HL single player portal

[effoR]

Sometimes the map rotation decides to put the HL single player portal as the nextmap. Usually at least once every few hours.

In my opinion I dont like this, since playing through the singleplayer campaign can take up to a few hours. Therefore, I think it should be removed from the rotation.

Also, there are plenty of servers to play the campaign on, I dont think our server really needs it.

Of course, if a player/group of players really want to play on it, they could still RTV to it. But it be nextmapped through the rotation.

Thoughts?

You aren't the only person who has suggested this. I put hl_c00 on some of the servers, since it doesn't require 2 people to play. I have been meaning to replace all the-sp_campaign_portal maps with hl_c00 so a single player can start the map, but didn't do it yet. We can remove from the rotation, but I need to figure out how to make it still available in the rotation. This may take a little time to configure for all the servers. For now, -sp_campaign_portal will be removed from rotation of all the servers. I may still leave hl_c00 on some of the servers' mapcycles, but I will remove them from rotation once I figure out how to still leave it open for map vote. This shouldn't be too hard to do at all. I didn't mean to take this long to address it either. I think these maps are very popular because I see people playing them almost every time, while other maps have far less people interested at times. I don't know why this is, but I do enjoy seeing the traffic that comes in from hl_c00 being in the map cycle. -sp_campaign_portal is definitely a problem, as it requires 2 people to play. I am also considering lowering the percentage of people needed to "rock the vote".

Can we get opfor/blueshift maps on the servers?

I think this depends on whether or not Op4 and Blue come prepackaged with Sven, like HL1. I didn't see anything to that effect in the 5.0 update, though.

I think the players needs to have Op4 and blue to enter the doors. And to play the map, the players need the game packaged too, if you read Steam guides, it shows how to put them. But I recommend not.
