New maps on servers

[XTR3M3]

Theseare questions mostly for Tom, but I think other people/admins should see the answer, and input on thesequestions too.I have requested new maps on the server I admin 2 times, Seattle CZ Warzone, (and provided the maps in an email as an attachment because why should he have to look for them?) and have players frequently ask for other ones, especially after they see we have added one. Anyway, here we go:
1. Should there be a rule of thumb for how many maps to request?
2. Should there be a monthly limit or server limit? (cuzhe has a life too)
3. Should there be a time during the month when they could be added so they could be done all at once?
4. What procedures should we go through to have a map added?.....personally I think that the requester should have to A. provide the map, which means all files needed to add it to the server, and B. try to add maps that the "regulars" and others on the server like to increase attendance on the server. Anything else?
5. Should we have a list of "approved maps" on the Spawnpoint website?
6. Which brings up the opposite question of: Can we have a map removed from a server?


I was just curious because after 2 map requests, I was starting to feel like a "pain in the ass". Most of these questions are to get a feel for what is acceptable and what is over the top.

flashdog68,
Funny thing, I asked the same question about new maps for the Evolutions.nl server also serveral weeks/months ago. Starlog provided a list of maps (about 100) on the Evolutions.nl server. The maps are not available for view as map option under the admin function (bind p admin) . . . just the basic maps are available which gets a bit boring. I started to log in to the various maps to see what's available but it is time consuming since maps have to be downloaded (did this on early AM Saturdays) plus the serverfroze at times. Players on Evolutions.nl like dust and dust2 a bit too much but they are the customers.
I've played other servers with great maps like de_temple, de_mill, yemen, etc . . . and was hoping this be available to the Evolutions.nl server also. Anyway, I will leave the phxx management to provide the answer to you.

i def think that there should be some new maps added to the servers. it keeps the server more alive and more hits.i asked for iceworld in one server and it fills up with in 5 minutes. but hey you can always ask never hurts.

I'm so tired of all those dust map, every damn time I have to use compressed air to clean my keyboard, and you can't imagine how painfull it can be to weirski goggles for 30min.

The idea is to make the administering of the servers as easy as possible for me and another.
That is why we have a template for the servers, and when a NEW one gets built it is generic.

I am willing to work with most of you on any server, but keep in mind, I like to be killed a lot, as my score shows.
So this means, I want to play, if I am having to admin the admins' then it takes away from the enjoyment.

If your testing maps, and you find they Kill your session, PLEASE send me the ip, and the map that crashed it.
I would rather delete that map, and reload another.

I do agree with OPREP's comment on the fact that opening the possibility for new maps would be an asset to many servers. The Evolution.nl where I usually play has dust 1 and 2 only in the rotation. Maps like aztek and office are also fun to play.

My suggestion: Adding new maps with shorter map change delays (maybe 15min instead of 30?)
