Usually when you want to make levels available, you just send them to Leviathan to be included in the next update. That's probably the best way to distribute new levels reliably. (Plus crappy ones can potentially be filtered out  :) ) Anyways, sending good complete levels to Leviathan is probably the best way.

It might help to also give a description of what map/DLL it was based on and what changes were made.

Please send them 2 (file send dcc over irc is the best way)

we like 2 release map packs, and we release them at update/reuinion time :)

Or, we could make a webpage like www.outpostuniverse.net/maps.htm (http://www.www.outpostuniverse.net/maps.htm) where info on maps could b kept.

/me ponders the idea.

I think I prefer what Leviathan said. It could get pretty chaotic if everyone tries to distribute their maps their own way. Plus it's nice being able to install things in packs.

It would be better if we could make our own .dll's as it would open more possibilities (like my ying-yang map I'm working on yet again)

I am making a map section for the OPU site i just havnt got around to it yet.

All maps should be released in our packs so it ensures every1 gets them.

DLLs from scratch = MSVC 6?
