Server Rules

[DarkPaladinPrime]

Hey guys its Dark, I was on another trade server the other day and they had some of the major rules posted on to a spray on the server. I think it would be a good idea if we had like a permanent spray establishing some of the major rules for new comers. What do you guys think?

 

[HappySticks™]

I think that's a great idea since many don't know the rules and honestly I have no idea where to find the rules of the servers other then here on the forums

The thing is, is we have more than one Idle server, and a dead pub. It would be hard for them to maneuver the spray in, and I think a list should be presented at the time when you join the server with a time countdown, so they can't join after 5-10 seconds. Gives them a chance to actually read it.

>tfw dead pub comment.
Anyways, Gatherix has a plugin installed that makes any users agree to conditions of the server. It doesn't always work all the time though.

Narf I am saying we install like a permanent spray that stays on all the time. Like we edit part of the wall in the spawn to say the rules

This can be done relatively easily, and I'd be more than happy to do it.

All I need:

- a copy of the map(s)
- a copy of the spray

edit: I know I'm not a tf2 guy, but I know how to create maps for source/go/tf2 etc. so I can help out if this actually wants to get done.

Well we would need to create the spray and it obviously cant have all the rules on it so we should make one that has the major rules. Also I need to know where the rules are on the website that way I can copy paste them on to my own spray I will use

Check the link in my signature. Unless TF2 has it's own set that I'm unaware of...

It does, and they're on that very same Rules post.
TF2 encompasses all of Darkly's rules, but there are certain rules that apply to CS, and not TF2, and vice versa.
So there is general rules, then game-specific rules.

There you go, so ya'll work it out, and I'll see what I can do to help out.

 

[DarkPaladinPrime]

Ya I am looking into it myself hopefully I will have something later I can use

Lightbulb just went off on my head. On each map that you want done, I'll create a big-ass wooden billboard, as we've all seen in cs maps for advertisement. I'll stick the rules on there and have it somewhere smack in the middle of the map.

Could sprays still cover it up??
If not then I think its a good idea, i've seen it before

Also is there something like a !rule command that sends us to the rules on the forum?

I'm sure I could make it does it doesn't.

This can be done in a number of ways, the easiest being having them written on MOTD and having players type "!motd" to bring it back up instead of having them spit through the chat...

I never knew this was a rule, has it always been?

 

[Gatherix]

From my experience these kinds of things don't work too well - most of the rules are common sense, and players can view them by typing !rules. There's also a rolling message stating the command, and one is shown one a player's first join (though as Mizz pointed out the latter doesn't always work properly). I'm not on the servers much though, so if you guys feel like it's necessary then it certainly should be considered.

It's not a rule, Dark didn't interpret the clause correctly. Gambling is fine, but any wagers are considered formal obligations and we will take action if someone fails to pay.

 

[DarkPaladinPrime]

Oh sorry I misinterpreted the rule maybe you should consider adding what you just said to it and btw I tried using !rules on some of the trade servers it did not work. Just giving you a headsup

Yea, I notified him about it yesterday so hopefully that along with the other commands not functioning properly get fixed soon such as !submit, !servers, !admins, etc.
