Stronghold Map Voting

[Demonkush]

I'm sure some of you have realized...
...The map voting menu in Stronghold has two images, one says Winning Map, the other is the map you voted for.

Those images work, 100% (I installed map icons of my maps to test it  ). The only problem is the server isn't making everyone download the map icons, because there aren't any.

I wanted to bring this to attention and if approved/accepted I would like to take pictures of every map, and make map icons for every map on the server. Once I'm done I could post a link here to a .zip containing each file.

All it is are two files. The .vtf (texture), and the .vmt (material). (For each map)



(The actual path would be materials/maps/,  not MAPNAME/materials/maps/)


Thank you.

Sounds like a good idea 

Sooo...if I were him, I might ask this question...but i'm gonna ask anyway.

Watcha guyz thinkin' herz?

Alright, I've done it. I've taken pictures of each map.

Then I made them all into map icons. ( Not hard to do )

Here's a list of the maps supported:
=========================
sh_nuked
sh_lockdown
sh_map_finala15
sh_yard_08_sunset
sh_urban_crater_v4
sh_hillcompound_v2
sh_killbox
sh_bloodniron
sh_nexus
sh_cobalt
sh_strongdale
sh_darkwater -- Awesome stronghold map that was removed because of crashes on the beta server, but it works fine for me.

Maybe we can discuss bringing darkwater to the random servers in another thread.

Just plop them in your garrysmod folder and overwrite everything.

In my opinion, you shouldn't install these map icons from here, instead every necessary icon should be added to the server, so everyone downloads them.
( And once you've downloaded them, you can go to other stronghold servers and use them as well. )

Err, does it show the icon even though the server doesn't support icons? That doesn't seem right.

Should be implimented, so long as we don't get 2D shots of the map but ones that actualy show what the heck I'm voting for.
