1.) it looks like you broke /map. You have two nodes with a ` which should not happen.
2.) all you added was the percentage of users. We originally had this, and removed it for two reasons. One, I don't see why it's "useful" (feel free to try to convince me otherwise) and two, people complained about the fact that rounding errors resulted in totals like 99.9% or 100.1%, which there is nothing we can do about.
3.) You have some crazy "allusers" variable, that is calling printf()??? Which further causes problems since Unreal reuses stdout as a client socket. Hence, this could potentially result in that variable being sent to a client each time /map is used.
4.) We generally shy away from changing numerics because it breaks what clients expect.

As I said, feel free to try to convince me I'm wrong, but as of right now, I don't see a reason to add this patch to Unreal.

1) map not broken, example old was used by server n-o-l.bynets.org, new was used by nol.bynets.org.
2) I'm not coder, I simply take from "We originally had this, and removed it for two reasons".
It just suggest.

I agree that percentages are pointless, and can be had from services side. having it in /map is useless! :)

I'm considering removing numerics from /MAP output for non-opers. I wonder why we are even showing this info to normal users, why would they care? Or is there just to confuse them? ;)
Probably the usual story of 'didn't think of hiding it for normal users' I guess.

EDIT: This doesn't have much to do with the patch/suggestedthingy in this bugreport, it just seems the right place to bring such a change up.

yea, I agree. What for to people to see what is not necessary to them?
And this bug you can close.
