NEED SOME NEW MAPS LOADED ON SERVER!!!
« on: April 14, 2003, 04:04:36 PM »

hey all!
i would first like to applaud all the efforts and great work being done on the server and forums!
secondly, i would like to say that we need some maps loaded on the server. We need iceworld, iceworld2k, and pool day. When i come onto the server and no one is there i try to change it to a popular map, usually dust. However, iceworld and pool day work a lot fast and almost garentee people to start coming in the server and playing while dust and other maps dont. These maps should be loaded on so that we can vote for them in game (u know the whole admin_vote_map "insert map name" thingy).
Thridly, we DEFINATELY need longer map times!! its only 20 min, which is entirely too short. We need like 25-30 min maps. ok those are my suggestions.

I agree with you ayo about more map choices. Personally, I absolutely despise poolday, iceworld and the like, because they have nothing to with the values that CSR (supposedly) prizes: team work, objectives, and good sportsmanship. In my opinion, if you want a shoot-em-up fragfest, you should play Quake or Unreal Tournament.
On the other hand, I want the server full as much as anybody, but I don't think poolday is the way to do it. Consider this: We want to attract people who like to play for the objectives and like playing as a team. If we put poolday and iceworld in the rotation, we will attract people who like fragfests. If we then change the rotation to regular objectives based maps, we will loose the players who are there to shoot anything that moves, and we will be back to square one. Why don't we just stick to our philosophy from the very beginning and draw in the people who like what we are trying to value? An anology would be like Subway trying to get people to come in and buy sandwiches by advertising greasy burgers-- it just doesn't make any sense.
I believe poolday has already been loaded and added to the votable maps list, though so if that's what you want to play, it is available to you. I think map times should go up too. 20 is just too short. And while we're at it, I don't know why our bomb timer is set to 35, but that just isn't enough time. After all the discussion, I still fail to see why 45 is less preferrable.

u misunderstood me. i DONT want iceworld, poolday, etc IN the ROTATION. However, i want it to be loaded onto the server so that if its empty, a person who goes in there can put a vote for it (using admin_vote_map mapname) and switch to the map (iceworld, poolday, or any map he wants thats loaded on the server). With iceworld or poolday, we can fill the server faster and then it will go back to objective maps either by vote or map time running out. Yes we will get some people that are frag festers, however, those will probably only be the first couple, then more regulars or objective people would enter the server when they see more people inside. Its kind of irrational and improbable to think that ALL the people in server playing iceworld are frag festers who will leave when the map changes. I agree with u, it shouldnt be in the map rotation, but i should be utilized to fill the server with peeps if no one is there. Besides, a person doesnt HAVE to do this. If a person who goes on the empty server wants to stay on the map or switch to another objective map, thats fine. I just want the OPTION to go there to possibly fill the server.
Does that clear anything up?

Yeah, I understand you ayo. Thanks for clearing the confusion up.  Like I said, I think iceworld is already there and available for voting. Your wish has bee ngranted my friend. 
Can you post some links to download the other couple maps you suggested for me? (ZeroPing's CS Maps site probably has them.) Either Daniel, MysteryMachine or myself will see about getting them on the server for you then, okay?

I uploaded these maps to the server yesterday. They are votable but not in the map rotation.
cs_assault2k
cs_assault_upc
fy_iceworld
This is just a start and we can get more on as soon as people voice what they want.

Heres just a Idea. I was on a server the other day that gives you options to nominate maps for voting for the next map. After nominating it will give you a option to vote on the nominated maps so you will have a list of 4 or 5 maps that were most nominated that you can now vote on. It comes up 1 minute before the end of the map round giving you options
Example
1) stay on this map
2) Fy_Iceworld
3) Whatever
4) Whatever
5) Whatever
Why not put in a system like this??
Then people can vote on what they want on the next map and the majority vote will win.
I also think a wide range of different maps should be installed on the server so that when voting you will see diffferent maps all the time.
Thats just a idea.
I will get the addy of the server that runs this and send it to the admins if they want to put in this idea.
If its ok with the admins I would like to add a new link to this site on my php server at my home.

That sounds like an idea to consider. I also wanted to point out that map voting is available to ALL players. So if you or a group of you get tired of playing a certain map you can certainly vote for another one without the need of an admin. In addition an automatically updated list of current maps on the server will be going up on the website shortly.

yes i was goin to suggest that, but scrappy beat me too it  hehe  . But if you want to know who does that is the kort people. on there servers they do that. Come to think of it it might just be one of the servers. But the great part of this plan is that it doesnt really follow a rotation b/c it is the majority that nominates and decides what map is next. Therefore there are no "uggg i hate that map" comments and most everyone is happy. The KORT people however starts the vote after 20 rounds have occured i believe. I do not like this part of the idea and would rather have it like scrappy says at 1 min before the change. just my thoughts!
ayo
ps. is there anyway for a non-admin to change gravity? b/c on a map like scoutzknivez, having low gravity makes the map a bajillion times better.

Da plugin you speak of is part of ClanMod, and possibly statsme (according to Scoobs). I can look into this within the next few days and see what can be done.

The specific server I have seen it run on is out of BC. Its a CS cafe that runs it as far as I can tell.
AREA 51 GAMING (209.90.165.10:27015) is the server I was talking about running it. Check it out to see exactly what I mean. Watch out though its a heavy hacking enviroment, Admins/players everyone pretty much. (cept poor Scrappy)
Web site www.area51gaming.net
No idea what mods they are running but thats not really my department

It's a good idea, and Ryo has been working on that on and off for a couple weeks already. Unfortunately, we have a few things working against us on ReconGamer's end of things that are keeping it from happening. Besides that, it's a mild security risk to let any random joe upload anything they want into our game server's map directory. Wouldn' be nice if somebody uploaded a map that was intentionally corrupted so that is crashed the game server.
What will (eventually) be available though, is this functionality for CSR Staff Members only through the iMS.

Porter and or Ryo,
I do recall that X and I could get several poeple to play on when we were playing cs_mice_final. I really enjoyed that map, and I think others liked the ecclectic-ness of it also.
Just my opinion though,

I just uploaded cs_mice_final to the server. Once again it is only playable by vote and not in the map rotation. Have fun!

Couldnt we add back into the rotation or something some of the Maps that came out with updates to CS? they are technically "new" maps and not frag fests as they do reflect objectives.
