brakes and team shuffle

Post by milan »

I am wondering if there is a possibility of implementing these 2 ideas i have.

1. When using brake toggle it would be great if brakes reset after depleting.
2. Whole server players shuffle. Let me explain, when playing fort, sometimes teams get extremly unbalanced, it doesnt last long, but it can get really annoying (at least for me), so the idea is to have poll or admin command, to shuffle all players playing on server thus making 2 brand new teams. It can be fun as well :)

Sry if these were disscused before I didnt have patience to search other posts.

1. Would take some skill out of managing your brake. But yes, it could be done clientside.
2. Good idea. May even be a good thing to allow to automatically do this after matches end with horribly mismatched scores. Just, shuffle is already reserved. We need to call it something else :)

Cool Ideas! I really like the second one, like Z-Man already mentioned, we need a different way to call it. What about switch or randomnize.
Anyway, if you do that, there should be a short freeze at the Start of the following Round, to get in /team a defense.

thought about this very often... the source for the rebalance algorithm could be the players scores of the last match to guarantee a nearly fair skill balance, like in sumo, where the players with similar points are spawned togehter in one zone every round :)

Exactly!

Randomize sounds great.
