're in such dire need of map testing, maybe map makers could test their maps over there? Just a thought.

it's not fair to Landgrab. I'd rather have no testing than have people do that

It is pretty much abuse of other peoples resources.

Besides, at landgrab you can't test your XML file which is probably the only problems that come from our maps 90% of the time. That is why we have the XML inspect tool to check it with ;)
What do you know about map making, bitch?

Long ago this idea came up, and it was shot down--because it isn't very businesslike. It happened a little, I remember, and some Landgrab folks came over and said they weren't a testing ground, and they were right, so lets not turn them into one.
