mymap on dm server

[-=[AZ]=-]

I was unable to post this in the shoutbox it keeps saying "database error". But why is mymap disabled on DM?

Because the hydroxolytic beta acids within the amalgamated tangent coefficient were no longer convalescing at an expedient pace with the covalent bonds produced by the electro-plasma chromatograph indicator.

Whoops. The OS upgrade last weekend seems to have broken something.

But why is mymap disabled on DM?

It had been requested awhile back that if custom maps are to appear on the DM server, they should occur between unbroken runs of dm1-8.

Some new code was needed to make that work, but finally got around to writing it, so figured we'd give it a try.

Right now it's just playing 1 random map in between each dm1-8 cycle.

I would like to make it so 'mymap' can override that random map with something specific (and possibly extend the chain of custom maps to 2 instead of 1.)

But anyway, 'mymap' is disabled right now because more custom code is needed to get it working again while preserving the unbroken dm1-8 cycle.

OK, the new code is written.

The dm1-dm8 maps should still play uninterrupted.

But 'mymap' can slot in maps between the dm1-dm8 rotation. (2 slots max, for now.)

Let's see how that goes.

the new maps that were added most are gone, please add them back.

There are quite a few available on mymap:

Which additional maps did you have in mind?

how 'bout fixed1 and the broken series.

These are indeed maps I've wanted to add. The concern is that WallFly is not smart enough to skip them if there are more than, say, 8 players on the server. These maps seem way too small for the 16 player count that is often on DM.

(Maybe it's time to add that missing smarts to WallFly.)

I'm not really a fan of the dm1 - dm8 uninterrupted cycle, it seems unnecessary to me. I like to come on and play for 15 - 30 minutes at a time throughout the day and request a map, but if its on dm1 I then have to wait for 45 - 60 minutes of map cycling for my requested map to come on. Is there any way we could eventually go back to the old mymap format?
