Suggestions for maprot

[Duckett]

I'm currently working on a maprot, & I'd like some suggestions from the ac community.

[Mai Mee Tur]

The best way is to download the mappack, and try the various maps there, one by one, mode by mode, that is what I did, but here's something.

ac-Safari, TDM

[Duckett]

I have that in there xD
here's what I have so far

ac_safari tdm, ctf, & htf
ac_depot three ctfs
ac_wasteland tdm, tsurv, & lss

You may use this if you wish. It is all custom, and you will need to download the maps. Most are in the map-pack. 43 custom maprot. It is my WIP maprot. This is a short (all official) maprot I used when I ran servers

[SELECT ALL] Code:

ac_desert:11:10:1:0:10
ac_arid:0:10:1:4
ac_toxic:0:15:1:2
ac_elevation:15:15:1:2:8
ac_depot:5:15:1:0:10
ac_arctic:11:15:1:2
ac_werk:13:15:1:2
ac_outpost:5:10:1:4
ac_power:5:15:1:2
ac_shine:5:15:1:0:10
ac_desert:2:10:1:2:10
ac_arabian:5:15:1:4
ac_mines:5:15:1
ac_desert3:13:15:1:4
ac_rattrap:0:15:1

It is much smaller ;) It seemed pretty effective, as it used osok desert to bring in players (make it more full) and then switched the map and mode. I had those maps/modes -A'ed out as well. Seemed to work well.

I used to run a server, and I would say what I put together was rather successful. I don't have the original cfg anymore, but I can tell you what I looked for when I made it, in a do/don't style list :D

• DO use the most impressive maps you can find.
  
• DO study potential map canidates' layouts to find the best possible mode to associate it with. Linear-styled maps are best for team modes, arena-styled for ffa, etc./
  
• DO update your maprot every once in a while with new maps. Find a really good map on Quadropolis? See if you can make room for it in your rotation!
  
• DO act upon feedback. This thread is a great start. Getting a group together in IRC is also a good way to plan a maprot
  
• DO blend official and custom maps.
  
• DON'T use a lot of "cliched" map/mode combinations. It's nice to play something other than ac_desert TOSOK or ac_depot CTF every once in a while.
  
• DON'T use maps with custom media unless it's a custom map server. ac_egypt is all pretty until it's turned into a gray mass of "missing content" textures.
  
• DON'T use crap maps like riflecamper. EVER. I will shank you with a raw salmon if you do.
  
• DON'T pair large maps with small player sets and vice versa. Sitting in ac_sylang for 10 minutes after you die because some idiot thought it'd be good idea to make a group of 3 rotate to that map on TSURV is NOT fun.
  
• DON'T forget to throw in some fun modes like PF, particularly for smaller groups. There are times to be had with these neglected modes.

Make sure you know how many people max you will be hosting.

Use the max/min. players limit of use. No need to put 3 players on Culvert or Edifice

[V-Man]

Listen to your mother.
Most of her awesome advice is just quotes from VenteX:
(my favorites)

• DO blend official and custom maps.
  
• DON'T use a lot of "cliched" map/mode combinations. It's nice to play something other than ac_desert TOSOK or ac_depot CTF every once in a while.
  
• DON'T use crap maps like riflecamper. EVER. I will shank you with a raw salmon if you do.
  
• DON'T forget to throw in some fun modes like PF, particularly for smaller groups. There are times to be had with these neglected modes.
  

To summarize:

blend
other
raw salmon
neglected modes

[Fate]

LOL @ V-Man xD

And VenteX pretty much summed it all up. Have fun :D

P.S. jamz's maprot on his TyD ladder server is the sexiest. ever. Had some nostalgia seeing some custom maps from 1.0 :o
Like umm....dangit my mind is blank... I'll come back later :L

And you can use this to make your maprot :

And remember:

We're watching you.

[Bukz]

Find servers run by jamz (the server of justices) press F9 + M, tweak slightly, have good server.

[Duckett]

kk, I think I'll just use Bukz's since it's what I was looking for.

[OpenSource]

Remember to have all the maps in packages/maps/servermaps.

[Alex007]

well I like to collect maps of all the FPS games that I have and this is the map pack from AC that I have, with this I did the last year the maprot of my clan servers check it out there are more than 450 maps all working in 1.1.4 with a screenshot of each map, more than 250 are good in my opinion the rest not much
