Dear TF2 Players

Our TF2 Server #4 has been changed to a custom map test server. The server will be running a custom map only cycle with 19 maps. You are welcomed to test out the maps anytime and provide feedback on the maps for us. Maps with positive feedback will be included in other servers' map cycle.

Maps will be downloaded automatically upon joining server #4. Alternatively, you can download the map pack here: http://hsp.hk/file/Leet455/custom_map_pack_hsp.hk.rar (missing 1 or 2 maps). Extract the maps into '/steam/steamapps/yoursteamname/team fortress 2/tf/maps/'.


The map cycle:
cp_dustbowl
pl_goldrush
pl_manngrove_rc4
cp_coldfront
pl_upward
koth_namicott_b7a
cp_gorge
pl_thundermountain
pl_frontier_final
cp_desertion_b6
pl_badwater
cp_granary
pl_barnblitz
cp_snakewater_rc3
koth_harvest_final
cp_badlands
pl_hoodoo_final
cp_obscure_final

I think we would try this tug o war style PLR.
plr_snowblind: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=17806

Also, we would put the maps which are used in pugs / matches in the maplist.

This includes:

cp_follower
cp_obscure
cp_gullywash
koth_ashville_rc1

Some players reported cp_obscure_final would not be downloaded from the server.

Added obscure in the download server.

The server is now mixing custom maps and default maps in order to make it more complete and playable, since many custom maps are not that polished and if the server runs all custom maps, it will not be much fun and it's hard to gather enough players to even try the maps.

The map cycle ensures there are at least 1 custom map in any 5 consecutive maps, so the mapchooser plugin voting will list at least 1 custom map in every vote.

Snowblind was insanely bad. Since it is a custom map server, just make it all custom maps as there's just not alot of customs maps servers to begin with. Add the right maps and they'll definitely be people joining

People can't seem to wait half a minute to download the maps. Servers get pretty empty if two or more custom maps are in line. Looking for solutions.

Hi, i'm searching for a new server and new maps could you give me the IP adress of this server please? Thanx.

This article does not apply anymore. We have removed all custom maps server for now because we had a cut in server resource.

I would be more than willing to provide custom maps servers, but until we can provide a fast download of custom maps for a large portion of players, it doesn't seems very feasible.

Right now if I put the maps in Hong Kong, half the players here that come from south east Asia and India will be frustrated for the 10 minutes wait; if I put them in the US, Hong Kong players will be frustrated for the characteristic slow to US connection speed of HK ISPs.
