Hey guys, I drop in to your cod2 servers later in the evenings for a bit now and then but thought I'd extend an invite to play CTF with us at OHMY sometime. (74.91.121.227:28960). Players of all skill levels welcome. Rocketman and focusedfrog who frequent the DM server play some with us but I hope more of you will drop by sometime. Team Speak is there as well if anyone wants to join that. We're typically on from lunch time until 8/9PM cst. One of our members has made roughly 50 maps in the last 3-4 years and many of them are really good. So if you're ever looking for new maps it's a good place to find those as well. Anyway, thanks for keeping a server up and running in cod2. Hope to see you at our place sometime. 10001110101- a.k.a. Binary

I had to manually kick her so it would stop doing that lol. I will have another look at the scripts but as far as I am aware. there is not much else I can change aside from the amount of time it takes to kick people.

Need to look and add a in game warning on being kicked if idle to long in spectate or vocalize it in game so everyone knows

Yes, thanks for the new batch! Liking the new lineup so far. One round, at least, it kept saying it was going to kick Hexe for inactivity, but don't think it ever did. ?

Following some brief feedback, I will be increasing the time allowed to sit in spec to 3 minutes tomorrow. I am trying to find a way to fix the broken auto-balance

Thanks pain - but how do we keep @loaderXI out???

As Always, thanks Pain, for the update and work, the cod 2 players thank you...

It's finally time to update the TDM server with new maps and a quick change to how the server handles AFK players.

This will have an impact on the Auto-balance. What this means is that if you are in spectate for more than two minutes, you WILL be kicked to allow the server to autobalance correctly. This is the only way we can stop moving people around manually.

Dang phone likes to auto correct everything even when I type it out the way I want it. Lol

The last version to come out is 3.0...We run 2.6 on TDM and 2.8 on DM

Interesting to know @PainKiller. I didn't know the specs played into auto balance. It seems like that would be an easy coding fix from the developers to keep the specs out of the auto balance headcount. Is that mod still being worked on actively at all? I haven't read up on it in ages. It seems like that feature request would have already been made.

Silly girl/s Dat why me wuvs u so ...No I changed my in game so everyone remembers to [email protected] their weapons and if members want to join they canme to make room

LOL "Louder", hahaha that is a good one. hehe So is that why Loader changed his name to Re-load? To stop Giggles calling from him Louder? Hurry in the maps so you can "Murderize" him. hehe

All, Thanks for explaing here. PK, and myself have had several conversations on this topic in the past. There is no team stacking going on. The Tdm server runs a mix of sniper, run & Gun, and CTF. Just imagine if you were playing CTF and the teams were 6 vs 2 how fun would that be if you were on the latter team? This is where auto balance is needed, but many times won't work due to the people in spec. As PK said, he moves the last person in game from the over balanced team. That's it really. The stacking blame game is just not holding water. It's clearly done to make it better. If peeps think there is something wrong in the servers then bring it to an ADM, or just post here in the fourms and it will get pick up.

I've found over the years changing server settings do not make grumpy whinning players any less grumpy and whiney. I have found that one rule does help. Respect our admins in game. Have a problem take it to our forums. Continued disrespect in game will get you kicked from the game. Servers are a place to have fun. Forums are a free for all. Harder then it sounds to do though

Yes exception can be written in the script

Thx pain...no problems with teams....i play with all idiots and have fun..sometimes we win....lol.. Almost great job from our admins.....thx for that

I can only carry so much dead weight

I am sure this can be sorted out It'll upset some people but it is what it is. No, all it does is try to autobalance faster. Yea, specs will always affect autobalance. That's why when the round starts there are the occassions of 3v1 because the other two players of team two are still in spec. It's all ballache

Louder can you make it so if they sit in spec to long it will boot ... I've played on servers like that before. I also know that when you put that into place there was a place to make it so admins would not get kicked from spec without an admin kick. Just a thought.

So the mod change I did with reducing the time with auto-balance did nothing ? Also spectators will have a effect on auto-balance as the server see's players sitting there and has to consider them joining...I can make a mod to change the handling of specs but some will not be happy for sure

Thanks, Pain, for taking the time to explain and all your hard work with map rotations, you are appreciated much...

But painkiller. Why is it anytime I play I get stuck on your team and lose. wait wait I get it. It’s down to skill level. Lol Thanks for the explanation.

NEVER had a problem with anything on the server - thanks for your efforts - keep up the good work
