I know that you've renamed the Deck maps to start with 'Deck', but what happened to the 1on1 maps? like DM-1on1-Contact is now DM-Contact and DM-1on1-Magdalena is now DM-Magdalena.. wouldn't that mean we'll have 2 copies of the same map, but with different names? can you rename the 1on1 maps back to their original names? I'm asking because I only have 130 MB left on my UT drive, and it's the only app on that 2 GB partition..

thanks

Ah ... that would explain why I could not find the Slithless map the last time I played ...

Doh! Then youre really going to hate the latest map pack. I've renamed a lot of maps. I'll try to think of an option but this is going to suck. I've found that a great many of the maps have been named based on the file name when downloaded rather than th actual map name that displays when you hit F1 while playing it and reading the bottom. The deck maps will be extra wierd to fix as you have described though I see your point and the problem. I'll get back to you on this.

take your time. I see some value in renaming the Deck-like maps (having the names start with 'Deck' group them in the mapvote list), but with renaming the 1on1 maps, it's going in the opposite direction (taking off the '1on1' part scatters them in the mapvote list).

I tend to think that it is best not to rename maps, so players can easily go to other places and download the samp map. not only that, by not renaming the maps, there is zero chance of you introducing conflicting map names. by you introducing conflicting map names I mean you can rename a map today to say, DM-DeckTheBestDeckEver.unr, and a month later, a map comes along and is also called DM-DeckTheBestDeckEver.unr, now you'll have to rename at least one of them so you can have both maps on the server. so now you've spent time to rename two maps total when if you hadn't renamed the first map, you wouldn't have the conflict when the new map came along a month later and you have spent no time renaming maps.

I don't pay too much attention to the map names on the F1 screens as they are not consistent at all (I seem to remember seeing some map name on the F1 screen to say 'Untitled'). I only use the map name on the F1 screen as a guide; the filename for the map is what I consider to be the real map name.
