TV7 Rotation Map Cycle

[darklin0]

I believe Turbine is more popular, I will miss Doublecross though.

huge Thanks Dog, it is going to be fun.

OK.

So changes are in place. I added Turbine to the maplist to keep the CTF people happy!
If you are not happy with the settings for a particular map (eg it ends too quickly or takes too long), say so in this thread.

Play the maps first, tonight, without the fast respawn times because the dynamics may completely change and then comment if you think things need to be changed. Every map will require a little tweaking as I have added winlimit to the configs but winlimit means different things on different maps, so we'll tweak it as we go along.


Current configs:
Badlands
mp_stalemate_enable 1
mp_timelimit 20
mp_maxrounds 6
mp_winlimit 6

Coldfront
mp_timelimit 25
mp_maxrounds 4
mp_winlimit 6

Dustbowl
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 2
mp_winlimit 12

Fastlane
mp_timelimit 25
mp_maxrounds 4
mp_winlimit 6

Foundry
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 10
mp_winlimit 6

Freight
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 12
mp_winlimit 6

Gorge
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 4
mp_winlimit 6

Turbine
mp_timelimit 25
tf_flag_caps_per_round 3
mp_stalemate_enable 1
mp_maxrounds 5
mp_winlimit 3
sm_classrestrict_blu_engineers 2
sm_classrestrict_red_engineers 2

Badwater
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 0
mp_winlimit 0

Frontier
mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds 10
mp_winlimit 6

Goldrush
mp_timelimit 30

sweet...Thanks a ton Dog!

I think that new rotation should work well.

[M's]

Well I shall try them out very shortly.

[The Domer]

I likely won't be around much this weekend to help test the new server settings, but I hope things run well! One question, why use dustbowl as the seed map instead of badwater?

[johnnywutang]

I'm looking forward to the default respawn times. Also this rotation looks great - though would love to trade Dustbowl (since it's got a 24/7) for Granary, but I'll enjoy it nonetheless. Thanks for the updates.

We just seeded TV7 in record time (compared to how long it normally takes in the afternoons). We'll have to see if it manages to keep the crowd all afternoon, but QuickPlay definitely got it full really fast just now.

yeah, that was probably 15-20 mins to seed compared to 40-an hour+

I love the new changes to TV7! I also love the idea of voting on a new map each month. The Stock respawn times will help us all work on our dodging skills and hopefully create a more thoughtful player base.

Thanks for bringing up the thread Mummy, and thanks for all the suggestions Domer, Baron, Ohnoes, Zork, and YNWA, and anyone else that I missed.

P.S. I will jump for joy like a little school girl if Gullywash gets added to the rotation when we get to vote next.

Good call, I would vote for Gullywash.

Not sure if this is intended or not, but with the winlimit at 6 on thundermountain, I've seen teams cap a midstage and end the round. Kinda weird. Multi-stage pl maps aren't going to lend themselves to quick and easy ends no matter what you do.

I started with 3 other randoms and seeded the server in about 5-10 minutes. Once quick play kicked in, it was easy.
