SourceOP Arena Votemap/Spectator
#1

Hey, I've been playing SourceOP Arena for a while and love it but I thought I'd ask why votemap/RTV doesn't work/isn't implemented.

"Votemap" seems to be a working command but doesn't let anyone use it, at all. Is this broken? Or is the server supposed to have it disabled? I'd really like to see it enabled again, maybe even if just a donater could call the vote. Just as long as there is a way to change the map when most people on the server collectively agree that they don't want to play on the current map.

Any reason this isn't used on the arena server? (Or maybe even the rest of them, I don't really remember)

Maybe some other arena players could post saying whether they'd like to see map votes or not?

Spectator: Another disabled feature : (. I understand "If it's enabled people will try to afk in it". But is there not a way to just auto-kick someone after 15 minutes??

Many skilled players come into the arena server and sometimes I'd like to record a demo of them playing a class I'm not that good at.

(not to mention someone hacking/cheating could knowingly pick the server because they know that no one can spectate them. Only a very obvious cheater would ever get votekicked.)

Edit: Oh, finally. votescramble is a very useful command to make non-arena servers (which I don't play often because there is no votescramble) not stack quite as much. When ever I join a SourceOP server I find that the teams are usually lopsided. One second I'm the 1337h4x0rz pro and another time we'll get spawn camped before a cart can even move an inch. Stacking really ruins the fun of that gamestyle (unless you stack intentionally--which I don't find fun or challenging to gloat while team-stacked or pretend I'm better than I actually am)

Anyway, just some suggestions to make a great server even better.

Well thanks for reading.

*Cough*Watchtower*Cough*

In all seriousness, I know a LOT of people quit and take a 30 min break whenever watchtower comes around. Granted, a 30 minutes break is nice once in a while, but it sucks coming home from work only for the server to be on.. *GASP!* WATCHTOWER!

If I had my way I'd flat out remove the map, but a way to vote past it would be nice, too.

Votemap is disabled. I can give you guys map veto if you want.

For spectator, it's hard to detect if somebody is AFK or just watching somebody. 15minutes is too long, and I don't like people wasting slots in spectator anyways. Maybe a SourceTV server instead? The problem with SourceTV is it demands more than you'd expect, but it should be fine on a 24 player server.

Not really interested in doing votescramble on that server. It scrambles on its own every 3 wins.

I'm definitely for the map veto like the valve maps server because when someone types in nextmap and everyone sees watchtower coming up, i see a bunch of people leave or people just start complaining, lol. It's the reason why i asked you previously about the map voting power DF, but I think the veto is more than fine.

Leave watchtower alone! Just because you can't enjoy the map doesn't mean it deserves all the hate. d0= sheesh

I like the arena server how it is right now but I never seem to be able to play Nucleus during my sessions. )0= That would be my only gripe. I am hesitant to see the veto put in place because watchtower would be the new hydro. \0=

I have no idea what any of the faces the symbols under the 0= are supposed to be.

I happen to like Watchtower, but I also like Hydro. I guess that makes me crazy. They're good maps, I don't see why everyone complains. Usually, when I play Hydro, one team will make it to the last point. I haven't seen many stalemates, but I guess that's because sudden death is enabled on valve maps.

They are backwards smilies... I can't understand why it's so hard to understand what they are.

=0) is (0=

etc. etc... All the 14 year old girls I talk to on yahoo chat know what they are but gamer guys must be the biggest morons. (j/k by the way... don't get your panties in a bunch)

I understand they are faces I just don't know why you put different things under each one if they are all the same thing.
