The NUBS server needs more maps, or atleast get more interesting maps voted in. Its so boring playing the same maps over and over again. There are so many great maps out there but nubs server doesnt play em its quite sad
nubs has all the playable maps, its the players that vote and nominate the same ones over and over, same thing happened on VIPER.
I say the best way to enforce better variety in maps is to just a have a map rotation but have it take more commonly played maps out of rotation so less played maps get played, taking into consideration the pop size. I don't really feel the nomination and vote system works to be honest. Mostly because a lack of nominations, but it still ends up on escort even if people nominate all these other maps.
Just force a map rotation then, and during high time make admins make map decisions or map votes. Right now I dont wanna play after 2 maps cause its the same old shit over and over again.
And if u admins on nubs server are scared of backlash, who cares, people are going to welcome new maps getting played, just grow some cajones boys
fyi in shoutbox people were saying massacred and chain are not on NUBS, which is false, chain is an official map so its there and so is massacred. as I said all playable maps are on his server and cycle.
There is so much "hidden" information Vicki I dont blame anyone for thinking a map isnt on the server. There's no way to find out what is available to be nominated because the playercounts necessary are not posted. I even asked in the NUBS group forum what values the server uses for max turrets/walls/multiplier feel free to see the answers i got: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/nubsempires/discussions/0/333656722972258411/
https://wiki.empiresmod.com/Server_Cvars Type em in console and I think you'll get the values. But yeah, what map is available at what player count is truly hidden.
Maybe we add to MOTD the commands to get the list of maps and how to nominate and preview them? PS: No ca-hones are needed to admin NUBS. It is up to the players to vote for a map, and rtv to change a map. Bitching at an admin in spec could result in a vote, but never should we change because one person says "PUT ON RAINBOW ROAD YOU DICKWAD". If there are a lot of people in spec - you guys should really nominate a map and rtv. Fortunately Creeper has added a lot to NUBS to make it better for all.
NUBS has the same info available as any other empires server. The only thing that is different is the ban list because NUBS doesn't use sb for security reasons. No server epic or viper had available what min or max player count a map had. Its not available in the plugin
I feel some of the maps are fun and never get played. could there be a change to it to not allow a map to be played if it has been played in the last 7 maps? Also Vicki, that's a bold claim to say they show the same info as any other empires server, when it's essentially the only server. Itd be a nice addition, or to list it in a guide or something
I said epic and viper and no one ever complained about hidden values before on epic OR viper....use the cvars
I think creeper said that maps that were played 4 rounds ago can't be played, or something to that effect. So it's not like you can have back to back maps unless an admin forces it. I think it just feels like we play some maps back to back thanks to variations, like money and money_cl or just very similar maps like money and slaughtered back to back. No good solution to that problem though.
its the past 12 maps that can't be played, there was also time amount put in but that seems to be broken
