Are you tired of posting alpha's and beta's and only getting a handfull of replies, of which only a few are actually usefull? Wouldn't it be great to get some proper feedback from hardcore players, which would immediately make your map better?

Guess what, you can!

We over at http://www.leveldesign.nl have teamed up with http://www.q4euro.com What does this mean? Well Q4euro runs pick ups from there IRC channel to play maps on their private servers. Sorta like the way Promode is often played.

The beauty of this is, we sponsered them a server. This means that our members can post their alpha's and beta's [meeting certain requirements] and we will post them on Q4euro's frontpage. They will put the map on their server and arrange pick ups from the channel to get people to play the map.

The original map thread is also linked allowing the players to give feedback to the mapper. This way you are always assured of getting replies and it immediately solves Quake 4 it's lack of bots. Since Q4euro is founded by pro players you have a big chance of getting some excellent quality feedback regarding the gameplay of your maps. Plus you get a lot of publicity!

So for those of you interested, stay tuned because the server will launch the day we receive Quake 4 and the possibility of posting your maps will also be present.

What an amazingly good idea. I hope it's successful.

I'm suprised LvL never had a server setup for some lighthearted map testing amongst the community. Seeing how succesful their site was/is for Quake 3 maps, a server like that would work out very well.

Thanks for all the positive reactions.

Listening to all the complaints from different mappers regarding the fact how difficult it is to find beta testers, especially for alpha's. I've no worries that it won't be succesfull.

But it also depends whether or not mappers are going to use our site

Just missed yours

Good point. I was suprised myself why no one came up with this idea. But heck, I'm glad I did

You should also try posting this in the LEM forum. I'm sure people there would be interested.

That sounds like a great idea, I hope it works as well in practice as it does in theory.

The q4euro guys managed the pickup ctf scene for q3 ok so fingers crossed it carries on for q4 just not 100 percent if having all mods for a game ran by 1 channel is such a good idea yet!

Great idea man, good luck.

As early as you're getting word out, I can't imagine why mappers wouldn't flock to the place.

As promised I deliver you guys a server for your maps to be tested on.

So hop on over to our Alphas, Betas & WIP forum and post those maps. Don't forget to sign them up in the Quake 4 Maps Server Queue sticky for server time. As always, here to serve you guys.
