FH 0.7 & Mappacks

***Pinball*** · May 11th, 2006

which Mappacks or maps can i add on the server (without server crash)?

how can i change the maps for 0.7? is there a tool?

You're running your own server?

There are no mappacks for 0.7 yet but if you wait a very short amount of time then the official fan mappack will be released. Everyone will download this so it shouldn't cause any problems with players...

Christ almighty!I Can't wait for that mappack. It's gonna be supernice!
I guess I'll just go grab a beer while I wait.

Although the Map Pack 6 will be the only one with all new stuff from 0.7, you can also go for Official Fan Map Pack 1, 4 and 5 as thy have maps wich are not repeated in the next packs.

I have been wondering about the above post, for some time. I was under the impression, that the older mappacks would need to be redone to work with .7 Then, talking to MrCheese recently (I think it was him ,or another mapper) he speculated that the old packs should still work as is. Is this true? I really miss some of the old maps, and am SO sick of some of the dice maps, that still seem to find their way into rotation. Why can't we have a populated, No dice map server?!? And how about someone start running some of the old mappacks again? I'll hit up the admins at WaW, and see if they might try something like that.

Trust me Roadrunner - wait for the 0.7 mappack

. It'd be great to get WaW admins running them on the server...

mappack 5 should still run in .7

although some of the maps are redone/upgraded in the new mappack coming out real soon.

but a few maps that i thought were pretty good are not in the new mappack, so load up mappack 5, then the new one when it comes out, and it will overwrite the old maps with new upgraded ones, and still leave the old maps that are not in the new mappack. this way you get them all

Just tell me that Ortona and Chartres are still in the map pack in the new version!?! Well mostly Ortona...I LOVED that one - they just needed to fix the 88 at the church that killed all friendlies behind it:lol:

Your idea about loading up map pack 5 and then the new one sounds good but won't servers probably only be running the maps that are IN the newest map pack only?

Sadly it looks as though Ortana's not in this release. I too thought that was a fun map.

***pvt. Allen*** · May 13th, 2006

Ortona is not in the new map pack. And servers seem to not run the new packs but...
You can install map pack 1, 4 and 5 without any problems, it won't produce any errors as long as you will install them in order. As far as I know only one map from map pack 1 is imcompatible with FH 0.7.
