Hoodoo is really unbalanced and a lot of people are complaining about it, also the #'s of players decrease substantially when the map switches to hoodoo. Is there anyway for us to get pipeline back so we have three good maps?

-Thanks.

I suggested having a vote automatically called to change the map to the next in rotation after certain periods of time. But I played on it for a few hours total and time wasn't a huge issue.

also when i scramble in gscramble it does nothing and when I try to scramble again it says you can only do it once per round. Any way to enable to good o'l sm_scramblenow?

Pipeline was removed due to it taking too long and Karl is going to write a plugin for that so we'll get it back but i have to agree again on hoodoo but without it we only have 2 PL maps sadly, many thanks for that valve >.>

hmm, perhaps we can expand into the realm of control point some day

Hodoo is really boring and some times looks like the slaughter of the innocents if teams are unbalanced as well. As for me, pipeline much funny map. Goose, may be would be better to create voting on this point with any end date?

i dont know why people always cry about hoodoo. yes its hard to win if you are on blue but in my opinion it works better now with the 8 sec respawn and u see stage 2 and 3 more often.

why no1 is complaining about goldrush then ? if ur team is totally shit as blue its the same as hoodoo you might get the 1st point and then you can leave cause nothing more happens like on hoodoo only stupid zerging around and waiting for the last 5 secs to run away and hide -.-

in my opinion pipeline is worse then hoodoo cause most of the people dont know how to play double payload maps and if timelimit is over u can wait and wait and wait until 1 team gets the clue to push the cart -.-

i think some CP maps like badlands are nice and it could be testet on the server if the players want them and u dont have the problem with the timelimit there cause its just stalemate if the time is over.

i agree with u that there should be more PL maps cause its a lot more fun then ctf or deathmatch. i played a bit on ctf maps like 2 fort or turbine but thats useless on public servers cause its only samming and noone cares about the flags.

I agree. I've played enough CTF with several other games and I enjoy payload a lot more. Maybe dustbowl and badlands are good CP maps to add to the server. Other CP maps I don't like at all, but maybe that is cuz I dont play them very much.

I wouldn't mind making it into a 24/7 Goldrush/Badwater/Dustbowl server (and I'll truely consider this).

Please consider adding a CP map, dustbowl would be great.

Map initials for hostname?

Goldrush = ??
Badwater = BW
Dustbowl = DB
Nov 16, 2009, 11:14 PM#12
Don't know, I would say Gold/Badw/Dustbowl, or PL + Dustbowl or something..

Goldrush = GR ?

The obviousness has striked.

Currently, fast respawn

Goldrush = RED 8, BLU 8
Badwater = RED 8, BLU 8


Eventually Dustbowl = RED 8, BLU 8

Any proposals to different values? All values are in seconds.

That sounds great, 8 seconds is my preferred time, anything more is too long in hectic games. I say lets just test it out and see how the balancing works.

Initials: Aprilon Dynasty 24/7 GR|BW|DB|BL

if possible just name it: Aprilon Dynasty 24/7 Goldrush|Badwater|Dustbowl|Badlands (badlands if applicable). I've only played badlands like once or twice but its definitely one of the more popular maps.



So if possible we could have a half PL have CP map by adding badlands.

so Aprilon Dynasty 24/7 PL|CP


Any idea on when we can look forward to playing these maps :D?

Like, now? :P Going to add some plugins, some of them are for myself :P

Like, eh, doing sv_cheats 1 on my client (but not for bad intentions! :P) :roll:

yahoooo! :amg: . Can't wait, but I'll have to wait till tomorrow to check it out. Haha I think you deserve to play around with sv_cheats 1 every once in a while :roll: for "good" intentions. But I have to admit it was pretty funny watching a god mode heavy taunting sentry guns :P.

EDIT: Just saw the server list!!! PL+CP ! pumped!
