IC TF2 Server Map rotation

Preacher

All,
Have had many requests to update/modify/change/spay/neuter the IC TF2 map rotation. Below is the current map cycle.

cp_gravelpit
cp_dustbowl
cp_granary
cp_well
ctf_2fort
tc_hydro
ctf_well
cp_badlands
pl_goldrush
cp_fastlane
ctf_turbine
pl_badwater
cp_steel
cp_egypt_final
cp_junction_final
plr_pipeline
pl_hoodoo_final
koth_sawmill
koth_nucleus
koth_viaduct
ctf_sawmill
cp_yukon_final
koth_harvest_final
ctf_doublecross
cp_gorge
cp_freight_final1
pl_upward
plr_hightower
pl_thundermountain
cp_coldfront
cp_mountainlab

I was thinking of the following maps as an updated mix of classic and new popular IC maps:

cp_manor_event
cp_gravelpit
pl_thundermountain
koth_harvest_final
cp_dustbowl
cp_coldfront
cp_well
plr_hightower
cp_badlands
pl_upward
pl_goldrush
cp_mountainlab
pl_badwater
cp_egypt_final
pl_hoodoo_final
koth_nucleus
ctf_doublecross

Looking for other recommendations as to remove or add maps.
Thanks,
Preacher

I'd add cp_gorge to the final list, bot other than that I think it looks beautiful

Preacher

DONE.

cp_manor_event
cp_gravelpit
pl_thundermountain
koth_harvest_final
cp_dustbowl
cp_coldfront
cp_well
plr_hightower
cp_badlands
pl_upward
pl_goldrush
cp_mountainlab
pl_badwater
cp_egypt_final
pl_hoodoo_final
koth_nucleus
cp_gorge
ctf_doublecross

shwaip

I'd like ctf_well or ctf_turbine in there.

BobbyDigi

Oh yes Turbine is good times.

In general, I'm all for whatever brings the pubs.

Canti

I think Yukon and Junction can go die but that might just be me.

These are all great maps that should be in rotation, especially Corporation.
cp_corporation_b3 - http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/56057
cp_subway_final - http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/129072
cp_castle4 - http://www.teamfortressmaps.com/mirrors.php?file=227

Also, I'd like to see Warpath at least available to play if enough people vote to have a battle that lasts for.....EVER.

BobbyDigi

I second Castle4. The other two look interesting, would like to try.

I like castle and Turbine, but I've noticed we usually lose people on doublecross.

pigflipper

You lose people when you lock the server to farm items.

Preacher

DONE and DONE. Great suggestions. Removed Double Cross and added Castle, Turbine, and the others Canti recommended.

cp_manor_event
cp_gravelpit
pl_thundermountain
koth_harvest_final
cp_dustbowl
cp_coldfront
cp_well
plr_hightower
cp_badlands
pl_upward
ctf_turbine
pl_goldrush
cp_mountainlab
pl_badwater
cp_egypt_final
pl_hoodoo_final
cp_warpath
koth_nucleus
cp_corporation_b3
cp_subway_final
cp_castle4
cp_gorge

I think this is a very good list.

Pig,
we, the 12 people on the server this afternoon, agreed to collectively put a password on the server, play the manor map, and while playing alternate the present that spawns. I posted in IRC if it was an issue as well as posted the password. All {ICs} that texted me were immediately given the password and joined and played along. It was only for a couple hours. As far as I know and I play ALOT/TOO MUCH, that is very rare. Not sure why that's an issue.

Could we also look at map configs? 45 minute time limits are so 2008.

Now we have spiffy cvars like mp_winlimit and mp_maxrounds.

Preacher

What would you recommend for mp_winlimit and mp_maxrounds, Beartato?

Scratch

Something like:
CTF - win limit 2 (best 2 of 3)
Push - win limit 3 (best 3 of 5)
KOTH - win limit 3 (best 3 of 5)
Attack/Defend - maxrounds 2 (1 round attacking, 1 round defending)
with appropriate time limits in case of a stalemate.

Keep in mind that you have to set all 3 variables in each map config, or the setting from the last map will roll over. For example, only setting the win limit in cp_well.cfg and the max rounds in cp_dustbowl.cfg, then playing them in that order, will result in cp_dustbowl having the max rounds from cp_dustbowl.cfg, but also the win limit from cp_well.cfg, because the win limit cvar didn't get changed with the new map.
