Suggestion Box

[Video_Master]

As the division leader for TF2, it is my duty to ask about suggestions for the server. We are open to almost anything that may improve performance or add to our members and guests enjoyment - so please feel free to speak your mind.

Also any issues within the server be it a problem with other players or anything else should be directed to Video Master, Hitman Smurf or Crazydog via private message. If for some reason all three of us are unavailable or do not reply promptly within 24 hours please feel free to contact Widomaker.

We care about our members as well as guests and without you we would be alone in an empty server - We welcome you to join our vent server and talk directly with us. Half the fun are the conversations and friendly "trash talk" amongst the regs that you wont get in the in game chat cause you can only hear the team you are on, and a good number of friendships have been made this way.

So please help us help make TF2 a more enjoyable and fun, but yet competitive enviornment!

Thanks,
VM

This plugin seems like it could be worth a look at. May help populate the server during non peak hours and keep em full longer. Idk, just a suggestion.

very interesting pluggin.  I will check into it.

[Hitman Smurf]

I'm available most of the day and am almost always in the servers, evenings, so if anyone needs anything or has a question you are free to contact me over Steam or in Vent.

Here's some general plugins I think we should put on the server:

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=70417 - High Ping Kicker, so we don't have to do it manually anymore. "It takes the players cmdrate and the servers tickrate into account when doing this. It also includes a 30 second grace period for players who are connecting / logging in."

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=69593 - Map rating, so we can see if people actually like the custom maps we have on the server

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=58314 - HLstatsX plugin, shows all the hlstats info via chat, has its own menu

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=72075 - Lets certain admins listen to the other team's voicechat, or speak to the entire server without having to change alltalk. Good for global announcements or just to listen to hear if someone on the other team is voicespamming (instead of trying to switch teams)

What would we want for our high ping kicker?

Map rating would be cool to have so I will look into that one.

The stats information starts to take alot out of the server as we saw with out Gun Game server so we will skip that one.

as for the voice thing it seems pretty cool so I will look into that one.

Well, we normally kick people with abnormally high pings, so this will just do it automatically.

*Sorry, I misunderstood your post. 200ms is fine.

1)  200 ms

2) Good way to set the map rotation

3) We can already see our stats in the side panel anyway with the HlstatsX in game commands right?

4) Definitely a good idea

Here's a couple more

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=599464 - Dynamic map rotation. The map rotation changes based on # of players, etc. A little complicated to set up, though.

With Dynamic Map Rotations, you can skip maps based on the number of players on the server or the time of day, and it's easy to add more conditions.

Can we get this to move people to spec and then kick them after a said amount of time?

[crazydog]

That's the second variable in the config for that plugin, so yes.

Figure out what we would want all the values set at and send them to me in a PM.  As soon as I have that info we will test teh AFK Kicker out on the server.

I have added the High Ping Kicker and the Admin Sentinal chat Listener to the server to test out.  Let me know what you think of them.

High ping kicker did it's job today.

What do you think of this pluggin for admins who have the slay ability?

This is called Uber Slap.

It slaps the target (with lightning effects) very quickly repeating for 1 HP until the player dies.
