Title: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: jitspoe on March 11, 2004, 04:36:53 PM

Ok, I'm going to start getting the new rotation system underway, and it's going to need a bunch of map definition files.  I'm planning on putting them in pball/maps/defs/mapname.txt.

Here's an example for pbcup:
minplayers 0
maxplayers 6
supports CTF
supports DM
default CTF

So the map will load if there are no players on the server or up to 6 players, but it won't if there are more than 6.  It will default to CTF, but players can vote for the DM type.

and midnight:
minplayers 4
maxplayers 12
supports Elim
supports CTF
supports 1Flag
default CTF

Now, if you guys could go through all the relased maps and find appropriate mins/maxes and supported game modes, it would help a lot. :)  Either post them here or put together the actual text files and send them to me.  To test what game modes maps support, change "ctfmode" and reload the map.
Values are:
-1 Elim
0 DM
1 1Flag
2 CTF
3 Siege

Could it have a default default of CTF? so if you don't put in a default, it thinks default is CTF.

I just dont think most people will like it or use it.  People like small maps, so everyone joins the server when pbcup is on, then it will change to brainstorm cuz you have 16 players on the server, now half the players will leave cuz they hate a bigger more complex map like that, so you are left with a not so good game of like 3v2 brainstorm.  See what im saying.  I dont know, i just wouldnt waste too much time on it when there are other things that can be more useful.

jit, aren't you working on a voting system for that?

jits how about making 'supports' one line...

supports DM CTF

I was just thinking of the simplest possible way to code it ;)  It's a lot easier to read in one word at a time than break it up into lines.  I guess I could still do it that way -- either way would be fine.

Excellent.  Now I just need to get the new rotation system finished.

Jits, I left 1 or 2 maps blank.  Dark and I couldn't figure out what to do with bombsaway.bsp, so... GL

Title: Re: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: jitspoe on March 26, 2004, 09:37:42 PM

Bombsaway is just straight elim -- I'd say 0-6 players.

Title: Re: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: jitspoe on April 15, 2004, 08:40:47 PM

Ok, I have it reading in the files now.  Here's an example: pball/maps/mapinfo/arenaball.txt

[mapinfo]
minplayers 0
maxplayers 6
supports 1flag elim
default 1flag

Note: no punctuation.  Alternatively you can put supports on separate lines (it just ORs them together).  You can have multiple default values and it will alternate (say you want to alternate between 1 flag and 2 flag ctf).  You can also use the txt file for a readme of your map and have the [maplist] at the end.  Or you can have the [maplist] at any position in the text and end it with ###.

I'm putting together the info files from the posts here now.

Title: Re: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: jitspoe on April 16, 2004, 07:31:16 AM

Well, I have about 90 mapinfo files done.  Boy, there's a lot of maps on the public server rotations!

I've been testing the new rotation system and so far it's been working quite well.  I was surprised -- got it almost working on the first try.  There was a slight logic error with the game modes which I quickly fixed.  It's pretty cool being able to play the same map in multiple different game modes.  Not that many support it, though.

What's really nice about this system is that it will allow mappers to design maps for a target number of players.  It will also allow them to have fun designing maps with multiple gameplay modes that will actually get played. :)

Does it override worldspawn gamemode?

Title: Re: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: jitspoe on April 16, 2004, 05:39:09 PM

No.  You'd have to make a .ent file to do that.

Title: Re: Maps: min/max players and supported game types
Post by: Eiii on April 17, 2004, 09:48:29 PM

accually, ANY non-dm map supports elim. just make it so elim is automatically in there, but if DM is set, it's out. or you  could put something like "NON-ELIM"... :)
