  1. Menus updated: Compatible with 2.81.1 and includes menu changes that new patch brings. TM_menu_lite.pk3 Lite version (few legacy servers + discord) TM_menu_full.pk3 Full version (more tabs: rules / sk / forums) Lite version can be used on Main server when it is updated to 2.81.1 Full version could be tested right now on ETL2 2.81.1 to see if ui memory limit issue is fixed in this patch
  2. wonder if u want to test full menu in ETL2? It is running latest patch that has UI memory increased.
  3. i do not know if i have similar issue but my download speed is limited to 1MB/s and this is only happening in ET
  4. After several games and analyze some suggestions and explanation why: 10 min initial time (-2 min) +6 when tank is repaired (+1 min) +4 when bank doors are destroyed (+1min) +2 when both gold crates are secured Total: 22 min (+2 min) + i still think making axis spawn time from 18 to 20 would be good thing in this map for balance. Initial time from 12min to 10min. If axis are dominating this part it is very high chance it will be so in other parts of map too. So end it sooner and those 2 mins can be added to other parts for more balanced games where allies actually advance. Tank to doors + destroying barricades takes 4.30min (around 3min no barricades). Axis effort can also delay tank so it makes sense for this part time bonus to be bigger compared to next. Bank doors destroyed. This part can be done quickly if axis are weak so it is only dependent on axis players. If axis are strong this is where the map will end probably. +2min once gold is secured on truck just to give allies enough time and chance if they manage to deliver gold at last seconds. This is important part as it gives allies motivation to fight till last second.
  5. After lots of Bremen games i think it would be better if this spawn gets disabled after gate. It is too OP in end stage for allies. If axis manage to set up any defense, few allies players spawning in this spawn destroy axis from behind
  6. in desert edition this fence is always open, this change has been made already for the exact same reason
  7. 60sec* This map has script in use that makes flag permanent spawn after it being captured for period of time: https://et.trackbase.net/map/224/ if interested trying it. Axis taking flag back leads to allies victory in many games.
  8. what about adding 2s to axis spawn time to compensate for shorter map length and give allies 2s window before axis swarm makes it into gold crates. Might make last part of map little bit easier for allies
  9. I think this version is best out of all others there are. There is one extra way through mountain which is big help for allies. Axis CP spawn (nr2) felt like it is too good but in reality it does not seem a big threat to allies :D. Axis fuel spawn (nr3) I still think this spawn should be removed as last part of map is huge choke point for allies. It might make things lil more balanced and give allies better chance.
  10. I think Marrakech Streets 2 by Night Final would be better version in server with lot of players https://et.trackbase.net/map/6/ With one tweak: the last barricade into obj room being one time objective and can not be constructed back. Last part can be very hard for allies when it is swarming with axis. I think original v1 of map had it like that. Operation Marrakech (et_mor_pro.bsp) is cutting out one part of map and also limits some ways that are open in marrakech streets 2
  11. Next Legacy patch will bring some changes and updates to vote:
  12. Probably it is it adds more randomness into equation and decreases the chance of map being played you actually want to play. For example if map pool is 3 maps and u can vote 1. You pick map u actually want to play next. If the vote is elimination u eliminate 1 you do not want to play and your chance of playing the map u want to play is 50% based on your vote. All voting that i can think of right now are based on +1 rather than -1. (democratic elections etc). From perspective of voter implying any kind of randomness into system seems against what voting tries to achieve in first place. If u want to increase the diversity of maps just increase the "last played value" which is currently set on 13 if i am right? Setting it too high will result in people giving comments "bad vote list" as they do not see in the list the map they really want to play. Bugged vote system was perfect example of maps playing over and over too much. It resulted in lot of comments about "didnt we play it 3 maps ago?". To increase diversity, best option is to just increase "last played value". Safest option would be to gradually increase it by 1 over period of time( month, 3 months etc). Impossible to satisfy everyone,. Form server perspective to follow what majority wants seems reasonable and safest thing to do unless admins decide to lean towards either opposite of preference, which is not wrong as well. (Extreme examples of the ends of spectrum: every 3th map Supply Depot or 100 map rotation). CONCLUSION: in perfect world EVERY single person would participate in vote and that would always be choice of majority at given point of time. The problem is the participation is never 100%, the lower it is the smaller is the accuracy of the result.
  13. Currently maps do not have correct last played values which makes them reappear in the voting list much sooner than they should. Been like this for a while. Playing special delivery every 3th or 4th map can get little bit boring? What about map rotation until this is fixed? Seems better solution compared to how it is right now. I put together an example list of somewhat most played maps on the server in somewhat mixed order depending on map size and difficulty that could be used as rotation. 1. Gold Rush [Greater Access] final 2. etl_adlernest 3. Pirates final 4. ET Beach Invasion final 5. Fueldump Desert fixed 6. erdenberg_t2 7. etl_warbell 8. decay_b7 9. SW Battery final 10. Bremen final 11. etl_frostbite 12. Praetoria-Mission Two: Hell on Wheels 13. SW Siwa Oasis TE beta3 14. etl_sp_delivery 15. Braundorf final 16. Venice final 17. Würzburg Radar official 18. etl_supply 19. Caen 2 final 20. Library beta3 Just let it be how it is now or use rotation till map vote bug is resolved?
  14. i like the 20min total length. Goldrush ends up too many times in long boring gold defense. If it will be too much in favor of axis, always possible to make minor spawn time adjustments
  15. To increase awareness of ETL2 and to make integration between servers easier here is quick alt version of menu with minimal UI elements most likely not causing any UI problems on any system. Could run this until next Legacy patch that will give enough UI power to use full menu with all its options. It has only 2 options to connect ETL main or ETL 2 server Download link: _TMserversalt.pk3
  16. Perhaps add Raw Castle into list too, Not sure wich is better normal or TE edition. Should be fine map for less players
  17. Here is a recommendation to remove allies first spawn after wall is destroyed to give better access for axis, so lower part of map can be used to take better defensive positions. Imo this spawn is way too good for allies at the last stage of map
  18. might be working sudden death ? Github: https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/issues/1498 Lua: https://gist.github.com/x0rnn/84b2bfe0766bff7125037305f8a1883d
  19. https://et.trackbase.net/map/8636/ Allied Objective: (Objective similar to Goldrush) Steal fuel for the tank Destroy gate with tank Steal 2 gold crates Escort truck Anyone played this map? Any issues or major choke points?
  20. What about destroyable truck? Worth a try? Truck getting out of garage area is pretty much game over for axis. If the truck would be destroyable this would give axis more chance to delay truck and axis barricades might make more sense and have better chance to fulfill their purpose. Also this will keep allies engineers with a important job till end of the map. Might make the end harder for allies? Right now it is the easiest part of the map. Bremen being popular map why not extend the duration of map this way? It feels like truck being destroyable has more gameplay elements to offer.
  21. Operation Marrakech has different objective compared to Marrakech Streets 2 https://et.trackbase.net/map/203/ (Red circle on map is new main objective location) Worth a try? might be better version of the map?
