It means Southwest. It's one of those old 'map' things, such as putting dragons off in the void, and doing projections that make the player start area seem larger and more important than the rest of the level.

Interesting

"It means Southwest. It's one of those old 'map' things, such as putting dragons off in the void, and doing projections that make the player start area seem larger and more important than the rest of the level."

Can you explain further? I don't get it. What does it do?

It lets you know that that side of the map is pointing toward the southwest.

I feel like I'm being trolled. That's ridiculous.

Yeah

#25327 posted by Kinn on 2015/03/19 01:01:52

also, what do you mean by dragons in the void and projections and whatnot?

i feel like i've missed out on an important part of mapping history

Maybe it means Sleepwalkr... what if he's time travelling?

It's well known that mappers would often, due to cultural bias of where their spawnpoint is, make North America and Europe appear larger and more centered in their map, as well as mark unknown sections in the void with 'Here be Dragons'. Marking SW for Southwest is just helpful orientation for the viewer of the map.

Holy Shit Lol

Unfortunately

#25337 posted by Zwiffle on 2015/03/19 19:57:58

The only site I can think of off the top of my head is http://ut2k4.gamebanana.com/

I'm thinking I will start the event this saturday 21st and run the event for 2 weeks, ending the weekend of the 5th (sunday April 5th)

I will make a proper news post and all that shizzle

Btw

#25340 posted by DaZ on 2015/03/19 23:16:58

I think I will make a rule that the arena has to contain an interesting or unique twist, as I want to avoid receiving 6 arena maps where you fight monsters and that is all that you do :)

#25341 posted by Zwiffle on 2015/03/19 23:40:08

Arena must contain at least one penis.

HYPE UP THE JAM

cheers - found that site a bit "meh", but mapraider.com seemed to be pretty good.

This is pretty cool ... A Qonquer map jam that kicks off on my birthday. Perfect. :)
