Sven Co-op Map Database

Agreed. I don't even think there are enough mappers for "box with a light in it" maps to become a problem. If it were up to me I would upload everything, no matter what state, no matter how offensive (as long as it's legal), and at worst tag stuff with "literal-garbage" and section them off somewhere.

Anyway, if anyone wants a map that was removed here, I've been keeping backups of everything that gets uploaded since about 2016:

There are a number of maps violating wikidot policy, but reporting them all seems like more of a witch-hunt than McCarthyism.

Establish a clear set of guidelines that apply to all new maps on the site, new violators will be removed, while posts that are already in violation will remain being "grandfathered" in by existing before such guidelines were created. That being said if wikidot staff come here and demand the removal of content, by all means do so.

I recommend:
1. having a minimum amount of playable material (a walkthrough map like ghostfuck is probably a minimum standard here, being a "walkthrough" map with basic objectives; I would say that maps also need a definite 'ending' requiring something to change the level)
2. having the playable portion of content comply with wikidot's terms of service
3. having a "minimum average playtime" standard, this prevents "shit-posting" of hastily made low quality maps.
Using this standard needs it to be calculated using a minimum of *two* players, reviewers can post the amount of time it takes them to complete the map.

Ghostfuck being currently in violation of 1, 2, and 3 would normally warrant it's removal, but because of it's date of inception should be exempt from these rules.
For specific details of it's 2 violation, it violates the terms of service by including "any Content that contains nudity, violence, pornography, "adult content" or contains links to any other web site with such materials"

Make these rules clear to all members of this site, and keep them posted in well known locations. We don't need another instance of racist violence or penis monsters (both from ragemaps) in main-stream Sven Co-op maps.

it is a fun map we like maps like this

yes wtf iknow a punch of players play it pls reconsider ur desicion

Fail Mountain has porn in it. That violated the WikiDot Policy. Sorry Adam, I like the map a lot tho! But if Dynamite, a fellow developer, needs me to point out other maps that have violations I should tell him right?

See how this game works? I could report SCMDB to WikiDot for being in violation. See how this works? See how you can SUCK THE JOY out of living if you live 100% by your twisted fucked up rules?

It's just fucking infuriating. I was there at the begging with ColdBloodedKiller when he created this thing 10 years ago and it was a DATABASE FOR ALL MAPS EVER CREATED

Not maps that certain people liked, or even good maps, but EVERY SVENCOOP MAP, but no, some of you have taken it upon yourselves to shit all over peoples creations that they have slaved over, you guys are in the wrong, not me, not the mappers.

I am infuriated, certain people have taken it upon them-self to remove anyone's map that isn't 100% professional. That isn't right. I guess the Database isn't a Database anymore. I get not including a literal map with a box and a light, but people have made fun custom small maps that deserve to not be removed from the database.

My map had lots of secrets in it, it had many features in it, it had custom sounds and images, please don't remove my map because it doesn't fit your narrow point of view of gameplay

Thanks for getting back to me.

"Not Enough Gameplay" Is outrageous, a lot of people I know love the map, it is not just a bunch of boxes, i spent weeks on that map it's extremely not right for you to remove my map because you perceive there is not enough gameplay, you would prefer a long hallway where people shoot hgrunts that would be enough gameplay for you?

Classic map that still works but it appears you need at least 2 people to finish map 3.

So I checked into the map again. The reason the map page was removed is because there is no gameplay. Just box rooms with various pictures. And then the fist and Arnold voice clip, but that's not really enough. My suggestion is make a proper map; release that.

Throwing knife and sword wave are fixed.
Incidentally, I fixed impact attacks (AoE) too.
(-> Steel frame, Brick, Hammer)

And, adjusted some scripts.
Thank you for pointing it out. I learned so much.

In "weapon_higonokami.as" , You set wrong owner of "throwknife_shot" in "void touch",which had led to no scores be added to players. please fix the "pOther.TakeDamage ( pev, pev, HITDAMAGE, DMG_SLASH );" to "pOther.TakeDamage ( pev, self.pev.owner.vars, HITDAMAGE, DMG_SLASH );".
THX!;)

Not sure why the "boms" tag is missing, but it's definitely in the BOMS section of the message board: https://forums.svencoop.com/showthread.php/38637-Sector-E-Series

Tag added.

I've noticed that the RES files included do not distribute all files to players, so they often end up with sounds not being sent over. (Particularly speeches and the panther custom sounds.) I've therefore re-packed this map with all the resources, and included a RES files only pack.

Server operators in particular, please re-install this map so players get the whole content.

Edit: Forgot to say, this also fixes the kick ass music at the end of part 3 not playing. :)

"you want me to name every single map that has anything bad in it"

Actually, yes. That would be good.

Looking at the logs, I deleted that. It was tagged as abandoned and then deleted. But it does have a map uploaded to it, so it should generally stay. I'll look into the details of the deletion after work.

that map has been named that for over 10 years before SCMDB even existed. are you going to remove my famous 2007 map horsecock next? what about other maps that contain porn images, you want me to name every single map that has anything bad in it and we'll just remove those too?

http://scmapdb.com/map:ghost-fuck please explain. i was told it was okay to post, it was there for like a year, now I see it was deleted.
