Anyone heard anything?.....I've been looking every day to see who all won since Aug 20th.

OK -

( 1 ) Winners of the EA Map contest already know that they won - they have had to sign nondisclosure contracts etc

( 2 ) EA Will prob either (a) Release the details as part of the runup to the release of Spearhead or (b) release the details when spearhead comes out

well from what I have heard threw the grapevine...
I dont know if this true.. and I sure hope it isnt..

What someone told me is ALL the maps from MOH/AlliedAssault will not work with the expansion pack.
Any map made before the expansion can not be played with the expansion.
There having a brush issue.
And the map contest winners maps are not working correctly.
Honestly. I dont believe it.
I cant think of a reason why they wouldnt work.

I seriouly dont think they would release it with such a problem.
lets all hope not.

Again.. this just a rumor
I dont know if its true..

I would 2nd Rungsis "gossip" which i believe as being the truth.

The current maximum vis data size in Medal of Honor: AA is 220,000 this was increased to 440,000 in Spearhead as the levels are even more detailed,

This might have something to do with it

Crizz · 10-13-2002, 05:23 AM

WHAT?

Will that mean we all have to re-release the maps again to make them playable with the add-on?? - Crazy!!!

This would frustrate a lot!

Surgeon · 10-13-2002, 05:47 AM

I'll try and get some sort of confirmation of that - but I can't promise anything

Crizz · 10-13-2002, 06:59 AM

Great thanks, ´cause I´m currently doing another new map.

But how would that affect the original MP and SP maps? So I hope this rumor proves to be wrong! Can´t imagine that they "redo" the original maps for the little add-on.

A little birdie told me it was mainly spawn points and new entities with different values which may cause problems.

If i was starting a map now (which i am ) i wouldnt place any entities into it only design layout and buildings.

Also i dont think they have increased the VIS size as its still the Q3 engine and its the engin that can only do 2,09 million.
But not 100% sure on that .

Thanks kdja!

Let´s hope that we don´t need to resubmit all the maps and all players don´t need to re-download them. Would mess up the servers.

If there aren´t any probs then I´ll shoot your birdie, ok? :-)

Actually surge is correct they are upping the VIS data size.

Yes surge i seen it and i know its on TMT the website i admin where the EA lead mapper posted it.

Expecting your abuse anytime soon.

From my understanding.. its not a matter of re-releasing.
the maps will not work. period.
If you increase the size, then the original location of everything is incorrect.
All maps will have to be completly redone from scratch.

I am sure they will come up with some kind of fix.
I mean.. come on.. all maps?

The word is EXPANSION!
