As another alternative, WSL is very well implemented if available. I was kinda shocked but now I can easily run even linux gui applications on my surface. Not sure about anything on a windows "server" though.

Re: Map lists
I might be mistaken but I don't believe we have that kind of access to the server. It's a game hosting provider, so they manage the server and install the game. We can update the game config and install more game content, but we never get actual access to the machine like that to run scripts or scheduled tasks.
What we could do is setup a different machine we do have access to (even our local machine) and update the server config remotely. it would be a lot of work to setup and I don't believe many of our players even want map lists, so it will probably never happen anyway. I'm ok with this topic dying. I created this topic because I want to play on the server more, but do not want to play the same 5 maps every night. I know I'm not the only one, but it's hard to keep everyone happy.

Re: Map lists
Map Rotation is at 15 which helps. There's been some griping that the power 6 maps aren't always available but too bad. Plenty of other maps to play.I created this topic because I want to play on the server more, but do not want to play the same 5 maps every night. I know I'm not the only one, but it's hard to keep everyone happy.
And don't forget admin's choice. It seems most don't mind it -- I know I don't I love the variety.

Re: Map lists
If the rotation is 15, then how did AJ-Randomizer get voted three times tonight? Then top it off with FJ and two Minus.

Our players are playing the same game for 20 years, but the same maps? Do they grab the same vehicles and take the same route every round also? How very sad.

Re: Map lists
Sad indeed. I love the variety, even the map is crappier.. often as I've said before we have good maps(TanksAlot, MagicIsle to name a few) that we just don't play much in favor of OP spamfests which I guess I can blame myself for stuff like MassD and HSH...
Below, AJY must have been admin forced to be played 3 times.... I don't like to force the overplayed ones. I've told folks in game, we have lots of maps vote for something else.
Map Rotation is at 15, so that should be high enough that you shouldn't play same map every night, but we do get some play during the day that moves it faster..
Also, with various versions (JY, Minus) you'll play those maps, albeit some are different, more often. I know SubZero asked to remove one of the JY, but they are some of the most popular maps.... and yes I contributed to it with FJY, which I think plays quite different than either AJY (much OP vehicles), DJY (Missle Tank Rulez!).

Re: Map lists
Yeah I've conceded to the majority. If it's what they desire then so be it. A couple of days ago we had a full server with full specs on block fort (wtf) .It was then when I realized there's no changing them.

PS: For those who are Brady Bunch ignorant, this is a play on Jan bitching about Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! https://youtu.be/ICVXf8Vznec?si=6SFCpKlx_UCFoJqy&t=81 Hmm, zound potential right here.
It was cool to see ForestJunkYard for the first time last evening. I like it. Is it arena randomizer style or does it always have MegaBadgers?
