Research direction

Start in src/server/MapPlaylist.ts and inspect get1v1Config(), especially the current map list and compact-map probability. Compare the proposed maps with the available GameMapType values and confirm the intended weighting. Done means the ranked 1v1 configuration includes the agreed maps and updated compact-map chance.

Description

not-approved

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have only 4 different maps for FFA. I am playing it quite a lot and would really like some new ones.

Also, compact maps have only a 20% probability. Could we bump it up a little? It plays differently from normal maps and contributes to diversity.

Reference: in src/server/MapPlaylist.ts:

public get1v1Config(): GameConfig {
    const maps = [
      GameMapType.Australia, // 40%
      GameMapType.Australia,
      GameMapType.Iceland, // 20%
      GameMapType.Asia, // 20%
      GameMapType.EuropeClassic, // 20%
    ];
    const isCompact = Math.random() < 0.2;
   ...
}

Describe the solution you'd like

Could we add (proposal only):

  • The Box (very popular - I think many people would enjoy it in ranked 1v1 as well)
  • Scandinavia
  • France
  • South America
  • Japan
  • ... any other one that you might see fit
