snowguy changed the title to EatSleepUT ComboGib CTF Map Update.

snowguy all joust maps removed

This sounds like a dream 🤤
If it was me, I'd suggest removing all 1on1 / 2on2 maps 😋 Respectively making them un-votable when there are 10+ players on the server.
... but - since they are so often voted (also with a high player count) - there seems to be, however, a clientele who actually likes it 🤷‍♂️
I am afraid those folks get sad (or mad) when their lovely spam maps get removed / blocked.
So yeah.. Unless you don't fear upset (or angry) spawn-kill-fanatics, I guess those should stay, huh? 🤐

      bustacell This sounds like a dream 🤤

      Yeah, not so fond of joust or 1on1 maps with a full server either but what can you do? 🤨 At least occasionally there is actual CTF happening, somewhat anyway 🙂

        Thanks for the maps. I really like Abraxas and it looks like it could make for some fun games with 3v3 or 4v4. Definitely adding Abraxas for this round.

        The fragwhore is cool too but I have a dilemma with this one 🙂 I don't want to remove the original and I don't want fragwhore to be played double the time it already is, lol. Very cool edition though, thanks. I'm keeping it as a maybe for now.

          I have worn myself out trying the 100 or so maps that I have accumulated from browsing around the last 6 months or so but the update is near. I'm guessing around 15 or 20 maps are decent enough or better to add to the public servers. I just have to add them to the test server and redirect etc. etc. then make sure they all work properly. Should be done in the next day or so.

          New map update finally complete on main London Combogib server. Should get London 2 & Atlanta done later today. In total there are 23 newly added maps and just 4 map removals. I won't name the removals because a couple players probably liked them but the majority seemed to find them all boring and one of the maps spammed the log too much otherwise I would have probably kept it. If I removed one you like and you want it back just let me know.

          The new maps that were added are shown in a green font in mapvote for around 30 days, so if you like some of them start trying to remember their names now 🙂

          A few of these maps were specifically requested by players but the majority were found just by trying various maps and deciding they were decent then kept if they didn't have major problems in testing.

          I also often add maps that I played long ago that seemed somewhat fun or novel back in the day. I mostly add these so players can experience them because I have fond memories of playing them. If they end up being disliked by a majority I will eventually remove them.

          Here is the list of new maps in case anyone is interested:

          Small size or best for 3v3:
          CTF-]Plaza[, CTF-]STORM[, CTF-2_2nd_Frag, CTF-2on2-Crates2022, CTF-6H-Hyetology, CTF-ActionWOOt, CTF-F_RIFK, CTF-Hatos, CTF-Insan1ty, CTF-LiandriDocks2022, CTF-LoPingBME

          Medium size or best for 4v4:
          CTF-(IG)TheCell, CTF-Abraxas, CTF-CentroidIG, CTF-Control-LE2022, CTF-FazingFlags101][2, CTF-Hammer[X], CTF-LegoPark

          Large size or best for 5v5:
          CTF-Accelerator2StealthDP, CTF-Ahunuii-LE101, CTF-B3CrimeZone3, CTF-SquirrelBalls

          Extra Large size or best for 6v6:
          CTF-SavingV2

          I always forget how much work it is to get a map update done 😰 Now maybe I can catch up on other things 🙂

          Editing to add that the map update is now also done on the London 2 and Atlanta servers.

          I think the 2on2 maps can stay for some spammy action, but I think the 1on1 maps should be removed. Yes, it gets voted on fairly often, but the majority of times it ends up killing the server in my experience.

            vivelafrance73 Some of those 1 on 1 maps can be painful with a packed server that's for sure.

            Sorry my-explosive-balls
            Joust99 is one at the top of my "Axe These Maps" list 😆

              my-explosive-balls Where the Joust99 2022 version 🙂

              Disorder is the name of the mapper making the new 2022 maps and the good news is he is still at it 👍️ I've had a sneak peek at his latest works and they are looking very nice. I will put them on the servers as soon as he is done with them. I can tell you his concentration is on the most popular maps but I'm not sure if he will do a Joust map or not.

                Well, some have probably already noticed there was another combogib map update for today. Disorder created some new maps and made edits to a few others so I went ahead and tested approximately 70 random maps to find some to add with them in this update. In total, there are 10 newly added maps in this update. The update is done on the London ComboGib server. London 2 and Atlanta should also be updated within the next day. Here is the list of new maps in case anyone is interested:

                Small size or best for 3v3:
                CTF-Bocadillo, CTF-DoubleOblivion][, CTF-Furious, CTF-GasStation, CTF-Docks-mini-Fixed-2022, CTF-W00tAhoy-mpfix

                Medium size or best for 4v4:
                CTF-Combolicious-2022, CTF-EternalWarehouse, CTF-w00tabulousFixed-2022

                Extra large size or best for 6v6:
                CTF-Grizzled

                Another 2 new maps from Disorder just added to ComboGib London 👍️

                Small:
                CTF-Avengers][-Arena-ESU-2022

                Medium:
                CTF-Fragginglicious-2022-ESU

                Just another update to mention that I have now finally gotten around to putting the new maps on the London 2 and Atlanta ComboGib servers also. 👍️

                Forgot to update this thread with the addition to the main London combogib server 2 more disorder maps which were added a week or more ago:
                CTF-2on2-SmallMountain-ESU-2022
                CTF-4on4-SmallMountain-ESU-2022

                I have finally also, just now, added those maps to the London 2 and Atlanta combogib servers 🙂

                Yeah they are pretty decent to play, been played quite a few times the last few days.

                Thanks for the map suggestion. Checked it out already. Looks like it could be a fun small/medium map. I've marked it as a yes for the next map update.

                It may be some time yet before I add it as I usually do map updates when I have around 10 new ones to add and I'm pretty behind on my other server admin tasks at the moment.

                I also checked the author's other two maps that unrealarchive.org has listed https://unrealarchive.org/authors/sean-_c_h_u_d__-swanson.html

                I wonder if he made any others.
