Vote-pick track in servers

Post by Ddavis »

Instead of going through the cycle of the tracks, it would be sweet to have a "Vote Pick" to choose the track of your liking. I'm sure this has been mentioned plenty of times, just wondering if it was ever considered, and if not why? I can imagine it could be something where at the end of the moto it lists 5-10 tracks with a number next to it, and people type the number or name of the track they want to play next, and the track with the most votes gets picked.

the only thing else i could add on to that is make sure the maps couldn't be selected over and over, then people would get bored.

With this I would love to see custom track servers return. With actual custom tracks from the community instead of just rF tracks

I suggested a similar thing here, where each person gets to queue a track for example each 10 races raced. It's meant to be similar to the trackmania jukebox thing. Here is my post if anyone is too lazy to open the other topic:
Wahlamt wrote:As of now you have the server,settrack <track#> command, which admins and marshals can run. It's pretty good, except that nobody else can ever choose a track. Depending on what server you're on, there's probably not an admin on, and it'd be nice to play a track that you wanted to play. In trackmania, at least in the better servers you could "jukebox" (queue) tracks. But only 1 track until it got played. If the next tracks order was 4 5 6 7 8 9 and you queued a track, it'd be 15 4 5 6 7 8 9 so it just added the track before. If someone else queued a track it'd be 15 27 4 5 6 7 8 9.

So my idea was:
serverargs: --queue on/off
server,queue <track>

As in trackmania, it'd be good if you couldn't queue the same track within 10 finished tracks after, to prevent the same track over and over again, unless you're a marshal or admin.

To make it balanced for the game, you could only queue 1 track every 5th track you finish until the end.

Would it be possible to add "server,currenttrack" to know what track you're currently playing? It'd be good especially for SX.

Would you guys like to see a possible queue system?
