That is like a maplist from hell

Yeah I hope that map-list is a joke as it is horrible. Idea held little water even before you proposed that.... that thing...

pick fault with it other than it not including 5point cp it has a mix of all other game play types minus TC and they are not all clumped up together.

If we let you make people play the awful maplist you've presented then we'll have to let every monkey's uncle with a list of maps they want to force on others to do as they like with our rotations as well. It's not going to happen.

If you really want to play koth_badlands and ctf_well, join the regs, go on HH5 when it's not in use, change the map and invite people on. When the server's about to change map, go to the next one on your list. If people don't find the maps you've chosen horrendous then you'll soon have a half-full server going, and if it doesn't work then you'll have wasted no-one's efforts but your own.


If there's a problem with too many maps of the same type being played in a row, then Boris's idea is not too bad. The least intrusive way of doing it would be to not allow maps of the same type already being played into the next mapvote - so if you're currently playing Granary, then 5cp maps would be excluded from the next particular mapvote. That way you get variety and choice. If that idea (which may or may not be good) was approved then I'd be prepared to try and implement it in the map vote plugin myself.

The problem is hh5 is it hardly ever has players on except for events and probably the least popular (after hh3) of all the servers?

That's because people don't bother to fill it. If you get yourself and a few friends on, and invite people on your friends list to join, at a peak time, then you'll likely get at least 10 people on within 20 minutes so long as the map isn't awful.

I have some stats based on the maps played on HH1 from 26th through 31st of July, which I worked out from the data on this page http://www.thehh.co.uk/maplog.php

29% of the time a map is chosen, the same type of map had just been played. This makes sense as there are three main gamemodes played on our servers (pl, ad, 5cp). However, 46% of the time a 5cp map has been chosen, a 5cp map had just been played. That type of map tends to be played several times in a row more often than other types of maps.

I like 5cp maps more than other gamemodes but I can see why people say there's a bit too much of it at times.

Thats because the way the other servers are set up works.

There really is no need to change something that is, and has been many times, categorically proven to not be a problem.

I personally think the map votes need resetting, the data is out-dated, over accumulated and clustered to f***, resulting in a minority of maps being played and a majority of maps never being played, however that is another story.

You propose our admins should work for your sake when you are not even ready to fill a single server up?

HH5 is there for the picking by anyone with reg status. Become a reg and you have an entire server for your own preferences. You wanting to implement your own idea of the perfect maplost onto our most popular server(s) is beyond me. Leave it, clearly you are not getting the support you wanted/need.

I appreciate the suggestion but think it through, and argument for your suggesting instead of being petty when you are not getting the support you thought it deserved.


I apologize for calling you a brat, Vier.

There is no need to start throwing insults around... you clearly have issues and There is no need to bring it up in this thread you should probably try listening to Enya and chilling out.

As for the saying that hh2 is one of the most populated even with crits and alltalk proves there has been a change to what was the favorite gameplay type a few months ago.
