Auto select combine if no one will switch

Post by FalZen »

Hey guys!

Now where school starts again the activity will decrease a lot and i have already seen it past the last 3 days.

We are often playing like 5-6 players now, but there's one problem... No one wants to be combine!
When someone die they just switch immediately or when just quit the game and rejoins. My idea would be to make a autoselect combine.. So instead of the first person who dies will be combine the autoselecter could pick a combine if no ones say /switch before like 20 sec.

This should be a random select so everybody could be combine.
Another idea could be, that the combine have to stay on the team in 3 rounds before he can switch back.
I want this idea to become reality because it's really fucked when players switch back to rebels after one round and then we can have a round without a combine until someone dies.. That means that only half of the rounds actually will be played like it should with combines vs. rebels

Hope u like my idea and come with questions if u don't understand :P

I don't really think that this is a problem it happends on very rare times. If you see a player switching back all the time after getting selected to a combine then you should warn him and threatend him with a ban. It always works when for me.

I also do that, but it's way easier to solve if this whould be added..

The problem is that i don't want to kick/ban players when we only have 5 players. At that point ppl will quit if there's 3-4 players in the server.

Wouldn't it be way easier if Nick and Ant just removed all the admins and just script the server full of stuff that will make it perfect?
We have admins for a reason and we better use them for something instead of adding new scripts that will do all the work...

The person who dies when nobody is combine will be automatically selected. I don't think a change is needed.

To Travis:
We need admins because of situations of being stuck or people doing things they shouldn't be doing.

About the activity, I'm not sure if its school or is it because of the recent ip change. Admins not playing regularly will be removed even if you have stuff to do. Being assigned admin is a privilege and not a joke, so slacking is not permitted as the admin stats will show it.

About me:
I have finished my company's website and just released another version of roleplay. Starting tomorrow, I'll be making more maps and stuff on the server. I know it's been slow lately, but it should be getting back up this weekend.

I would say just go combine in that case.
As an admin you might wanna focus on keeping players instead of what you want to do.
Also you can get points very easily ;D

This idea is retarded as fuck. The server has a fucking switch option for a reason. If someone doesn't want to be combine then they don't have to be. Let them fucking switch and don't be fucking dicks about it. If you want to get rid of this problem get rid of switch. Make it auto select everyone when the round starts and if you win the round you are auto combine. It wouldn't be a fucking problem.

This is a good idea, because when someone dies, or he types !switch quicly, or he rejoins. Very annoying for players.
