Hello kreedzers, we have two important news besides release with checkpoints.
Online cup
Firstly since most of us are at home now, it's a good opportunity for online cup. But now it will be a bit different.
All participants play at the same time 5 maps in a row. Scheme is new, there will be a separate plugin for it, so this time cup will be conducted in test mode,
without prizes (if we see enough activity, such cups might be regular in future, but with prizes given after summing the results of a few cups).
Calculating Points will be easy cause we are going to use a clean copy of our database, hence there will be same rating and top15, but with no records and Points at the beginning. Just as on main servers you will be able to check top15 on the map (
/pro15 in chat) or the whole rating (
/rating in chat).
Now about the process of map passing. Let's say we play on
kzls_bhop_china. We set maximum time of 6 minutes. All players who finished before 6 minutes passed, get in the top15 with their times. For all others plugin will determine how much they moved from start with help of special invisible checkpoints, which we set on map before cup. For example, if I run through
25 of 30 checkpoints, than after 6 minutes after start server will count my time as
6 * 60 + (30 - 25) * 10 seconds. In other words the less checkpoints I passed, the slower my time would be in top15.
Note that with such scheme if you fall at the beginning of the map, your checkpoints progress won't disappear. Of course this fall still would be dramatic but won't break motivation of player too much.
Date and time:
April, 5 (Sunday), 19:00 by Moscow time (UTC+3)
Maps:
bhop_cave2
kz_darkmine
kzls_bhop_china
kz_xj_mountez
kzcn_hop
Slots: 28 (in future if we have more participants we will divide them in two groups and conduct two cups).

Servers relocation
Our main three servers (Hard, Average and Extreme) were moved to another hoster. It means their IPs changed, moreover domain names that you can see at the right section of site, were changed as well:
cs0.kz-rush.ru:27015
cs1.kz-rush.ru:27016
cs2.kz-rush.ru:27017
Yes, for those who didn't know you can use domain names for
connect, at that it's better to added them in favorits instead of regular IPs cause if we move again in future, these names will stay the same. Talking about old servers, they will continue their work for about 2 weeks, and soon I will block movement their and show MOTD with new server address.

@All about maximum time on map, I think it's still should be different, but predefined right at the announcing news. I'll try to include this info in cup config, so I won't forget to change it before some map.
