Ok i as we all now the PL-server is hard to fill up but i think it's because there is no change in maps (goldrush,badwater,goldrush,badwater,etc.) so what do you say we trow on a couple off custom PL maps (pre-test them on custom monday's to) you can select all 10 if u want it's just to get a idea of maps everybody like's (so maps that get 0 vote's won't make it to the server) Here are the URL's if u want to see the screenshots and aditional info on the maps Beerbowl http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=8041 Outback http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=7715 Jungle http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=5995 zig http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6948 swiftwater http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6749 Great Heights http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6000 wintertown http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10794 downpour pass http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9989 Cashworks http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6143 waste http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=5933
Voted for swiftwater, but the only problem is that when a map is voted and it isnt badwater, goldrush or pipeline ive seen the server empty or nearly empty.
who was PL only admins? i think they could give more of an input into this. and taht's why i posted this in the general TF2 topic so everybody can vote na di looked on the server and only customs where cahsworks (verry big map -> not so populare with normal tf2-folk) winabago, the dustbowl-map, swiftwater and plr_cornfield (mapper is a member of LZ) so not realy that much variation in the maps swiftwater is imo the best custom PL-map out there. so i hop we get some feedback from the PL-admins and the comunity PS you can vote for all the maps or a 3,6,2... it's just to see what map(s) are possible candidates
I don't think we have any payload only admins left (or maybe 1 or 2...) every player and especially admins should/could be familiar with the server, its players and the maps. some maybe a bit more then others but stil.. voted for jungle because you don't need to play it to have fun. you can just walk through the bushes and over the beaches and have fun on your own :lol: (nice when filling the server)
One way of fixing the goldrush, batwater, goldrush etc, is to have both of those maps on the same vote menu. This should help others maps being played on the PL server.
I'd love to see the map-rotation on the payloadserver be different from the goldrush-badwater-goldrush-badwater-etc. it is now, but the sad truth is, that's what people vote for. And if the mapvote doesn't include badwater or goldrush, people generally leave, which is the antithesis of what you are trying to achieve. I think if you want the payloadserver to fill up more easily, change it to a popular map-server by adding maps like dustbowl to the votemenu.
with the plugin we have on the normal servers (#1 #2) it's possible to activate a vote with the customs (for example) after the amount of players is higher then "X" and it's easy to eighter include both goldrush and badwater in ech vote or one of each every vote and so on... I just don't play on the server because of my feelings towards goldrush (F***** **** ***** ***** ****** map!! hahaha) so maybe trow in a vote after the visitors reaches 20 or something (with random customs) so the vote looks like this : under 20: - Goldrush - Badwater - Hoodoo - pipeline over 20 - Goldrush - Badwater - Hoodoo/pipeline - random custom (list that picks a random map)
i voted for swift because i love the map. But as stated above, the servers tempt to run empty easily when a random map is played. What could solve the problem, is changing the maplist so that neither badwater nor goldrush are on the #1 option
Hi guys, Just wanted to give a heads up that I realeased the latest version of Great Heights this week. Only took a year, but it's finally here! So if you guys do end up wanting to include it in your rotation, or if you're a bit tired of the old B2 version - be sure to checkout B3 below! http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10875 Cheers and I hope to see you on the servers sometime toutfou
Played the older version ( b2 i guess) on the pl server ad the map rocks Curious about the overhaul you did
