Have trikz, bhop, XC, & Slide all on 1 server. Since each individual mod gets boring after awhile we could start this server up and it would keep a nice variety on this server as well as stay interesting.

Thanks to Lelouch for helping with the idea.

I don't think nuggs wants to get rid of climb though. You did suggest putting it on climb though. :thumb:

Would all the maps run with the same settings?

The slide would need it's own seperate settings, but XC, Bhop, & Trikz would all use the same settings. With the ability to use !cp.

My main worry is that, by having so many different types of map, you;'ll get a few joining to play one type, then leaving once the map changes to a different type, and the server won't pick up numbers.

I like variety. I've never played any of those types but a server that changes often is good news to me, especially if I don't like the mod that's being played I can just come back later.

This ^

Also, would this be a compltely new server, or would it replace climb?

Well, there's going to be a chance where people will join on mods they like and leave on ones they don't but at least the server's activity would be high.

As for replacing Climb, I'm not sure because I think nuggs wants to keep that server. Although, I don't see the point in it if we have this server made.

This would be a hard server to get populated. I think if we got it to where it had a good amount of players on each mod it would be fun but you also don't want 30 players on a trikz map. So I think it'd be cool if we we tried it, but I'm not sure how it would do activity-wise.

Not 30 players, like 12-15 players. Doesn't have to have a shit load of slots.

30 was an exaggeration. 15's a lot for trikz as well but I think it would still be fun. I was trying to say that for one mod you might want more players and for another one you might want less but I don't think that would be a problem with this combination actually.

Good idea Raven and Lelouche.

Would you rather have people joining and leaving because of different types of map, or would you have a nearly empty XC server with no map variety because barely anyone makes XC maps (if this were to replace the Climb server). I have finished about 90% of the maps on rotation and the 10% no one ever votes for during map votes.

There were a bunch of XC maps on the server when I went. If not, why not replay it? It seems like it's just as fun. If you don't think so, make a map. It is not hard.

It's not empty. It has people on it during the day and, like Red and Haggard say a lot, SG is one of the last communities that has and sustains a pure XC server.

Great idea raven. I dunno about the slide though since it would run on diffrent setttings

what if it was a climb where u make it to a end so its kind like a race and u have to do all those.. so its like an obstacle course also.. that would be an interesting map.. you could make several different variations of maps to go along with this. and since others take longer than we could make the slide harder and longer so it would take more time and what not because if someone is on trikz that takes a little while also because not everyone can get everything on the first try =D

We could always try adding new maps to climb :O

i wouldnt like to have it replace the climb server (it has a good handful of people on once in a while), we could just leave out the climb maps on that server. ohter than that i'm fine with it.
raven do you know the server settings for each of the gametypes?

bhop,trikz, & XC are all the same. It's in the XC server files we'd just have to copy it over, as for slide that would need totally different server settings so a config would have to be made, and those settings I'm not sure of.

If this idea is succesful.

Why not take one "BreakFloor" map to the napalm server?

Bhop and trikz require 100 tic. Please tell me its not 66...
