I was thinking (since i cant do this) maybe we can have a custom map server. You need be able to keep our 24/7 Breakfloor servers and then have a custom map server that we test custom servers and have them apart of the map rotation. Like ones we make and the likes.

[Vladplaya]

you mean like privat clan server? it has random custom made maps on it sometimes but i don't know who picks the maps to upload....

[jaZ]

lol i can change the maps tried once... ma_help helps alot when it comes to doing random admin shi't. i think that our private servers kinda already cover what your trying to create... but you say custom servers? dunno what u talking about then.

[Switchblade]

Well Custom Map (imma edit in a sec) well we can use the private servers but custom map server will get people who only play custom maps on those and private server should only be for scrims and the like. Custom map we can really show our maps to the public, Its hard to get what im trying to get across, really across.

Private Servers - UK 4 & US 4

Due to these servers are not always in use we have a priority list for them:

1. Matches
2. Standard Maps
3. Custom Maps

So in normal circumstances if someone wanted to play a match then the server would be given to them to use for that period, otherwise a standard (CAL) map cycle runs.

Now in the event a custom map wants to be ran then a Col can do this.

An update that is coming soon is a feature for Cols to upload maps to the private servers via the Admin CP.

[Snowman]

I know that I'm not the only person who likes to map. Some people are good at the gameplay ideas, some at designing the layout, and some at making it look pretty

I was wondering if anybody wanted to start working on a new map, or improving somebody else's?

[Hawk]

lets make a Zm map

[Snowman]

totally

i posted in the Zm topic saying we needed a map that is hard to camp in

I dunno???

[eagleye]

i'd be on the map team

[Dave]

Have you ever wanted to maybe test a map you made online, or play a certain map on the private server, but you don't have access to change or upload maps? Well this will change very soon.

We are currently working on a new feature that will be added to the wildfire admin control panel. It will allow you to upload any map you want to the cs:s server and then you can book a slot for the map.

So let's say there are 3 people. Now a slot would last 30 minutes. So I say well I want to play de_dust2 at 1:00, so I would book the 1:00 slot, then someone could book the 1:30 slot, if no one does then the dust2 would roll over to the next slot until a booked slot if come across.

We will also be looking into adding to each slot the option to turn on and off mods, i.e. let's say you want the GunGame mod, you could turn it on and it would stay on until your slot period is over.

Now this is the idea, and if you like it we can sure get it online within 7 days. I would effectively allow everyone to try maps and mods.

Clan Matches

Ok so yes what about clan matches. Well this is where the system gets useful, if you want to book a clan match then I think a COL could book upto 4 time slots all next to each other (2 hours), get the server password to come on during that period and disable admin for everyone below Col during the match. Again all these ideas can be worked on.

So what do you think?

So true. I can see this working out well especialy GG

[TheVillain?]

Sounds good to me.

[Zat]

wow. that sounds quite awsome. i've always wanted to try my little map with real people

[Coverfire]

Sound great.

[$K8-4-L!F3]

i think that would get more matches going, and i want to do some matches soon

yes here that i want to do matches

[Dave]

So the question is on the new code, what mods do you want to beable to enable/disable. Personally I would like to see GunGame, Deathmatch, Zombie, but are there any others.

We will try to get all of the ones you mention onto this system, but please post your ideas asap so we can start the coding

[Pk is 1337]

Definately scoutknivez and i have an idea for a map with a certain mod. Climbing maps with save/load and infinate hp. i will own all on it and i will see if i can find some good long ones for everyone to try out but there is only 1 problem with it. The map doesnt do an auto switch so you would need a col to always swap the map unless you can have an auto switch after the timer goes to 0 on the timeleft thing. its just a suggestion but if the climbmap idea doesntwork then at least do sk

[T.E.N.N.I.S]

sounds good to me ;D

[PiskeRiset]

sounds good nice that u would do it

[Zat]

maby you should add the surf mod option

[Dave]

For any mods, more of the odd ones, can you post the URL of where to download them from

[Artinium]

Dave can you upload a few maps onto it aswell,

de_cpl_mill
de_contra
de_season
de_cpl_fire


Thanks, if its not on there

As I said this new system will allow all members to upload whatever maps they want, and get the server to change to that map during the time period you booked. So do it yourself when the new system comes online . The only thing we need to decide on is what mods we will allow to be enabled and disabled. So far:

Deathmatch Mod - URL Not Needed
GunGame Mod - URL Not Needed
Zombie Mod - URL Needed

Other decisions that need to be made is what configurations can be enabled/disabled. Such as:

Surf Options
Low Grav Options
War Mod Options

So make sure you post all your ideas now, otherwise it won't be there Remember this is for the private servers only UK/US 4

[Eppie]

Very good idea, allthough I don't even know how to upload a map. I'm a total noob when it comes to technical stuff. I just start CSS and connect to a server. I don't know how everything works

OFFTOPIC
This reminds me of the following: I got problems with CSS for some weeks now. I can play maps like BF and twotowers with no problem at all. But other maps like de_dust2 are causing problems. Usually it turns out so bad, that I have to shut down my computer. Does somebody know what the problem could be and what I must do to play all maps normally again without having errors or problems?

[Dave]

Moved to public suggestions.

[Magnum]

I think it's a great Idea...

[The Juggler]
