Race maps on DDNet?

[teini94]

So you want add gores maps to an race server and not to the qhsar gores servers.

Old race mod maps (rocket) - hard for me.
Gores - not easy for me
Solo DDR - easy for me

I think gores maps are not good for a race server.

So we still talk about the race server thing since november 2014... I know it's not easy to make a decision on it, but making a seperate race server without a point system, or a race point system to test it could help. I play teeworlds for very long now and I miss the old times when you had fun to play race maps against others.

Since the discusses come up again ill suggest a points system if the race server will have one. Its the old ranking system of qshar. There is the advantage that the time you finished with and therewith the rank is influencing the global rank together with the amount of maps you finished. I think it fits really good to race. It would be very inbefitting to have a rank system like on ddrace servers.

For each finished map you get the points equal to your /rank position. If you didn't finish the map you get 100 points.
The less points you get - the better you are.

You can see examples on this page http://qshar.com/details.html .
This is very old page, so this is just for example.

Example: you have 3 maps on the server: map1, map2 and map3.
Your rank on map1 is 15, on map2 - 60, on map3 - no rank.
So your total rank will be 15+60+100 = 175 points

Maps -> Points -> Server
not reversed... As far as I remember, there was someone who had to select maps, but dunno who it was / if he did anything (probably not)

I ll like to see maps like run get 50 and similars on ddnet, because a lot of players lost rocket skills!
now rocket maps server are all offline or without players.
I think ddnet can revive this!!

This guys got lazy, other people did many of their tasks and are frustrated, cause these guys are still doing nothing.

You are probably talking about index, aaa and me.
I am curious who did MANY of our tasks.
Its not like we did "nothing", so dont say this ?
I am lazy i know, i am sorry, i can`t do anything until about end of this month (i got 2 lists of map but on another computer.. ^^)
I dont see a big community who wants these servers, so i don`t think, that it is a big problem.
Thanks to everybody who helped with the Server (aaa, index, Sorah).

I don`t know if anybody ever told the community about this plan:
We wanted to start a race server with like 5 maps (like the best ones). If they are liked be the players, we can release more and more. If they are like empty often, we can just add these 5 maps to the solo server and stop the race server.
The Plan was always to give players points for these maps, this is okay, since the maps have a nice quality and challenging gameplay (e.g. run_get50).
I also don`t think, that it would be good to start the race server next to the ddmax server, so yeah lets just wait for some time.

If anybody wants to continue telling me that i am doing nothing, he is almost right (i didnt do nothing ) but it doesn`t motivate me. If somebody wants to play race maps, he can go to race server, so dont tell me that i deny some fun or something like that.

As far as I know Forris helped with collecting maps, and yes, you did something, but you should never stop, because if you leave it for a while, it can happen, that you won't do anything in the future and the project gets stuck. But if i hear, that someone is doing something (doesn't matter how fast/much) i am happy and the project is still going.
So for now, I'm waiting for the server very patiently

Forris annoyed me as hell so he is not on the list
