So yahoo earth brought this up earlier in-game, and in another thread i see, but I was wondering if it’s possible that at a certain time the server switch to a different map rotation/mapset. Obviously during the day when it’s highly populated, even I like to stick to the basics and the originals. But late at night when the lights are out, less clothing is worn, the mind is wandering… people get a lil goofy and want some fun maps….
Just wondering if this is possible, and if so… let’s get some suggestions up here for two map lists – don’t even neccessarily have to be that different. I’d still play some originals, i love inferno and nuke anytime anywhere…
It has a rotation, but it really doesn’t get used because of the voting system.
Now, I’m planning a few tweaks for the vote system in my new AdminMod, but thats mostly behind the scenes stuff.
Or maybe if the time of day doesn’t make some people happy, what about the late late times on certain days, like maybe tues-thurs when maybe there are less people on after 1 or 2 am have a few “fun” maps or different maps on there.
And also, this was done last night in game for some added fun, all talk was turned on. This might make the late night a lil more fun as well, I know I enjoyed it.
All-Talk being on for maps that are de_ or cs_ also ruin the team cohesiveness when its being used for that.
Chat commands are just as good so is vent.
Alltalk shouldn’t have been turned on imho.
It was like 3am, and there were 6 of us in there with no objections. And I mean all talk on from like 2am-7am when there is normally not an excess of players on.
I would not mind all talk being turned on after 2 am. People are usually staying up after that time to have someone to hang out with.
So how many admins are needed to agree that this could happen, because yes I just want a friend at that hour of night
Basically only me, but I don’t like to do things unilaterally. Want some consensus from the other admins, I doubt Kuros or any of the other execs mind they usually(always) turn on all talk late at night.
All talk everynight would be *edited*in…Especially since points are not working I have nothing to live for!!!! jk, but seriously…
I also agree that alltalk would spurr some more activity late night, when you are engaged and not just killing you definitely stay playing longer – say to 330, 4 am…
Plus maybe we’d get a regular fun latenight crowd, more so than the 8? that there is now…Just a suggestion but we could make this bigger if we wanted to. Why stop at all-talk I liked your original idea with all-talk and fun ideas, if it is supported and wanted by enough people in the community then we can make it happen, we can say that from 2AM- 7AM EST time is fun time on Western’s server. Fun maps and such of course all of that would need to be voted on, but I like where you were going with that.

Yeah we could probably get all that added into the AdminMod, I’d just have to get it to check the time which isn’t a huge issue.
Basically unload one mapfile at 2:00 and load the ‘fun’ mapfile instead and then swap it back at 7:00.
It would cut down on the interaction needed from the admins.
My main priority is getting AdminMod up and running tho.
ok so i guess the next step is getting together a list of mapolas… time to open the floor for suggestions…
personally i’d like to see one glass map on, some of them are really fun, and i’m sure since it’s up to a vote it wouldn’t hurt?
also maybe one of the rats maps or something, those can be fun.
other than that i guess it’s deagle, sk3, that one with the weird orange textures that’s usually a gg map – that one can go on, it’s fun…
throw some things up in there air and we’ll let them fall through a nicely scrutinized hole by the end of this.
+1 for shottie as well, …
another possibility for the rotation as well, what about cutting the maptime down to 10 minutes, but when the vote comes, have the option to extend for 10 more minutes? Just in case there happens to be someone on at the time that doesn’t want to play a “fun” map and wants a serious (lol) map at that time of night! And in case some ppl just can’t handle 20 minutes of one map, which I think a lot complain about 20 minutes of sk3 and deagle, which personally I have no problem with!
just suggestions,
maps: speed castle? aim texture maps? I’m thinking maybe some of the larger standard gg maps…
yeah i agree with some of those maps… we’re gonna have to get them approved through the higher ups though, so we’re going to need to get on some servers, find some exact names, and where they can be dled so the server execs can play through them and give them the OK.
Some of the aim maps, fy_snow or fy_iceworld, deagle, fallingtrash, sk3,sk, I guess some rat maps, glass maps, we will trial and error the list after we get the server situation cleared up and admin mod put on.
