A poll of sorts about the new servers.

[Ch3tan]

Okay I have made one of the new CS server pro maps only, and 8 map rotation running de maps; dust; dust2; inferno; cobble; prodigy; aztech; nuke and train.

Currently I have set the server up for max rounds 12, this means as soon as 12 rounds total are scored the map will change.

What do you think of this? Would you prefer a timelimit for map changes or a higher number of max rounds?

I cant make an actuall poll, so just voice your opinions. I want as many as possible, so if you know any subscribers that dont frequent the forum, point this out to them.

Ta,

Ch3tan.

I've been running an MR12 server for a few months (as you know), and 12 rounds is a little short. 15 or 18 is probably better.

 

[Tom]

Ch3tan, I would really like the margins to come down on map changes by votes - perhaps a 51% vote would be sufficient?

And can we have ff voteable?

 

[Will]

What you could do is have the admins able to trigger a FF vote. That was you'll only have FF on when an admin is on the server. No TKing/TWing idiots required.

Wot about non subscribers who do frequent the forum ?

heh, i think you should install the Basics of AdminMOD, been thinkin for a while, i mean it shouldnt lag the server *in theory*.

 

[Will]

*cough*Clanmod, then you don't get tempted to add on all the extra baggage.

I think the pro server running all the league maps is a good idea, i'd like to see a Popular maps server, a custom maps server, a complete rotation server ( do we have to include storm and survivor? they make piranesi look good ).

Installing admin mod and allowing us to use admin_vote_map might be a good idea, with the new cpu setup it shouldnt cause a prob. Also WEB STATS!!!

g'aaaawn

good to see your talking to the community

 

[scooby-doo]

yeh im with the cow,on wanting admin mod,and the ability to vote map cant be bad.at least the majority of players will get to play the map they want.i dont really want web stats cos ill be fucking botom.

 

[Ch3tan]

All well and good, but I really would like to know your feelings about mr12 or timelimit in this thread. We can discuss everything else afterwards.

 

[scooby-doo]

i dont really have feelings tbh.


but i can lick my own balls.

 

[Will]

I already said MR12 is a little short. But Ch3tan, do you ever check yor PMs?

 

[scooby-doo]

probably not as he gets about 1000 a day.

 

[Tom]

MR12 is fine by me, it does help for those who don't want to leave the game when a map they dislike comes on. They know the sooner they kill stuff, the sooner they get to the next map.

 

[Will]

It's great for me, since I always make the pistol round. But MR12 sucks for people on poorer connections, or who don't delete their custom spray file.

 

[~YuckFou~]

If there was a full rotation server, with map voting enabled we could simply choose what we want to play.

et voila

Why?

p.s. i am a noob


p.p.s. in the nicest sense of the word


p.p.p.s. I like piranesi (see 1st p.s.)

 

[Tom]

cos the slower ur connection, the more chance you have of missing the 1st round - ditto custom.hpk

 

[Ch3tan]

What pm? irc or forums? I didnt get any!

 

[Will]

Forums, and it's disappeared since I sent it...

 

[Skyler]

Timelimit is best

But I dont mind either way, as long as there are people on the damn server

 

[Rubber Bullets]

I like the 12 round idea, chet. I've played the one on BY an like the turnover of maps.

There are not so many people on 56k as there used to be, but if those that are have a problem with it then perhaps increase the number of rounds a bit. 14/15 ish?

FF on/off is no big deal tbh. On would be my preference as i'd assume that as the community is now clearly smaller & more intimate i'm sure we can all handle the occasional accidental death at the hands of a team member. I'd suggest a 21 min timelimit with 3 min rounds to "encourage" people to play faster. Apart from my personal hatred of de_dust, everything else seems fine.

 

[Ch3tan]

I lowered the round time from 5 minutes to 4 minutes to encourage movement anyway. I will up the max rounds to 16 and see how it goes, if we go back to a timelimit, would a lower time like 20 or 25 minutes be preferred? That way all the maps can be seen in a shorter timeframe.

 

[legendario]

I like mr12 and the 4 min round.

SO all is cool with me and i'm with Mystic G (shock horror) on the dust thing. If that could accidently dissapear i would be even happier.

will you marry me? or we could screw a couple of times


as for the issue of mr12, i love it to death. nice quick maps, good turnover.

and even though everyone seems to hate it except me, can we have an office only server?



oh, and i would personally love to see ff=on on the servers. as someone said earlier, we have removed the lamers from the servers (well, most of them).

i wanna be able to kill, not one, but 3 admins with a HE into the tower of cobble.... urm, nm, been there, done that.

I'll pass for now, ask me when i'm 65 & a widower or summin......

 

[ECA]

mr12 with a 3 minute round time would be nice on the PRO server as it reflects match settings.

 

[Ch3tan]

I Will leav it at 16 as some prefer a longer map time, its still a faster turnover on maps than a timelimit. Roundtimes lower than 4 mins seem to take all the strategy out of CS.

I personally dont see why admins shouldnt be allowed to enable FF when they are on the server, and off when they are not. But thats for ZaPpeh to decide.

 

[Will]

See Ch3tan, you should just put me in charge, you just end up using all my suggestions anyway.
