pkd: array of string;

Have you ever heard about type "boolean"?
It can have two values: true and false. Using it is much faster than checking if two strings match.


(216000 * 1) 
Whats the point of this calculation? I think (216000 * 1) is equal to 216000 so why are you multiplying it?

Script seems very handy.

But I can't stand to see a random function coded like the way you did, sorry ..

If you have a large maplist your script might be doing a lot of unneeded loops, so:

Code: [Select]

Function Shuffle(input: array of string): array of string;
var
len, high : integer;
begin
   
  len := GetArrayLength(input);
  setArrayLength(result, len)
  high := len-1
 
  for i := 0 to len-1 do begin   
    rand := Random(0, high);
    result[i] := input[rand];
    input[rand] := input[high];
    dec(high, 1);
  end;
end;

Haven't tested it, but I hope you get the idea.

Thank you JFK, I wasnt thinking straight last night when I made this.
TK, same response as JFK about the boolean, and the ticks thing, 216000 ticks is one hour, the *1 is there for customization.
Updated, version 1.1!

its not working

worked the first time but not again. i think when it reaches the end of the randomized mapslist it goes back to original?

[Hacktank]

If it doesnt work on startup do /randomize, ill check it out and see what the deal is later.

you could make it a constant to make it more obvious

Yes, but admins aren't in the server all the time, and I don't think that worked either.

Does anyone have this script still? Or is there a better way to do a random map rotation than this?

Thanks.

there you go

I thought there was a mod like this one cause it's very simple thing to code... Eh, why do you keep with Pascal? It's so annoying cause you have to write these all "then", "begin", "end".... Bleee

<machina> don't answear if you don't really have idea what's going on...

[jrronimo]

there you go

Thanks!

Hey! Are you spying me!? 

[Bonecrusher]

looks like the script causes server crash everytime map switches

[Hacktank]

Must be the new changes to the scriptcore.

This is the latest version, dont know if it is the same as the one uploaded above.
