    All,

    Just installed on All maps 1 & 2 & payload the latest gscramble. Has been rewritten by the author in big parts + added functions.. It should scramble people based on rank in hlstats, which i think would be better then just random.

    I've heard 1 issue before, but that was before this update. Since there is only 1 way to find out if something is working correctly i would ask you guys to report back any strange things or if for some odd reason it start to scramble when its not needed then tell me too.

    As far as i know it should send out a message if its going to scramble, just make sure you copy & paste that text here if its wrong because it should say why it scrambled (quick win, too many dominations on other team, too many point difference etc etc etc)

    Thanks in advance guys/girls.

    There were a few "unfortunate" scrambles yesterday where me , bucket and darktrip were steamrolling. A scramble was enforced after we took a point in less than 40 seconds and we still ended up in same team. Perhaps there's something in gscramble to prevent winners to end up in same team as an override to the rank based?

    haha, if we went with skill and the non-regular BBQers decide to join we'll most likely end up in same team. But I've noticed more fair combat and less steamrolls since. So far so good.

    Souljah, there's been wierd lags both before and after. Pretty much after each update its worse and then it mellow out.

    However this scramble have made some awsome teams lately and heck, we had a session on hydro yday that was so even after the scramble I want to cry. Same thing when we got to fastlane, pretty much a koth point in the middle.

    the lags was because of a database problem so the major lagspikes should be fixed

    indeed, and some other hickups becuase i decided to make a backup of some files and forgot that copying with 30mb/s on the machine locally could actually impact performance.. :) but that was only for 20 minutes..

    so far all seems ok on this end, i have not heard any complaints anymore after the database fix. (except for the winers, that have lag everytime except everybody else on the servers)
