MIX Gamemode cycle

[Nick_026]

Over the past year, all votes on the mix server have been truly random, resulting in any game mode potentially appearing on the voting screen. However, this led to a disproportionate number of "Never the Same" (NTS) maps being played, especially when there was a high number of NTS enthusiasts online, with NTS maps making up around 90% of the selections. As a result, other game modes received significantly less playtime.

To address this issue, I have decided to reintroduce the gamemode cycle. This means that the voting screen will now cycle through the various gamemodes in the following order:

NTS -> Shooter (SH) -> Destruction Derby (DD) -> Reach the Flag (RTF).

This adjustment aims to ensure that every player has the opportunity to enjoy their preferred gamemodes while maintaining a more balanced distribution of gameplay across all modes.

It's worth noting that Capture the Flag (CTF) and Deadline (DL) modes are disabled from this cycle. Therefore, I'm seeking input on the matter: Would you like to see this cycle implemented, continue with true random voting, or suggest an alternative cycle? Your feedback is appreciated.

NTS > SH > DD > RTF > NTS > SH > DD.

 

This way RTF gets played once every 2 cycles.

Is it possible to implement something like " If X last maps = NTS, vote = (Only SH, DD)" or something similar? This would prevent abusing only one game mode, while still letting majority to decide for the most part.

Or if possible, enable cycle once X amount of players join, since when it's 2-4 players active on the server, SH or DD can be quite boring.

Great idea, these kinds of cycles are also possible and highly appreciated. If you have similar idea's to this let me know

With the current code base this is not possible, but it should be relatively easy to implement. I've added this option to the poll

NTS - DD - NTS - SH - NTS - REMOVE RTF NO ONE PLAY IT ANYMORE 

 

or make it randomly so majore players votes for the appreciate game mode for them 

 

why u have to force to play a mode that they don’t want it and they don’t have time to waste waiting to play their favorite mode … 

 

don’t use dictature in game 

make it ez for everyone and put randome votes .. 

 

as we see from previous cote system .. 90% of players vote for NTS .. sooo they clearly likes NTS MODE MORE THAN SHIITER MODE OR R(W)TF MODE

That is not a bad idea

The MIX gamemode cycle has been updated to:
NTS -> SH -> DD -> RTF -> NTS -> SH -> DD
