Summary0002002: Allow map rotation to have associated player counts to select when choosing.
DescriptionOne of the problems with FNF is when a massive map is picked, or too small of a map is picked when there's a high amount of players. Therefore I was thinking of having an optional set in range of 0 .. MAXPLAYERS.

For example, you'd see something like:
Map, low, high:
MAP01, 0, 16
MAP02, 4, 32
MAP03, 16, 64

By default, if none are specified, it'd default to 0 and 64.

Details of how it'd work:
- If there's not enough players, it will randomly choose from what is available. If there is not enough players, it will pick the lowest indexed map (or randomize between multiple lowest index maps).
- If there's more people than the limit, it will pick the limit with the highest number of players. This is quite similar to the above.


Is this an idea we could pursue? Looking for feedback/review before continuing.

MAPINFO additions are a poor alternative, requiring patchwads made for literally all wads pre-addition of MAPINFO flags.

This however, is an excellent idea.

3.1 adds two optional parameters to "addmap" and "insertmap", for specifying the min and/or max players required to enter a map. If there's too few or too many players to enter any of the maps in the rotation, then it will choose the map which has the lowest min or highest max respectively.

Testing complete.

Windows 10 (1903 Build)
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (Drivers 26.21.14.4112 - 2019-10-24)
Zandronum 3.1-alpha 64-bit (210801-2044)

1. zandronum -host -iwad doom2.wad +sv_updatemaster 0 +sv_maprotation 0 +addmap MAP02 0 2 +addmap MAP12 0 2 +addmap MAP22 2 4 +insertmap MAP16 2 1 6 +insertmap MAP17 1 3 6 +insertmap MAP18 0 0 6 (success: starts at MAP17, ignoring playercount.)
2. zandronum -iwad doom2.wad -connect localhost
3. nextmap (success: Begins new playercount-based rotation order, starting at MAP02)
4. nextmap (success: MAP12)
5. nextmap (success: MAP18)
6. join in-game
7. nextmap (success: MAP02's nextmap is now MAP03.)
8. insertmap MAP03 3 0 2 (success: MAP02's nextmap is now MAP03.)
9. nextmap (success: MAP03's nextmap is now MAP16.)
9. spectate
10. nextmap (success: MAP03's nextmap is now MAP12.)

With random map rotation:

1. zandronum -host -iwad doom2.wad +sv_updatemaster 0 +sv_maprotation 1 +addmap MAP02 0 2 +addmap MAP12 0 2 +addmap MAP22 2 4 +insertmap MAP16 2 1 6 +insertmap MAP17 1 3 6 +insertmap MAP18 0 0 6 (success: starts at a random map, ignoring playercount.)

With config:

1. SERVER.CFG:
sv_broadcast 0
sv_randommaprotation true
clearmaplist // (OPTIONAL)
addmap MAP02 0 2
addmap MAP12 0 2
addmap MAP22 2 4
insertmap MAP16 2 1 6
insertmap MAP17 1 3 6
insertmap MAP18 0 0 6

2. zandronum -host +exec SERVER.CFG -iwad doom2.wad (success: Same behavior as above.)
