CTF Servers - What maprot do you prefer?
#1
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:
# 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
