Flashback Fridayyy!

Post by Night of the Meme » 23 May 2017, 18:24

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):We would have where on Friday We can Revert to old maps and maybe code if possible so we could give the newbies the experience of the old memes.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It would attract an old population of CM players and also would be a fun side thought to regular matches.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Admins or Apop would get on ( im not sure who can touch the code) and then they can revert to old maps like nomostro and the old Sulaco and if this is too hard you can just leave the code out of it and revert the maps.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Not really it is just something that Apop can do and maybe admins.

The mappers would have to update the maps to be compatible with any new implements. Also, it would be annoying to wait for 5 minutes just for the server to restart and load the new map.
This is how well the CM community understands the actual military.

5 minutes? 5 MINUTES???? you realize you play CM for like 3 hours a round and 5 minutes is like a piece of toast also think of the people waiting 1 hour and 30 minutes for rounds to end and you realize i asked revert the code so no new implements would be in it? beeeeep and if they do have the new code in it they don't have to do it right away they can just do it in the afternoon while people are playing then next round do it Meh but it is your opinion

The reasons why they probably wont or dont do that is because the old maps were abandoned in exchange for a more updated, feature rich map. Thus, overtime the code changes to fit the newer maps while breaking the newer maps in exchange. If the older maps are fixed, I wouldn't mind playing on them. (Haven't ever played on the older maps.)

yeah the old maps may have less features but they have good memories and it would be fun to switch it up every once in a while

There are so many suggestions just like this. You should've just put your input in one of those instead of making a repeat.

When I say 5 minutes I am not complaining that it is a lot of time to wait because it isn't really that much time. I am complaining that it is going to make the experience so much less because of the people that are going to leave the server. On other servers I have played rounds and then the server crashes and it takes almost 10 minutes to fix it and when that happens half the population is still gone 20 minutes into the round. When there is an update on other servers it takes maybe five minutes and 20-30% of the population is gone. I have no idea what would happen on this server because some people would be hyped for it, but just based on the past experiences I wouldn't want to wait the 5 minutes just to play a round with less people than normal.

No thanks, we advance and go on to newer and better things for a reason, the only reason I can see this is so people can revel in nostalgia about how "things were so much better then". Also way too much effort for such little gain.

I am pretty sure we closed all of them. I believe it is just not worth it and unfeasible.

Would be too much effort and give a poor impression to new players who happened to start on one of these rounds.

I'd say that Friday wouldn't be the best idea for this because a lot of people are inundated with work/school during the week and Friday is one of the few days they actually get to play. I'd imagine some people would be miffed if they wanted to play some regular CM and were greeted with "special" rounds every friday.

Waterworld is literally Nostromo except with Water that insta kills you if you step one space away from the edge of the water instead of space.

We have it, the admins just never bother rotating to it, even though the changelog states its good to go (except for escape being buggy, but only scrubs escape).
