No, the problem I have would be more like, you give everyone an option in advance to choose between Salmon, Sardine and Halibut. Same thing with a different look to it. The way Kick is taking right now is something I like. And if nominations work then you can blame it all on the players if it happens again.
Seems like nobody noticed yet: rtv on #1 =/= rtv on #2... On a full server you need twice the number op votes on #2 than #1 (I think on a full server: #1 = 7 votes - #2 = 14 votes)
@pim: if we dont know who comes , we cant choose the food for them. Anyway, these sort of issues have been coming on / off for the past .. euh.. 4 years? Only thing we can do is like kick is doing, come up with something new. Maybe just maybe in the end we find something, but its the nr 1 challenge of all communities.
offcourse nobody did, this was an other test i did because people were complaining about beeing stuck with a bad map. fixed it now it the same on #1 and #2 server #1 is running the new vote, so far as i see all your arguments are been handled with it. seen lot's of cp maps (weirdly enough no badwater haha) so i think it's what you guy's want. but to be sure #2 will stay on the old vote for now untill i'm sure the vote meets your and the other members/visitors standards so keep me informed how things are working out. ps: i'm also looking into getting the nominations working again
There's a new modified mapvote for sourcemodwhich sais it includes functions of the one we use. Need to look it up.
That would be best I guess. The current one isnt supported anymore and appearently a bit buggy as well.
and on a side note haven't gotten any responce on the new vote yet :roll: does this mean it's aproved?
Played for a bit yesterday. I like the fact that nominate works and there where more diverse votes. Still haven't been playing enough to give a good answer.
still testing the nominations because they require the old mapchooser plugin to work so now i'm going to test (on my private) if our current mapvote plugin and the mapchooser plugin can work toghetter and the "new" plugin we found to replace the current is not what we want it to be. it's a addon to the old mapchooser and adds a sound warning for when vote's start and a percentage counter (and some other useless comands)
tested RTV, nominations and mapvote on my private test server and it should work like i want it to (currently i'm testing it on server #1 because if it goes wrong i don't need to fix 2 servers and this way i can just migrate the changes to #2 when testing is a succes) kippensoep also asked if CTF maps could get a timelimit of 20 instead of 30 minuits, so i'm starting a poll on the other topic to see what the rest thinks http://www.lethal-zone.eu/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=7092&p=88513#p88513
fixed the maps repeating themselfed so now the last 5 maps will NOT get into the vote. or they have to be nominated and voted for using RTV. so is everybody happy with the new vote? if so i can migrate the changes to server #2
I have probably come into this a bit late, but i have a suggestion (feel free to rip it apart) instead of having 1 PL, 1ctf/cp, 1 random. Have 1 cp, 1 ctf and 1 random (that is not PL). LZ already has a PL server (where i spend most of my time) and when i want a change from that and go on the allmaps servers i dont want to end up playing PL again. Perhaps have it so PL maps can appear in the vote as extras to the 3 auto suggested ones only if they are nominated? Also @ Doelwit i dont see it as complaining, but rather striving to improve the servers and community we already love so much. May i take this moment to say thankyou to all of you, especially those of you who help keeps the servers running so smoothly. This is for all of you: http://tinyurl.com/35bw54e
will take this in consideration and will put some other maps into it but it IS a big improvement non the less no more hightower, upward, coldfront, thundermountain, repeat and no longer a dustbowl, badwater, goldrush, random map, repeat eighter well i getting populated again, we played a few rounds on turbine we even played a round of ctf_sawmill xD (wich i weirdly enough kinda nice when they don't clusterfuck it with engineers haha) also found this new CTF map that looks pretty good actualy (have to test it to see how it plays) but reading the reviews everybody had only good things to say about it. http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=12006 also maybe a nice map for the PL server http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=8041
New maps would be awesome, as long as they're actually getting played. :/ Anyway, the new vote is much better, yesterday maps were played which I haven't seen for ages.
think if we take it slow and vote for the map often take it one map at a time haha. wanted to add coldfront to the list before valve anounced releasing it haha
