Duplicate arena maps

[Sifudeer]

I wish for arenas that don't allow the same map in both arenas.   


Thanks

i concur wholeheartedly

I agree also!

me too, and a map for TT (maybe a few for TT only) to end this ozkansas terror.

The maps are put in randomly in each arena and Hi-Tech has no control over that. But I do concur that they should try to fix the problem.


Also if I might put this out on new maps, with the new terrains coming out they might put one in just for the crazy people that like to gv every once in awhile, and disable the planes in that arena.. sounds like it could be fun.

they wrote the software that selects the maps..

its probably 1 or 2 extra lines of code to prevent one arena from using the same map that is already up in the other..

Yeah, we know that. That is exactly the point. They should take control and make a simple change to the software that does not allow the same map to be in both arenas.

i haven't messed with coding since basic was cool , but seems like whatever the modern day equivalent of an IF THEN could be used.
IF OMap = BMap THEN BMap +1

or something. and let the flaming of my programming skills begin lol

A very easy fix would be: Orange - Large maps only. Blue - Small maps only. Orange is the TT arena aynway. Would also reduce the frustration level for players a bit at the time when caps get enabled and they find themselves logging into an arena with only like 40 players spread all over the map. And in the evening , players would have a choice to either play a large or a small map, which some do prefer.

thats far too much like common sense lusche.  Just won't happen

This would be nice thought.

Eh, a bit more, but not by much...
Take C# for example, all they'd have to do (assuming they have it set up so that each map has a random number [let's call it rnd], and when it's time to switch they have it pull that random number) they'd need this...

do
{
map1 != map2;
break;
map1[rnd];
}while[true]

Meaning, if map 1 is not equal to map 2, then break out and go on normally, otherwise, new random. And it will keep running this do while loop until it's "true." So it will do this until map 1 != (not equal) to map 2...
And for the other arena just switch the variables.
