    Hey,

    I thought is it perhaps possible to change map to voodoo_island if no player is on?
    Because it is the map which is played mostly and perhaps it will get people to the server?

    Intresting idea, tbh! Maybe apply that to the surf servers too! (1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 of course)

    So what about my suggestion?
    I often see the server empty with maps on which are not often played. if voodoo would be starting map when not a lot of players are on it would be good to get guys playing.
    I know that it is overplayed a bit but if its starting map, at least it takes some time until you can nominate it again.

    This should come somewhere around next week (n0time included), requires an extra plugin and is not possible (afaik) with the default server software.

    Sorry for the delay, was kinda busy with server move and whatnot.
    Will try to get something working this week.

    Concept: if server is empty for longer than 10 minutes (checked each 30 seconds), change map to a previously defined one (voodoo in this case).
    This is only for ZE as a start.

    There are reports that the plugin is broken, will have to look into fixing it first.

    Actually, the concept of the plugin is kinda broken too - it simply checks every minute if no players are on, creates a timer (e.g. 5 minutes long), then checks again.
    What could happen: one single player joins in the meantime (in those 5 minutes), preventing a mapchange. Guess I will rewrite big parts of it.

    This is now active on ZE, checks every 30 seconds and if the server is empty, changes to voodoo islands.
