Here's the idea... If no players connect to a server in X time (configurable), then change the mapcycle to load up popular stock maps (configurable - thinking dust/dust2/etc) and load up X bots (yep, configurable).

Once you reach a threshhold of real players (configurable - are we seeing a pattern here?), the mapcycle would then be reset back to the server's custom mapcycle, and the bots would leave on next map change.

BRILLIANT!

Thats already been made, just not in a plugin form, Might as well make an event script on that...

[Hambone]

Truly? Awesome!

Would you be so kind as to provide a link?

[c0ldfyr3]

So, in not so many words...

Your forcing clients who do not want to play custom maps, to play custom maps because they are on your server ?

I would think this is the reason players can see what map the server is running before they connect, and also why they dont connect to your server in the first place.

So they will all leave as quick as they joined.

No, that's not what happens at all actually.

We ran an AMX pluging in the 1.6 days that did exactly this. It's been our considerable experience that most of the players will stick around and play customs if there's a good game going.

ya c0ld, ya missed the point...

i dont even use custom maps but who joins on empty havana?

i want my server to start back on dust2 if its been empty for forever

i mean, assault and those marginal maps are fun with the right people and in the rotation...
but d2 is what fills my shizzle up -- and starts things all over.
THATS the point.

THATS what me and hambone miss about AMX

btw, his server is awesome - a lot of fun there!

i also requested this of mani, hambone.

nite,

It might work to simply change the map to office or whatever you set it to. Not entirely sure.

no, it seems to do nothing at all
BUT this would be AWESOME if it worked


...i have 98 really fun maps on my server
but i only get traffic on D2 office and scoutzknivez_hc

...so i can use something like this so i can have
more than 3 maps in rotation
but still return it to SK to pick up more ppl
