Map Rotation / Map Suggestions

[VoiDeD]

This thread will be used to keep track of the maps added and removed from the DB rotation.

Feel free to discuss any map suggestions in this thread!

Here's our current map rotation:

[VoiDeD]

Removed dbs_various_b7 from the rotation due to some server crashes.

[VoiDeD]

Removed dbs_pyramid_b3 from the rotation due to server crashes.

[demonspork]

dbs_bowsers_revenge_b7
db_bowsers_revenge_b7
are the same map with different names, the MD5 of both is the same.

dbs_nuketoss_b3
dbs_nuketoss_b6
dbs_nuketoss_rc1
b3 and rc1 are variations on the same map
b6 is an entirely different map. This is rather confusing, not sure what can be done about it though.

dbs_hotnuke_b9
dbs_hotnuke_rc1b
db_hotnuke_b5
b9 and rc1b are slight variations (I vote for rc1b if you consolidate) of the same map.
b5 is still a dbs map (not sure why called db) but is an entirely different map. Maybe slightly related, but so much smaller and enclosed rtaher than wide open like the other 2.

Removed db_bowsers_revenge_b7 from rotation.

As for the rest of the maps, I chose to keep them because often times players want to play a specific version of a map.

As for db_hotnuke_b5, I believe it was created during the time before there was a speed dodgeball at voogru, and before the dbs_ prefix was standardized.

That isn't a voogru db map.

[Punishment_Fatal]

That isn't a voogru db map.

Voogru...?

[VoiDeD]

We're running voogru's dodgeball plugin on our servers, which only works with db_ or dbs_ maps. tfdb_ are maps for a separate plugin.

oh

So I've been thinking about working on some new maps in my spare time, so I figured I'd post them to the only remaining Dodgeball server I know of.

Select

Although I'm not sure you guys play this much I released this a while ago to another server who didn't want it. I figured it might help the round times out a little bit and also make it look a little less like crap.

RC4
* Replaced Solitary with a new map called: Neon.
* Replaced skybox in Rooftops with a static texture. (No more seeing the rest of the map through it.)
* Made waiting room bigger, and made waiting room rockets do damage. To speed up rounds a bit. (Also a health refreshing trigger after waiting time is over.)
* Added some obstacles and spruced up Multi-Arena.
* Made Blocks mini-game blocks get chosen at the same time, also made them choose faster.
* Added "Stayin' Alive" loop to Disco Inferno.
* Added "Afternoon Delight" loop to Champagne Room.

Very cool, thanks for the updated version!

Updated dbs_select_rc3 to dbs_select_rc4.

[VoiDeD]

Added dbs_gallifrey_b6 to the rotation.

[w0rthy]

Gallifrey crashes the server currently, if you didn't know already.

[VoiDeD]

Yea... I've left it in rotation so I could try to get some crash dumps when it crashes so I can try to diagnose why. Unfortunately, Valve's crash reporter has been swallowing them and hasn't left me anything to look at. I'll likely just remove the map unless someone can point me to a specific cause the crash.
