Map rotation

[TeaLeaf]

OK, you got me BB...I'm confused  :cry:  You set out a list of maps that are NOT SUITED to PCS, right?  Or am I wrong or am I wrong or am I wrong?

TL.  :?

No you're right, I confused you. Mmmmm, now I confused me :-) Can we start again? hi I'm BlueBall - I post messages that don't make sense. Who are you?

:-)

I meant to say that those are maps I would like to see on the server - I know some already are.

Aztec (Crap)
Aztec (totally unplayable)
..Aztec (Damn them doors)
EEEEHHRm Aztec (you know that bridge isnt really a bridge)
/me thinks ....Aztec (Damn them AWPin gits)



Oh and my ultimate worst map is AZTEC (Coz i h8 it)

Well there my six apart from that im happy

[sheepy]

aztec owns, its a great map, it would be better if the t's were held longer at spawn, then it would make team play more important

I am somewhat bemused by the term 'rotation'.  :? We have more or less 20 maps in our rotation and yet we only get to play a few of them. Recently, de_aztec has been getting more than it's fair share. How does rotation work? I feel that maps, although not all people like all maps and some people hate some maps, should be played on a strictly 'in order' basis.
 :idea:
A thought has just occured that might be the answer to my question. As the server is on 24/7 perhaps the other 16 maps are being rotated during the hours 23.00 to 19.00. Could that be it?

[OldBloke]

All CS servers use a text file that determines the map rotation. You can see the contents of the rotation file by typing listmaps in console.

Under normal circumstances the rotation should be strictly observed. There are, however, times when leaving the rotation makes sense. This would normally occur if the map being served is too big/small for the player numbers or if a praccy is called for a particular map.

If the feelings of the players on the server is not to play a map then an admin vote should be started for the next map in the rotation.

oh that is so true, on sunday bloody aztec kept coming up, gawd knows how many times, most of us left after the 5th time. I mean what was going on.

[FrEnZy]

Proberbly just aztec's final death throws before it is stricken from the rotation

[Gandalf]

err, aztec isn't going... is it?

[JonnyAppleSeed]

hope not cause its one of the prctice maps  :cry:

Also would it be possible vote maps...last night was a good example after admin people went to bed we still had a full server and got aztec aztec aztec people started to exit the server rather than play the same map.. if we could have changed the map i would still be playing now  :lol:

Oh, its not being removed is it  :oops:

It appears OldBloke's senile mind is catching  :cry: either that or i should stop taking his pills when his not looking  :roll:

Also would it be possible vote maps

Any player can type "admin_vote_map mapname" (less quotes) into the console at any time to start a vote to change to that map.  It brings up a little menu on every client that says, "change map to mapname? 1: yes 2: no".  If the vote's unsuccessful, you can't do another vote for a little while, depending on the admin mod setup.

(You can also use "say votemap" (or the equivalent - I know it's different on MH, just can't remember what) to allow people to "say vote mapname" - but that tends to be less effective since players don't usually vote for the same maps and many don't vote at all.)

So . . . you can use listmaps to find the next map on rotation, then use admin_vote_map to change to it.

I think. . . . <:)

Thank God other people chipped in, I thought I was the only whinger.  
Incidently, I have never got the hang of this vote_map business. I sometimes see that appear but nothing else happens. Should I have done something?

The admin_vote_map has been out of order the last weeks.
