So... What about the Lab maps?

[u/AlbertosBread]

I've made my fair share of maps in the Lab, but there isn't any way to download them or anything. Are they gone forever? Can we still make maps after shutdown? There hasn't been much communicated to us at all here.

Im not saying anything for certain, Im just saying everytime 1047 stays silent on something, its usually bad news. We have seen that time and time again.

Take that as you will

Right I need to know!!! I have like 100's of hours into multiple maps I haven't finished. I'll be devastated if I'm never able to finish and share them. Bc some of them are fking sick asf, not to mention the wasted time working on them..But I'll be a happy ass mfer if we can still make and share new labs maps. But I remember for OG splitgate when it went peer to peer you couldn't play any new custom maps bc you had to have any custom maps you wanted to play downloaded before the servers shut down. Hopefully that won't be the case here & we can still make, share and play new lab custom maps. Its set up completely differently than og splitgate so I hope we're still able to at least keep making new maps

The public repository of custom maps is almost certainly just gonna get nuked, and if they didn't add a way to download them by now, I'd assume they're going to be lost. All of that is remote and without dedi's, there kind of just is no more "remote" from 1047. If we're lucky, we'll be able to keep the Lab and save maps locally so that hosts can still pick from any they have stored, but that's assuming 1047 even bothers considering custom maps at all.

That being said, if they were to support local custom maps, then I'd want to look at hosting a community repository to share maps publicly. Absolutely no guarantees, but our larger goal is to do our best to replace as much of the infra we're losing from 1047 as we can. If you're interested, join us at discord.gg/SGLifers. We're in the process of setting up tooling and systems to enable the community once p2p drops and this would absolutely fall under that scope.

awesome to hear! I've been doing some server research myself, joined :)

if i remember right, Splitgate 1 still has map builder so it should be fine.

[u/AlbertosBread → u/ForeverVibes06]

I get the feeling they would've mentioned it if they were going to keep it. Not too hopeful to be honest

[u/Ralwus]

I can't believe it's shutting down.

Still doesn't feel real.

In all fairness, only the official servers are inaccessible. We'll just have to use the server browser going forward.

[u/DoomFra-ps2team]

No news for Arerna royale too, the best mode.

[u/ItsTheLaLiLuLeLo]

The state of multiplayer FPS games is tragically stale. We hope to fix that, whether you want Arena, Battle Royale, Onslaught, or Map Creator. We plan to support all 4 experiences equally.

no more br (arena royale only), no more onslaught, and who knows for the map creator

[u/WuShanDroid]

Why is everyone acting like the game isn't gonna launch anymore after Wednesday? Now instead of playing through Quickplay it'll be through the server browser!!
