Title: Insert Map into Rotation
Post by: TriedtoDestroyMetal on May 14, 2007, 02:25:34 pm

I think this one is a no-brainer. You want to keep playing and see who wins, but also want to try a new map or play an old favorite.

Trem would do well with a "Change next map" or "insert map into rotation" callvote.

My apologies, maybe I wasn't clear. Right now, if you want to play a certain map, the only way is to call a mapvote. If you pass the vote (which is unlikely), the current game will be canceled and the new map loaded. Most people know this, so they often vote no, so they can keep playing.

Now, what I'm suggesting is a callvote function which would allow you to select the next map to be played. You call a vote to change the next map in rotation, and people would be more likely to vote yes (if they like the map) because there's no risk of canceling the current round.

I've always wanted a feature like this, too.

Other games have it
/callvote map_next atcszcargo-b1
It is map_next, as nextmap is taken.

It's a very good idea !

I like this idea and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to code....

I can't think how many times I have said this.
Although people keep saying its easy, does the new map replace the next one, or get added before the next one?  Or does it skip to that point in the rotation?  What if the maps in the rotation more than once, or has has settings attached to it in the rotation?

but some one do it already!

Why is that a problem?
