Variety is the spice of life!

I have been playing (or trying to with my fluctuating ping) when the server was (near) full and despite all of the so called new custom maps being trialed, the only maps that get picked are the originals and the customs that have been played for a long time. I always take notice of what maps are there to chose from and and I can clearly say that;

1) New custom maps get skipped 95% of the time if they are in the choice list. Being there as only 1-2 to chose from or are most of them in the choice list.
2) Not all the players vote and hardly more than 50% of players vote for a map.

I enjoy playing new custom maps and trialing them. The objectives can be same but the gameplya changes due to environment. Recently I played (on a different server) sandstorm_beta2 and it is a big map. These players (24+) trialed it few times without being able to chose the map and they were ok with it…and loved this map. It just shows that you need to play it a few time before you decide…not once and not vote for it anymore.

Yeah. I have also noticed this.. Pherhaps I can edit the vote system some how to make sure that some of the regular maps get played a bit more often.

May I suggest a script included that logs the number of ppl who voted versus the number of ppl on the server?

D_R made a valid point, could be 20 ppl on & maybe only 10 paid enough attention to vote in time or were to busy typing !stats & then QQ or Rage Spec / RQ if the map is not the map they would like to play.

Myself personally,I have fallen victim to the !stats or just typing in mm1 & not realized time left to vote had finished & done the “omfg,who chose a sniper map or baserace!!!” & I’m sure I would not be unique in this scenario. 😳

But this may not be possible or worth the workload involved for the dev team,but it would make ama’s graphs look more slick! 😛

– Remove the ability to kick airstrike cans across map, makes it way to easy for fops to hide but still airstrike a choke point.

^^Yep, gotta f1 that, it makes the whitiest of players a pro spammer….

I have increased the amount of people required to vote before the next map is played form 50 percent up to 75 percent before the map is finally decided on, let me know how that goes.

set vote_percent "75"

– Remove the ability to kick airstrike cans across map, makes it way to easy for fops to hide but still airstrike a choke point.

I had not seen it as that before.. but yes the kicking distance is a bit too extreme currently and it is frustrating when fops boot a airstrike across and entire map due to being at an elevated point.

set g_canisterKick "80" - from 130

Should make quite some difference.

Kind Regards, BR

Good changes BR thnx 🙂

The airstrike kicking distance was really a bad mistake since G-Train could place his belowed can-child near his foot and pelt it across the field like Maradona and score multiple “goals”. Tisk tisk on using UBERFOOT.exe.

I think the voting will be better now 🙂 (played just before and it looks like it was a good change) 🙂

Cheers,

Few ideas for the forum

– Merge General PC/Laptop Help into General IT
– Merge PB help and ET support
– Remove RTCW 2 forum
– Hide State of Origin forum unless one is currently happening
– General support is possibly redundant?

Makes sense to me. Leaves room for Moe’s Quickie Mart to open for business 😆

Have been thinking about these suggestions with genuine interest!
1) possibly make 2 separate sub-forums within general IT ,hardware (including recommendations) vs software support that are treated as individual from the regular IT news stuff.
2) make PB Help a sub-forum of ET Help in the event we ever need it again or someone says “why was I kicked for TK”?
3)make RTCW 2 a sub forum of a new forum “other games you play” (maybe think of a better name)
4)State of origin as a sticky in another forum & not a forum in it’s own right.
5)General support could have all it’s threads re-allocated into other forums within oz imo

Good ideas there mess!

Ahh Mess and noob, I like the ideas very much. Can someone please pm this post link as Im doing this assignment for the next few days, and I will do forum work as soon as I finish. Especially if we move to different games, it would be much better if things were a little more compact 🙂
