Title: VOTE: Favorite PL Map(s) to play
Post by: smilE on March 07, 2019, 06:57:29 PM
So, the map chooser will get re-worked and we need your help on which payload maps will be listed as an option when a map vote is initiated.

It will certainly be helpful if you could participate in each of these polls.
You can have multiple choices.

Favorite STOCK Map(s) Part 1: https://www.strawpoll.me/17567151
Favorite STOCK Map(s) Part 2: https://www.strawpoll.me/17567185


Favorite CUSTOM Map(s) Part 1: https://www.strawpoll.me/17567217
Favorite CUSTOM Map(s) Part 2: https://www.strawpoll.me/17567233
Favorite CUSTOM Map(s) Part 3: https://www.strawpoll.me/17567275


The end result will be considered and implemented in the map chooser.




Thanks c:

Will there be new functionality in the map chooser or will it just be summoning a random subset of 'the most favourite' maps as chosen by these polls? A "!nominate" system would be a good addition.

Voted. I tried to only vote for my favorite 2-3 for each poll so there's plenty of maps I didn't select that are fine just not absolute favorites.

Could we have added some none-PL map on he server as well? we did one friday night and the server filled quickly.

I have the feeling it is not that much of the map choice (most of the time) but more how long they play.

Atttention deficite seem to go with gaming now as well.

Reported for shitposting.

Also I agree with regards to non-PL maps. I get we don't want to kill the golden-goose, but will a non-PL map once or twice a night via majority vote REALLY do damage, let alone permanent damage?

Thanks to everyone who heeded the call.

Sorry if you got multiple messages from both Enforcer and I. We didn't compare notes, just spammed our friends lists.

Thanks again. :)

Hey guys.
Thank you for your votes and feedback.
I'm sorry it took this long to get this done, and I know the admins have been working extra to change maps manually. The problem was that the system Dave and I designed years ago for the mapchooser wasn't really working anymore (especially adding a lot of new maps). The mapchooser was designed for only official maps really, since back then being the quickplay matchmaking meant no custom maps.

Anyway.
I'm sure we'll need to make tweaks and fix issues, but I hope the new system will be more flexible and allow for more map diversity.

I'm not ready to add nominations just yet. RTV is still available however.

As for non-pl maps. It's something I'll consider later. I really want to make sure the mapchooser works, and that the maps chosen both by the plugin and players are enjoyable. If the maps chosen result in emptying the server every day, something is wrong. When we get to a point where its stable, we'll see about adding non-pl maps in special situations. At it's core, I'd like this server to remain Payload. That's what it's been since its creation, and we tried making a different server multiple times without success.

I'll post the maps list, and how they're chosen by the plugin later.
Please let us if you have questions, encounter issues, or just general feedback. I hope it makes the server more enjoyable for everyone.
