Really? -_- Damn it... I never clicked on the Dev posts so I never saw them..... very helpful. Thank you Leither Yiltron!

npnp, sorry for being terse, was in a battle. <3

Just glad someone posted. Does the community have nick names for these maps as well? Because I've heard some other names thrown around that I didn't see in there. Sorry to be a pain!

"Lag Facility", "Happy Camper", "Train", "Not this again", "mushroom map", "hope we don't get DC'd", and many others.

Your homework all be to find out which of the maps these names belong to.

They're all over the place, but you'll typically hear some kind of reference to either a prominent geographical feature (ex: "bridge" map for Spine Crescent), or you'll hear a reference to the number of points (Iron Delta sometimes gets called "4-point" and Skim Junction "5-point", perhaps with an added "city" to indicate the central city socket).

There's something to know about how the maps work. The playable terrain is constructed from three separate components:

(1) The terrain map - This is what most people would call a "map". It determines the places where objectives will appear, all of the underlying terrain, spawn points, that sort of thing. What it doesn't determine are the buildings that objectives are contained in.

(2) Large socket components (outposts) - Many of Dust's maps have a central area which the terrain map doesn't describe. That area is instead described by the outpost which is placed there. As the name implies, the outposts are the large "city" type structures on these maps. They're listed under that category in the maps sub-forum.

(3) Medium socket components - These fill the holes where some individual objectives go outside of the large socket's area. There might be two or three mediums in a match. Typically they all come from a single set which are racially themed.



So when people talk about "maps", they're usually talking about the terrain maps (Skim Junction, Spine Crescent, etc.). Once in awhile, though, people will talk about large outposts. You'll have to determine from context which is which. You might know all of this, of course, but maybe it'll help someone. >~>

Ah, so you haven't done any homework either? The errors are mostly Node related. Maps have actually... little to nothing to do with the situation.
