Custom maps in online multiplayer

from Sins Forums

I know that Stardock offers the Galaxy Forge program for making custom maps as well as the map designer, but is it possible to play customs in online multiplayer?  When a host chooses to play on a random map, everyone receives the randomly-generated map, but what if the host chooses a custom map or a map he made with the map designer?  Will the other players receive it automatically and an automatic download?

Maps made with the in-game designer will automatically share in ICO. GF maps don't share yet but it's something we'd like to add in the future.

Thanks for clearing that up. I hope that you guys add that feature, too.

As a long-time Unreal Tournament fan, I can assure you that one of the large contributors to the life and popularity of that series was being able to automatically download and play custom maps when connecting to a server. (My avatar is a screenshot of a UT99 map that I published.)

I have a couple ideas for custom maps and it would be great if I had a reason to put them out there.
