hmm not really . There will always be newer maps who players want to play and older ones which aren't popular anymore, even in the mapvote. So that's a continious process and that's fine actually (i think)
Still not updated the mapvote file, have been to busy uploading new maps. ( uploading to 3 servers + compressing and downloading :lol: )
Sooo mapvote has been updated. These maps are out: cp_japan, cp_amsterdam,cp_castle4. these have been added : cp_freight,cft_aerospace, pl_waste, pl_cashworks,pl_swift,cft_mach4. Option 1 is now the standard maps, the other 2 a mixture of regular maps and customs. Suggestions,changes/addons??
There is no custom version of turbine, what you offer as custom map is the one that has been made official. I wouldn't mix up customs and officials. This is how I'd do it: Code: "official" { "slots" "2" "cp_badlands" {} "pl_badwater" {} "cp_fastlane" {} "cp_well" {} "cp_egypt_final" {} "pl_goldrush" {} "cp_granary" {} "cp_gravelpit" {} "cp_steel" {} "cp_junction_final"{} "cp_dustbowl" {} "tc_hydro" {} } "custom" { "slots" "1" "ctf_aerospace" {} "pl_cashworks_b2" {} "cp_freight" {} "pl_frontier_b2" "pl_swift" {} } I left out the maps I don't know, additionally I added all official tc/cp/pl maps to the standard vote. I hope the "slots" parameter specifies how often the category will be displayed for voting, that's why I set it to 2.
Indeed, slots represent how many maps of that group will appear in the vote. The name of a group is just a name, doesn't mean anything actually for the vote itself. The way i did it, 3 groups, will give you at least 1 vote option for a serverfiller. If you have 2 from that group, you could have for instance junction and well + freight in a vote. 3 groups is ''safer'' i think and gives the choice between a server filler ( or a not-server emptiying , which everyone likes in a way and 2 more unknown or lesser played maps. Don't think in standard and customs, but in server fillers and interesting customs / regular maps Let's see how it works out
badlands suckssssssssss!!!! The servers have emptied too often in the past on that map, but maybe this time it'll go better. Will add him anyway (ps. don't blame me if players leave on that map ^^ )
wel people will or won't choose it so... just add it to the random shizzle so they've got an other normal map too choose
uhmm something I noticed today. people could choose from steel and 2 customs. I think because nobody knew the customs they choose steel result was a massive lose of players... I think we should let them chose out atleast 2 normal maps
Servers emptied on steel again :S ok, so 3 options, 2 of them are standards. 1st one offers the failsafe standards, option 2 the rest of the standards and 3 customs. Will install the vote on server 1 too. editing soon.
Added on server 1 and 2. So in every choice there will be either dustbowl or goldrush too. Failsafe ^^ can add another map on option 1 of course. Bring it on!
ahum: results of the vote so far: dustbowl, goldrush, dustbowl, goldrush, dustbowl, goldrush, dustbowl. Ow and 1 time well. But, server has been full since 10.21 hrs this morning.
Yeah I noticed that today, we were like playing dustbowl godrush only, so after 3 times when the vote came and the vote was dustbowl, I let the people do the vote again, and then we played gravilpit (16 votes) So I think you should, adjust the vote, with less goldrush/dustbowl.
there will always be people on shitty goldbowl servers, but none of them cares as there are too many alternatives. do you wanna know why i'm in this forum? because LTF2 had the only server with reasonable pings that played fastlane and steel and all the other maps that everyone hates if you ask any admin. the server ran well, i learned to like the regulars, but hell no, i won't join any corpse of a once-good-server that has been made mainstream just to attract more players, no matter how much i like the people there.
is server 3 dustbowl goldrush only server again? and I really like the new vote but we indeed need a few more maps in the first... maybe badwater or something. BUT an other solution might be that we put the *save* choices on number 2! because the peeps who really don't care about the map they play just press 1 so it's away...
Can always switch the order of course. On server2 the maps after voting is like this : steel, dustbowl, hydro, turbine, goldrush ( at this moment). so option 2 won 3 out of 5 votes (= good). This votesetup makes sure by the time you join the server, it is full so you guys can play on a full server with different maps. This vote gives clearly the choice between standards and customs. 2 standards mapvote options., 1 custom. as wanted. everyone always forgets the amount of work it takes to get a server filled.
