Server Feature proposal

[Sauron Cat]

A dynamic map pool, by that I mean restricting some maps if there's not enough players on the server.

I don't know if it would be possible or a good idea.

Adding the !hide command would also be a great idea since it's difficult to see other players while hunting zombies.

Hello!

Thank you for your proposal! I proposed this with our head admins and tech team some years ago too, unfortunately I was told that CS:S engine doesnt offer a feature like this.

I actually got that idea from a game in the Arcade of Starcraft 2

so, the feature exists, it's just a mess to set up. I might actually give it another stab

 

[Nikooo777]

it would be ideal if the community could give me a hand with classifying which maps could be played when:

zm_eh_4way_fix4
zm_azduextincion_acp_final
zm_canals_classic_eh_v5
zm_cbble_eh
zm_clouds_beta2
zm_corps_v9_edited
zm_daylight_hunter_v2
zm_dino_day_v1a
zm_dust2_64_v1
zm_eh_4seasons_final
zm_eh_buntshot_v3_fix
zm_eh_crazycity_v4a
zm_eh_fast_final_2021_d
zm_eh_highway_final_v1
zm_eh_industrial_waste_v1_8_9
zm_eh_little_italy_edited3
zm_eh_origin_v4_fix
zm_eh_palace_final_15

The way I see it, we could do a separation of 12, 25, 50. We could also forgo the 12 and do 25, 50

Edit: 10, 20, 30 would be best in my opinion, I don't think going too high with the last category would be a good idea.

I have better alternative I think, maybe instead of letting maps go when there aren't enough players, we can just blocks sector of those maps. For example on zm_corps_v9_edited(not sure if it's considered a big map) the third and underground areas would be blocked when there aren't enough players. Aswell on zm_eh_crazycity_v4a, the underground would be blocked, zm_eh_prison_tower_edited7 and so on... This is my proposal, if it will require a mapper help I would love to help on this one.

I like your idea, but it's more that some spots can only be breached when you brute-force with numbers and when there's not enough players you only need 1 or 2 decent player to make it unbreachable.

I understand your concern. However, if I can block certain spots, I believe I can also create new pathways for those potentially unbreachable spots who weren't blocked.

 

[Nikooo777]

it's an idea I entertained as well, the issue is that maps are carefully balanced, closing off one side of the map will definitely lead to imbalances and confusion.

it would be ideal if the community could give me a hand with classifying which maps could be played when:

zm_eh_4way_fix4 shoud be pernament ban and remove and never ever be set any timestamp for play it . NEVER . if you do this - i promiss mate you will see such a good man here with no future problems in any kind ! but first things first You do your part and than i do my ! Delete any trace of that as it shoud never ever be in any way be recover - just please do it . Isn't it great ? I tihnk it is !

I agree. That map still has a bug. Remove it entirely and instead create and upload zm_eh_4way_fix5 to the server :-D
