| 07:14.53 | macsforme | would someone with knowledge please tell me how mini ducati is different from standard ducati (other than the size) so I can create a proposed addition to the server configuration? |
| 07:46.51 | the_map | otoh, you could just do it and let them fix it later if it's wrong :) |
| 12:56.06 | moriah | macsforme: why arent these questions about maps etc posted in the admin forum? I am the only ruling council here |
| 12:56.22 | moriah | aside from allejo....you get no input from hj or qd |
| 16:26.53 | macsforme | it's more of a question for hosts than league leadership... I believe a few people here have already hosted that particular configuration |
| 16:27.04 | macsforme | but I could try there next if there is still no answer here |
| 17:11.06 | BulletCatcher | You may be asking for a precedent that doesn't exist. |
| 17:11.40 | BulletCatcher | The Ducati League never had an official "mini" map AFAIK. |
| 17:13.27 | BulletCatcher | Saved normal and mini Ducati maps from bzflagisaswesome.com show only the size as an observable difference. |
| 17:15.10 | BulletCatcher | The mini-Pillbox map has the obstacles adjusted to fit the smaller footprint, but no other changes. |
| 17:16.44 | BulletCatcher | I have been thinking that it might be appropriate to reduce the shot lifetime on the smaller maps so bullets travel a proportional distance, but that would changing timing and players probably wouldn't like that. |
| 17:17.15 | BulletCatcher | Bottom line: for mini-Ducati change the world size and nothing else. |
| 18:02.13 | blast007 | you may need to alter the building density setting |
| 18:10.03 | blast007 | so, the -density command line option, and then there's also BZDB vars _avenueSize, _baseSize, _boxBase, _boxHeight, _pyrBase, _pyrHeight, and _wallHeight |
| 18:20.32 | moriah | Duc league did indeed have an official mini duc |
| 20:13.23 | allejo | the official mini duc that I ran for duc was as macsforme said. the only change was world size set to 600. the density was left at 5 |
| 20:30.37 | macsforme | thanks |
| 20:32.13 | allejo | and player limit was limited to 3/team |
| 20:37.27 | macsforme | /mapchange MiniDucati or DucatiMini? |
| 20:40.48 | blast007 | /mapchange IShallCallHimMiniDucati |
| 20:41.08 | allejo | /mapchange Sparticus |
| 20:41.36 | allejo | I like DucatiMini |
| 21:01.58 | macsforme | allejo/BulletCatcher/brad: I pushed an update for the mini ducati map |
| 21:10.50 | allejo | i've updated my servers |
| 21:47.33 | moriah | FTR, I feel strongly that discussions/decisions on LU matters should be done in the @ forum. |
| 21:49.07 | moriah | Mini duc config in duc league was determined by me....with the assistance of allejo....making several changes in size, density till the optimum one was settled on. Not the hosts deciding. |
| 21:49.25 | moriah | The @ forum is accessible to all the leadershiip groups |
