Server Improvements

anonymousity · Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:14 pm Post subject: Server Improvements

Ok boys here's the things I'm gonna be working on today and from now on:

1. Replays are first in line. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1873473

Now a lot of it has to do with web hosting so I'll be linking it up to CTP.net for now just to get it to work. We may try to link it to one of our 'free' websites that NFo gave us in the future.

2. Server messages. I still don't have any relevant research on this one. Any help is appreciated!

3. Admin slots. We're set to have the server upgraded by two slots to allow a replay bot if necessary and an admin bot (lol) to sit in place.

4. The egypt fix. I literally have no idea how to do this so I'm saving it for last. 1/8th made us the fix, I just have to figure out how to actually add it to the server.

I'll be plowing on replays today. Post here for any comments, suggestions or tips!

Give admin bot the ability to play, I want to grind his interface into the sand ._.

The fact that ADMINBOT inspires fury that cannot be lain upon him because of his lack of playing is a source of amusement for him

Replay is key

I play on a Dustbowl server (or at least I do when I play actively) that has a admin slot bot... it actually attempts to play and is a source of running amusement, placing sentries in the middle of the open, running around taunting people it kills as a scout, etc.

It's named Brutus Very Happy

If I may suggest a random crit vote plug in. https://forums.alliedmods.net/archive/index.php/t-163733.html Basically it asks the players if they want random crits or not at the beginning of the round and changes the settings according to the highest voted choice.

Same T_T it sucks knowing you lost a fight due to bad luck.

While admittedly I hate random crits I kind of also feel it should be pointed out what they do for the newer players. In some cases we'll have really stacked teams or there was a point where we had someone from ESEA-I and in those cases random crits are what let the weaker players actually get kills.

My problem with getting rid of random crits is that it hoses melee weapons, since they have a far higher chance to crit. Really medics are the only class that LOATHES random crits, since they almost never get them (on account of doing very little damage) and they die from random bs crit rockets like its their job
