This post is to test the waters to see what other members think, I understand that I am new to these parts so I am not looking to over step my place, just throwing ideas out there! If this has already been discussed or these mods have already been proven to be the best than feel free to tell me to f off :)
I understand that it’s difficult to run a server properly and still have fun in game when you’re an admin since you want to play instead of babysitting, so I know mods like the ff and team balance and sm come in handy for this purpose, but I was wondering if there was a wayto change/tweak on how a few of these work?
FF- is great to play with it makes you think of what you are doing and adds that bit of realism to the game but it seems to be a bit harsh that if you shoot someone (say if they get in your way or your trying to help them) and they have 2 hp and you have 100 that your slayed automatically. I was wondering if it’s possible (not sure how much sm lets you change things) to tweak the mod so you only receive the damage that you gave. If you are tked the server already allows you to punish the player so if it was really stupid move that got you tked then you can still slay but at least you have the choice to forgive ie last 2 cts die because of ff while trying to defuse the bomb.
Team Swap- I understand the need for this my only concern is when your swapped and you get stuck with another player. Your usually swapped for 2 reasons 1 you are doing good and the mod thinks you’ll help the losing team or 2 you are not doing good so your moved to the winning team to make room on the losing team. Either way getting stuck defeats the purpose, good players can’t help at all and players that are doing bad are just going to do worse. And yes if an admin’s around they might have time to slap you but usually there’s more than 1 group stuck so this doesn’t always work and there’s no guarantee that there will be one on. Worse case I’ve seen and was a part of was on egons world in one round 12 players were stuck and on that map I was stuck 8 times! lol so it’s not like I was much help to the team I was swapped too! I’m not sure exactly what can be done for this mod but that’s why I’m posting to get ideas.
