[Server] Capture the Flag Server

[Chem871]

Maybe add the mod that disables damage within a certain radius of a particular node(the flags)?

[Waterbug]

What if the game made a list of which players are on what team and saved it for the entire match, then if a player tries switching it could just check the list and since the server also knows a players alts, if a player tries joining as their alt it just seds the alt to the team the player was on. ya know what i mean?

Yes - this was exactly what was proposed in the related GitHub Issue too.

The server should only tag a player to a team for a match by their name only and allow their alternate account to join the other team because said alternate account may actually be another person, as is the case with me (check my ban record and you'll find that it says Waterbug, DragonsVolcanoDance, and Meechie are all the same person when in fact we are all different people who just happen to have the same IP address).

I think unbalanced teams where four out of five pros end up on one team at the beginning of a match is the problem we need to worry about more. Most players usually won't change their name just to switch teams or even try to switch teams at all, especially if the teams were balance properly from the start of the match. A lot of team-switching is players trying to change from the weaker team to the stronger one or vice versa because the teams weren't balanced properly at the beginning of the match.

[CESTRayCRYSTALwZ]

I have an idea for balancing the teams better: the server could evenly split pro players between the two teams at the beginning of each match (telling who a pro player is by their kill/death ratio) and then evenly split the noob players (players with low kill/death ratio) between the two teams.

A great idea! I agree with you, because the K/D ratios are not as different as they used to be in coincidence. We're lucky and play more epic games that last 1 hour and almost everyone with 20 K / D ratio go deeper and when the K/D differences are so close that the mod does not know where the player (who plays with the same K/D like the other), the mod has to randomize the players because the differences are so small.

It will not be too bad if we can add armor. Then maybe you will not get the same K/D ratio

Add an StarWars Map :D / Pokemon staduim / Big Mine Map /FootBall Staduim map/ vilage map / space ships map / Ships in Ocean PVP as pirates .... Many Maps suggestions :DDD

If a player works on your map ideas, he has done it in about 1 or 2 weeks until he is done with all the maps. So you need more players to get it done or people.

it was only suggestions ... i hope if any builders do a one of them :D

Don't be surprised, unfortunately it happens very often. Swearing generally results in a kick at least, and a perma-ban at most, when seen by a moderator. We are particularly strict on this point because many players are kids and we don't want them to see that.

GUYS ERRORRR: i and Aukira saw a player who uses flying and fast privileges ... hackers and not lagg or glitch or anything ...

HE could be a possible hacker from the skywars servers DID his name have something --_--> like that, this is a big issue that hacker was able to change his ip and the admin could not ban him.

I saw that on IRC too, and notified rubenwardy about the same - Somehow the filter mod did not recognize such a blatant swear-word, and subsequently couldn't prevent that word from appearing in chat...

True that would be a problem, i didn't think about it.

[Chem871]

I had trouble with that --||--__|- etc. named person on Skywars. They wouldn't stop coming back. They don't go to Skywars anymore, though. Be careful of them. They did escape banning countless times.

During the 'inactivity hours' (you know, the hours where almost no pros/long-time-players are on) the server is full of people doing nothing but flag hogging and spawn killing to get their score up. I tell them to only kill people that attack them (like I do) but they just won't listen.

Notifying the moderators by using /report would go a long way in keeping such issues in check. There are always one or more moderators on IRC, even if none of them are in-game, and those moderators receive every single report

Code: Select all

/report NAME MESSAGE

[ANAND]

A lot of players don't pay attention to the random messages in the chat. I suggest we "greet" (read as "pester") players on join, with a nice formspec that lists *all* the random messages, plus a few important rules as well.

[OrangeSoda]

Someone accused me and two others of spawn killing because we were protecting the person who caught the flag and was carrying it to our base, by killing people who were running inside the tunnel our guy dug from our base to theirs. That's not spawn killing, is it?

I think it's called fighting off lazy people who think everything that goes against them is cheating

This would be a best way to play with such field of view. This has with my texture package where the blocks changed so that nothing to do.

Ouch! Dat FPS hurts! :P

That FoV is borderline-playable, any higher and the game will be nauseating to play...

[Enrikoo]

Thank you for banning me! I could not endure the game at all, these same people and these textures seem so awful to me, so I wanted to troll because these nasty words turn minds into my brain. (I could also copy player noclip.) Thank you very much for banning me I would have hacked you all if it continues like this. I asked myself such questions as "how is it possible to just respect death?".
I always read too much nasty words and have to distract so I do not tell my parents that. This is just distraction so I do not remember bad words and that's why I would like to have my team trolled. But I do not want to stop complaining because I do not want to say such bad words to my parents. I notice that every time and have to distract for it like "never stop complaining and trolling." Can you understand that about children? I troll the team at shouting but not with interact. I might also need support from the people. Every time I see these noobs with such things. With such things, I can disengage and spin. You have to explain that.

You could add that to testimonials from CTF. I'm not going to start the forum right now, so please make sure to ban many words that refer to "pornism, sexism" please. I want that. I'm 12 years old. From the age of 13 it is possible for me to respect death.

Like Microsoft, he can do it well. He forbids children to play multiplayer. Why is not there something in Minetest?

You can also consider making a minigame server like CTF for kids because the normal CTF costs a lot of moderation. I meant a CTF server for children where little rules are.

Someone please read this and let me know if this makes any sense at all... -_-

Enrico: You were just temp-banned for 5 days. Please behave appropriately and pray that you don't get perma-banned.

so I wanted to troll because these nasty words turn minds into my brain.

Hmm... I remember you saying that your sister was responsible for saying all that random nonsense in chat.

P.S. I beg you, please don't use a translator! ._.
