Hello, I very rarely post here, but I come with news today. I have created a 34 player server with fan maps and it went online yesterday. RenGuard enabled, Brenbot supported and here's a few other stats...

Hope to see many of you there! Cool

Having a huge rotation made up of poorly made and designed levels isn't much of an incentive for people to join.

That is one huge rotation. I think you should streamline it to maybe 10 maps, Think about it in day format... an hour a map, you have 3 days worth of maps before a map is repeated. Also, very few people will have all 74 maps. As I said I think you'll have better results and a more enjoyable hosting experience, and playing experience for your players by just streamlining to to a fraction of that, and picking out the best of the best from the great sea of all things mapped.

Well, since I played a server that had about this many maps, 57 If I am correct, and since it is WolSpy, it should fill up nicely.

The best fan map server is UN Fan maps. It's almost always full. They need to remove a lot of shitty maps , such as clover. Don't even get me started on who would want that map in there rotation.

Anyways I guess I'll stop by and check it out. I've been having a blast playigng fan maps the past few days.

I'm still undecided about that full RenGuard...it tends to be a bit of a server-emptier.

This is what happens when you run a fan map server:
You start with 10 or so maps, mostly made by well known mappers, like Aircraftkiller, sanda, somerhino, neosaber, TITAN, e.t.c.


ok so you have a rotation of 15 fairly solid maps...

then after about a month, PEOPLE say: "MORE MAPS Razz"

ok so you add another 10 or so....

after 2 months... "MORE MAPS Razz"

your like uhh ok, here are some more... this keeps happening for a while untill you have a monster rotation Razz


as far as I can tell, people that play on new maps servers want to play a differnt new map every time they join... don't ask me, I would yank the rotation down to 25 if had a choice but I know like everyone would bitch whine constantly and it seems more people are happier with a large rotation...


My personal top 20 maps:

-Tib_Pit_3
-High_Noon_2.1
-Terrace
-Cairo
-Country_Side
-Niagra
-Siege
-BunkersTS
-FieldTS
-MetroTS
-RiverRaidTS
-BasinTS
-GlacierTS
-Bio
-ForgottenTown
-Seaside_Sunset
-RuinsOX
-NightOX
-MutationRedux
-Marsh

You should visit the mod section more often.

Half RenGuard is suckey (allows hidden cheaters)

Full RenGuard kicks the people who are too lazy to download & run RG

would you believe that some idiot on my server the other day said: "I dont run RG because i dont cheat!" :rolleyes:

It's not just maps that makes servers good or fun, it's the server sided stuff (IMO) like in BC.

But a little more then just WW maps would be great tho...

I actually think a server with a big rotation.. not HUGE... maybe about 20-25 maps... because you don't repeast as often, after about 5-6 cycles, It starts to get a little boring.

The half renguard system is a way for everyone to play. Since renguard is made by the comunity not everyone is willing to download it. The point of this program is to give renguard users the assurance that they wont be convicted as cheaters. Non renguard users just play the game normally.

I personally feel half renguard servers would also refer a lot more people to renguard and encourage them to download the program. If a n00b joins a renguard server and gets kicked without knowing what renguard is chances are he will just go to a different server. If hes in a half renguard server he will ask people questions and actually learn what the program is.
