with 1/2 used as voting.... I don't use them, but the problem is that as soon as I weapon switch with Q, E, scrollwheel, or right mousebutton,, the vote is done with it. (for I use a weapon change script... apparently when you then do a "slot1" or w/e with a script, it selects that "option" in a menu. In general I don't want to see any "menu", unless I specifically request for it. for its a annoyance while mid-fight, not working the weap change I need at that point because that menu blocks it.
A: I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this. Where is the practicality issue, and what's so bad about it? B: So...you brought up an irrelevant issue for no reason, or...? C: It has been a long time since I ran a TF2 server, but I'm pretty sure there are plugins that can allow you to change the way that all forms of voting works. I particularly like the non invasive ones where you have to press escape to vote, since you don't have to worry about it blocking your screen. Has obvious downsides to it, like fewer people voting, but if people really cared enough to choose a map, they would vote. Personally, I don't care what map it is, as long as that damn box is out of my sight, so I just shoot my hand up to the F keys and press whatever my finger lands on. Hardly a good way to vote, and I'm definitely not the only one. Regarding the 1/2 button thing, again, it should be possible to change that with a plugin, though I'm less sure of this, so I could be wrong. Part of me says that it is possible.
Re: AW: What's going on with the servers? Okay the issue is simple: If it doesnt ask, it may scramble when it shouldn't. That kills servers and pisses people off way more than having to press 1 or 2 now and then. The issue was brought up by you assuming I was talking about something else. You got it right now, mid round scrambles are a rare occasion we dont have to care about cause it happens in maybe 1 out of 100 matches Lastly: Obviously there are plugins that do this and that. We use gScramble, the thing about this plugin is that it obviously has issues too. One being the 1 or 2 menu at riund start that the plugin cant manage by config but only by code manipulation. If you do feel there is a big issue with it that you can fix yourself add me on steam, download gScramble and adjust the configs and we can take a look at it.
Heh, I'm afraid the only coding I do is HTML, CSS, and PHP! I have a question for you, though. So what if it scrambles without asking? I think if any team wins too quickly, or makes a massively disproportionate amount of kills, compared to the other team, then it should be scrambled. Both those criteria involve one team steamrolling the other, and is no fun for either side. No challenge, no satisfaction in victory. Too challenging, and it's also no fun. You play a game, expecting to lose every now and then, but if your time is mostly spent waiting to respawn, then that's just going to lose players through rage quits (justified rage, in all fairness). I've been a part of four other communities in the past, and most of them had auto scrambles. Not once have I seen someone complain. I'm not saying that you are making things up, but it just seems strange that people would only have a problem with it on LZ. But hey, I've voiced my opinion. I think its much more fair that a round begins with an auto scramble when conditions call for it, than to have it happen during the round (be it the beginning, or the mid), and in many cases, lead to imbalanced teams that haven't returned to spawn. I'll leave it at that.
I'm complaining about the current scrambles, not the way other scrambles such as an auto on round start.
