New Scramble - How does it work ? - Voting

[Leviathan]

The new scramble has alot of new features which will prevent stacking and people trying to re-stack the team, it will also bring up protection to the players who want to play with a friend in the same team.

General
* Make admins, medics, or engineers immune from scramble
* Respawn everyone after scramble depending on time and setting
* Restart round after scramble depending on time and setting
* Charge medic ubercannon if scramble occurs during setup
* Reset setup timer if scramble occurs during setup
* Admin menu integration
* Force clients to accept their new team by blocking join team commands (detect reconnecting with clientprefs)
* RTV-style votescramble starting
* Admin commands for starting a scramble vote
* Allow clients to choose what team they'd prefer to be on (overrides auto-balance)
* Block clients from changing to spectate if it will cause an imbalance
* Allow clients to choose a buddy to protect themselves from auto-balance and scramble.
* Block public voting when admins are present.
* Balance valid players (admin, engineers, top scoring players, players helping their team (cp captures, flag touching, sentry destroying), and medics all can be made immune)
* Force balance after teams have been imbalanced too long
* Scramble when one team is over-powered
* Can trigger a vote instead of scrambling

Now the plugin is still in TEST, we just got it today at 1 AM and didnt had time to config it properly, so dont start complaining ...

This way if someone complains, we will just say they had the chance to show their opinion but they didnt

Note:This config above is not what the server has at the moment.

It sucks. It scrambled two games which were close, tight and balanced games. No offense, I really appreciate the effort to combat scrambling but this script in particularly doesn't work very well in my very weak opinion ^^

That's fair enough i'm just being honest (albiet brutally) about the current state of it

feedback is feedback ^.^

[Don.Kent]

Configure it the way you see fit and keep it running for some weeks. One day isn't enough time to come to a conclusion.

[Don.Kent]

I thought i'd bump this since no one except me and drusilla offered any input.

I still think this needs some tweaking with the triggers (sometimes it scrambles when it's pretty even) but it should be working fine in theory.

Yup. On dustbowl a high score difference between the teams doesn't necessarily mean it's boring.

Dustbowl is always boring. But I know what you mean.

Maybe some commands can change at specific maps?

[Drusilla]

Remove the domination trigger. I had 4 dominations at the end of dustbowl 2, and because I was rushing the point to try and keep the enemy off, I lost all 4 dominations, at the end of the round the scramble was triggered - the game was balanced and we held off blu right until the last 30 seconds and then they capped... To me that's a fair game
