CTF Servers - What maprot do you prefer?

[RandumKiwi]

Hi guys,

I'm interested to see what the public prefers in a CTF server. Whichever is the winner will mean I change or keep the setup of Fester (gibbed.me 3344) accordingly.

What's the status quo?:
The Fester (gibbed.me 3344) server randomises a maprot of maps by using running the below script hourly. This script means that CTF/TKTF/HTF are all played. Voting is allowed, but only for CTF/TKTF/KTF/HTF modes.

What's the "handicap" option?
Under the handicap option, I would skew the script to put more CTF in the maprot, by making every second map CTF mode, while every other map would be randomised to be one of CTF/TKTF/HTF.

The Script:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

# Find the files, randomise them, store in cache:
find /path-to-ctfmapfiles/*.cgz -type f -printf "%f\n" | sort -uR > /pathtomap/cache.txt
# Delete the old maprot file
echo "" > /path/to/maprot_fester.cfg
# Add a random mode/time to each map:
while read line; do
  # Modes 5, 13 and 14 only (CTF/HTF/TKTF):
  RANDOMMODE=`echo "5\n13\n14" | sort -uR | head -n1`
  # Random time of between 7 and 13 minutes:
  RANDOMTIME=`shuf -i 7-13 | head -n1`
  echo $line | sed s/.cgz/:"$RANDOMMODE":"$RANDOMTIME":1/g >> /path/to/maprot_fester.cfg
done < /pathtomap/cache.txt

Sample output of the script:

CTF is the standard for any pub regardless of game. It's the accepted mode. As an fps we really should be able to provide CTF no matter what. HTF is a twist that has the potential to be a hallmark of AC. "Hey, bro! You hear we can hold the flag in this one?" "Nah bro, really?!" "Yeah man!" "Awwsum cool shit!" They'll figure out the dynamics of HTF real quick. The only thing i'd say is that maps need to be made specifically for HTF for the mode to be any fun. Like you need to connect to a map and instantly think.. HTF. Only map currently that gives me this is Desert2 / WITHOUT the raised middleground. TKTF? That is a mode that should be kept for all maps, but not on a pub basis. The option should be there, but it should seat itself securely in the background. TKTF is the mode for those who want to take it to the next level of stealth. This is the mode for the Hunters of AC. TKTF should be offered on a once every 5 or so maps style on pubs.

We have a very wide-range of legitimate modes. We just need to package them correctly.

Was the script broken intentionally, or does that actually work in your shell, somehow?
I made my own version that works, but I didn't want to share it if you meant to confuse the noobs on purpose.
Alternatively, I am curious as to what OS/Shell you use if that does actually work for you?
Purely curious...
Thanks in advance...
