Custom Maps Database
Notice
All work is done. Use /mapinfo command in-game to obtain info about the actual map.
Introduction
Here's a little project I'll be working on from now.
First of all, I'd like to thank |ETS|Sgt_Marks for giving me a general idea.
It all started with a certain custom map we've been playing and which was, well, awful, though I cannot remember which one was it.
Having witnessed all the bugs and strange events which took place, Marks said: "If I'd ever be in charge of some Custom Maps Database, this map would receive the lowest rating possible".
Your wish may actually come true

What is it going to be? Since custom maps have no actual briefing you have no chance to estimate what should you expect in game.
There are many people who don't know the majority of custom maps or have never played them.
Not to mention some maps have bugs, strange, not working properly or poorly implemented in game mechanics. There are also so infamous questions: "Is there a red spawn?", "Does suspects wear armor/gas mask?"
Soon, you won't need to worry about such things and all necessary informations will be presented to you, so all you would ever have to do is to check what insterests you and enjoy your round.
Progress
It's still far from done and I'm filling basic info first. Everything marked with red will be added later as it's not of high priority.
In case it's not obvious by now, this database "has spoilers" about the suspects density, their equipment and any in-game events which might surprise you.
You have been warned. Should you want to know if there's red spawn or not only, you need to wait for the separate version.
Maps in database: All done
Maps tested: All done
Check main website menu for CMD access or see Hunter's post.
Many thanks to Hunter for his hard work on this!
Additional info
- Map name - self-explanatory.
- Red spawn - informs whether there is spawn for red team or not.
"+" = independent spawn for red team is introduced here.
"+-" = blue team and red team spawn in the same place.
"-" = red team doesn't spawn at all. - Map size - informs roughly how big is the map.
"Small" = is an equivalent of Fairfax Residence map of smaller.
"Medium" = is an equivalent of Victory Imports Autocenter, Northside Vending and similar.
"Large" = is an equivalent of Mt. Threshold Research Center or slightly larger.
"Very large" = refers to map which are unusually big. - Unusual mechanics - informs whether the map introduces any in-game mechanics which were not present in the vanilla maps.
- Armors - informs whether suspects wear armor or not.
"+" = almost all suspects wear armor.
"+-" = refers to 50/50 situation.
"-" = almost all suspects don't wear armor. - Gas masks - informs whether suspects wear gas masks or not.
"+" = all or some do.
"-" = there are no gas masks in this particular map. - Number of suspects - informs how many suspects will be encountered during gameplay. Because suspects spawn on custom maps are not random, you will NOT be given information about the specific number, so it won't spoil all the fun.
- Bugs/Performance - informs about the technical aspects of the map. Any informations about laggy gameplay, bugs you should be aware of can be found here.
- Rating - my personal rating which informs how enyojable was the map in my opinion. There are some comments introduced, place your cursor on the score and read it.
- Difficulty - will give you rough info how hard is the map to complete.
- ETS rating - will introduce rating from ETS members.
- Players rating - will introduce rating from non-ETS players.
Why is there individual rating for ETS and non-ETS? First of all, I have no intent of separating ETS from regular players. It's all because of differences in our tactics, gameplay style, pace of action and specific taste. If we find some map enjoyable because of it's not-yet-seen situations which require unusual tactic to be used, this doesn't mean you might like it too and vice versa.
Contribution
If you approve of this project and want to give a helping hand, I'll be more than glad, as I want this database to present as accurate info as possible.
You can help in some ways, choose any you might like.
1) Should you have any information which contradicts with the one presented in the database, please inform me about it. You can do so by sending "Misinformation Notice" via CMD option. Your info will be checked and the most accurate one will be added to the database.
2) You can check info presented in the database by playing the specific map in the server. Should you find anything contradictory, send "Misinformation Notice".
3) If you are unable to find specific map in the database, that means it hasn't been added yet. You can do so, by sending a "New Report" via CMD menu.
