1.6 Server update - 11th March

[DoubleDoom]

It appears that metamod (a server plugin that is required for all other plugins, such as amx, to work), is no longer stable with some server cvars. That is why the server started crashing every 20-30 minutes earlier today.

So, after quite a bit of updating this afternoon, the server is now working correctly again. Whilst i was at it a couple of changes were made.

1 - PTB will change more frequently than before. This may need some tweaking. However, it will no longer kill on team switch and you wont lose your guns.

2 - Team talk remains on rather than alltalk. However, when you are dead, you will be able to talk to all the other dead players regardless of team.

3 - 1v1 betting. In a 1v1 situation you will be able to bet money on which one of the two will win. If your bet wins, you get the money in the pot. The player being bet on will see how people are voting and what the pot is.

The connection settings have been tweaked and early signs are that people are getting better reg. However, do remember that a high cpu map will always hit the reg a little. If you want maps like greenhouse, karachi and bikini and more than 26 players, then that is the price you pay.

LoL nice updates....sure need to test them out this weekend :D

[DoubleDoom]

It was rounded off well with a map test session last night where 5 out of 13 maps were added to the server.

The alltalk thing has been great IMO, nice one.

But ptb seems to be a little too enthusiastic to switch since the changes. Eg. I got switched from T to CT one round, then back to T the very next round. This happened once when I had a good score and once when I had the worst score on server :D

Anyway the alltalk thingy is a bit buggy I think... I can't mute ppl anymore :(

[DoubleDoom]

the nature of the alltalk command means that muting may not be possible, at least not when dead. It would probably mute still when alive though.

Options:

1 - Don't die.

2 - Ask the mic abuser to stop

3 - If an admin is playing, you could get the admin to turn off the microphone of the mic abuser. All admins have access rights to do that.

4 - Alternatively, a paying member could initiate a votekick on the person.

Another change is that the time between voting has been reduced to 3 minutes.

I played with this, and I liked the dead alltalk. If ptb changes me Im just glad because I take it as a compliment.

This is why I think the server is even better then befor, good job DD.
