Autocup Server released

By faker mapper·
Hey there,

it's time to announce a brand new feature on XJ, that got implemented at XJ recently and was developed by spr1n: An Autocup Server running automated cups 24/7!

Join the server: XTREME-JUMPS SERVER #2 - CS 1.6 Autocup Server

Please note that this is just the mapcycle to start with and that more maps are going to be added in the future, if you enjoy this feature as much as we do. The autocup system has been running on kz-baltic.eu and earlier on kz.ee successfully since 2009, so it is not totally new and you can expect it to run without severe bugs or problems.

The Autocup system:
- A minimum of 4 players is needed to start an Autocup
- After 4 players join the cup - there are 50 seconds steady time to wait for more players
- Once the match is starting there are 10 seconds countdown & freezetime
- 5 minutes timelimit for the running cup (if all players that get points finish the map the autocup does end earlier)
- If a map doesn't have waypoints it is also possible to use it for autocups with a few limitations: Only the jumpers who finish the maps get their points, positions in between the start and stop button can't be counted
- Map gets extended automatically when an Autocup is starting, if there there is no enough time to finish it in time.
- Checkpoints, hook etc are disabled for players in the Autocup of course, from the moment the countdown begins till the autocup ends or the particular player finishes the map.

Commands:
!cup or /cup - Shows the menu
!add - Adds you to the next cup
!remove - Removes you from the next upcoming cup
!rank/!ranks - Displays your current rank and your current points
!maps - Shows the mapcycle with
!status - Shows the current status
!way (shows 5 waypoints ahaed with beams) (VIP only)

Point distribution:
4man cup:
1st - 4pts / 2nd - 2pts / 3rd - 0pts / 4th - 0pts.
5man cup:
1st - 5pts / 2nd - 3pts / 3rd - 1pts / 4th - 0pts / 5th - 0pts.

Webpages:

Mapcycle

Furthermore the normal kreedz plugin is installed as well, so you can use the server to play the maps normally if there is no cup running - or even whilst a cup is running.

Last but not least I want to say thanks to spr1n again, who generously offered us to use his autocup plugin on XJ (and he also to do modifcations and additions if needed), and xPaw who did some modificaitons to the Kreedz Plugin in order to work together with the autocup plugin.

The mapcycle with maps that have waypoints on it, can be found in the extended newspost.

Bout time... Hope XJ servers can still produce players. Suggest adding ljstats cause most people like them and lj on the ground without even blocks, but hey, atleast they're on the server.

This is it! The right way how to keep KZ world alive. Not a fu*king movie newsposts (of course they are important, don't get me wrong). Perfect way for everyone to enjoy KZing with other players in a competitive way and most importantly - [b]anytime[/b], many thanks to spr1n and xPaw for this!! It is in my interest to reproduce this newspost to our czechoslovakian kreedz community as I want to make sure everyone from our community will know about this opportunity of cups. Hope you don't mind.

great spr1n!

Appreciate you like it guys! Full map climb mode is not available yet, so autocup can be run just on specified maps. Uptade is coming up and after that autocup will be enabled on all maps that have timer buttons, even if there are no preset waypoints. cheers!
