After playing quite a bit off capture during the Spring Edition, I noticed a few things that could be tweaked to make the game mode more enjoyable.

- MG should start 20 ammo instead of 10.

- The "base lost" announcement shouldn't happen if it's not my team that lost the base.

- The "base captured" announcement shouldn't happen if it's not my team that captured the base.

- Ammo spawn time on flags should be drastically shorter. With as fast as the gameplay is in capture and the amount of people that are usually on a team, your almost better off suiciding to get more ammo.

- The flag radar needs to be solid, it's too difficult to see in well lit maps or maps with brighter skyboxes.

- Force team to either Good or Evil.

- Some form or auto team balancing, quite often I find the teams to be off. Almost to the point where it's rare to find a balanced game.

I like 10 mg ammo, it's just right, you can get 1 kill and then move onto using other ammo.

oh well.

what about a /forceNteams N to cut the shit when people start making their own teams and the master sees that only 2 teams should exist?

ah also.


as a frequent master, there is also the problem of unnamed's who don't speak english or for whatever reason, I can't get them to pick a unique name

this problem raises its head when teamkilling or cheating happens so you can't tell who it is.

eihrul, yes I know you are going to or have already made a change to have the player # above the head of the player, but I'm not within a reasonable distance to sight which player is offending.

so, to conclude, could we have a /forcename # "newname"

yep, just like master isn't abused for kicking everyone.

how about letting the client set a flag to allow someone not to be forced into a new name. default install lets master do it, player switches it off once intelligent enough to do so.

anyway, i think you're just being a negative nancy.

How about that unnamed get a dialog box to change their name whenever they start sauerbraten?

Better idea no?

/setteam playerid team is a one-step for the better,This makes it so that it will be balanced if there are 8 evil vs 3 good guys.

It should pick a name at random from a list a shameful names, like Fuzzy, or Gimp, or Scooter.

Dude, you realize that your sitting in front of a gigantic calculator, right? A computer is just an enormous number-crunching machine with extra buttons. The math thing does not suck, the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair.

Forcing unnamed to choose a name is a good idea. It would probably be better to use a slightly non-random means of choosing names, so the probability of getting the same name is lower. I guess it depends on the size of the name list though.

by Acord on 07/17/2007 07:35, refers to #14

We should start a shameful names listing.

Here's a few:
Pickles
Sweety-pie
Scooter
Creampuff
Sissy
Asshat
Poopypants
Skippy

While we're at it: In the score-table, the team-score resulting from captured bases is displayed under "frags". I think this should not be named frags but "score" or something like that. And since the score-table already is sorted by number of (individual) frags, why not add the frags to the list (and get rid of packet jump which nobody uses).

I DEMAND this from you developers!
No, just kidding of course, thank you guys for the great game and listening to your players!

i like the idea of renaming frags to score and adding the real frags.

You're about a month late. CVS already fixed this quite a while ago. ;)

How about AssaultCube's naming system where duplicates have their client number at the end?
