Quote:Banning servers with a twin-towers-only map rotation is one thing, and that's perfectly okay because you run the masterserver.It is the same... the guys who spent days of life developing, coding and creating maps and models for this, do not created it to run Ezjemville... and I LOVE TO PLAY EZJEMVILLE... but we need to respect the limits of the engine and the purpose of the game. The new server side requirements just follow these guidelines.
But banning maps server-side, just based on the judgements of a computer which determines if it's a "crap map", is totally different.
Quote: I thought one of the main purposes of all Cube-engine games, including AC, was to create your own maps, maybe together with others, and then share them and PLAY THEM. Without any dumb restrictions applied, of course.If you want to create and play a huge map, play Sauerbraten.
If you want to play a huge map in AC, do not create a public server for this.
