PAX EAST 2017 MAP PACK - Mr_Rippe - 03-08-2017
It's finally here: the PAX EAST 2017 MAP PACK has been added. Before I introduce the maps, I'd like to thank @Fozzy, @MiniMe2001, and @DaKody for all the work they put in testing every map that was suggested. We had roughly 50 to go through and we narrowed the list down to 13 semifinalists. While I may be the "map guy," the Exploit Team (Fozzy & Mini) are the ones who do the hard work while Kody & I are the ones who make the final evaluations. I'd also like to thank @"Dinkleberg >:(" for taking the time to implement this.
With that out of the way, it's time to find out what maps are now on the server.
ttt_chaser_v2 is a claustrophobic map where you run through blue corridors.
ttt_highnoon_a6 is set in the Wild West. Bring the gold bars to the bank vault and the innos win.
ttt_storehouse_b7 is one of the strangest maps I've ever played. It's the inside of a warehouse and it feels both open and closed simultaneously.
ttt_castle_2011_v3_day is an oldie but a goodie. A multi-story castle with a few areas that kill all those who cross it. Prepare to lose a few T rounds to those!
ttt_asylum_v3f is a spooky abandoned asylum in a beautiful mansion.
ttt_dog is the obligatory meme map. It's the best type of garbage map, and issues brought forth by the Exploit Team were given directly to the dev who fixed all of them!
Alongside maps being added, a few maps have been removed as well.
ttt_residentevil2_se and ttt_manorhouse have been removed. Resident Evil 2, while great, was too damn big. Manor House has an elevator which causes a significant number of deaths for no discernable reason (also the elevator shaft can be filled with explosive barrels and props and people can jump on it and overall the map sucks). ttt_asylum_v3f fills the niche these maps occupied while combining the best of them.
ttt_67thway_v14 has been temporarily replaced with ttt_mc_67thway. As voted on by the community, we're going to try out the Minecraft remake of 67thWay_v14 on the server for 2-3 months. At the end of the evaluation period, another poll will be posted where people can vote on which version they want on the server. ttt_mc_67thway is like a 98% faithful recreation of 67thWay_v14.
I'd also like to take this time to point out some of the great work @"A Fish" has been doing in the background. He's constantly working on the mySQL server and finding better ways to process and store all the data. He's finally moved all the uTime data over to mySQL and ported all the bans from the previous system into gBans. Now you can read some of the more iconic bans ever handed out.
What this all amounts to is sv.db, which is like the brainstem of the server, being purged of 150 mB 99% of bullshit. This means that the server will be running significantly smoother going forward. And yes, we've tested all these things thoroughly on a private test server before implementing them. This is being worked on further.
Please post any questions/concerns in this thread! I'll be more than happy to tell you why specific maps were not included and Sugam will definitely be around to answer any questions about the work he's been doing on the backend.

I thought I overruled you and changed it to the "Not actually broken update"

Get me 4 Admins who want the map gone (or 3 Admins & 20 community members besides you and me) and I'll have it pulled.
