Where were you Caff?

I'll be running FNF and TFT for the next little while. Get used to it.

And much <3 for the compliments. Any and all feedback, both positive and negative would be appreciated.

You suck. That is all.

Maybe space in some "normal" maps, cause a custom marathon seems hard to fill.

We did that before, then the pop goes up and down faster than a crack whore smoking a meat pole.

Stock -> Fills
Custom -> Half-empties
Stock -> fills again


What people dont realize is, leave it on a fucking map for 5 - 10 min before you rtv, it WILL fill. #1 is one of the most popular custom map servers, if you leave it on the map instead of changing every 2 minutes when you immediately don't 'zomg adore' the map people will leave.

I made a post to this effect last week but it warrants restating over and over until people learn.

I'd like to add that sneaking unloved maps in sm_nextmap or cancelling legit votes are also good ways to annoy people...

The server stayed full for Granary, IIRC. Can't be so unloved afterall.

Also, even you laughed when I cancelled the RTV, don't deny it.

True but that was only because I could force a vote afterwards, it shouldn't be done on a legit rtv... it's hard enough to get people to rtv as it is, if rtv is triggered it's usually because people really don't feel like the map that's being played...

I know, dude. I'd like to think I have some tact. There were lots of admins about to set a vote and the vibe was good.

Also, had I not cancelled it, we wouldn't have had all those fun times on Cowpath. Synchronicity, my friend.

There's some plugin out there that forces a vote each round to choose the next map. You get like 3 or 4 choices iirc, the nextmap is determined that way. Seemed pretty cool imo.

The CSS server I play on has this. I've often thought it would be nice to be able to vote next map, without RTVing and having to end the current map early.

Sourcemod does not support this, there IS a plugin that does it, however it only works like 1/2 the time, TF2 doesn't properly trigger round_end and other stuff like that, so it never goes off.

The thing I dont like is seeing regulars RTV immediately when a map changes, everyone is guilty of it sometimes, even myself. I always see rtv more as a 'team is getting steamrolled, new map pls' to scramble the teams and move on.

[Budr]

'team is getting steamrolled' to scramble the teams.

Team scrambling plug-in stat!

Make it happen, Caff.

There was a beta of one i was looking at, it had server-crash issues last I checked

I'll check into this as well...

TF2F has it working on their servers if I'm not mistaken. They had to finagle the vote scramble plugin they were using to get it to work proper without crashing though.

edit: This looks promising.

I want this now!!!!  Also permission to use mp_scrambleteams in the mean time?  (only when teams are badly stacked)

Ditto. I never knew mp_scrambleteams existed. The timer reset is a bummer but if the game is so stacked that one team rolls the other a couple of times in say five minutes, it's not a massive deal to restart?
