Server 3 - NO CRIT - autojoin team

me, tatum and some others think it's great :lol:
i also changed the adds for the scramble plugin to show every 5 minuits maybe that way people will actualy use it. alltough the scramble plugins still needs some fine tuning on AM3 (wich atracts more regs then random players) i for one love it now haha haven't played much games where we steamrolled the other team into last week (or vice versa)

but the !scramble option only needs 40% of the players on the server, so if a team gets steamrolled and no scramble will be asked for, i say it's their own damn fault not to scramble :roll:

also i tweaked the autoscramble a bit, F.E. it will scramble after 6 wins in a row, might have to bring that down a bit, or when avarage player score is higher then 20 it will also start a scramble vote. this needs some more work but the way things are looking now imo the games are pretty fair since the autojoin (and i haven't heard any complaints yet haha think people don't even notice)

 

It's a bit bugged, but yeah it's great.

You should also give all admins the possibility to scramble manually without having to start a vote.

I mean if you accept admins, you are sure that they'll use it wisely, arent you?

 

under server comands lies the gScramble menu if i'm not mistaken

and yeah i know it's bugged haha (don't know if i told this to you or to who but here it is again)

it's just an other of valves half bakes crap cvars haha, same thing with the sudden death and timelimit stuff

 

No, I don't want to join a team that already has plenty of the classes I main, because that means I'll either play a class that's overrepresented or pick one I can't play properly. Both are not credit to team.

 

for some reason i'm playing A LOT of pyro (maybe because i found the detonator hahaha) i'm glad heavy is such a boring class and they realy line up to play it (so i never have to whoehaha) soldier also gets spammed but i still have medic but most of the time that gets screwed over by double healing twats who just want to get on the top of the board :roll:
or if i get realy bored i go pisstube sniper with an extra jar of piss to realy yes you guessed it... anoy people (you tought i was going to say piss people off didn't you) so all in all the only class i DON'T play is heavy (wich let's be honest doesn't require that much skill)

and even the best balanced team can not compete against a full heavy medic combo team with spychecking pyro's on moving dispencer :lol:

like i said AM3 has more regs playing on it then F2P noobs who don't even know english is a language and since i tried using the autojoin thingy (wich was kind of an accident with gScramble config) i have played the best games i played in a long time. but then again people REALY need to start learning the !scramble comand instead of beeing a douche and ragequit

 

oh and i checked it, gScramble menu is in the "server comands" part on the second page.

menu includes starting votes and forcing a balance (10 vs 12) and start a scramble (this DOES NOT restart the round)

if you want to scramble the teams and restart the round that option is ALSO available in the menu on ALL servers (it's a valve comand so it's not related to gscramble)

 

The main problem is winning team joiners. I don't see how autojoin fixes this. In my eyes, this doesn't work.

 

well look out for them (easy to spot, they join, get assigned, go spectate, wait untill other team has a slot, joins winning team...) if i see somebody like that i slay m on sight. i COULD block spectate but that's not a good solution, seeing it completely blocks spectator (yes even afk kicker) it's not the best solution but on AM3 it does the trick. except for the occasional twat who obviosly switches to the other team haha.

will install a teamswap plugin if that goes out of hand.

 

Thrice today BLU team on Goldrush had 9 - 9 players and auto assign goes BLU. BLU was leading 4 - 0. Shortly afterwards when our team was BLU we managed to pick better classes and almost outperformed red, once gain 11 - 11 players and auto assign went RED, score still in opponents favor as we didn't manage to win.

So there you go But yeah, only had an hour playing total.

here you go peeps, give me a balanced config and i will test it... only AM3 (no crit) is running this for our regs
and yes we NEED this input (no wakkid your not beeing an ass hahahahahaa) please help us make it balanced (input = future)

and YES make comands and stuff (hope the topcats won't shoot me down for this) AM3 is not included ub the quickplay for the "no crit cvar" so we can test with regs (wacked you can also private chat me with suggestions you know i always give fair answers hehe) but keep up the comments this way some day we'll make it work (and on a side note thx for the feedback)

 

I see am3 as a server for regulars that prefer a more hardcore and balanced play. As long as nothing breaks down, I am fine with changes..

 

Code:

// If less than this amount of time (in seconds) is left in a round, stop auto-balancing.
// "0" will disable this function
gs_ab_timelimit "10"

Think that could be 20, As people have tended to be autoswapped right at the end due to some ragequit? And you quit just before the end not to give up any free kills.

Code:

// If a teams wins with a frag ratio greater than or equal to this setting, trigger a scramble
// 0 = disables this check
gs_as_hfragratio "3.0"

I am unsure how this is counted, but I've noticed that it is not really helpful, could be because the setting is set up very high. Meaning a team does steamroll but just under the ratio most of the times. Unless its regulars gone pubstomping on a autostacked team, then it changes quite fast. So, explain this one? =D

Code:

// If the average score difference for all players on each team is greater than this, then trigger a scramble.
// 0 = disables this check
gs_as_playerscore_avgdiff "20.0"

Considering its mostly regs playing, this is an average differance that won't happen much. So the ones it ought to count for are new players. Also not quite sure how it works but feels like a high number, guess you tested it?


I've not had a chance to read much further in the config but those I'd love to get some pointers at =D

 

I've been trying to tweak this plugin for ages.

About the fragratio thing. Every kill made by team A is a death for team B. This plugin looks at all the kills and deaths from team A combined and from team B combined. If team A has a k/d of 2.0, that means that Team A has 2x more kills than team B, meaning they are probably steam rolling them.

This is the most interesting thing to configure

Code:

// Player scramble sort mode.
// 1 = Random
// 2 = Player Score
// 3 = Player Score Per Minute.
// 4 = Player Kill-Death Ratios
// 5 = Swap the top players on each team, controlled by gs_top_swaps
// 6 = Use GameME rank
// 7 = Use GameMe Skill
// 8 = Use Global GameMe rank
// 9 = Use Global GameMe skill
// 10 = Use GameMe Session
// 11 = Use HlxCe Rank
// 12 = Use HlxCe Skill
// 13 = Sort by player classes
// 14 = Choose randomly one of the above sort modes.
// This controls how players get swapped during a scramble.
gs_sort_mode "4"

I had set it to scramble on player-score, but someone else changed it to k/d ratio... You guys should decide what's best.

 

indeed haha like kill said we are trying for a long time but i'm not giving up untill we get the damn thing balanced hahahaha :lol:

 

Yeah, I'm just trying to graps it all in a very short timeperiod. Cause I too feel its slowly getting more balanced and the matches now usually end at a standstill capping first unless the team work together =D

 

tbh, the other servers need a scrambler as well.

And I was scout the whole time...

 

the map vote cycle on AM 3 needs changing.




Plus there seems to be alot of pl maps as the first vote option thats also needs to be changed.

 

if you want i can install the vote from AM3 (only has 2 groups instead of 3)

 

its the voting from AM3 that needs changing
