Now that we've been running the TF2 server for a while and had plenty of games, we've had a look at the good and bad points of the current setup. We found that arena maps were a common source of annoyance, so some of them have been removed from the map list. I have added nominations, so that any player can nominate a map for the next vote. It can be used by typing 'nominate' in the chat.

If any further changes would be appreciated, let us know.

Can you add the Add time function and a Autobalance plugin please

I can't think of anything else that would benefit the server at the moment.

[CodeCat]

Got a link to those plugins? What do they do?

[Libains]

Teamscramble would come in handy I imagine.

[Warbz]

WHATS THAT? YOU WANT MORE AWESOME GAME BREAKING PLUGINS?

I really don't want that added in, its just not needed. We'd end up just bloating the server.

That AFK manager could result in having too many players kicked if they have a lag spike which lasts more than 10 seconds, and that would really be annoying...

As I understand it, it only checks every 10 seconds. I assume if it checks 3 times (Or any other number of times as defined by an Admin) and you still haven't moved then it will kick you.

Seems very unfitting if you're a sniper.

You have to be really really still to be kicked

[CodeCat]

I don't think it's needed, the game's built-in AFK kicking mechanism works fine.

[TheDR]

Well, just the team balance/scramble thing then. Sometimes we could do with it when the teams are unbalanced.

How are arena maps annoying? Naturally some people are just not going to like playing that game mode, but some of us happen to enjoy arena mode. And I realize you only took out some of the maps, but can you list the arena maps still on the list?

[CodeCat]

Ravine.

I can still change it to arena or any other map if we get enough demand for it in the server. Arena is disliked by lots of people because you have to wait a while to re-spawn. I agree with the decision to remove it even though i am a big fan of arena i realize it does slow down the overall pace of the game.

I still think that the only immediate change needed to the server is the ability to request a scramble of the teams, as somtimes it becomes stacked and the other team would find it frustrating, I know.

Ah ok, that's reasonable. Majority should win anyways.

I've mentioned this plugin a while ago, and I will do so again in this thread.

https://forums.allie...ead.php?t=96634

This plugin basically enables moderators and administrators to start a melee-only round. A round in which the only weapons allowed are melee weapons (Eg. Fire Axes, the KGB, or the Spy's Butterflyknife).

About a month, uni is keeping me busy.

[MR.Kim]

Can we add fast respwan mode? I'm mean, most severs use this mode.

[CodeCat]

Definite no from me, fast respawn ruins the game.
