Adjusting Group Sizes

unt0uch - msg contactus discord — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 14:08:50 +0000

What we can do is change how groups expand to create minimum amount of players the higher groups can have before moving onto creating the next lower group. so for example in a map like ori_l with 134 players, 62 players are eligible for a group (134 - top10) / 2.

The current way of calculating groups by % without minimums yields group sizes:
G1: 1
G2: 2
G3: 4
G4: 8
G5: 16
G6: 31

For a total of 62 players

If we use minimums our group sizes look like:
G1: 10
G2: 15
G3: 25
G4: 12

For a total of 62 players, and we only have 4 groups.

This is good because for such low amount of completions, it is unnecessary to have 6 groups, and the groups that remain are the higher tiered groups which give more points. This results in the map giving a total of 5316 points via groups to all 62 players combined, instead of 1256 points that it used to give combined.

After the minimums are reached, the groups continue to expand as usual based on % up to 50% of the players.

These are the minimums g8 proposed:

Min. Rank Floor
------------------
1-10 (Top 10)
11-20 (G1) -- 10 Players
21-35 (G2) -- 15 Players
36-60 (G3) -- 25 Players
61-100 (G4) -- 40 Players
101-150 (G5) -- 50 Players
151-225(G6) -- 75 Players

Groups will begin expanding based on % after ~440 completions

These are the minimums retarded proposed:

Min. Rank Floor
------------------
1-10 (Top 10)
11-30 (G1) -- 20 Players
31-60 (G2) -- 30 Players
61-105 (G3) -- 45 Players
106-165 (G4) -- 60 Players
166-245 (G5) -- 80 Players
246-350 (G6) -- 105 Players

Groups will begin expanding based on % after ~690 completions

Please go to discord if you wanna discuss. I want this changed today

Map tier changes!

Sacred — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:59:14 +0000

Hey guys,
the day has come, we are now able to change map tiers (again)!

I already changed a few that came to my mind (CSS & CSGO):

surf_acp_fix (t3)
surf_sandman_v2 (t4)
surf_trihard (t4)
surf_beginner_hell (t4)
surf_sippysip (t4)
surf_guitar_hi (t2)
surf_duggywuggy (t2)
surf_coralis_ksf (t3)

If there are more maps that need a change, let me know here or on discord. I know it's subjective, so you might as well discuss this on discord and then post the result here.

surf_and_destroy fixed & map changes

Sacred — Fri, 23 Jun 2017 10:18:37 +0000

surf_and_destroy_fix replaced the broken surf_and_destroy and should work again! Please tell me if you encounter any problems on the map.

EDIT: Might be that the zones are different now, as I remade them - the WR and WRB #1 might be impossible due to that.

surf_kz_mix_journeys
- cheats are now enabled

surf_liberation2
- filtered boost on stage 6, reset WRCP

surf_happyhands
- telehop removed from bonus 2, times reset

surf_year3000
- adjusted startzone, added +.06 to WR and removed top2 from WRCP

Autobhop was added to several maps, as asked for on the forums:
surf_heaven_njv stage 2, surf_boring stage 7, surf_krow10, surf_auroria2 stage 3, surf_81st_network bonus, surf_smaragd s6 (towards end), surf_spaceship_ksf bonus 1 and 2, surf_lab, surf_classics2 stage 7, surf_distraction_v2 bonus, surf_static bonus

Autobhop was NOT added, despite being requested, to surf_psycho stage 6, surf_airflow stage 3 and the beginning of surf_smaragd stage 6, because I don't want to support these in run. Maybe nojump should be added instead?

Map Changes

Sacred — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 14:19:11 +0000

Hey everyone, this announcement is primarily due to the changes on surf_quattro.

surf_meme
- added nobhop to the nyan cats in bonus 1 & reset it

surf_graphia
- changed the boost right before cp1 to match / approximate WR speed (please don't continue if you get a randomly stronger boost)

surf_quattro
- changed stage 1 back to the original path, without having to go through "checkpoint 1" (it's also crossed out in the map)
- made a new start platform for stage 1
- made the boost going upwards at stage 1 stronger & filtered it
- reset stage 1
- made the boosts on stage 2 start stronger & filtered them
- added a flat bhop on top of the slant, was unable to fix the random slant boosts
- reset stage 2
- removed some annoying trigger_teleports on stage 4 (e.g. on top of the "castle wall" after the second ramp)
- increased all map times by 15 seconds

Map Changes

Sacred — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 17:13:30 +0000

surf_forbidden_tomb
-removed spine bhop on stage 1 and reset the stage

surf_ataque_final
-reset stage 4 due to looping back to startzone

surf_ragequit
-remade startzone of stage 4 and reset the stage

surf_cansius
-moved end trigger of stage 2 to avoid bad drops
-remade stage 2+3 starzones
-reset stage 2 WRCP due to spine bhop
-stage 3 now ends directly instead of pushing you back up, WRCP is reset due to new startzone
-indicated with lasers where the boosts in stage 5 are

surf_interceptor
-added solid ground to stage 2 start so you don't randomly bounce back

Map Changes

Sacred — Sun, 28 May 2017 16:31:20 +0000

Some of these changes are from today, some from a few days or even a week ago. Just a summary:

surf_collaboration
- Stage 8 is remade entirely, as the boost on second ramp could easily be exploited and I didn't find a way to fix it. Now there's a new start platform, changing the stage start entirely, and the map times got adjusted by -2 seconds

surf_lessons
- Stages 3, 4, 5 and 7 had their autobhop turned into no-bhop zones
- Stage 6 WRCP was removed due to spine bhop
- Stages 3, 4, 5 and 7 were reset and all map times got increased by 1 second

surf_nyze
- Bonus 1 should work properly now (antigrav part)

surf_exocube
- Stage 2 had nobhop added to the back of the last ramp & WRCP was reset

surf_quattro
- Added maxvel to stage 2 & reset the stage

surf_injection_njv
- Removed lamp bhops from stages 3 and 5 & removed WRCPs

surf_forbidden_tomb3
- Made it impossible to loop the boost in stage 8 & reset the stage

We have finally moved off our old web hosting service, to an upgraded one with a much better platform and support. So all the domain redirects ( surf.ksfclan.com, teamspeak.ksfclan.com ) should be working correctly again, along with our forums page ( ksfclan.com/forum ). If anyone experiences any issues please feel free to let me know!
