Re: [glob2-devel] Beta 5 default maps

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi migi,

thanx for bringing that up now. those maps you listed for removal are all maps
that annoyed me, too. actually some are only maps i created to test my random
map generator so they are absolutely pointless in the release ;)
http://hg.globulation2.org/glob2-new/rev/6d0e8eabc7c2
looks like those maps have been in since before the switch to mercurial.

removed them all.

please do so. they are fun. best would be to use something like -u"zenfur
<address@hidden>" in the commit.

don't know these. Please get to a decision until Wednesday and add maps
accordingly. Only try to keep size at about what it was before.

it's Dejans now.
Also renamed weakness to have a capital W.
I gues i will remove others later.
