TV7 rotation

For some reason maplist command won't work.

What exactly is the rotation?

As DD said, "Listmaps" is the command, in console, to see the maps.

Current list iirc is:

cp_dustbowl
pl_goldrush
ctf_turbine
cp_fastlane
pl_badwater
cp_gorge
cp_badlands
plr_hightower
ctf_doublecross
cp_freight_final1
pl_upward
cp_coldfront
cp_gravelpit
pl_thundermountain

Maybe I've mentioned this before. For a couple years now you can put duplicate entries in the map list. This way you can simulate 1/2 rotation maps, maps that will seem to alternate between one or the other every full rotation. You do this because some maps show less popularity. This assumes you have more static maps than changing maps in the rotation.

A sample map list for tv7 with 6 stationary maps and 8 half rotation maps. This makes it seem like there are ten maps in the total rotation:

cp_dustbowl
pl_goldrush
ctf_turbine
cp_fastlane
pl_badwater
cp_gorge
plr_hightower
cp_freight_final1
pl_upward
cp_gravelpit
cp_dustbowl
pl_goldrush
ctf_doublecross (shared with turbine slot)
cp_badlands (shared with fastlane slot)
pl_badwater
cp_gorge
pl_thundermountain (shared with hightower slot)
cp_coldfront (shared with frieght slot)
pl_upward
cp_gravelpit

but you do that when someone is used to a solid rotation and you defeat the purpose, people are expecting a certain map and when it doesn't come up they leave.

That's currently a fantasy of many here. People use 'nextmap'

yeah, people apparently also use the listmaps command, as is perfectly clear from this thread.

I was wondering what that command was, I always forget it when I actually get into the rotation server...I really ought to write all these down and tape them up next to my computer.

I think the rotation is quite sexy as it is, not that this threads main point is the rotation itself. I always like catching it when it hits dustbowl, because if I have the time I could easily play right through to gorge if I was bored enough. Fastlane sometimes I'll skip out on, if I need a break, but I love the first six in the rotation, haha. But on to the actual point of that rambling...
Are there plans to put the, er, '1/2 rotation' thing into play ever? Just out of curiosity.
I think I prefer the solid listing, even if it does make the rotation a bit longer. If I spot the server is on goldrush I will usually join in knowing turbine is next (even if half the time I do manage to miss that particular section) because I like turbine. I'd probably be bummed to join and wind up playing in doublecross when I was expecting turbine.

It seems like at the peak of the evening the server is ALWAYS on the same part of the rotation, I've played Turbine, Fastlane, and Badwater more than any other maps on that server. It's getting kind of tiring. Infact I was playing at like 2:30am the other day and discovered there was a new stock map (some very long PL map, on a floating mountaing?). It'd be nice to see different maps at peak hours. Is the server restarted daily causing this repetition, or just terrible luck?

PS: I've used listmaps, maplist, listmap and everything else I can think of and none of them seem to work. But I'll give it another shot. Is an "!" needed?

It sounds like you're just having bad luck with when you hit the rotation. I forget if you have latency issues or dont like 32 slots, but TV1 is obviously an option for more variety.

Listmaps goes in the console, not the chat box, if that helps.
