Is it a good idea for adding custom maps in the server mapcycle? As y'all know,custom maps will be a bad thing for server traffic. Just wanted to know what y'all opinions are.

true, but i think its good to have nonstandard maps also cuz that will attract players who know the game. The people who don't know mutch about the game will indeed not come to servers with custom maps.
I think the gap of visitors can be held small if we use maps that are 1 way or another a little known in the world of sof, and show off!!, we need to show off with the fact that we have an xsmod server, that will attract alot of new people to the server. Just w8 and see, people will come if they see XS in the name of server, its a verry good mod.

What I have in mind is that we make a 25 - 75 % combination. 25% New maps and 75% good old maps we like. In that way we will attract the XSmod lovers in our server without a barrier for downloading new maps everytime. But we will keep some variety by adding new maps. In the mean time we need to advertise our website www.NLOC.tk in the server for the needed downloads. We actually need to advertise our website at all times. But I have to find a way to do that. Back in the days I made a poster where friends and I post it on schools. Within a week we got almost the hole school playing SOFII and played in our first server. For the people who have experience that, knows that the server was well attended. But we need to change our current mapcycle tho... because it definitely suck now! So if anyone have suggestions, then please share GreeTz, *(NL)* *OC Berthy*

75% - 25% idea is good.
And I also wouldn't put the custom maps behind eachother in the cycle. Let a custom map always be followed by a standard map!
When people connect to the server, I would let the message where they can download the custom maps appear + the message to put autodownload off.
Can you put the current mapcycle in here? So we all can make a suggestion which maps should be out or which maps should be in; and also what gametype they should be played. The final desicion is then up 2 you.
