[Release] Untextured Maps (including High Haven + new maps!)

[CrimsonXander]

These maps will increase your FPS and aim (since opponents stand out more).

Notes:

• Previous Untextured maps were released but most were buggy and High Haven was not included.
• Avoid posting screenshots with your character name on it (blur / crop your name out, since these maps are potentially ban-able)
• Please report any bugs you encounter with these files, I will fix them asap

Notice! The untextured map files may not be suitable for the following people:

1. Players who are used to having Light Map off (turning it on makes maps darker)
2. Players who lag with Light Map on (you have to have this option on for these maps)

Update! As requested:

Can you create normal maps with removed water and smoke?

Complete, check the 'other downloads' section for download links.

FAQ:

• Can you get banned for using these maps?

Short Answer: No | Long Answer: To get banned for using these maps someone would have to report you to gunzhacker@ijji.com (or whatever the email is) with evidence that you use them. The only evidence people can use is if you screenshotted yourself playing using these maps and forgot to blur your name out of the picture. Then and ONLY then it's possible to get banned. I don't know anyone that's been banned for using these maps, and there is no way of finding out if you use them UNLESS you're dumb enough to post an ss with your name on it. End of.

• Why use these instead of Archetype/Sols config?

Archetype/Sols config only reduces the texture quality. These maps have had their textures completely stripped off them. Benefits are: Better Aim (since enemies stand out more), Better FPS (a lot of effects have been deleted). You can also use these maps WITH Archetype/Sols config and it will improve the performance further.

so its basically custom config without the custom config part

Yeah, it was released before but there was some buggy maps and High Haven wasn't untextured. I'm attempting to untexture the new maps and fix old ones atm

It seems High Haven doesn't have any XML info (that's supposed to hold the info about where the textures are placed on what coordinates etc) compared to other maps.. i'm certain that is why it isn't working so... I may have to build High Haven from scratch or something (unless someone can help me out and tell me the coordinates for the textures / objects)

That's my theory anyway.

Ahh, apparently the High Haven RS.xml was encrypted! I'll search around for an decrypted version

---------- Post added 07-29-2010 at 08:05 PM ----------

Woohoo! I found a decrypted version of High Haven! I will be untexturising it right way, expect an untextured version soon

Thanks! You guys are 1337 hax0rs

[DwItsCineplex]

dude, i'd use this but the untextured mansion just blinds the fk outa me

[GookSaga]

can u make the water different then the old ones and add a little light cuz mid of garden is dark make it so low texture and ez to see popele they stand out something like that cuz i can hardly play gunz at 40-70 fps and if i hit atleast 120 i can probably be a monster so i hope this helps once everything is fixed ^^.

[CrimsonXander]

Sorry, went on holiday for a while ^^ I'm back now, I'll start fixing the problems.

So, so far:

Mansion, Blinding Light
Garden, Too Dark

On it.

Edit1:

Fixed the water (I've actually just removed the water, so instead of water it's just empty ground)

I will be releasing a Version 2.0 of the maps when they're fixed

[Hobo]

I will try them when you fix the garden / mansion problems. The no water sounds completely awesome on island, because I have quite a hard time running gunz even with sols. Can't wait, thumbs up!

I thought this was banable? oh well. Thanks +rep

[CrimsonXander]

Yeah its map hacking which is bannable, but they have no way of finding out unless you screenshot your character using hacked maps (Even then you can probably get away with it since it looks similar to archetype ). You can avoid that problem though by blurring out your name in screenshots. Problem solved :P

[Antwon]

^ Alright, I noticed you edited the post? Keep me updated if you have them all finish,will ya? Thanks :P

Nice work.

Yeah, just adding a little bit of info from time to time :P

Sure thing ^^ Thanks and np

[CrimsonXander]

Done, added new links to original post

[Hobo]

Doesn't look that bad, but I won't try it if their that dark. My pc is so bad and the color quality is absolutely **** so it would be like a lot darker then those. Need sols with those maps or better, would it work?

yeah sols works (and makes it even better)

And they're the same brightness as the standard maps

[Tyugaa]

Lol, this is the same as Archetype, Archetype is just not ban-able :]

[CrimsonXander]

It's not the same, Archetype reduces texture quality, these maps have their textures completely stripped off them. Also, i removed a lot of 'effects' in the maps so you should get a better fps boost.

You can also use Archetype WITH these maps for superior performance, also because there is no texture on the maps the enemies stand out more (so it improves your aim)

Edit:

I've added an FAQ on the original post, check it out.

[Krey]

will try

[Ephidemical]

Since my computer isn't so good and i get high fps lag in some maps, I'll try them... But I have a question: do they work in GunZ Pservers? Like for example, Euro GunZ? Because when I'm in mansion, there are some places which I start to fps with no reason.

Yep they will

[Ephidemical]

Yep they will

Thanks

[aznpiggy]

about to test it right now
hopefully, this would give me more fps compared to the previous version.
