Team Balance on Toronto Darkly

[Shotgun Jesus]

Today we will be testing a newer version of our Auto Team Balance plugin. This is an attempt to fix the issue where up to 6 players spawn inside eachother.

We will be testing this solution first. If it fails to solve the issue we will try Spawntools7, or the NoBlock option discussed here.


Our current ATB version 2.2.2 has the following lines, and could be the source of the problem:

// Switches the team of a client and associated a random player model
// Also sends a message to let the player know they have been switched

// Respawn the player so they end up back at their own spawn point
SDKCall([B]roundRespawn[/B], client);

Version 2.2.4, which we will test today, has the following in the changelog:

2.2.4
* Removed need for the SDKCalls SetModel, SetTeam, and [B]roundRespawn[/B]

We probably won't know if the issue is resolved until the server is full and maps like de_season, de_contra are played.

Version 2.2.4 of the plugin is completely stock for now. We won't be changing any of the settings until we know it works, so you may see some abnormal team balancing behavior tonight.


If there are any issues, report them in this thread. If it works, report it in this thread :pray:

but, I like being inside you

You said report any issues here.
This guy has issues. 0.0

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

He certainly does. :wink:

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Please let me know if the team balancer is too aggressive with default settings.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Full server on de_season: saw no one getting stuck after team balance on two switches. :pray:

Need to check more maps: de_contra, ad_egon_world, what else?

Doesn't seem all that aggressive either.

 

[Olst]

Desert Atrocity,

I've already saw some people stuck on this map.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Not today though. But we'll test it out tonight. It's usually CTs that get stuck on DA, right?

 

[excalibur]

never saw people get stuck on DA that i remember.

Thought the only maps we had problems with was Season, Egon and Contra

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

I've seen DA before, but it is rare. I'm sure there are other maps, but I can only remember Season, Egon and Contra because we play them so often.

 

[Olst]

SJ, I can't tell for the CTs on DA but I've seen a lot of Ts getting stuck tho

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

You might have just been high on cock. :neutral:

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Again on de_season, full server, multiple team balances = 0 stuck at spawn. :pray:

edit: FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Monster]

so is it still running smooth?

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

More or less. I've only seen real issues with Ts on de_cpl_diesel, but that continued even after the plugin was disabled. I removed the map as a result (hardly played anyway).

True that, I gotta go map-testing/hunting for TD. We need some cool new shit.

Modify cpl_strike to being 32 player, and I will suck your dick.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Apparently he already did. cpl_strike_td

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

I've changed a few settings regarding the team balance plugin's internal player stats.

The first goal is to see if we can cut down on the frequency of the same players (good or bad) from being switched map after map after map.

The second goal is to see if we can cut down on the plugin's tendency to reverse Admin swaps.

Let us know how it goes.

Wicked stuff, Shotgun. I'll be sure to report back here. Thank you mate!
