FYI - couldn't D/L and test it yet, on my way to work - AC-wiki on MediaPack .. so you can prepare it in a way that it can become a MediaPack supported by the engine! ;-)
If you're already aware of this and have even prepared it properly .. just take this as a hint to anybody wanting to do one of their own!
You'd need to get the MediaPack-ID assignment from a developer, of course.

EDIT: removed surplus quote of previous post
This is a map pack and will not contain any textures! Also website is currently under construction.

It's a necessity to add textures, mapmodels, etc if you want to include some of the more interesting and high-quality custom maps out there...
RE: The All New Map Pack! [Beta] - flowtron - 20 Oct 11
And it's also totally beside the point ;-P
The name MediaPack was chosen due to the previous paradigm of MapPack, which was unflexible. The idea & technicalities of it are explained on the wiki-page. Of course, you're still free to provide a simple bundle of files on your own. But everybody was clamouring for the engine to be able to easily manage download of additional media - maps, and all - and this has, so far, only been used once.
The dev-team is fully aware of the amount of maps out there that aren't quite worth the bump in release-package size (mainly those that include one-time models), but still are played frequently. That's what a MediaPack can manage for you!
You'd go online, do a getmap (or auto-download) and immediately have the URL to download all the media required by the map.
It still makes sense to use this for maps-only (really w/o additional media) IMHO, if just for the sake that then nobody else has to bundle them on their own.
Do as you like, just thought Qontrol might be unaware of the feature - as there are so many who seem to be - and, as I said, I haven't yet checked the D/L itself, so I couldn't know it was a cgz-only bundle.

@flowtron this is just basicly for -dyH| but available to the ac community as well.. I will include textures later on!
RE: The All New Map Pack! [Beta] - flowtron - 20 Oct 11
Oh, so .. you're saying even "beta" is an exaggeration? :-P
If the pack contains textures MediaPack is definitely the way to go, if you want to be engine-conform/-friendly. If you don't, you don't.

It is just a thing to get my mind off studys for a while, and my mums ankle as it is broken.. I just need something to clear my mind.

I refuse to accept this as a real project until MEGATOWERS is added.

Why bother anyway when there already is a place to download whatever material you fancy?
