Title: Training maps - Recommendations
Post by: jukeboxhero on July 03, 2009, 09:00:27 PM
Hello everyone,

Does anyone know good training maps that I can download to improve my skills?

P.S. Maybe we can set up a forum sticky note for training maps, which even though are not GPL'd, but players can download externally to practice etc.

You should try the mod Defrag (http://q3defrag.org/files/defrag/defrag_1.91.13.zip)

There are lots of maps for Defrag on http://q3a.ath.cx

Thank you everyone for your responses. I will check out those links that have been posted.

I have a question though. I have a public OA server that I keep online some of the time. Can I put these other maps from the sites you pointed out in rotation on my public server? Will it be ok as far as licensing etc is concerned? I am still more or less a newbie in this so an answer to my query will be greatly appreciated :)

Of course you can!
Just make sure the players which will play on your server have automatic downloading on. (It's off by default)
