You know when you go into the DLDB to dl some maps, it has on the left something saying Random map.

well, for me, its not very random at all.

the most common selections are:
K&K1
Incubus inc. RPG
Megaman bound
Invasion Earth RPG
Total Conquest Terran Campaign (2)

- and about 5-6 more that i kant remember.

but those most common are constantly there...

Why is this happening?

Seems pretty random to me.

Yeah I get different maps every time In fact, as I now go through the pages of the DLDB, I have yet to see any of the maps listed above.

I do seem to see those maps more than the other but you still see many different maps. Just keep refreshing and see how many times those maps come out, out of other maps. (If you really want to conduct and experiment)

It only picks a random map out of the first 40 submissions.

*checks*

Yup still like that.

I remember I said something about this a long time ago but you never thought there was a problem. But apparently it still is a problem.

In v5, I'll use my own randomization code... so dont worry about it for now.

QUOTE
srand( microtime() * 1000000);
$number = rand(1, $num);
$num = NUMBER OF FILES
$int = ANOTHER GENERATED NUMBER I DUNNO HOW YOU GET THIS smile.gif

while(UH...)
do(
if($num == $int)
{
echo("Blah blah, this is file number ".$num);
}
)


Something like that'll work. I'm sure it does that anyways. So it most likley is random but you got lucky and keep seeing those maps. I bet it isn't a bug.
(And I have no clue on how to do do-while loops wink.gif)

Actually, its a bit more complex than that. It doesn't randomize through wavs or programs.

i just hope your randomization code works >.<
