Dodgeball Server Rotations

[-Thief-]

The purpose of this thread is to inform players of the DB server rotations and to provide a place for discussing any additions or removals.

Mappers should also request rotation updates for new versions of maps already in the rotation here.

Included here is the time limit for each map in the rotation. Lower time limits have been added for some maps over time because of the monotony factor, and the fact that we used to have much less maps to choose from than we do now. Map time limits are also available for discussion and change.

Default Dodge Ball map time limit is 20 minutes unless noted

Thanks for this thread that is, frankly, quite useful and will, hopefully, be up to date. As for discussion on Addition/Removal, I think that dbs_snowforest_b3 should be a bit shorter. It has the workings of a, at the least, decent map, it's just that how the map is at this point in time, it becomes quite monotonous pretty quickly. Maybe about 15 minutes instead of the usual 20?

[Mr.T]

This thread and the CH rotation thread need to be stickied.

Or perhaps it would be better to put a map or multiple maps between snowforest and pingpong? Those maps are quite similar, in the sense that red and blu are divided by a center line. Just my two cents.

[Power and Glory]

Mountain and Towers are the 2 maps that seem to empty the server the most from what I see on the server. I can tolerate Towers but with Mountain a majority of the time I disconnect. For me personally it cause you end up with a lot of 1v6,7,8 since people rush the control points and then get hit by a nuke. Funny to watch though to be honest :P With it coming after 2 really good maps the regulars tend to head for the exits when they see Mountain.

I did see the server empty a bit on Space Invaders last night over time, but I have not played too much of that map lately to see how its been doing overall.

[ExileLord]

Just finished up dbs_risers and need it to be uploaded. Link is here.

On the subject of the rotation, I would say that warfield should be removed as it is just a mess. Space invaders should also be removed in my opinion or at least reduced to 10 minutes. I I personally think the time on bowser's revenge should be reduced to 15 minutes but that's just me.

[Noumenon]

I agree with Exile that bowser's revenge needs to either be shortened or removed. I would personally prefer that map to be a multirocket map because of all the space available. dbs_cowlevel needs to replace dbs_pingpong since it's basically two ping pong courts with transparent grounds, and that pretty much removes most of the monotony. If not cowlevel, then at least db_ freeway. db_pit needs to be extended to at least 30 minutes since it's pretty much the best map ever

Also, because 3/13 maps in the speed rotation are nuke only, I suggest putting in dbs_stackednukes to help even out the ratio.

[SPYCHECK]

I hope my map gets into rotation, even though I doubt it will.

Uploaded dbs_risers_b2 and db_bunnyhop_a3 for testing today.

FYI: Some maps uploaded recently (last couple weeks) might be ready for rotation, but I never got a sign from the mapper that they thought their map was ready for the rotation in it's current state. If you consider your map fully updated for the most part, then speak up and we will test it again or add it to the rotation.

[Frohman]

Yeah I agree that Bowser's Revenge and Snowforest should be shortened to 15 minutes.

[HoundDawg]

FYi, freeway should just get removed. I never took it past b1. I'm not sure if I will either. It had a cool theme, but it just didn't seem fun.

I'm touching up the things that have been mentioned to me (as no one will ever post anything in my thread that I need to know) then I will release b1 and we should be good for that map.

[ExileLord]

Risers has been updated to b3 and needs to be uploaded. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3569419/dbs_risers_b3.rar

[ExileLord]

Twinnuke is on b2 now. dbs_twinnuke

This thread is for rotation and map suggestions, let's keep the updated maps to the threads that you already have created for them.
