Lunk August 17, 2004 Share Lunk Member August 17, 2004 You know it's kinda funny. Everyone is talking about having a DAD, inferno, & nuke type rotation. But when they come on during the day peeps split. When I'm available. I hop in and try to get things started with some scoutz or deagle5 just to attract some peeps. And yes I normally do a 1-2 punch with scoutz & deagle5. In hopes that people will stick around for the standard rotation. But like yesterday after these 2 maps were played then aztec came up and it looked like rats fleeing from a sinking ship. Another scenario being: I've gotten people in with above 2 maps then we've played 1 or 2 of standard rotation, I will take a break or take care of some things I need to do, come back a half hour or an hour later and the server is dead again. One thing I would like to suggest is: We take these crazy kz_climbing maps out of the rotation. That rotation seems to run most of the morning and it really doesn't attract anyone. This all reminds me of an old sayin' (please don't take this out of context, I'm not mad or being defensive here) "Time to put up or shut up" So, gentlemen you've done alot of talkin' here. Now it's time to back it up. PS: You're right Mag, I don't do alot of posting in here. Seems when I'm on the computer I spend most of my time tryin' to keep Trop goin'. When I've got something to say you'll know about it. Just ask Fatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk August 17, 2004 Share Lunk Member August 17, 2004 I like the skunk rule, it keeps the maps somewhat evened out. Skunk rule is nice. But, it still doesn't stop teams from gettin stacked 2 maps in a row. What I'd like to see is an option on the server that in order to join a team you have to hit the "auto-assign" button. I see to many peeps that spectate until they can either join A) the winning team or to join up with their clan members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk August 17, 2004 Share Lunk Member August 17, 2004 I don't think lunk cares.... he never posted. Happy now Mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter August 17, 2004 Author Share Magruter Member August 17, 2004 Yes, i'm happy. Lunk, there's nothing to stop you from putting on deagle5 or scoutz when you get on, but i'd like to see the following rotation, instead of the kz maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter August 17, 2004 Author Share Magruter Member August 17, 2004 We really can't do a thing about the stacking, it's been a problem since day one.... But the skunk rule is a good attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag I didn't think this was another scoutz bashing session. The thought never crossed my mind on this. I agree totally, that we need to do something to get the server going again. And the one thing I think needs to be removed from the rotation is the kz maps. They just aren't attracting anyone. They were fun for a bit and still are on occasion. I just don't think we need to commit a full rotation to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urk?!? August 17, 2004 Share urk?!? Member August 17, 2004 One thing I definately remember from the ole Trop I days is that there was a solid rotation of the "common" maps. Then it would flip over to fun maps once in a while and ppl would stay. Largely bcs there was a really core crew of FUN ppl that would talk it up on voicecomms. There was "friendly" trash talking. I usually HATE fun maps, mostly bcs I'm such a competition freak. But that USP map with roll-the-dice was insanely fun, especially with alltalk on. Lunk, Gruter and all kinds of other ppl hollerin on Voice was awesome. Same thing with Scoutz. Especially the friendly trash-talking. BUT, that was only possible bcs the server was full with the core crew, and those maps were a "once-in-a-while" kind of thing. I'd say let's give this a shot and see where it goes. It'll take a few days for it to pick up again, but once it does and ppl realize that there's a regular FUN server to play on, we can start re-introducing the fun maps in off-peak hours.

Dennis August 17, 2004 Share Dennis Member August 17, 2004 URK's map roation 25 min maps, and no skunk rule. You know there are ways to get around stacked teams..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urk?!? August 17, 2004 Share urk?!? Member August 17, 2004 Oh, on the KZ maps... agreed. 150% agreed. Also, I definately think in order to do "fun" maps, we need map voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter August 17, 2004 Author Share Magruter Member August 17, 2004 Can we set something up where, we say amx_votefunmap, and three or four fun maps pop up and we get in vote on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urk?!? August 17, 2004 Share urk?!? Member August 17, 2004 Not sure how to do custom amx commands, but you can always use: amx_votemap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty August 18, 2004 Share Fatty GC Founder August 18, 2004 Let me toss something else to think about, and then you guys discuss until you can lay it on us so it fits our format. We have a VERY handy plugin running that rotates configurations. It's complete customizable, from times on and off, to cvars, to hostname, map rotations, plugins and beyond. Right now we have 5 running. mrX could remind me of the exact times but I'll take a guess: morning: 9 - 12 afternoon: 12 - 4 primetime: 4 - 12 afterhours: 12 - 4 latenight: 4 - 9 The map cycles are different for each of those. If you wanted, you guys could do away with all of this and run one mapcycle through 24 hours, or else take advantage of this flexibility. It's always fun testing out different configs. Here's your latest mapcycles, in the same order as the above config listings: morning: de_aztec kz_climbers_b01 de_inferno kz_giantbean_v7 de_dust de_dust2 awp_l337sk337beta scoutzknivez kz_peak_b01 afternoon: de_cbble cs_office awp_l337sk337beta cs_italy de_inferno de_train de_dust de_aztec de_dust2 de_aztec3 cs_militia primetime: de_aztec de_survivor cs_office de_train de_vertigo fy_dinoiceworld de_dust2 de_piranesi de_dust de_nuke scoutzknivez cs_italy de_inferno de_chateau afterhours: de_aztec fy_dinoiceworld de_dust2 awp_l337sk337beta de_dust scoutzknivez latenight: kz_climbers_b01 kz_giantbean_v7 kz_climbersxp_b03 kz_peak_b01 ------ I have always also done things like: -reduced freeze time both during afternoons and latenights to keep things moving -turned off FF during morning and latenight to reduce mess -removed plugins that wouldn't go well w/o admins, etc So, you have a lot of options. Have fun! mrX or I can set it up however you guys decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty August 18, 2004 Share Fatty GC Founder August 18, 2004 Gladly, but then when the ole "my shots don't register" people wake back up (or are they always there anyways) when we add more real-time plugins, don't wonder why. Put a package together, get it approved by the CS decision-making board (whatever group you guys establish or however you decide to vote on it) and we'll make it so.

Magruter August 18, 2004 Author Share Magruter Member August 18, 2004 Sure, let's put the statsme on the server. Shot's don't register anymore. So a couple more won't make a difference. And Aim_map_usp didn't crash the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwOOp August 18, 2004 Share SwOOp Member August 18, 2004 Scoutzknivez, pumpknivez, and deagle5 are always good for filling the server, and then they normally stick around for the serious maps that come after. How long they stay depends on how much fun they are having at that point. I know many people don't stick around too long when their team gets raped round after round and no one does anything about it to even up the skill per side. I would like to see a few assassination maps tossed in, especially tundra (my personal fav). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
