This is a feature request about a brief notice under the map name (i.e. map best played with <5 players) when voting for maps to allow a more informed choice to be made.
Necessary implementation needed for future use: * include a way for the map developers to specify the “range of playability” for every supported gametype in the .pk3 * older maps integration: allow a server to specify/override these vars with some other cvars to be loaded by a common .cfg, to allow server admins to port older maps to this system * edit the wiki about map-making to include the required information in the map packages.
Possible uses of the range information: * A brief notice “map best played with <5 players” under every map name when choosing the next one to play. * Same as above, but depending on the number of players on the server the maps too big or too small are marked in red (still votable though). * In single player mode the same notice is shown. * [so-and-so]: include a way for the server to adapt the map selection based on the range and the number of connected users
The problems arising are: * What if there is still one map with no numbers? A warning when the server is started and the map shows no notice?
