I just made my own map-change up.
There's something special about my map-change: It allows players to choose which map to play next, after the game time exceeded.
A Bot will tell in public chat what maps can be voted on and all you have to do is to say the specific map's number (1 to 6) to the public chat.
The map that gets the majority of votes will be next, otherwise the map with the highest number (at max. 6) will be chosen of the ones with equal votes. If you do not vote, your opinion simply doesn't count.
Infos for tech. interested ppl:
It's written in C#.NET 2.0 (100% Works on linux with actual Mono framework).
Maps currently inside:
- Fun Park (FFA)
- Gas Giant
- z Best Of z
- Ice Land
- SunBurst
- Superstore (FFA)
- Tanksgiving
- Diagonal
- SMD (FFA)
- Passion
- BoxyWar (The relicensed version)
- Trench Warfare
This map-change system is yet in experimental evaluation status what leads to unexpectable downtimes. When it's getting close to a stable version I'm going to release source and binary!
Known Problems:
- The new server won't start, the system's just freezing after taking the exceeded server off.
- The system does not switch to the server with the majority of votes (seams to be fixed in earliest version)
- The old server won't shut down, what makes the system stuck.
