1st off if this is a repost im sorry but im sure youll delete if it is anyways.
The GG reverse server i frequent on is having a couple of issues due to poor map rotation and im pretty sure needs a reset. The maps that most often come up on the map vote are non-popular or usermade. IMO if you put in a few general and popular maps the server would drop fewer people from map to map. Keeping the server full at all times is always fun and people stay in games where peoples personalities collide, it makes for good entertainment. lol. Anyways i just thought i would pop in the forums and give a suggestion. If anyone would want any help on the situation im pretty well versed in console commands, maps, or just about anything under the cs sun so if you need anything i would be more than happy to help keep the servers full and contribute. A revote option or nominate option would help ty for the read over and have a good one. |

Yeah I agree. Cheech and I were talkin about this very same issue and I wanted to say it'd be nicer to have more options in the vote map rotation. Here are some of my suggestions:
Have a #5 choice (#1-4 being the first 4 maps) but a #5 Revote option - if enough people pick number 5, then 4 new maps come up in a new map vote rotation, that way a whole new list of maps can be chosen from and everybody wins, and that same #5 choice could be provided again, so if we didn't like those 4 maps, we could revote again if we wanted.
Or have a dedicated list of number (#5-9) maps that, are at the top of the charts for what people like, like fy_funtimes could always be number 5, that way if someone didn't like the 4 maps that were given, they could vote for funtimes.
Thank you for your time.

This issue has been brought up many times, but ya'll fail to realize most people just spam 1 without reading the options. That tends to be why the shittier maps are played. There is always RTV if that map is generally hated. |

Well, a few concerns about each point...
All maps, even shotty and funtimes are "user made". We add many maps all the time, either made by myself as 'BattyMaps" or by other makers. It allows for new content to be fed to players. It doesn't matter how good Shotty and Funtimes are to play, if you're circulating the same maps over and over again, it becomes boring and people leave anyways. Either way, sometimes new maps work wonderfully, and sometimes they fail. DoGz loves to promote fresh new experiences to keep our servers from going stale.
As neat an idea as having a 5th option for a list revote is, I personally am unaware of any existing script to do such a thing AND it would counteract the whole "try new things" angle. It's rather obvious that if a list of maps that were unknown filled the list, the common player would vote for a new list in an attempt to bring up Funtimes or Churches for example, and nother new would ever get a chance. Besides, if a new map comes up, and it plays poorly for the server, then a simple RTV will solve that problem.
As for a !nominate option, I am not sure why one does not exist. Perhaps there is a scripting error involving SourceMod or people get tired of seeing the same old maps nominated over and over. Either way, it's not like the big-wigs are unaware the mod exists and if it's not part of our servers, then there's a valid reason for it.

*edit*
..plus what Steal mentioned about the 1 spamming.
Please feel free to comment on my Map Upload threads. Your comments and suggestions help me make better maps for the DoGz!!

On two other servers I played on they have a list of about 10 maps, then a vote happens, the best 4 are then left over. Or something like that, I'm usually heavy medicated while in-game..... well, while in-life....fol...so memory of an elephant I do not have, but I gots da trunk where it counts..haha. what I'm tryin to say is there is other "scripts" for map voting...... IDK much about the technical stuff so ill stop here...
Well, if you don't like it....you can get a bowl of "DEEZNUTZ"...

There are other options for map voting but they all still depend on the players. If the majority of the server will not take the time to pick maps, none of them will work.
The only other option would be a smaller, more selective, random map selection done without voting. |

Maybe this is something you could rig up, TigerOx:
Instead of the default 1,2,3,4 options, change it to higher numbers on the keyboard such as 6, 7, 8, 9? It would stop the "spamming 1" issue and force people to make conscious decisions. I'm not sure, however, how well that would work out for players still playing and trying to switch weapons >.> |

I know I mentioned this earlier, but I am just going to recall as me and bailey were discussing about the people spamming one. This is the link for that thread.

lol but if you had the choice between 6 7 8 or 9... they actually have to stop what they are doing and think to pick the number lol. since they are so used to just spamming one all the time... like a force of habit

all right. Try this for a change.
#.) gg_aim_shotty
$.) gg_other_shotty
%.) gg_another_other_shotty
^.) gg_idont_know_shotty
instead if the numbers, just put special characters. I am pretty sure they will have to work to actually vote for a map. And increase the map voting time limit, so the person can wait until he dies and then vote, so no rush and they dont get distracted while aiming.

Happy to see the thread alive still..... I mean no ill will to bailey or anyone else and i understand that fresh maps is one direction to go.... IMO what keeps people playing day in and day out are the people and the enviornment in the server itself when you have people that make others laugh or know how to keep a conversation going in server makes or breaks how long a user stays in.... and playing for a decade and helping run a server myself are how i back my opinion up. Yes all maps are user made but to say that all the dogz maps are GG maps is a longshot. Some are well suited for GG while others make overyone angry to the point to where they leave the room and wait til the map is over. As gaming is one of my only true passions pathetic or not im in the GG Reverse server everyday. I posted this in the 1st place because everyone constantly brings up the issue. everyday.... Imo changing the map vote to 4,5,6 will get rid off 90% of your vote spamming, and its a 2 second fix. Taking somemaps that dont work on the server and adding new maps frequently is truely keeping the server fresh. something that I feel would work quite well. I do not want to offend anyone but when you are in the server as a regular which i am and any other regular will tell you if they could change one thing about the server it woould be to take maps off add some and change the vote so there is no more 1 spamming. (Regulars = A servers lifeblood) If you see this post and want to nay say the suggestions i have a suggest you frequent the server everyday and you will know exactly how frusterating it is to have one person who doesnt play in the room tell you that everything is fine and nothing is going to be changed when everyone you play with everyday is constantly wondering why noone has done anything to resolve the issue.
I understand evrything i just said may be a bit ovwer the top but i guess im trying to play union rep for all the little guys. If anything at least come in the room when its about full and talk to the people that fill your rooms everyday and take some suggestions they will love you for it. I like being apart of this community of gamers otherwise i wouldnt even waste my time typing so much so again i hope i didnt offend and im eager for a positive reaction.

i agree cheech. we need to take off the map that people dpmt liek to frequently play from the rotation.. this is why people complain because they always get horrible options.. if we revamp the rotation then more of the maps people love will come up and help keep the server population high
