isupreme Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 One idea, and a question. I seem to remember some conversations going around suggesting there might be some things in the works to help servers be fun when there are only a few players. Has anyone heard talk in that direction? My idea. ( probly not original ) Just like how some maps are bigger and built to handle larger player counts... .. Could the servers be set up so that as player count drops, the selection of maps available for play, becomes tailored to the number of players? i.e. smaller # players, smaller maps . I imagine two things needed for this. 1. Maps designed for low population 2. a mechanic to let servers automate the choices. New? Been discussed? Bad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted May 14, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 14, 2018 I am pretty sure these can easily be done with mutators, given some time to create and test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad? ala Battlefield maps? they increase /decrease the map boundaries depending on player count. Yes that's been discussed. I think it was just a matter of logistically it maybe wasn't that easy to implement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking play small maps, Field, Canyon, Snow, etc Maybe increase credit flow as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff roweboat Posted May 14, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted May 14, 2018 I guess the question is, what's easier. Building a new map built around a very small play count? Or to impliment a smaller play space on existing maps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a new map built around a very small play count? Or to impliment a smaller play space on existing maps Either way it requires downloading whole maps again. Adding blockers isn't hard, but having them change based on playercount may cause performance issues, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for kismet, just use special volumes that only allow people to pass based on playercounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
