    Ive been wondering which kag vanilla maps could qualify as our own "dust2". I believe by simply naming the vanilla maps the community would be able to determine which maps work and which dont. adding the new map names to the server list would be a nice addition too.

    right now its just "oh that map with the unfortunate water accident waiting in the middle," or "the one with the floating islands where you will never be able to defend the first flag," as well as "the map that is big enough to support 100 players"

    The vanilla maps do have names, if i'm not mistaken, but they aren't displayed anywhere in-game

    Easiest way to find out what the maps are called would be to go in the actual map folder.
    (X/Steam/steamapps/common/King Arthur's Gold/Base/Maps).
    Just a little addition to what Trumbles said.

    I hate these moments when i have to search kag beta folder through my PC to find name of a single map...
    i guess best place for a name of map is esc > up left corner

    Alternatively, you could have it listed at the top of the scoreboard.

  7. yeah maps do have names its just most of them are really generic shit so you dont really tend to remember them

    millenium bell, tres flags and liquidate are all i can name. i dont even remember the name of my map in the rotation

    I don't care where it goes, maybe at the top during building time, or viewable when you open the tab/escape menu. Perhaps in the server descriptions too, and definitely in the skip map box, but I think that map names need to be more known. I hate having to describe maps everytime I mention one's name.
     
  11. im pretty sure its been suggested before but im too tired to find the thread right now. will merge later.

    anyway would be a good suggestion if majority of kag players cared about maps but, sadly, i dont think they do

    Haha, we'd probably have to find real names for a bunch of the maps if this was added. I wouldn't mind it though, wouldn't be too hard to set up, would like it to get some more support before I bother adding it to the TODO though.

    This sounds like a neat idea for sure. Would be nice to be able to identify certain maps easier and also to specify which maps are less favored/playable so that they might be changed or removed from the rotation.
