Installation:
###################################################################################

1. Unzip the contents of this package into your B3 folder. It will
place the .py file in b3/extplugins and the config file .xml in
your b3/extplugins/conf folder.

2. Open the .xml file with your favorit editor and modify the
levels if you want them different. Do not edit the settingnames
for they will not function under a different name.

3. Open your B3.xml file (in b3/conf) and add the next line in the
<plugins> section of the file:

<plugin name="rotationmanager" priority="12" config="@b3/extplugins/conf/rotationmanager.xml"/>

The numer 12 in this just an example. Make sure it fits your
plugin list.

Download the latest version here: http://ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/bigbrotherbot/plugins/rotationmanager-v1.3.0.zip

Dev. version: http://github.com/xlr8or/b3-plugin-rotationmanager/zipball/master

[xlr8or]

Plugin is now compatible with CoD4

[Lolzumad]

Would there be a way to add a function to this so that it does not repeat a map that's been played in, say, the last hour?

I know that it is partly my fault because I have the same map in two or three rotations, but that is because some maps really are good to play with a small pop or a large pop on your server.  The problem is, we might play crash with 7 people and then get two more on the server which bumps up the plugin to the next map rotaion set...crash is in that one as well and it might get picked even though we just played it two maps ago.  We'd like to be able to make it so this plugin doesn't pick a map that was played within the past "X" amount of time.

COD4, btw.

[xlr8or]

Latest version (1.3.2) should do that already:

Code:

# 1.3.2        : only add maps that have not been added in the last 4 passes, no more double maps

Line 68 in the plugin makes it 4:

Code:

  _hmm = 4                              # HowManyMaps to keep as a maphistory

You may change that at your own risk. Just never make it as big as your shortest rotation (or bigger)

[Lolzumad]

Ah, you are right..never noticed that.  Spent too much time arguing over which maps to put in which rotations, I guess!

Thanks!

[Lolzumad]

I thought maybe I had seen this line before, and then I thought I had an older version....but only version 1.3.0 is up on your repository.

Can I add this line to the .py?

[Bakes]

Try http://xlr8or.snt.utwente.nl/hg/rotationmanager?ca=4a4b24fcc612;type=zip
that's the latest version in the repository

[Lolzumad]

When I upload the new version, I get this error:

File "b3/extplugins/rotationmanager.py", line 246
     for m in self._recentmaps
                                             ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

EDIT:  The ^ symbol is messed up, it should be right under the space after the "s" in "recentmaps"

[Bakes]

add a : after the s.

[Lolzumad]

Thanks, that worked perfect!

In case anyone else is having this problem, you will also have to add another ":" at the end of line 247.

[Bakes]

good to hear

*cough* update it in the repo xlr8or! */cough*

[xlr8or]

got it...

[leonpadi]

I have installed too
Nice plugin, meanwhile i am testing it's random "creativity"
Of course i have to inform you that the current 246-247 lines of rotationmanager.py has...

Code:

            for m in self._recentmaps
              if maplist[c-1] == m

which is mispelled and need to be

Code:

            for m in self._recentmaps:
              if maplist[c-1] == m:

(added : at the end of each line)


Now my idea...
I would like to propose something even better, if it's an easy task.
What if b3 could record which maps and in which gametypes, the hourly-daily even monthly rotation was ?
I mean, an sql table in which the played rotations should be placed ... so the admin knows exactly which maps were played, which times etc...
This could be as fascinating as in some circumstances some Cod4 mods use end map voting, so...administrators could possibly know which maps people love most...

I know...this maybe will be too hard to be true, but i suppose impossible is nothing

[xlr8or]

The repo was already updated. Look for that version here: http://xlr8or.snt.utwente.nl/hg/

Your idea is not impossible, but if you install XLRstats and the webfront you can already see how many rounds have been played in what map... and how many kills were made in it.

Example: http://gs2.snt.utwente.nl/xlr/xlrstats/index.php?func=show&page=5

[leonpadi]

It should be even better if you see timestamps about when played each map in which gametype and so on...
Thanks for reading my req
