Title: Stock Maps with Locations: GPP Map Updates
Post by: Lakitu7 on March 20, 2011, 12:09:31 am: We've added locations to the stock maps, so that they are more playable in 1.2. You have seen these on the Official Servers, but that was done with hacky serverside hacks (that I believe were the cause of that INVALID CONFIGSTRING error that kicked people sometimes). By properly adding locations to the map files this way instead, the locations will properly trigger even when the map is voted, and also the maps+locations are available to be put on other servers.

Yes, this is why you are redownloading all the stock maps on the official servers. Yes, they will autodownload if you play there.

The only difference between these maps and the originals is the addition of locations.

And also Ingar's update of Tremor, which has more than just locations, and has been available for a while:

You may also consider ATCSHD, Ingar's update of ATCS that has locations and new textures and other visual tweaks.

Thanks to Undeference for writing the script that made it possible, http://betaserv.tk/hacks/updateentities

the bad: Looneys like me cycling through all the maps on an empty official server because it's more fun than to just download it
the ugly: the language the respective script was written in

all in all:

thank you, guys

this is where i'd normally post an image of a bum holding a sign that reads "I bet on Duke".

good to hear about this fix. and that i'll be redownloading stock maps when i get back in game, think i mights freaked out and checked my files if i redownloaded stock maps without reading this first.
