Top 20 Popular Map List

[General Mayhem]

Just a thought for noobs and old timers that come back on to CC.

I got a shock when I came back at how many maps they're are now. Ive no idea which are the most popular/played maps apart from what I know.

Is there anyway a simple count could be done in the background for each map played so a top 10/20 maps could be shown/searched.

Gives satisfaction and reward for the hard work put in by map makers and tells noobs and old timers, and everyone else, whats hot and whats not.

Great idea. Even better might be a counter to show how many games have been played on a map in all time. Or how many games started on a map in the last 30 days. That would help long time resident players know more about which maps are popular, especially new maps.

I like it

[lozzini]

I think it's a good suggestion get it done

also i think someone had there own stats on this... might of been sully?? not sure but that shows it cant be massively hard to do

lozz

Cairnswk used to keep a weekly update as to what maps were most played and what maps were least played. However, he abandoned it after too many other projects took priority. It would be great if someone had the time to keep an update of what is most popular etc.

Seems to me that a simple add on could be made with the new API to meet this need. You could write a program to find the total number of games played on each map and have the list sortable by total games and even different game types. It would also be great if you could limit the search to a certain time period (perhaps the last 6 months or one week) to see which are the most popular current maps.

Cairns' map list was great but required way too much work to maintain. I think this would be some awesome information to have, but it seems to sit on the "script" side instead of the site addition side.

Well, if someone was able to make it, it would be great.

I don't understand what API is but anyone who is more technologically in tune than me could elaborate that would be awesome.

It needs a major update, but I got the top 5 most played maps in the 1st and top 5's cc records

Only reason for that would be if lack don't want/have time to make it a site addition.

Well its mostly a data collection and analysis project which can be done quite easily with a user script. The things a grease monkey script can't do are new game types, and new features of old types, like 2 player team games, Adjacent Attacks, switching private games to public, etc. I think I'd rather see lack put the work into additions that the script writers cannot create themselves

Just because a user script can do the task doesn't mean it should. Sure it can be a stop gap but long term I see no reason for anything to be a user script rather than a site addition.

Out of curiousity, I searched for Feudal War games.

I definitely agree with this. I think some of the scripts we have available are AWESOME, but eventually they really should be incorporated into the site itself.

Terrible idea. Adding a crap ton of Scripts to the site itself will only cause lag spikes and server crashes over time.

[sailorseal]

Great idea!, it would make for great statistics

if someone wrote the script i would be more than happy to update a thread daily (when time permits ofc)

I would definitely look at this all the time.
