Now that is how map moderation is supposed to work -- nice one, fellas.

I think the forum posting approach is better (and MUCH faster) than just adding comments directly to maps.

Spilt Pimms has now been made official map and is now in the Random Pool.

Congrats Ian.

It's a pity we can't do this with more of the maps on the very looong list. Some maps have been evaluated by mods (some of which are no longer around) as long ago as couple of years! The system doesnt really work too well. Bringing the moderation out here should give us a better chance I hope.

Thanks Jaques -- have now done just that.

You should delete the old "shuttle crash" from your maps altogether, and then create a new map with the split pimms as name.

Hmm -- can't seem to change the name. I've tried uploading the revised files about 5 times now, and changing the name, but nothing seems to be happening. I can't seem to delete the old map & start again, either.

Hi Ian

I'm still seeing 'Shuttle Crash' on the map list, you need to upload the map again and you can change the name of the map as you do so.

Re: Ian Sturrock's Maps.

feeds@yuku.com (Ian S Sturrock) — Mon, 12 May 2008 07:16:11 GMT

OK, have now sorted out "Spilt Pimms" (previously "Shuttle Crash").

Well we are an efficient team when we get on the mood and have the time! You should only see the list we're prepairing atm... One of the bigger patches coming around again at some point.

Wow -- that was quick! Thanks again.

I've uploaded Grenada, and put 3 Open challenges out there, to get some test games on that too.

Congrats IS, your map Stately Home has now made the official random pool

Thanks, Jaques. I believe that Fuzzy has a way to do it without needing to mess around recreating every single tile, though. My RSI is bad enough from work that I don't want to aggravate it with map making too, if I can help it!

I've done manual transfer on couple of maps when I had to change their size. Ie, Road Toll was one what I did it on... You just need to put LSN on windowed mode and start to reconstructing your map on the new size from the finished model you've got there. Plan view is great use on this.

Is there a maximum length for map names? How about renaming Shuttle Crash, "What the devil was that, old chap?"

Or just "Spilt Pimms".

Yep. I think I like Spilt Pimms best, if I get to pick the name.

OK, I've uploaded an updated version of Stately Home onto My Maps, if you want to check it out? I will take a look at Spilt Pimms later in the week. I'll also see about transferring Citadel & Roof Garden from my son's PC onto mine...

Shuttley Home? It's your call on the name.

The nature of spaceship maps make them very Grey/Psyker friendy but they're fun to play. That reason is enough to make it hard for them to justify getting into the random pool.

Perhaps if more people test it out (faint hope!)

What I'll do is create a post where players can leave new map...

Grenada has no tests on it, yet -- if we can get Stately Home and/or Shuttle Crash and/or Boarding Action sorted, though, I'll get testing it.

Stately Home:
Not on my main PC right now (my missus is using it for a Skype conversation), but will check shortly. Sounds sortable-outable, anyway.

Shuttle Crash:
Name-wise, I think it needs to keep Shuttle, to go with the other Shuttle maps (as the shuttle in them is identical). However, it could fit in the Stately...

Hi Ian, hope you don't mind us doing it in public?

To make things easier for both of us, I'll list your maps here with any comments from the map mods and take it from there.

(comments to follow as and when...)
