What would it take to make a map able to play this gamemode?
Is there an ability to make maps able to be compatible with this gamemode, or would the gamemode itself need to have an overhaul to use maps other than GM_fork? I've only seen this gamemode recently and have had a blast with friends and would love to be able to make some maps compatible with the gamemode if i could. I would try to learn how if i could too but i can understand if adding more maps means tweaking the gamemode and not tweaking maps. I've seen maybe 1 other map other than GM fork that supposedly works but i haven't tested it myself with friends yet. Sorry if this seems long but this is a question/request i have.

You can't do it right now but it's a good idea for a future update, a system to make any map compatible by anyone. Thank you for the suggestion/request, i will do it when i have time.

Hey, maybe this is a small step, but maybe you could ask the maker of this addon https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1124240829 to allow you to use that to help out in making that a reality?

Also, could you just make it so the weapons/vehicles spawn on specific node graphs of a map? that way it could be compatible with anything? or is that not possible at all?

Bigcity would be awesome

Because I'm playing with small group of my friends (like 2-5), we need a smaller map. So if we can make our own map, that would be awesome

Is this happening? I don't really mind being able to add maps, if some more maps were added

On the developer's side, it seems it's not in the works. There needs to be someone who can make an edited version of the mod that can have custom map support, because i think the maker of this mod is a bit inactive. Maybe they can incorperate that GUI map i discussed earlier if it's possible, or they'd have to take a screenshot of the map, either way, i'd love for this game to allow more maps, like others have said, bigcity would be amazing, and i'm sure there's loads of maps that already exist or will exist that would be perfect for this mod if they were configured correctly for the mod, or the mod was configured correctly for the maps..

Update edit: I looked into the mod's files (don't ask how) and it seems that yes, the mod heavilily relies on screenshots of the map from a birds eye view. So much, in fact, that every marker of where a safe zone is has it's one image file. There's around 5 safe zone locations that shrink via 3 different images, and of course there's one regular image before the match starts. So either someone would have to create way more images for a new map and format the map so it can have safe "quadrents" like gm_fork, or the mod needs to be edited so it can change it's zones for each map and possibly use a new system. I bet that'd take a while to develop, but i'm not a master modder by any means.
