Suggestions for pro-ness.
1) - Install KAC anti-cheat client ting. Stops various exploits that we know about plus LOADS that we don't. like when someone can magically "timeleft" 3000x in a second and lag the server out. Or auto ban them Myg0t cunts for being alive, it is the cillit bang of anti-cunt software. BANG and the douche is gone.
http://forums.allied...ead.php?t=72354 is where you can get it but sourcemod and sockets are needed. (both linked on that site)
2) - Map rotation. New server, new rules? i'm often the one who populates the server, or gets it going in the daytime/morning. it's all well and good having amazing maps and so on but if there's no-one to play against as they all left when de-train came on what's the point? de_tuscan. I like it, good map, but server empties when it comes on. how do i know this? well these maps are still on when i join the next day on my own, and eventually change it to dust2 for the inevitible 3 minute wait for cannon fodder. Suggested order would be something like... Dust1 - Dust2 - Italy - Office - Cbble - Aztec - Repeat. i reckon this is a good starter as everyone will play those maps.
3) - Automatic map vote 3 mins before map change putting all the random maps up and the standard ones, give the people a chance to choose their fate, as an admin you can overrule the choice, but it gives people an incentive to stay on, make them think they actually matter.
4) - Custom/Admin Skins. Had them before, they were jokes.
5) - MOTD to include most common shit like Rates - - "cl_cmdrate 100" cl_updaterate 100" "rate 30000"
Admin List - - "Josh, Maybug, Le0n, Kris..." so ppl know who to pester
A Warning - - "Admin abuse at your own peril, most of us are c**ts"
The Rules - - "No cunts"
6) - Quake sounds. What's not to like, "Godlike" yea bitch, recognise.
7) - Fpsbanana maps. There are 1000's there to choose from, i'd go have a look. But we all know that 9/10 of the maps there are shat, and the gems are all hidden help us find them!!
8) - Server slots. How many slots is the new one gonna be, i ask for many reasons, i remember coming on originally cus the server was relatively large, it had a large clan base, funny sounds, models and maps, and the guys were my kind of cunts, esp bombshell. Overtime you bowed to the pressures of the £30 pc nab brigade and adjusted and tweaked this and that over the years. Slots were reduced, sounds and skins came off all in a search for "reg". overtime the reg appeared to get worse, at certain times of the day the server couldn't be played as the cpu would max out for a bit for shits & Giggles, no apparent reason. it'd only do it when someone like "Nade" came on. It's all new now isn't it? Can we not have the server we remember, the server we loved. A few more slots here and there, a few sounds, a couple of skins, a new OS. It was these things that made the server individual that made people want to join. if it's just another empty small server on a list of 100's, where's the draw that says "pick me".
9) - no idea what it's called, think slim may have touched upon it. But when the last 2 ppl are alive a vote for a knife fight comes up, if they acept they are tele'd to each other with full hp beacons and knives. Well funny.
10) - Server name. Can we put lots of irrelevant shit in the server name bar like everyone else? |10,000 tick| |3.2 Billion Fps| |Amazing Reg| |Mug-mod| |16k start money| basically lie.
