Implemented Surf: Improvement suggestions

added advert?? What do you mean?

Also, a !help command? Just to tell people about the commands that are available, know for a fact there are a lot of people who dont know about the checkpoints and the !sm mute etc, and if you put in a !help command you could probably take away the new message about "voice_enable 0" and put it in that list with the others.

 

Should add an In-Game command for this stats site:
!ws
!surfstats

or whatever so you can check it while being In-Game

 

"stats" is there already and "!stats" probably works to (haven't tried), that will show you the website in a ingame browser, same with "!forum".

Though, @n0name, "!rules" did not work for me earlier tonight.

Bugs/Mistakes:
1)
when typing next in your sentence at the begin no matter if you use a ! or not it will show you the next people you can beat in pointrank.
Should only happen if you write !next. Same with stats should be only work with !stats

2)
Further more you will find after !top, !stop and !btop in the !help menu that you can only see the top10 players -> This is wrong this really just happen if you look for !ptop not for the other ones. So this should get fixed in the !help or !timer menu aswell (beside the fact that its useless to have 2 different commands for that. One would be far enough).

3)
The startzones on surf_rebel_scaz_njv need to be re adjusted, so the main start zone is on the higher platform instead of the side.
The startzones on surf_rebel_resistance_njv need to be re adjusted, so the main start zone is on the higher platform instead of the side.

 

Small Bugs: (gonna edit this as soon as i find new ones)


The "short" endzone on surf_utopia_v3 is only zoned on one side. It should be zoned on the other side too

Also surf_nemesis got wrong mapinfo. Its tier 3 not tier 1.

The bonus startzone on surf_ace_fix is only zoned on one side, would need to be zoned on the other side aswell.

The startzones on surf_pox need to be re adjusted, so the main start zone is on the higher platform instead of the side.

surf_thembrium_sns and surf_island both got wrong mapinfo. Island is tier 2, not 1. Thembrium is tier 3, not 1.

Also surf_thembrium_sns would need a slightly higher endzone

 

Would be nice if the new commands would be silent like the rest of those that use ! as a trigger

 

Summary of all current issues plus some new map suggestions:

Map Suggestions:

surf_sippysip (Tier 3) Download

surf_mesa (Tier 1) (I know there were troubles with this map, but almost every surf server on CSGO got the map to run, so we should be able to get it working)

surf_reflex (Tier 2) (Played that one on CGN, nice linear map)


Other Suggestions:

Custom ranks for top (5?) would be nice. And also: Ranks and Names all have the same color, which is kinda boring. Would be cool to get more colors in the chat to mix it up, like every rank gets his specific color.

No Vote and RTV rights for unranked players. (Was in discussion a while ago and i still think its a good idea, cause they literally have no idea what they are voting for)

WR-checkpoints on staged maps, that show you how much you are +/- compared to the current record

Timer-Checkpoints on linear maps that give you feedback if you are faster or slower would be a very big thing to make things more competitive.


Summary of Bugs/etc. :

If you type "stats" in chat and get click on the categorie "Map Top" you cant select a map, its blocked for some reason.

The "short" endzone on surf_utopia_v3 is only zoned on one side. It should be zoned on the other side too

Also surf_nemesis got wrong mapinfo. Its tier 3 not tier 1. It also needs a bigger endzone.

The bonus startzone on surf_ace_fix is only zoned on one side, would need to be zoned on the other side aswell.

The startzones on surf_pox need to be re adjusted, so the main start zone is on the higher platform instead of the side.

surf_thembrium_sns and surf_island both got wrong mapinfo. Island is tier 2, not 1. Thembrium is tier 3, not 1.

Also surf_thembrium_sns would need a slightly higher endzone

Surf_6 got the wrong mapinfo, its tier 3 not tier 1.

 

Wrong Mapinfo:

surf_ace_fix (tier 2 not tier 1)

surf_amplitude_apex_njv (tier 2 not tier 1)

surf_lullaby_ksf (tier 2 not tier 1)

surf_stonework2 (tier 3 not tier 1) (bonus is tier 2 here)

surf_tensile_njv (tier 2 not tier 1)

surf_sippysip (still shows as a tier 1, but was changed to 3 so i dunno)

 

With the adding of tiers during votes it wont show the 2nd place map if the first map have a long name, like amplitude_encore for example

 

http://i.imgur.com/iZTK2Ls.jpg

It takes up both rows when it gets to the top

 

Endzones and other Bugs:

- surf_kitsune needs a trigger over the easter egg button to avoid people spamming it, also a higher endzone wouldnt be bad.

- surf_asrown needs a higher endzone

- there is a bug on surf_compulsive_njv that lets you skip stage 3, we need a trigger to remove this bug and a reset of the times.

- surf_rebel_resistance_njv; the endzone needs some fixes

- surf_deceptive_final bonus is broken and needs to be removed

- surf_voteforthisone missing bonus

 

I come and kneel before you, and beg of you to please... PLEASE! Remove the secret from surf_kitsune... as it is now, when the tiers are showing during votes, the tier 1 and 2 maps gets on more frequently then ever... And especially maps like kitsune, beginner, and ace... Therefor, as it's been forever since people started showing eachother how to do it, people will just camp the button on kitsune and spam the secret constantly for 30 min straight.

Meanwhile people who actually want to surf the map is ragequiting from FPS issues, from the music, and it ruins the experience for probably half, most likely more, of the servers users.
The people who does it (I did it to for a while, sorry for that) keep on saying it's revenge for the fact that the map got voted in the first place.

Anyway, the whole thing is just stupid, and especially since it can actually cause a graphical bug which screws with all the colours sometimes.

EDIT; For people who doesn't actually know what it is I'm talking about, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbUu3dgPxEw, go to the end to see what the secret is... also, imagine a god awful music playing in the background constantly while the rainbow is on.

 

Could be done easily by putting a trigger over the button @n0name .

Added it to my last pending list.

 

Here's a list of all my current suggestions, including some bigger changes. Some of them are older, some new, just so everything is on one place:

1.This is a BIGGER one i would really love to see. The current Skill Surf Server only offers maps from tier 1-3. There is currently no server with harder maps from tier 4-6.

I think i found a really good compromise here, that everyone would take advantage of. Change the server to a tier 1-4 server. That way, there are harder maps for the more skilled players and still a lot of easy ones for the newcomers. Its also a good thing to try out harder maps as a new surfer, that way you learn a lot about how surfing works.

When the server would offer maps from tier 1-4, i think everyone would be pleased and there would be no need for a t4-6 server, that a lot of people were asking for.
I will list a few very good t4 maps on my map list below, that could be added with this update.

There is really no downside of this, if people want tier 4 maps, we have them, if they dont want them, they wont vote them. CANCELLED


2. The "Extend Map" option during a vote right now is default on the Nr.9. I would switch this option to Nr.4, to prevent people from smashing 4 and looking at the vote more closely. CANCELLED, INSTEAD MAP TIME IS NOW 40 MIN


3. RTV should only be allowed after 10 minutes into the map. This will motivate people to at least try maps and not just rtv it from quick frustration and ruin the fun for others. IMPLEMENTED

4. I said this one a while ago, just a reminder here. Custom Chat Ranks for top 10 players on the server. No need to hurry for that one if you dont have time @n0name IMPLEMENTED


5. There are a few wrong mapinfos, not gonna list them all now. FIXED


6. There are some endzones and other bugs that still need fixing (see last post). FIXED


7. A feature that is missing and would be nice is a WR-Bot that displays the current wr run of a map. CANCELLED


8. When you have some signs in your name, that are no standart signs like the alphabet or numbers, your name shows up very cryptic in the leader board, i can show a few examples here if needed. FIXED

9. I still think that "No vote and rtv rights for unranked players" is a good idea, cause they literally have no idea what they are voting for and what maps are good. PLAYERS WITH 0 POINTS HAVE NO RIGHTS NOW
