Map Selection

I've noticed for awhile now that we have been playing the same maps again and again every single day.

Is there ne map that you would like to see played on the server that hasnt been lately???

Every dod1.3 map (that is released with version 1.3) is in rotation and is available for voting. the-ville frowns on custom maps due to how they always seem to empty a server. Which is something I agree on.

It's been suggested in the past to have a custom map night or something like that but it seems no one that has the ability to do it is interested in doing it.

the other thring i noticed is people vote for the same maps over and over each night. Thus leaving the effect that we play the same maps every night. In cases this is true. Theres a post questioning whether votemap should just be gone. just set it on a rotation of all the maps on the servers. of course you dont want it to come to a map where people will start emptying out. in which case let people on the forums vote from an array of maps which maps would be on rotation?

i think that we should go into a map rotation...i played 2day and the map choice was Jagd then Donner then Flash and Jagd again...thankfully Replica was there to switch maps. MAP ROTATION IS NEEDED NOT MAP VOTING

We had something before that maps werent able to come back into the vote rotation for a while after they were picked. I'm not sure if thats still in effect anymore.

Map voting is good and i hope it stays that way

. Because even if a map comes up that i dont want to play..there'll be someone there who will play it too, a fellow villun. The ville is not about what map you're playing, its who' you're playing with

As long as I've been on the ville, IV has been a vote server...I'd hate to see that change

The admins will also override the vote from time to time. I always override Vicenza when it comes up. It always, always cuts the server population in half. The other night Donner kept being voted up every other map so I changed it a few times then as well.

The admins don't always play for hours on end so we may not be aware that whatever map won was just played. Just point that out and they will usually pick another one.

I'm pretty sure I was one of the people that voted for Donner that time you mention it. The other choices I recall were vicenza, zalec, caen and forest. Given those choices hands down I'd rather play donner even if it meant I just played it.

I just find that far too often the 4 maps of vicenza, zalec, caen and forest comes up as choices because they're hardly played. They're hardly played because they're the least popular. So, whichever map or 2 comes up as the alternative almost always wins the vote.

CAL Map Night? I mean sherman is a very good map...I was my favorite when I played CAL. If ppl have the map and have ever played i think they will chose it over forest anyday...Come on ppl...CAHNGE IS GOOD.....sometimes. And yes i have also noticed that those same maps are always on the vote selection...but they are all good maps...ppl just need to open up their minds. sure caen is dumb sometimes cuz ppl camp...but what map is fun when everyone camps? all maps have there negatives, gotta take the good with the bad.

youve also got to remember that people come and go so someone whos been in for 2 hours might of played the map an hour ago but someone only 15 minutes in has'nt and not everyone plays for hour after hour so every couple of maps over 50% of the players voting may not of played any of the choices but the player in their second hour has. maybe if theres a way of stopping a map coming in the vote thats been played within the last couple of hours that would be helpful

We used to have a plugin that remembered the last 5 maps voted. It was removed due to a upgrade of the system. I will look for an updated version of the plugin.

TV4 will always have a map vote. It always has, and it works.

TV3 and 5 have different rotations. TV3 is using the old TV1 rotation that was very popular. TV5 is using its original rotation before the servers went down.
