    It scrambles teams when they are balanced making they unbalanced then. i've also been it make the teams uneven and by that i mean 10v14 etc.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    Please provide some more information like on which server(s) it occurs.
    Might be a conflict with another plugin or the scramble stuff from Valve.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    That would be very strange. We're running two different Scramble settings on Payload and AM2. I've personally redone the AM2 scramble cfg. In there I've made sure it scrambled based on score in the server. So #1 scorer goes to team A, number two goes to team B, number three goes to team A again. At least that's what supposed to happen.

    Please be absolutely certain that there problems occurred on AM2.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    I've been playing all my games on there recently but have still not had the need to test it yet, which is just typical. Played 1 game on AM 1 and BAM, had to scramble...

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    it's a same ol' same ol' problem :(
    like most people will allmost certain tell you, "there is no I in team" most of the times it's just comes down to simple wrong classes on the wrong map (or a lack of) F.E. 2 snipers and 2 spy's on granary... will bet my ass here that they will lose :lol:
    if the other teams are atacking on payload with 3 heavy's and you have shitty huntsman snipers and 2 idiot spy's well your screwed right of the bat... these things can never be fixed by a plugin. so most of the times it's just bad luck

    It's the auto scrambler that causes this.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    Now its even worse than before. I was playing on AM1 and it didnt even scramble when it was spose to. There was enough votes for a scramble and the announcer said "teams are being scrambled" but nothing happened.

    Also the auto balance plugin seems to be broke it never works anymore.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    I'm looking at it again, and to my surprise, completely NO changes were made to the auto-scrambler. So that one is exactly the same as it was before the new version got on AM1 and 2.

    Furthermore, I've tweaked some extra settings, please go and check whether it works or not.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    I'm not really pleased by the scamble either... It scrambles way too much and mostly it just makes it worse. Right now I'd rather have no scramble at all.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    Today I got switched right at the end of the setup time, while I was alive... Not really great either. But at least teams were balanced after that scramble !

    edit : yeah sorry, I forgot to say : it was on AM2, the map was pl_frontier.

    As I said, right at the moment the setup time ended, I got switched from Red to Blu. I was alive, but it killed me and switched me...

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    So the auto-scrambler is too trigger happy?

    Please be very precise with the information. Say exactly what happens, and what is wrong with it. Only then I can try to fix it.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    It scrambles way too much yes. And most of the time it's unnecessary or/and it makes it worse.

    IMO: remove auto scramble completely, only keep vote scramble.

    Yes the auto scrambler is too trigger happy, it useally does more bad than good i.e making the teams unbalanced when they were balanced resulting in a steamroll. Like luck said its needs to be fixed or removed.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    the votescramble alone doesn't cut it imho. usually when the teams are really unbalanced there's only about one or two people in the losing team who actually know about the votescramble, and in the winning team nobody can be arsed to use it. so the steamroll simply continues with no scramble ever happening because only about 4 people vote for it, usually leading to the losing team leaving the server in droves.

    so autoscramble is really necessary, just needs to be tweaked till it does what we want.

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    I get bored after two round of steamroll and I usually do want to help the loosing team. What frustrates me the most though is that the rolling team get all the new people to join. I'd rather see they go the loosing one. That'll balance the teams out for the upcoming round.

    And I do not have access to the command !scramble, scramble or votescramble?

    Re: Scramble plugin sucks

    I've changed in such a way that instead of an auto-scramble occurs, and auto-scramble-vote will occur.

    If the plugin feels the teams are unbalanced a vote will be ran automatically, leaving the power with the people. If the people appear to be very unreasonable or stupid and this does not work, tell me.
