Let's start of from the beginning, i think the old topic was getting a litlle to big and lot's of changes have been made to the "custom FUNday" What is custom FUNday? It's a event LZ hosts on a weekly basis that gets hosted on one of our "normal rotation" servers, ONLY custom maps get played (hensce the name) Hey sounds great!! can i help? Offcourse you can, it's a neverending job. you can help us look for maps, help filling the server during the event, help out with the down/uploading of the maps, preparing maps for the DownLoad server,... I'm not a admin, So how can i help? easy! you can still post maps here that you seen, tested or like, you can help us keep the server full during the event, help other people with the layout of the map (tourguide ) What day is this FUNday? at the moment i'm working on some personal stuff toghetter with organising this day again. so it used to be on sunday and after that on monday. i'm going to look what day('s) will work out best. I have a idea involving the FUNday but it's not a map (settings, timelimit, respawns, etc) how can i tell you about it? well same as you can tell us about the maps right here in this thread. i'll make a linked topic with all the maps we're going to play on the custom FUNday Current FUNday setup - RTV & Nominate enabled - Day's (not yet chosen) - mappool stay's for 1 month instead of 2 weeks (bigger mappool + vote so every map get's it's time to get properly played) Leave all your suggestions and question in the forum below (PS i'm going to edit this original post as i/we learn more about how we are going to orginise it) :lol: Maps & downloads http://www.lethal-zone.eu/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6669
Sounds great, I'm sure gonna be there Maybe we should do the first custom funday on a saturday or a sunday, more people online = more players in our server, right ^^? It would make that a good (hopefully crowded) first funday, which will show people that custom maps cán be fun. If you do it on a monday for example, you might have the problem that many people are busy with school or work, and we don't want that to happen since it'll just be like normal, only like 4 people in the server. So I think the first custom funday should be on a saturday or sunday
Which one? Hope it will be "All maps", because I play on "Payload" server only because of goldrush/badwater maps
on all maps #1 and funny friday (more people then too, as opposed to monday i think) unless the complete LZ people are all party animals (which i must say, i dont believe hehe)
will do xD still thinking to use some more known custom maps allong with new ones (again a tactic to make it a wellknown event)
i gathered some maps i wil make a stickie when i come home later today with the maps i chosen for this month's custom night's there are around 15 maps i found that we haven't got chance to play and recent customs i'm also going to use some more eused customs (pl_swiftwater for example) just to brake the ice a litle and on the end of the month we'll probably know all maps and deleted the maps we don't like (maybe replaced with some new one's) hope you guy's going to like the new setup i'm also going to bring the RTV percentage down a notch so people are less drawn to leave and instead RTV if they realy hate the map so guy's check the forum tonight for the sneakpreview of the maps haha, will keep you posted the rest of the week how thing's are going :ctf2: :lol:
Can't wait to check out the maps ^^ decreasing of the RTV percentage sounds like a good plan, as today I was server filling, and we came in Egypt. Now many players didn't like the map and wanted to change it, so they started RTV. Unfortunately they left, when RTV didn't get enough votes, which left me alone with like 3 other players again xD. But really, I think this all is an awesome plan ^^
I tested a few maps and so far just make sure cp_dessertFortress is IN the list, and cp_blackmesa IS NOT in the list :lol:
cp_hotrod http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/117891 cp_takeback_mountain http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/126974 cp_follower http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/92392 I tried to choose the maps with quite stable perfomance.
My suggestions for FUNday: 1) Disabled statistics. 2) New fun maps like "Mario" maps, maps for jumping, deathmatch maps etc. 3) Different plugins like low gravity and similar. Maybe something more but I hope you understand the main idea - fun. Playing just for fun without loosing a stat points
Lol that's might be a pretty good idea. That way we can even get real statwhores in, since their stats won't decrease ^^
