Title: Change Map voting (AKA DOWN WITH ISLAND AND 67THWAY)
Post by: Sigoshi on August 12, 2013, 12:45:12 AM

Friendly petition to make it so that maps to choose from to not include the past 5 maps played because I know I'm as sick as everyone else is of playing island and 67th way over and over and over again.

Like honestly we played island>67thway>richland>67thway>westwood (bc crashing)>67thway too much.

I very much like these maps

I have an idea that Towersheep can do:

If the map was played in the last 5-10 maps, it gets taken off the voting chart. Later then after around 10ish maps later, the map appears again. Heres a problem with this idea though: We need more maps to replace the ones temporarily taken off.

Agreed, I always just have to vote for the map with the most votes just so it isn't that...

Good maps get played more often, but I do agree, there needs to be a limit for x amount of rounds before a map comes up to vote for again.

If somebody could either find a proper plug-in or if they know how to make one, that would be greatly appreciated.

This used to be the problem when we were on fretta. No one could find a plugin. I finally did find a plugin for it... and then it switched to gmod 13 like a week later before we got it :(

Remind me when I'm home and I can work on this. :-P I just need to be reminded as I'm prone to do other things. Also Cortez has to approve it before I even start.

This has to be done. Please, for the love of everything that is right on this world.

Finally someone likes one of my ideas xD.

No offense but this isnt your idea. If you look at the suggestions from when TS was a HA, this has been wanted for years. Other servers have had it before gmod 13, i just havnt seen it since the update to 13.

But thanks for bringing it back up because we really do need this :D

Oh, oops. Well I did think of it on my own though. Sorry for taking credit xD

Anyways, please add the plugin it'd save a lot of complaining from players.

He wants to remove the maps..

Er, no, he doesn't. You actually didn't read.

That's only because its cg's signature map. It's too good to not play.

This.
With the server crashing every so often, a rotation would end up getting more repetitive than the votes. I think it'd be more simple to implement a plugin or simply just agree to all vote on maps that aren't played every 3 rounds.

Some maps aren't played for a reason.... people simply don't like them.
I like the idea of taking maps off for about 5 rounds until it can be picked again. However, since the server crashes so much, I feel as if that would be bypassed, (ex: 67thway>server crash>default map>67thway). So map rotation is probably the best way to go, as long as not EVERY single map is included in it.

As other people have said, this won't work because of how often the server crashes.

BUT

People are forgetting the randoms that maps attract. When we used to have full map rotations, the server would go dead because of the really crappy maps nobody likes, which is why they aren't voted. Server rotation would be nice, but that'd also means we'd have to remove all the crappy maps so that the server doesn't go dead all the time.

67th way almost always fills up  the server.

I agree with the idea of making it so you can't vote the same maps all the time.
Please do work on it Towersheep, i'll love you forever :D (even thought i don't have Gmod installed right now).

@Off-topic discussion with HerpDerpMike \/ \/ \/

Yankees did not seem to notice the fact that you did not read Sigoshi's idea, in fact i think he did not read it either...
He corrected you for saying it was your idea, but he thanked you like if it was you that brought the idea back again.

@Off-Topic
I think we just read it wrong at first, like when he stated those 5 maps, it sounded like he wanted to remove them.. then I just thought of the idea of restricting the voting of the same maps (but then I realized it was already an idea :p)
