I wish with all my hearth that the creator of the bots that flooded the good old akimbo dies SLOWLY in pain!

Some bots tried to spam the new akimbo but they failed to register.

The new akimbo is about 1 month old and it already provides 240 archives including 484 maps, textures, mapmodels, etc.
At the moment, 322 of them are available through in game auto download.

We have added a new section Maps v1.2 Requisite Fails.

We put there maps from our archives that will not meet up v1.2 requirements.
It will be up to the creators of these maps to rework them accordingly.
Note that anyone can with author's consent.

Quick overview of what you need?
What resources do the package mirror slaves use? I could offer an Aus one.

Sorry, can't help :P

I think you misunderstood the point.
When a server participates, we provide you a domain name like :
au.packages.ac-akimbo.net
(where au is the country code for australia)
Everything under this domain must be taken from akimbo. Nothing more.
Of course we won't ask you to host nothing but that on your server.
Just under the domain name we provide.

By the way, we're moving our main servers and need donations.

Didn't know we were enslaving the Aussies. This is news to me.

We moved to a new server.
I hope you can still access the web site like before.
If you're experiencing any issue, please tell us !

Akimbo will now generate map previews automatically (minimap like).

You can see these previews in the packages listing threads, and in your own map threads, clicking the "previews" tab.

Soon, we will have pickups and spawnpoints displayed on the "big minimap" (thanks cleaner for the icons)

Comparison AC minimap / akimbo minimap :

Of course, we also have textures previews ;)

Not totally happy with these icons tbh, I'll upgrade that whenever I have a little more time ;)

I think those simplified mini-maps look phenomenal.

Those minimap previews are beastly. Keep up the good work.

As I said I wasn't totally happy with the icons, so I redone them but with the actual AC style taken from the documentation web page.

So it should look now like that (items placed randomly)

Hm, is it possible to make them pop out a little more? Maybe adding some glow behind them or something. I'm finding it kind of hard identifying the icons right now.
Thanks given by:
#56
There is indeed a lack of contrast that makes them a little hard to spot but I'm trying a few things out, circling them, or as you mentioned some glow in the background or like fading out the minimap a little...

A glow behind them would definitely help icon visibility.
