ttt map list (January 30th, 2012 Update....See OP)

The Refined Map List:
(January 30th, 2012)

- Alphabetized
- No scrolling, all maps in plain view
- Significantly longer selection time (~3x as long?)
- Recently played strikeout (red line?) such as Harbl Hotel
- Thumbnail appears centered above map list columns when mouse-over

Thanks for contributing guys.

This x 2,200056.  The time limit is too short, IMO - which is not only unhelpful for choosing maps, but also for getting all the proof you can only get post-rond [especially if, for whatever reason, I encounter the issue where I can't flip through the tabs in the end-of-round report, which is in of itself annoying].

On top of that, I wouldn't oppose a format for laying out the maps where instead of a 2-collums-whatever-rows layout for all the maps, why not a 3 or 4 column display spreading the choices further across the screen?  Most if not all map names aren't THAT long at all, plus if there are more maps that nid being displayed, you can fit more on the screen at once [combined with sizing the font down by 1 or 2 sizes as well?]

It should be, at the very least, 3x more.

The porblem lies with the range of computer monitors people use. We can't exclude anyone from viewing all the maps. Now if it were an option (and the 2 rows were the default) I'd be all for it.

I'm sure that one can adapt the idea to handle various resolutions without issue.  On 2nd thought, I should amend my statement so it is at most 3 columns, 4 would be a bit nuts.

I would also like to add to display a "(Recently Played)" tag after a map that is on hold for 10 more maps.

Yes! This is a perfect idea. I've also seen this on other communities as well, one such being ECG (which went down due to a complication with the host). I remember it being shot down in-game due to "It's unnessesary and only means more work." So...

Great suggestion. It'll let us play more of the maps we want to play, not just the usuals. A great combination with the last 10 round rule.

Maybe get a sreenshot for every map and that would be perfect.

Awesome. But we go loads more maps than those in TTT. It'll be a waste of time for players to find a specific map.

This system shows the maps avaliable for next round. Not all the server's maps are there as the menu changes each map. I do beleive this server could greatly improve on this and have a way of showing ALL maps.
