I really need to start posting more here...lol

anyway...I know some of you know me from the servers and a big hello to those of you that don't...

Anyway...My thoughts are as follows

I play on TV4 more than the other servers because of map voting (personal preference over rotations) and I find myself getting really frustrated with the voting procedure.

It's not timing or anything of that sort it's the way the voting script works. I've all too many times played on a map only to have to play on it again 2 maps later...and then again 3 maps later...ad nauseum.

What I am wondering about is, and it's something I've seen on other servers, changing the voting script so that it keeps track of the last x number of maps (usually 3-5 on other servers that I've seen with this) and a map can't be repeated until x number of different maps have been played.

I'm not one to just complain (and I'm really not complaining here) without offering some ideas...so there are a few solutions that I'd like to offer up (if you'd even consider changing said script).

1. Do the nomination/then vote thing...maps can't be repeated for x amount of map changes.

2. Don't even worry about nominations just don't let the maps repeat outside of those x changes.

3. Allow for voting but don't allow a map to repeat until ALL possible maps have been played. (I've seen this some places and it's really nice)


I don't know how much work is involved with all of this or if it's even an option you guys would consider, but I wanted to bring it up.

Either way you guys run some great servers with admins who do a really good job and draw a really fun crowd (fun crowd most of the time...lol)

Anywho...thanks for reading this...and considering it (even if only for that "heck no!" moment). :)

oh...and hello again to everyone...I swear I'm going to try to be more active on the boards now.

Yeah...I know you (+) hehe.....I do believe you've gotten me your fair share of times as well.

you and me both man....you and me both. It's like all I ever get to play is Flash, Kalt, Ava, and Switch....wash rinse repeat.

And I HATE HATE HATE HATE Avalanche and Switch....useless maps IMNSHO...lol

:)

I just know that the voting system is the one thing that really keeps TV4 from being my favorite server of all that play at.

Hey pollux, I see you playing all the time too. I would have to agree. There are so many kick butt maps, yet the rotation seems kinda small. I do like the rotation though. I was thinking of an idea on how to "wieght" peoples votes. Like, If your in the top 5 of either team, your vote would count as two or something. So, good scores would be rewarded, and noobs who have no idea what map charlie is would get "weeded" out. However!!! It is the people I play with that keeps me here, not the maps so.....A new map or two in the rotation would be awesome, but it wouldnt keep from playing here. CHEERS!

Thanks for your suggestions.


We did use the plugin that remembers the last 5 maps played at one time. I dont remember why I removed it, but it was either not working right or causing some server issues.

I will look into it again. If I see no problem with the plugin it will be added soon.


Edit/Update :

Plugin added. Remembers last 5 maps played. If this seems not long enough to prevent repeats I can modify the plugin to remember last 10 or 15 if needed so there are no repeats for hours lol. Hopefully the plugin works as intended. Will keep an eye on it and modify as needed.

Unbelievable.....it amazes me that you guys have already done this. I was prepared to thank you guys for even considering it...but wow.

There are no doubts in my mind that the admins and crew of the Ville are the reason you have some great servers.

Cheers
