A new option of official map only
« on: October 07, 2008, 06:53:33 am »
I usually use official map only in my server

because people downloading map lags my server a lot

I often go to climb server, my map file is full of climb map

it makes me difficult to find the official map, so why not add a new option to show official maps only in map list?

just tick the option, and click the map list, there are all official map

How about using the /votemap command (case sensitive..) and RTFM next time?

That's not a bad idea.
I think it would be even better if there would be more "categories", for example climb, trenchwar, etc. I know that they can usualy be distingiushed by prefix, but since climb, tw etc. are not official game modes, they're all "in one sack", and when you want to add to maplist all maps of particular type, it takes a lot of time.

and why not make it possible to select "alternative" maps for different gamemodes:
you start a ctf server, but play an inf map which also appears at the bottom of the ctf maps list
or you start an inf server, but want to play a ctf map on it with the inf server settings, allowing you to choose whatever maps you want for your server?

Well, that would work well. F12.

Horve's idea is also not a bad idea, so I'd also F12 to that too.

I don't see the point. there aren't that many default maps, and they tend to change from version to version. I do however support some kind of label selection system, but that's another thing.

and why not make it possible to select "alternative" maps for different gamemodes:
you start a ctf server, but play an inf map which also appears at the bottom of the ctf maps list
or you start an inf server, but want to play a ctf map on it with the inf server settings, allowing you to choose whatever maps you want for your server?

I suggested this a while ago, but the big guys didn't seem tot ake notice. Feel free to post a new threead containing this suggestion. meanwhile, this thread will be reserved for it's original suggestion.

There isn't, but the thing is that some players may go to lots of servers with lots of custom maps, and it can be difficult for them to actually find a map they want, which they might not be able to remember the name fully unless they see it.

This is an issue with finding any map, not just the default maps, which is why I support Horve's idea, but not the original one.

yeah, I have the same problem myself. I have an idea regarding this: a map preview. I posted it in this thread (I don't want to make mess and post second or even third suggestion in one topic):
