It seems that it pulls all this information from the ck_zones table. I suspect that in this table there are old player completion records on maps that are no longer available in the current map cycle list. I think that these old records affect everyones unfinished map results. Could someone take a look and see if this is the case? If so, maybe write a query to remove the old records or modify code to ignore printing maps not in map cycle?

Additional Information:

Also, I little something on what I've been working on / thinking of adding that could encourage people to play are custom tags for top 10 players, and custom level icons based on your server skill group. Also, looking at any qol changes or new maps for the server. Again, please give your honestly opinion on the server!

I know there has been an issue with lag for a few years now, particularly when players connect/disconnect there is sometimes a brief lag spike. On top of that I have noticed a new source of lag. In the time between when players lose connection with the server and being kicked for timeout, I have experienced constant lag that spans minutes long making surf somewhat unplayable. After the players are kicked for lost connection timeout I seem to no longer lag. I'm not sure if this is only a me problem but it has happened to me twice so far.

I don't know what you guys have looked at over the years to attempt to fix this issue but I'm going to throw a wild guess and say that the connecting and disconnecting lag could be related to player model loading since it is client side lag. Not sure how difficult it would be, but a way to help deduce the issue could be to add something similar to http tracing to help find the connect/disconnect issue.

After holding the poll last month to gauge some opinions the majority of you all voted to readd Tier 3 to the server, so that's exactly what I did!

As you are reading this Tier 3 has been put live into the server!

The way we set this up was to only allow Tier 3 to be nominated/ voted for when the player count is equal to or less then 8. We felt like this would be a good number as if anyone is ever on the server themselves or with friends they may play any of the maps offered. However, if we begin to gain a big population switching to a more difficult tier map may cause players to leave as not everyone is able to complete the more difficult tiers. So to keep it fair we set a reasonable number for the current state of the server. As we grow further we may certainly revisit this number and make any appropriate changes.

Now the exciting part!

Here are the maps that we have added to Tier 3 at this moment. We will be adding more Tier 3 maps as time passes, but these are some great ones to start with Right Now!

Tier 3 Maps

surf_kitsune2_go (T3 12S)

surf_midsommar (T3 3S)

surf_sirius (T3 L)

surf_adventure_easy (T3 L)

As usual if anyone has any maps they would like to add to Tier 3 or the server in general let me know!

Wanted to reach out to gauge your opinions on something we've been thinking about re-adding to the surf server!

As the title suggests we've had the idea of reading a higher tier of surf maps. The thought behind this is because tier 3 surf can still be classified as an average to intermediate skill of surf. Along with this having higher tiers may bring more players who are a little more experienced and may help with retention of these players and our more experienced regulars as we would be opening our map pool up further and adding some additional challenges.

Of course this wouldn't be done all at once. It would be phased into the server over a period of time as we are currently removing unused maps to lower the size of the surf server and increase its download speeds.

We would slowly implement some tier 3 maps probably starting with easy tier 3 maps and adding a few as they are requested or found.

Before doing anything I wanted to reach out to see if this would even be something the community and surfers would find interesting. And feel free to leave any tier 3 recommendations below!

Make sure to leave your Vote! And leave your opinions below!

Surf Road Map

• Current Road Map:
  • Go through all current Surf Maps, see what maps are disliked/ under played or perform poorly within the server and adjust it as necessary.
  • Continue to add new popular/ classic maps as they are released or suggested.
  • Working through fixing zoning on any issue map. (Example Whiteout Bonus stage zoning is non-existent) Please let me know if you spot any issue spot with zoning by posting on the Surf sub-forum and the team will look into it as soon as possible.
  • Reviewing our Surf Timer Plugin and others to see what best fits our needs and confirm we are using our current timer to the best of our ability.
  • Continue to Test New Maps to have them added to the main server.
  • Surf Timed Event
  • Rank Color Changes
  • Reviewing the server as a whole to lower size where we can, which in cases may help with any slower download times, etc...
  • Working with the Expansion Committee to bring more regular users and new Users to the Surf Server. Whether this be through affiliations or events. 

This is currently what I have mapped out on the Road Map for improving overall quality of life on the server. Along with this there are some secret projects in the works. As these progress/ move forward I will periodically release posts to gauge interest and see where we go from there.

This is my current thought process for the server and any potential cool new implementations we could be using/ utilizing. As Ideas come I will update this post to reflect any changes to the Road Map. But I wanted to put this out to the community to gauge some opinions and rack your brains to see if there are any additional ideas you all would like to see. 

This is an open post so feel free to critique and drop some ideas of what you would like to see. 

As I move forward with any additional events or changes such as adding back Tier 3, expect to see a post on this to gauge more thought on it.

Today, thanks to the help of @Nishok , due to the changing tick rate and other reasons, we have reset all of the surf server's map times, meaning all of the records and PBs everybody had is gone!!
 

NOW, Everybody hop on Surf and go crazy! here's an extra bonus :

From October 16th till November 1st, Whoever can claim #1 on the In-game Normal leaderboard of Surf will receive this a special reward:
(Leaderboard can be viewed by typing /top In-game)

Good luck, and have fun!!!

- cement bonus 5 has no end zone

- cement bonus 4 end zone extends beyond the end platform (so it can be completed without landing on the platform) --- I tested this and can't seem to replicate it. Are you sure it's B4? - Dreamz

- cement has 7 bonuses, so 2 of them are not zoned --- One of them doesn't work correctly so I placed a teleporter back to spawn in front of the warp - Dreamz

- adventure_easy is currently a tier 2 map but it should be at least tier 4 --- It is set to T2 in the map cycle but it is a Tier 4 on the server. I need to work on the UMC and make sure all the map tiers and descriptions line up. - Dreamz

- summit has 2 unzoned bonuses

- whiteout has a stage 7 start zone at the beginning of stage 2, theres only 6 stages. --- Still trying to figure this one out. Gonna disable this map for a while until I can figure it out. - Dreamz

- the nomination list seems to disappear really fast regardless of how long its set to stay up for, so if it could just stay open until the player closes it themselves i think thatd work better

- 25_lighters is currently a tier 3 map but it should be a tier 4

- missing map error for surf_axil --- I think this may be an issue on your end. The server has the .bsp and the .nav uploaded. Go to your maps folder in your CSGO directory and delete surf_axil, if it's there and then it should redownload next time you play it.
