Title: TTT style voting system for ZS?
Post by: Travelsonic on November 09, 2011, 05:41:33 PM
I think it would be a good idea if we implemented a TTT style mapvote system for ZS.

Why?

Welp, this past week, it seems like a number of people especially took a strong affinity to picking, whenever the choice was available, 1 of the SAME 5 FUCKING MAPS OVER AND OVER.  Checkpoint, Infected Hospital, Feartower, Inversion, Office.

It's gotten so bad that in those rare instances [in the scope of a single day] that a deathmap comes up, it is picked less than it usually is.   It **FELT** like I must have played, in this past weekend alone, Checkpoint and Maze at least 5 6 - 8 times each in a single day.  Sometimes reaction to the continual picking of the same maps has received hostile feedback from others - though most often it is acknowledged to be a pain in the ass from 1- 3 others.

Even though it may not be perfect, somehow my gut tells me that the TTT style is at least able to sorta alleviate this to some extent.

I LIKE those maps, I HATE that the last week ZS seems to have ben infected by even less of a variety in map picking than what we USUALLY see - it felt like up until last week there was more variety.

AFIAK, I don't think it's possible, since TTT is based off of fretta, and ZS is off base.

And I think a system is already in place so people can't vote for recently played maps :v

Doesn't seem to be as strong as it should be - as in, doesn't keep maps off limits long enough.

If this can't be done is it possible to make the maps list in alphabetical order? Most of the time i don't have time to vote because i spend it all looking for the map i want.

I think putting it in chronological order -  meaning newest maps up top, oldest bottom - that way people could try out the new maps. If they don't like it, they'll know the name of the map they liked originally.

That still doesn't help my problem whatsoever I'll still never be able to find maps i want to vote for before the vote ends...

Either add time || add two columns: one alpahbetical, the other chrono.

Just click where it says "name" to sort it by name.

It defaults to sorting it by least played maps to the most.

Disable votemap and put a "randomly picks a map" thingy instead. Problem solved.

All it does it put the least played maps first on the list. You can pick infected hospital as many times as you want. It's goddamn annoying.

No

The current system removes played maps from the voting list for 5 consecutive games.

I can easily increase the amount if need be.

Doubling the number?

It does seem to be a problem when a map seems to be favored over others.

Another thing would be maybe a dynamic script? The most played maps take longer to be played again, while the ones that had been voted less times will show up again sooner?

I can see something based on played count as well a possibility however increasing the number to .. 8 would be quicker and accomplish what's wanted here.

Should be effective next map change :)

I think that'd be a great idea myself.

times played * 0.1 then round up and that's how many games you have to wait (min of 5 games though)

HAR HAR HAR

Shouldn't the minimum of 5 games be factored in only if the number of plays a map has meets or exceeds [or is under, perhaps] a certain threshold?
