Approved Add a motivator to dr_pirate_adventure

[Link]

This map doesn't have a motivator and I believe this is probably the longest map on the deathrun server. Because of this, every round lasts way too long when it isn't a freerun, sometimes only we can only have 3 or 4 rounds per rotation.

It sounds like the map would benefit more from being chopped up and reduced in length, if the author permits it.

The map does have a motivator, but it’s in the form of a time limit and is way too long.

Another reason why skial should add stripper, because you were able to edit maps without decompile them

 

[Antari0]

Totaly agree that on this map should be motivator

I guess the real question is how you (or whoever is in charge of dealing with this sort of stuff) would go about doing this.

Decompile the map easy.

Decompile the map easy.

I know that you aren't too supportive of that method, and neither am I :sweatsmile:

in that case, the time limit can likely be changed without decompiling via. use of a hex-editor. that's how I removed the balloon on vsh_skyhigh 5 years ago

Won't that cause "map differs" errors when people try to play on other servers though? You'll need to make a _skial version and then that requires making them download the map all over again.

only if the map uses the same filename

a small price to pay

+1 I agree. I made an account on this site just to say this map needs a motivator bad. Excessive stalling on this map, often with multiple people. And vote slaying them becomes impossible because if it's 4-5 people stalling, and they all vote no, it becomes impossible to get enough votes.

But what would help even more, and would take less work, is a simple calladmin function to notify an admin of a problem. So it doesn't become a problem with maps in the future.

This already exists, the !report plugin, or manually filing a report yourself

I have one major mapping project I'm working on currently. I'll work on adding a motivator to dr_pirate_adventure as a side project, it shouldn't take that much effort to do

I'm not talking about a report function. I'm talking about a call admin function to fix the problem that is CURRENTLY happening, to avoid spending 10 minutes with stallers on pirate.

Not reporting someone, and then if a certain number of reports come in, maybe an admin will ban the player in the future. That doesn't help when 4-6 people are doing the same thing. It makes more sense to have a call admin, like other servers have, to deal with problems.

@Link Would you happen to have a BSP file for the map? If you could send it to me, I'd appreciate it.

If you add a motivator. Can you make it a fast one like Santa on ice world? Thanks.
