Games during the week

ammoboxes on district is more OP then nukes on district. At least with nukes the map can progress in one direction or another much quicker.

 

yea infinite ammo boxes probably started as a joke but they're actually quite annoying.

 

That "might" be fixed. I don't know off the top of my head, but I know Jephir was rather upset when people were doing it in one of the playtests, so he might have fixed it then.

 

People hate district because of the nade spamming at middle.

Grenades and mortars do no splash damage when they explode underwater. (no pun intended)

Add a little water in the middle of district.

???
profit

 

Fairly sure they do cause damage. At least, I could swear I've taken damage.

Also, Alt3 fixed it by removing ammobox placement from engineers. And turrets. That is why Alt3 is the best version of district.

 

oh wait, it does no splash damage to buildings.

Because I kept trying to mortar a turret that was in water and it wouldn't take any damage. Only direct hits above the water worked. Same story with sesimics.

 

neat.... yea the engi placed boxes have always been the problem w district....

 

viper only has two gimmicky maps for the longest time and they are configured to only be played 3 times a day if voted.

But the problem with what you asking us to do is..everyone has a different idea of what a good or bad map is and I am talking about even the official maps.

This has been an age old problem with the maps. What you may think is a good map rotation there will most likely be several who dislike it.

So how does trickster or me make a mapcycle that everyone likes.. afaik that's close to impossible.

 

there is only 1 district on VIPER and always has been 1 and it's alt4 until the official district is fixed.
I set up the plugin I use to only allow 1 infantry map per mapvote and in the last several months, infantry maps almost never win the vote.

 

Then I may be thinking of another server, it was way back around version 2.2

 

What's up with official District? I don't use it because Alt3 is bestest, but what's broken with the official one?

 

I redid my mapcycle a bit.
removed a few custom maps for now (smokies, shadows, rainbowroad, harrys money (until it's redone and better) hobbes, until it's redone and better).

made 3 groups instead of 2.
Official maps gets 3 maps in every map vote
Custom maps gets 2 maps in every mapvote
Infantry maps gets 1 map in every mapvote.

Let me know what custom maps you think should be removed altogether.
and if player counts should be edited.

ahh democracy in action... cry enough and action gets done but, what about the mass of people who were not crying because they were cool with the way things were? Now we shall hear them.

<starts crying>

 

I have always listened to the player base or tried to. If enough people complain about any of the maps that were removed, they will be
re added. Meanwhile I removed Octagons about 6 months ago and never heard a peep shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

ohh no wonder I couldn't vote it in... Ohh well I liked it but, I don't love it enough to cry.

 

somehow the wrong file was in my dropbox. this is the corect one...I hope

eastborough is really not an 8 player map... its got 7 flags (soon to be 8). it needs at least 16 players to make it playable

 

Shadoooooooooowwwwwwwwwssss D,:

 

thank you, will change it

 

But I love octagons. D:

If commanders weren't so easy to be ninjaed/9mined off the edge it would be so much more enjoyable. Also emp_escort_alt5 is now terribly favored for NF since armor scripts (unless you stack BE like mad), can we has emp_escort on all servers instead?
