Title: Fretta/TTT votes
Post by: Mufasa on June 01, 2011, 10:39:31 PM
is it possible to change the voting system so it lists them in alphabetical order? i always spend most/if not all the vote time looking for what i want, and by then it's too late to convince others to vote for it too

i suspect it might be as easy as just changing an for k,v in pairs to for k,v in ipairs or something like that

might have a look through fretta base later

Hmm, well it's definitely possible to sort the voting entries..

I don't know, hasn't bothered me to think of that.

It would be interesting to see how many others would want this.

In my opinion, the variable order keeps voting fresh instead of the same order every time.

I agree with coolz on that aspect; when everything shifts people are more likely to see something new.
Will they pick it? no.
but let me hope dammit

Maybe an alternate tab that lists them by alphabetical order?

ZS has them alphabetically. I'd like the idea of it randomly generating a list each time.

Hmm, good point.

Another thing I would LOVE to see is somehow list them by the preferred player-size.

List it from smallest maps to largest, based on user input.


People always vote for zs_ascent when theres like 20+ people ;~;


Yelling as loud as you can "LETS VOTE FOR A BIG MAP" generally helps with this though.

Let's avoid adding too much, 'cause you get like 10 seconds to vote and by the time you find what you want, it might be already too late to pick it.

I have seen several ways of going about this. Some servers with over 30 maps will randomly chose 5 or so maps and you vote on those instead of the whole list. I have also see ones based on what Snivy said about the player amount. I believe it was an sm plugin that controlled the maps that were avalible to chose with a certain amount of players.

with fretta there's already the limits on the gamemode anyway, should be able to find the map you want for it, since you already have the limits on the gamemode

having people choose new maps.. confusing them isnt really the way to do it i think

Guy 2: Thats krusty down there! Its at the middle left side.
Guy 3: Thats vessel! Its at--
*so on fighting within 10 secs of choosing*

Fretta vote is not fight gamemode

The tab idea is +1

Maybe even increase the voting time to like 20 secs instead of 10?

The map list doesn't show all maps at once, you have to scroll to see them all.

If we sorted them alphabetically, there would be a selection of maps that nobody ever saw unless they looked for them.

ben.. thats the point of it, being able to find ones you're looking for.. it's not as if all the maps everyone is going to vote for is going start with A
