    1. Not really going to happen - most people come here because it exactly is a t1-3 server.
    if we suddenly changed that, we should surely lose some players.
    Additionally, as you see yourself - even with t3 maps, either they are not often voted or rtv'd instantly.
    I don't want to waste time on something which has no effect in the end.

    2. Will look into that

    3. Will look into that

    4. In queue... somewhere

    5. You can include them in a spoiler. Many of them are only wrong because they are saved twice in the database.

    6. Needs another session.

    7. Again.. this costs money and will only be available for VIPs.

    8. Known bug, already looked into that and even compared code from WR/ptop. No difference in code, couldn't really find the cause.

    9. Not a bad idea, the only problem is that 70% of our players are unranked, and maybe someone is just switching servers and already knows about the maps?

    10. Will try to add everything but t4 and the following:
    - Halloween (we literally tried everything, the map is just too large)
    - Oma (has a map trigger, can't be overriden with a plugin)
    - happyhands4 (insta-rtv'd)
    - * liberation2 (I guess we removed it somewhen later).

    Okay so now, maps just get extended until the max is reached, is it maybe possible to make it so the votes that are on 2 and 3 gets randomized? Might be a better solution

    Also, this still happens @n0name@n0name Imgur

    Changed it to be last option again.
    For the latter, this should be fixed in the meanwhile, I have reduced the length of the map by further 3 characters.

    Make a specific walking speed, like it's the same for knife, no weapon and with a gun, because right now I think it's 250, 260, 240. No need to change like the number, know the guys at Horizon had problem with changing the number on the timer, but the value didn't seem to be to hard.

    Also, custom colors? I know custom tags just got here, but you managed to get it to a different colour for all top10, possible for us to choose a color?

    And last, what tiers of maps are we lacking the most? to like, make it balanced

    EDIT; A tool for some predetermined people to zone bonuses on maps... And maybe a way to add maps?

    Was in plan, but @n0name@n0name said it is very time intensive to do this, so we skipped it last update.

    There are less tier 1 and 2 maps and more tier 3, but the problem is, there exist way more t3 maps than 1 and 2 combined. Its just the most common tier. I am constantly looking for new tier 1 and 2 maps, but tbh there are not that much and we already got most.


    That would be awesome. That way we could have "mappers" that do the zoning and stuff, so we dont have to call noname for every little zone.
    Btw. I would volunteer as a mapper if that is possible, cause i think i have enough experience and know how zones have to look.

    Ye, and I know it should work, even if we might not use the same system as Horizon it should work kind of the same, I guess... Because I know they have a very simple tool, and they also allow certain people to zone and add maps... I would also volunteer to both of those roles

    EDIT; Also, I know there are a ton of t1 and t2 we dont have, been surfing a bit on Horizon and they have a ton... Though, not quite sure since many of their t2 would be closer to t3 as they have 85 tick, can check closer...

    Custom colors are actually reserved for the VIP feature. CS:GO unfortunately only has about 12 colors, unlike TF2 with ~4+ Million.
    Also, does Horizon have a custom timer plugin or also Zipcore's?

    A way to delete checkpoints and to teleport to a certain one instead of your latest one.

    Also, like it was on the US servers, so you can see the start and end zones, would be really nice to have.

    First one would require a change to the plugin. Not many people are using it, so it's low priority atm.
    Latter one, not going to happen - the server crashed a lot with them enabled, as it ran out of entities constantly.

    You can thank Valve for only allowing a few hundred entities for maps/mods and eating the rest up itself.

    You can already kinda do this with the !cp command. At least with this you do not have to teleport to your latest checkpoint, but can move back if you made a bad checkpoint.

    This might be way way to big to do or might even be impossible I dont know... But seeing as this server might not be the most competetive and more for fun, would it be able to change it to 85 tick?

    I dont have any idea what kind of work this would take, just something I've been thinking about. It would be a change bigger than the gravity one, so the server rankings would probably need another hard reset if this were to happen.

    I dont think this is a very good idea. Some people, me included, really try to surf competitive and 85 tick would ruin that, since most maps are so bad to surf at this tick. Also, there is already Horizon Servers, if someone wanted to have 85 tick, they would just go on horizon, they already got a big 85 tick community.

    Adding to Chewyy's response, we might make a seperate server (not replace the existing one) once we got the 3rd machine ready.

    Possible to make that maybe a 4 - 6 server? or just 3 - 6, especially if it would be 85 tick if that's what you meant. Since people would get a chance to try harder maps without feeling like they are to far behind to actually make it.

    T1 locked? (because half of the people that join the servers have no ability at all, such as me)

    Is it possible that you have 0 points? Because people with 0 points are excluded from all voting rights, to prevent too many shit maps^^.
