What 3 maps? Is there not a "next" or "more" button that you can press to see more?

I was tired, perhaps I overlooked it. I will get back to you on this. I am sure however that I only had 3 options and no "more" option, just a "back".

We should have a map playtesting night (at the same time as clan practice night, perhaps? one shows his real skill on a map he's never played before, afterall ) when we play a whole bunch of candidate maps and decide if they should be added permanently into the mapcycle. THAT would be nice.


I was going to ask just that, I know of three maps that need beta/alpha testing.

Neo's, morphine's, and mine (if I can compile the damn thing)

I would be nice to have a small beta pack that people could download and we would put them in rotation one night.

I have not looked yet, I am unsure if i can even upload a map onto the server, but if i can i would be happy to run a beta testing for you guys sometime.

right now, my dumb ass cannot seem to switch maps properly, so i dunno. smiley

assuming i can however, i will get back to you on my availability this weekend.

somehow though, i doubt peons like me can upload. :/

Methinks the admin mod needs you to manually list the maps you can change to in a text file somewhere...

Yeah you do, but I always update them when I upload maps. I think every time a new server update is made, the old list is overwritten, but I dunno why it would only list 3 maps when there are even more than 3 STANDARD maps now.

Nah I'm afraid you don't have access to the server directly, so you can't upload. Sounds like a good idea, and if people get maps to me or point me to downloads, I can put them on the server in advance so they can be tested even if I'm not around.

Exciting! I'll have the alpha finalized by today and I'll get you a download soon. I just have to touch up some lighting and weapon placement!

I can't wait to playtest my map, and others.

In a way I am glad. If something shows up unexpectedly, that leaves me out of the equation. It also on the other hand, makes it difficult to assist new members when no other admin is around to upload.

tis a two edged sword i suppose. maybe someday when i have been here long enough, i will be permitted.

sorry guys..

if i might suggest, once the map is uploaded, that you put it into the "switch" listing so i can load it upon request?

I am prolly posting this in the wrong place as well, but oh well.

I was going to switch maps to island17, but it wouldn't let me. in fact of the whole cycle of maps, i only show 3 of them to switch to. don't ask me which 3, thats unimportant. the thing is, there are more than 3 maps nd i cannot see them

am i doing something wrong?



No you're not. It happened to me too yesterday evening. The maps were lockdown, steamlab and i forgot the third one smiley .

I think that either the maplist.txt or mapcycle.txt in the hl2mp dir lists the maps that the Mani admin mod reads from (and so determines which the admins can switch to) and it's not hidden away somewhere else...

So, are you saying that because of the patch I got yesterday, that thats why it borked?

Today, I can see all the maps and could if I wanted to, switch to them.

I was not imagining it?

Just a reminder about tonight's match. We are playing 2H2K at 21:00 on the SC server. Get in IRC at 20:30 if you are wanting to play. If we can score a victory tonight, or even a draw (ie. win one of the two maps), then we should be going through to the next round of the cup smiley

What Orph fails to mention is that we lost on our own map smiley No matter, we took 1 point from the match, and I *think* that is enough to secure us a place in the next stage of the cup.
