Yup - that's 110 maps - I should probably automate it a little more than it is. :v

Geit FYI it still doesn't work with chrome OR internet explorer, I couldn't open it even on other computers.

Certainly works on IE11 and Chrome 37 (though any version of chrome above 30 should work) - It's most likely a very unfortunate local configuration issue if you're experiencing the error on multiple computers.

 

[xzzy]

It's always worked in Chrome for me too.

Just not right now because it seems like the website is inaccessible for some reason.

Out of interest, Geit, how does the sampling system work with the filters that limit the number of deaths to 5000? I ask because all symmetrical maps seem to display a team bias (one side has more killers than the other) when the filter is in place, which disappears when the whole census is included.

If you don't see what I'll mean, I'll stop being lazy and provide pictures.

It's reverse chronological order, so the most recent 5000 kills (which is equivilent to about 2 hours of gameplay on a full server). Team Bias is likely down to one team doing slightly better, I'd imagine

 

[RubbishyUser]

That clears that up. Would it be possible to make it slightly more random, picking throughout the lifetime? Practically, it won't make much of a difference, but from an empirical point of view eliminating any bias is good. It could even reveal maps that are naturally one-sided despite their symmetricality through poor lighting, for example.

Someone asked me for the source yesterday, so you can now find it over at:

https://github.com/Geit/Heatmaps.tf

 

[Geit]

Was bored today and decided to have a play with the data, resulting in this quick functional mockup:

How many deaths is that?

 

[Geit]

How many deaths is that?

100k

 

[Crash]

That is fucking beautiful.

 

[RubbishyUser]

Wow. Please, don't stop working on that. For example, class filters would be a good start, as well as more maps.

 

[fauks]

I love it!

 

[puxorb]

Which map is this?

 

[Idolon]

Which map is this?

Badwater.

 

[YM]

Which map is this?

Hand in your TF2 gun and badge.

 

[takabuschik]

No way that's badwater.
It has tons of extremely narrow passages (hydro?) and some strange round clipped place (hydro too?) that badwater does'nt have.
No idea what it is but it ain't badwater.

EDIT: I got it. It's dustbowl.

 

[Crash]

Hah, Geit changed it. It was totally Badwater before.

 

[RubbishyUser]

Can confirm that it was Badwater and is now Dustbowl. Maybe this is a game and he's gonna put up increasingly difficult to recognise maps until we can't get it.
