Is the server going into FNF mode when it crashes something because of recent updates, or because it's not being turned off properly or both?

when the server restarts it goes to FNF

Its just the way the plugins are set up, when the server starts it loads _ALL_ the plugins on the server. Since FNF is controlled by a plugin it gets loaded if it ever crashes

I would still like someone to make an RPS map, is anyone with mapping skills willing to do this or does anyone know someone with mapping skills who would be willing to do this?

It's a great concept looking for a map IMO.

Two spawns a point and some cover, thats pretty much it, think Orange_X with everything no the middle point removed, and maybe the point on the ground instead of at the top of the tower.

3 CPs, one by each spawn and one in the middle.  Middle CP is long cap ends are pretty much a touch.  Middle CP is some sort of an arena varied enough to give advantages to all classes.  An approx. 10 second run to the arena for anticipation.

That's how I see it.

Thread recap!

• RPS has significant support 8) .  It is best played on a proper map.
  • Busytown, or something short.
    
  • Commission an in-house project?  :o
    
• DJ nights have support.
  
• FNF needs better map selection.
  • Fun maps.  ;D
    
  • Different maps besides the ones we always try.
    
  • Whatever is selected should not suck.  :
    
• FNF should lend itself to spontaneity*.
  
• Noise level  :-X
  • Side A:  Turn Alltalk off to reduce noise level, audio clutter.
    
  • Side B:  FNF is social.  No Alltalk kills some of the fun.
    
  • Compromise: Alltalk turned off when appropriate such as Pickups?
    
• Theme Nights / Opinion Wars have support.  :-*
  

* Not entirely so, I'd say, but anyway.

Thanks for all the input so far.  Some of these things have a "we did that or should already be doing that" feel like the Alltalk debate, but all of this needed to be brought up and tossed around.

This isn't an end-cap to the thread.  I was just listing what I've seen so far.  There's still plenty room in here for your thoughts if you haven't posted them yet.

Isn't this kind of a problem?  I swear it never used to do that until recently.  It sort of kills the server if there's no admins around (like last night).

[Badgerman of DOOM]

In my humble opinion, Steamroll is quite possibly one of the best maps ever made, even more so for RPS.

you've never played busytown, have you?

It is a long standing problem on the order of at least a few months.  It's not recent.  Spotting the server with a padlock at an odd hour is troublesome.

No I have not, but from what I can tell it is great.

Hey have you guys thought of trying both highlander or faillander. Highlander is the team picks what each players plays and one of each class. While faillander is the other team picks your selections class.

[SAVAGE-0]

Does Server 2 have some of the regular maps that we could play pickup on?  From what I've seen here, Most agree there should be "fun" maps played.  If both types are on 2 maybe that should be where FnF is hosted since it already has tons of fun maps that no one ever (or rarely) gets to play with more than 3 people.

[Badgerman of DOOM]

FNF should have moar koth_rainbow.

[Versus]

#2 is in Massachusetts, which gets west coasters a triple digit ping, or pretty close.

alo, 100% agreed with ensign epic.

[Scary Womanizing Pig Mask]

FNF should have moar koth_rainbow.

I prefer migraine free FNF
