Potato Paradise. Made a xoylent duel insta server. You are welcome! - wannawin - 02-06-2016

I just made Potato Paradise a duel server exclusive for xoylent which I think is the best insta map.

I was inspired from this video: https://youtu.be/F2Pk8w7gJcA

I would like to have the movement ability like he has. I think that this kind of gameplay is what makes xonotic unique. And what I very like about it.

I have always have the best plays in duel mode, and this is by far my favorite map, and I think it is hard to get bored on it. So I don't think that a server dedicated to just one map would be a problem. It is like when some player in cs:go always want to be play on dust2.

Just very simple stuffs like the insta only, one good map only, and in duel. I think that this is perfect for someone who want to be better in that kind of playing.

I am planning to add some good music to it. Maybe a little editing in the map, just to fix some little things.

Later I am planning to test my video recording abilities. There are very few quality video on youtube about the insta mode. It deserves some.

What do you think?

Well, here's few points to consider:

- Xoylent isn't comparable to dust2 at how popular it is compared to other maps. Hub3aeroq3a_nex_r4 and farewell are being played a way more.
- Xoylent is one of the worst maps performance wise, high brush count and low FPS. (Some people play with potato computers, so your server would not really be a potato paradise).
- If people play in your server and they want to change the map, they have to switch server.
- If you play a game on Xoylent and want to play it again, all you gotta do is write vcall restart to console before the vote screen runs out of time. If you're on a Xoylent marathon with a friend, you can easily do this on any server that has Xoylent on it.
- Oh and indeed, Xoylent is already available almost on every server.

Pardon for not answering sooner.

- I wasn't say that it is comparable in popularity.
- I wasn't meant to optimize it for low end pc, the potato in the title means it is that amazing as a potato. Because potatoes are awesome.
- It is without question. That is applying anything what dedicates itself for one particular thing.
- I do not want to call any vote, I just would like to play Xoylent again and again until I get bored of it.
- And on this server too.

I do not see anything that would be against my original intent.

Until now I was just playing with a bot on my own computer, but now I do not have to do the setting every time I want to play, namely set 1 bot, set it to godlike, set instagib, set hook, set xoylent. And when I am playing, now I have a chance that someone will join. It is pure winning for me in this form now.

Good to be commented from such a great player. Smile

Now that I call convincing reasoning.

Just make a exec file.... or an autoexec and true it is one of the worst maps can't compare it to dust2

It seems you doesn't like when somebody want to do the things in his own way. Smile

Halogene, I do not want to convince you or anybody else here.

Beagle, STILL wasn't compare xoylent to dust2, and if it is one of the worst maps for you problaly you preferer a different gaming style. And not really think the exec file would be better.

Who doesn't like when somebody wants to do things in his own way? I think (whether or not you were aiming at convincing anyone) your explanation of why you set up the server that way shows a splendid approach on the goal you wanted to achieve. I kike that. There was no irony involved in my previous post.

Well I don't know about these other jackasses, but I'm just trying to convince you that you might be doing it the hard way.
