ET Server Suggestion Jay2 New Maps Suggestions

What maps are getting positive votes? And what maps historically had positive votes, if that information exists?

 

Perhaps we should have an "internal" rotation of the "popular maps" and another one for the "Goddamn, it, people!  Try a New Map, Learn it and Then Vote"-type of new maps.  

 

Some players get bored with the "popular maps" and complain that we NEVER have any new maps.  When we "spice it up" with some new maps, then others find reasons complain!  (or are they the same people...some of the time?).

 

When I was on Jay#2 on my yesterday night, these two new-to-me maps played.  I think that they are both "hold-the-flag"-type of maps.  Your team keeps control of a flag for a certain amount of time to gain points towards a final win.  That 'style' is a bit new to me, but I am willing to struggle to learn the concept and the maps.  😄

Be adventurous, people!  Give the 'new maps' a chance!  😄 

 

It takes more behind-the-scenes work to add maps than players might realize.  It is not just plop the files onto the server and adjust the server-controls.  They have to be tested first by volunteer-admins to be sure that they will work for us and for our hardware.

This post on the Jay#1 Maps topic what I was talking about:

 

@CabaL Thank you, Sir!  🧂

interesting maps cluedo and oldbones.

 

oldbones seemed intended for Vietnam mod but runs fine on jaymod. Aside from occasional lag (64 bots all fighting each other in middle).

 

Cluedo has interesting (all though small) map layout. And seemed like my ears were gonna start bleeding from 60+ bots pushing each other nonstop. Though amazingly little lag

 

Also has Wizerness been played on jay2? How was it liked by you guys? Ran smoothly and played well in my tests wonder what others think of it.

 

Edit: the FA link for oldbones seems to be gone. Searching the map in a general forum search led me to a old link for FA download by hipkat and that link has since been deleted. I may need to upload the pk3/omnibot waypoints to the file section at some point.

Old bones is actually one that I suggested. It was on my Gmail servers way back in the old days when I had servers, and was really popular. Funny thing is I haven't even had a chance to play it yet on there

Another map request

Played this on a non FA server yesterday and thought it was a decent map. Shall we try it?

[-=HipKat=-]

What do people think of these being added (back)"

 

Rail Gun

Special Delivery

Library

Possibly Battery?? I don't think that's been on there

 

Remove Paris. I'm not sold on removing Caen yet, but possibly. What other maps would people like to see removed?

 

For Xmas, UJE Factory is always popular, plus I love that map 😁 and maybe 2 more suggestions but NOT North Pole. Last year I remember people leaving fast on that map.

Gonna sit down tomorrow and work on a rotation as I've just finished my last assignment for the year. 

 

I'll make a rotation for Christmas/winter maps then after Christmas, I'll change the rotation out for some of the other maps requested in this topic.

For El! and others

There are 2 versions of "xmas" baserace. There is a "UJE_baserace_christmas" and "baserace_b3c". baserace_b3c is not necessarily a xmas map but more of a winter version.

 

Both run smoothly with little to no FPS drops. Neither have the big building in mid. UJE's xmas version, the omnibots are scripted for sniperwar and will need to be redone entirely. Blackwolf said he'll work on it but it wont be ready this year.

 

baserace_b3c the bots seem to be scripted the same/similar to the vanilla version of baserace. However the mini-map is not drawn and is a giant orange/black box. Spawn times might need editing. Not sure what vanilla spawn time setting is due to my server being set for 8s spawn times on all maps.

UJE_Snow_Patrol_b1

UJE_Christmas

UJE_Xmas_factory_b1

UJE_00_xmas

UJE_amsterdam_xmas

UJE_castle_xmas_b1

All above maps are tested and run incredibly well.

New rotation is in, 12 new winter/Christmas maps and 5 negative scoring maps removed.

 

If there's any problems with the rotation I'm sure Hipkat will tell me in the most polite and reasonable way.

Some notes:

• I don't have the ability to add a Christmas skin pack to the server.
• Caen hasn't been in rotation since August 24th?
• Paris was removed 2 weeks ago.
• Italy does not have a negative score.
• The reason Special Delivery was removed last time was it had -13. It also wasn't fun for anyone except the guy playing flamer in the control room.
• Every map should have bot waypoints but if some don't work just let me know and I'll remove the map or try to find updated waypoints.
• UJE Carentan will be added after these Christmas maps are removed, ~28th December.
• Wizerness hasn't been on the server yet but it was on my list of maps to try out for Jay2.
  here's the list:

Swapped out Goldrush GALS with the UJE Christmas version, added UJE Christmas Oasis and UJE Castle Christmas.

Also removed Frostbite.

I managed to add a Christmas skin pack too cause I found the one that's already on the redirect from a couple years ago.

 

Rotation should take effect in about an hour. Make sure you vote up/down during warmup.

 

Happy holidays.

Thank you.
