I was just wondering if this community would like to have an easy, customizable tournament website where players can play for fun (free) or for Cash (Competitive). Examples would be www.TournamentFront.com Check out that website and see how it works... all we would have to do is add Nexuiz to the List of PC Games and you guys have your very own Tournament Website. Hopefully enough of you are interested in this idea. Thanks!

I would certainly be interested in a new tournament system.
We've used phpTourney in the past, and it's been rather decrepit.

I would love it.

The phptourney system is buggy and not easy to use, IMO.

Yeah. We want a new Nexuiz tourney site.
I would like to suggest Nexuiz on the www.TournamentFront.com forums but the admin has disabled registrations

The forums for Tournament Front registration are disabled? As for as I know the site runs on One Account that you register for the Forums and the Actual Tournament Site... So you don't need to register Twice... I'll look into it k, Looks like people are really interested which is GREAT! To get this ball rolling, all I need from you guys is a COMPLETE set of Game Options so that we can Put the Game under our PC list..... Thanks!

*Looked into and I found out that you sign up on the main site and use that login

Looks very interesting, good idea

I'd like to get this game in there, but I need a little more community backing it.... hopefully some more people vote or a little more publicity is done. (Maybe post it in the news )

Sounds fine, i am interested.

Alright, if anyone can give me the game options.. I'll have a "Beta" Tournament Creation page for Nexuiz so you guys can see what its like....

Remember, I need all the options...

Maps
Gametypes
1v1's 2v2's ect...
Time Limits
Kills or Death Limits
Everything.....

Please try to group of the Options so its easily understood for example

4v4 - Capture the Flag - 1 Flag to 100 Flag Captures - 1 Minute to 100 Minutes Something like that


Maybe Moderators or Admins can post this in places, to help hype this up because I'm positive it will help the community...

Plus on the site your able to

- Make Teams
- Level Up using the In-Site ranking system

I mean there are a ton of Features!!! so if maybe this Thread could get some publicity, that would be awesome

Thanks,
Brandon

Cool site. Much better than the current. Clean UI and good options.

Are only the points you mentioned there relevant for you?

As I'm one of the head admins of the ladder I was in charge to create the rules (which also includes the information like size, gamemode, mappool, timelimit, etc.), however, the rules also include many more points like manipulations allowed by the client, the exact settings server admins have to use for their servers , and more.

You can read the rules http://planetnexuiz.com/ladder/ - simply select a ladder and go to the rules page then.

What we need to know is what information you also need beside the one you already mentioned.

I took a look at the site and its not exactly what we were going for, I see that you have a "Ladder", but Tournament Front is about full Customization, so if for instance they wanted grappling hook on in a 1v1 they could put it...

Every Point is relevant, I just listed a few but I know there are probably a ton of Options and yes we need them all to give the players that full customization I was talking about.

Could you list maybe all the Combinations for a 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3?

I am still not 100% sure whether I understand you correctly. Do you mean that you have to setup some custom fields in your system so that every one (players) can set up a new tourney and then can use and setup these fields to his liking ?

Because if you mean it this way it will be quite a long list, when including every server setting, etc. Also keep in mind that this community is so small that only a hand full of "tourney servers" exist, all these servers are free for use for the ladder and tourneys, but they use the ladder-rules set and these rules are already fine and won't be changed. So this means that if someone decides to create a tourney that allows a grappling hook this won't go anywhere unless he can provide servers to play the tourney on that have the grappling hook enabled

If I got this right, is there also a bigger text-area field where one can write additional rules using just normal text, I mean rules that don't make sense to put into a particular field like "size" (1v1) is one.

To give you a clear example of what im talking about, we are trying to get another game as part of our PC list and heres a tournament Creation page we made for them...

http://warsow.tournamentfront.com/create-tournament.php

We still don't have all the settings there, and again thats just an example, but we really do need a list of all the options, and how do the servers work? Players can't start their own servers? If thats the case then we need an option to pick a server I guess....

Ill tell you what Just give me all the "Ladder" Options and ill have a beta Tournament Creation page created for this game and you can see how it looks and then advise on how to make it better.

Of course players can create their own servers, but I would never play on other peoples servers they run on their own machine simply because of ping sucks and they can theoretically cheat on it.

again, since its a PC game and we have a "Post Proof" button for each tournament, they could take a Screenshot of the cheating and the Moderators (Me) would be more then happy to take care of the conflict.

No one wants to give me basic Options?

So far there are options like

1v1,2v2,3v3
Gametypes - CTF, Deathmatch, ????
Powerups - On/Off
Grappling Hook - On/Off
Frags - 5-50
Timelimit - 5-50 (Minutes)
Maps - (Please give me a list, also make sure to put whats available for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3)
Anything else that gets changed

Just check the above and tell me whats right/wrong and what needs to be added/removed/changed.

Thanks,
Brandon

This week I'm too occupied with other stuff and can't compile this list, but maybe this weekend. Otherwise I can give it to you next week.

That will work, ill be looking forward to it

Ok, so do you just want the usual gamemodes and the specific options?

1v1
Deathmatch, Powerups off, Hook off, fraglimit off, timelimit 15 minutes, Maps:
* Aggressor
* Aneurysm
* Bloodprison
* Darkzone
* Downer
* Final Rage
* Reslimed
* Runningman
* Runningman_1on1remix
* Soylent
* Stormkeep

3v3
Capture the flag, powerups on, Hook off, fraglimit off, timelimit 20 minutes, Maps:

#BloodprisonCTF
# Greatwall Reloaded
# Facing Worlds

Can you have any different Gametypes for any of the settings (1v1,2v2,3v3) besides what you have?

Yes, i just mentioned the popular combinations. If you want to have at most 6 players (it's too difficult to catch more than 6 players), there aren't so much other combinations anyway, 1v1 TDM and CTF, and 2v2 CTF are pointless.

Man, 2v2 TDM should really be 20 minutes timelimit i dont get why it is set to 15 i really don't and that CTF is set to 20 but TDM is not....

Can 3v3 be TDM Also, and if so what are the game settings for that.

And by more than 6 people, do you mean Per Team or Per Game like 3v3 = 6 People in the game 6v6 = 6 Players per Team.... Just list anything else that could be added/changed/modified also please.

Thanks

Also, heres what it looks like so far, Please help by identifying Problems and saying what needs to be added/removed.

*Note this is a beta Tournament Creation page, tournaments you create should not work until it is "Live"

Oh shit, why did this thread have to die?

Hehe lol Urmel - But its a good thing you brought it back to life (CPR really is useful?) I have to agree with the idea - Its always hard to set up tourneys without some form of ogranization.

This thread helped provide notes for a new tournament system for Nexuiz that some of us are planning. There is a small group of us that are working on some details of it (and other related projects) right now. I'm sketching out some ideas on the interface on paper and I'll be making mockups in the coming weeks. It's in the initial stages. Soon, once we get enough pieces of the puzzle together, we'll start discussing it with others in the community.

If anyone wants to get involved with the project planning before we pitch it to the community, let me know in IRC.

This site looks awesome. Keep it up

you say some of us? is this just for the American community, or a tournament system in general?

Hey H3L Ownage: I had a closer look at the preview tournament page and it looks fine. Using the notification system I sent you some changes that could additionally be applied. Other than that I don't think anything crucial is missing, and once you got the time it would be cool if you could enable Nexuiz so that it's a selectable game on the main page

cheers,
