When it comes to using non-standard content, the least problematic are maps. It is only important that everyone plays the same version and that additional ''*.pk3'' files required by a map are present, too. Most of the time you will only find the latest version of a map anyway, or the older ones are marked as such. When choosing the maps for a dedicated server, it is important that as many people as possible have the maps (or not too many custom maps are needed), or can get them quickly (e.g. put a map pack on an server or download platform, because the standard download via EF simply takes really long, see also [[map_downloads#Accelerating Map Downloads]]) and that the maps are not all too computation-intensive. Especially on older computers, oversized or over-detailed maps can stutter, which is not very good for a fast game like EF. On current systems, however, this is no longer an issue. | When it comes to using non-standard content, the least problematic are maps.

It is enjoyable when a map is not played for too long. Each player has one or the other map on which he/she will not get anywhere. Therefore the limits (time, capture, kills) should be chosen carefully and with consideration of active modes and mods. Rough guidelines are 30 kills/5 captures, 15-20 minutes time limit. Then there won't be anything like 100 kills 10 death or so. On some maps, for example, the one with the arc welder is simply almost unbeatable. So it's no fun to experience 100 kills first hand. Also it should be a quite varied selection of maps. First CTF and then DM on the same map is boring. | It is enjoyable when a map is not played for too long.

Suitability for certain modes or game types should also be considered. Disintegration, for example, plays better on larger maps than on smaller ones. The number of players should also be considered. On a huge map with few players there is no fun, on a crowded map there is also no fun. However, the former can be compensated by filling the map with bots. | Suitability for certain modes or game types should also be considered.

The command to call maps (''/map //<nowiki><mapname></nowiki>//'') is applicable to //all// maps, but is only really necessary for a few. It is important that the name of the ''*.pk3'' file in the ''maps'' folder of the ''*.pk3'' file is used instead of the name of the ''*.pk3'' file. With this name maps are also invoked for map cycles of a dedicated server. However, this means that the ''*.pk3'' file can also have a completely different name than the actual map (e.g. ''pak0.pk3'' from the base installation contains a variety of maps, not just one). When in doubt, check it first. It helps to name the ''*.pk3'' the same way as the ''*.bsp''. (If it doesn't contain multiple maps.) The case doesn't matter when calling this command. | The command to call maps (''/map //<nowiki><mapname></nowiki>//'') is applicable to **all** maps, but is only really necessary for a few.

It may also be important whether a map can be played with bots (i.e. has waypoints). This can be recognized by the fact whether in the folder ''maps'' of the ''*.pk3'' there is also an ''*.aas'' file with the name of the map. If this is not the case, bots cannot play on the map. | It may also be important whether a map can be played with bots (i.e. has waypoints).

As in most games, Eliteforce comes with a set of maps that everyone who has installed the game will have. In a broader sense, it can be considered standard maps if you take the Expansion Pack's maps into consideration. Many have them, but not necessarily everyone. Here is a list of the maps that come shipped with EF (in the ''pak0.pk3''): | As in most games, Eliteforce comes with a set of maps that everyone who has installed the game will have.

As these connections were relatively slow, game contents to be transferred via the internet were kept at a size that made it practical, to send them from game servers to clients (the players) via the built-in [[en:network_terms:UDP]] map download. |

In order for that to work **on vanilla** servers, the size of a map **must** not exceed a certain value. This value can be derived as follows: | In order for that to work **on vanilla** servers, the size of a map **must** not exceed a certain value. This value can be derived as follows: |
| |
**This limit only applies to the UDP build-in map download.** If a server is of a newer version than the vanilla game servers, then it will allow for HTTP-downloads. This basically means, the map is not downloaded from the game server but from some HTTP server, that is references by it, instead. The actual download is then a simply file download via HTTP from a web server to the client. This also allows for considerably faster map downloads, which is advised when delivering files of the size of this magnitude. | **This limit only applies to the UDP build-in map download.** If a server is of a newer version than the vanilla game servers, then it will allow for HTTP-downloads.

This limit can also be circumvented by splitting a map into more pk3 files. As each file may be almost 64 MB in size but does not need to contain all files of one map, the download may not be speed up but facilitated at all. | |
===== Bots ===== | ===== Bots ===== |
Maps don't have native bot support. You can easily find out if they support them by looking into the ''*.pk3'' folder ''maps''. (If this is not available, the ''*.pk3'' is not a map file, but either a support file (e.g. with additional textures or sounds) or a model or bot.) If it contains an ''*.aas'' file with the same name as the actual map (''*.bsp''), somebody went to the trouble of giving the map bot support. In principle, this can also be retrofitted. Therefore you have to convert the ''*.bsp'' file from the ''*.pk3'' with [[https://github.com/bnoordhuis/bspc|BSPC]] into a ''*.aas''. A command line looks like this: | Maps don't have native bot support. You can easily find out if they support them by looking into the //*.pk3// folder //maps//.

The file obtained can then be copied back into the ''*.pk3'' folder ''maps''. There are a number of other BSPC functions that are not explained here. For Windows, there is a [[https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-55172/BSPC-GUI-v0-05|BSPC GUI]] to make your work easier. Most of the time, however, on maps that don't have bot support, not only was the mapper too lazy to do it, but there are technical problems preventing them from retrofitting the waypoints. But you can still try it if you're not sure. | The file obtained can then be copied back into the //*.pk3// folder //maps//. There are a number of other BSPC functions that are not explained here.
