Maps Used Within Certain Timeframe

[Woodruff]

Is there a way to determine how many times a map has been used within a certain amount of time? I've been looking at the GameFinder and I don't see a way to do it in that method.

For instance, I was considering starting a tournament using only a certain number of maps that had been used the LEAST within the past year - is there any way for me to figure this out?

Can anyone help me out with this?

I don't think there's any built-in method for this. Your best bet (that I can think of right now), would probably be to pick a cut-off date, find a game number from that date to use as the limit, and then use game finder, one map at a time, counting the games (or pages, might be easier) until you get to the predetermined cut-off.

You could probably get someone to write a script to do this for you.

If so, that would be great. I had to look for the free speed games for Halloween one time and count them...not fun.

That's a good idea. Thanks, Night Strike. Is anyone interested in doing such a thing (or know of someone I could contact who might be)?

I'd post to the Tools/Enhancements Suggestions forum, and see if any one of our usual Community scripters has any interest:

The reply was,

Well.... I doubt it is possible with the current API system or anything so this one is better be placed in suggestions.

You can make a suggestions form if you wish, but I also really would like this implemented as well if possible.
