Maintenance is over and the new spawn is now live. This has been in the works for a few years, and been built over the last 7 months by @wavelyte! She put in a lot of hard work and it shows! While I cannot claim credit for any of the aesthetics, I'd like to talk about a few of the design choices I was involved with towards the beginning of this process.

This spawn has a few major goals based on feedback provided from the last spawn.

1. Make FFA+ maps more visible.
This was accomplished by doing two things: Making FFA+ more centralized to where the player appears, and repeating the map signs for FFA+ maps alongside the rest of the catalog.

Ex:
9831
9832


2. Remove nested hub areas
Co-op, guess, search, and a few other map types were wedged into other spots, and needed their own areas. We wanted to make sure those had plenty of room to grow.

3. (WIP) Redo the layout of the signs to include additional information.
With the server being as old as it is, it can be difficult to tell when something was created. When migrating signs to the new spawn, authors were moved to their own sign to leave the fourth line blank. The intent is to rework the bottom two lines to list the publication date, and include a message to right click the sign.

For greens+, the old spawn can be accessed via /warp spawn!


Here's a few "prototypes" for the current spawn that were put together in staff meetings.

The triple cross design:
9827


Second draft of the plus but in 3d:
9829


Third version of the triple cross design, pretty close to what was designed:
9830


WIP of the hub layout:
9828
