Not enough CTF servers - more DM servers than we need

Postby Clueless Newbie » Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:10 am

I usually only play CTF (cuz DM bores me), but when I go looking for a game, I find that the CTF servers are generally packed. The DM servers, OTOH, are often empty.

So here's a request to those who are already hosting CTF servers: Pleease add more player slots (if you can). And to those who are hosting empty DM servers with at least ten player slots: Pleeease host CTF instead. If you do, chances are that the players who didn't book reservations on Beckstein vs Stoiber CTF will come to your server instead. You get more players on your servers, and we players get to play CTF.

Two things will happen:

  • "Beckstein vs Stoiber" will get renamed, just no idea what to. It is actually the "RBI server", not the "Beckstein server" :P
  • I will dynamically start one or two extra servers in RBI when the primary one is full. Just implementing a system to do that. Once they are too empty, players will get redirected back to the main server.
  • More than 16 slots do not make sense for CTF, as most maps (actually all but one) are not designed for so many players. The only map I can imagine working well with more than 16 players is the new cbctf4.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Yes. Or Beckstein Reloaded. Or Beckstein:Impossible. Or Beckstein Water Burn. Whatever.

That sounds good to me. Anything that will allow me to join a CTF game when I want one.. B)
