New serv poll: server type/quirk

Sup all.

As you might have noticed, we're thinking about me putting up an ACR server here. Of course it won't be unlimited. But how about some discussion as to what it should be like. Vote in the poll above...if you think something not there would be cool, pick the last choice and post your idea as a reply.

Also, suggestions plz, what should it be called?

Peace

I voted for both a layout server and a normal server so that way it is normal everything with different layouts

I suggest , that ACR should have just fully normal server with regular settings , nothing more.

ACR haves Unlimited server & 1 ''normal'' server , which u guys use for scrims etc.

So yeah norm server would be awesome

admin crazy rioters is normal... theres nothing edited on it to change any of the stats, just a few new commands...

Exactly. That's why I was thinking layouts.

I think you should do one with exotic maps, but only if the autodownload speed is low (it's rather high on unlimited). Also, how would you do KotH or CTF do you have mods like that?

No, I don't have a KotH mod, and that doesn't make much sense in Tremulous; it just doesn't work with the humans vs. aliens, and doesn't work with the maps.

However, I have played with the idea of having brief blitz rounds of "King of the Hill." Let me explain. The rounds are short, maybe 5 minutes, with sudden death at 2 minutes. The humans have a central base (i.e. ATCS top or something). Perhaps both teams start at stage 3 or with credits; perhaps not. The teams are 2 or 3 people. If the humans win, they continue as humans to fight against another team of aliens. If the aliens win, they become the humans to fight those aliens.

This would be a record-setting game, with the current record holders (i.e. most human victories) displayed on the Message of the Day screen (loading screen). It wouldn't be constant; maybe only on Sundays or something like that.

It might be a long shot, but I've been thinking for a while that it might be a cool try.

Anybody like the idea? This wouldn't require people to download a mod. I'd love Capture the Flag, but that would require a mod download and so most visitors would abort (or would have auto-download off).

For exotic maps, we could just point the downloads right to a site like mercenariesguild.net. That would give a pretty fast download. But, still, most players don't download maps they don't have; they'd rather play then wait a minute or so.

This is a problem, cause there are lots of great maps that servers won't put up because they are afraid of losing visitors. Plus, newbies often leave auto-download off and will never fix that. But the problem can only be fixed by more servers putting up these maps.

i can make a mod thats small, like maybe 10 second download, but on our servers for some reason it doesnt like http downloads so its alot slower... which is why i havent put my mods on the server

i think layout but i would want to be able to save layouts and load layouts.
