Maps...maps.... and more Maps
Finally, after a few months of hard and steady work, the maps crew have added over 400 assorted (mainly deathmatch) maps to the Maps archive over on
maps.quakeworld.nu. This is the first batch of many batches to come.
The Map Screenshots project was started several months back with the aim of trawling through 5887 quakeworld maps and taking screen shots of each and every map. The screenshots project has been generously supported by the following people:

This arduous task has now been completed and the next difficult stage of the project is to now to categorise the maps, import them to the database, rate them, add descriptions and group them.
We are currently in the process of adding a ranking system to the maps archive so that users can rate maps they like and dislike. This ranking mechanism will help make the better maps more visible in what will be a sizeable archive when complete. We will announce via news post when this feature has been completed and fully functional.
When the current phase of the project has been completed we hope to account for almost every map that was created over the past 15 years since quakeworld first came out. This will cover all singleplayer, deathmatch, team fortress, CTF and Trick/Aim maps.
As always we need help from the community so if you'd like to help out and spare a couple of hours here and there then please let myself
pleura or
ParadokS know.
P.S.: Under Contribution you can only see Para's ego trip.
P.P.S.: If you check the CTF maps, there are a few non-CTF maps in it
