My City Map - general map-vote-map observations

[Mons*Calpe]

Herm (And all) not sure if I am the only one that gets horrible frame rates on the 'My City' map but its quite horrible. I clocked my frames the other night and I dropped all the way to 2 frames a second! lol bear in mind 25 frames is just barely full motion video. The frame rate command is also a good barometer as it shows a different perspective on client performance....I cant figure out if its my computer / vid card that is choking on this map, or server performance, or if its just a hella buggy map...my thought is that its the later, and that all maps with the fast moving sky graphic is buggy and messes up any server as it takes far too much processing power to run the sky like that and 20 rockets/deemers, 7-20 clients at the same time. Also is it possible to get rid of the vote system where some maps have a higher value then others? Granted, I have taken advantage by waiting for the last second to vote a map I like with a high value to avoid playing another map,...but also some of the new players have no idea on which maps to vote and end up voting some dog like sniper town or something that has a high value and thus wins, the server empties and no one is happy including the fool that voted the map in question.

Good point. When I get the damn server running again, I'll look into that.

Eh? Some maps have higher "values" than others? What is that, and why?

Yea, the map vote lists the maps in alphabetical order starting from 'A' then ending in 'Z' Zeto is usually the last map where as Agony and Agugu are towards the begining. the first maps (Starting with 'A') only have a value of 1 point. next category of maps have a value of 2, next category is 3 and last category where the 'S' and 'T' and 'Z' maps reside hold a value of 4. So it takes 4 players to vote Agony (Really the best and most popular map on CG) to have the chance to win against 1 player voting a sniper map or a map in the last category
