Payload server

Wow, nice ! I can't wait for the end of my exams now !
If you can find the list of the custom maps that used to be on the PL server, just add all of them. I can't remember any name, but I know they were all good enough.

 

Gave this a go yesterday evening, joined with 3 people and it filled up a few minutes after. Just needs a chance to get going.
Could definitely do with more maps though - there's only 3 at the moment I think? Stuff like Frontier and Swiftwater at least would be nice, considering Swiftwater isn't even in the AM1 rotation.

 

Well, those two are both official Valve ones... Just having all the official ones would be nice

 

Code:

"umc_rotation"
{
    "normal vote 1"
    {
        "maps_invote" "5"

        "pl_goldrush" {}
        "pl_badwater" {}
        "pl_upward" {}
        "pl_barnblitz" {}
                {
                        "weight"        "2"
                }
        "pl_frontier_final" {}
        "pl_hoodoo_final" {}
        "pl_thundermountain" {}
        "plr_hightower"
        {
            "min_players"     "20"
        }
        "plr_pipeline"
        {
            "min_players"     "22"
        }

    }

 

Well, it turns out Swiftwater isn't even official

But yeah, what Alias said + <a class="postlink" href="http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6749" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=6749</a>

EDIT: Maybe also plr_nightfall_final (also official)?

 

With quickplay we can't have custom maps, so all the quickplayers would leave and we would only get new players via direct browsing to it, and the server isn't popular enough yet, so it would drain it.

 

Swiftwater is one of the best maps for this server... I bet a lot of regs would be surprised not to find it in the vote or in !nominate.
Maybe it's possible to add a "minplayers" coniditon thingy ?

 

So you guys figured out what was causing some of our servers not to get into quickplay?

 

Probably from a slight deviation from the guidelines:

 

We removed swiftwater from AM1 because even when it was full on primetime and it switched to swiftwater, at least half the people left instantly with more and more following after. Custom maps are just killing most community servers. You need a really good big regular player basis to pull it of.
