    Bytesmee got a reaction from Starblaster64 in !unusual Plugin Bug/Removal Request   
    Off top of my head, Sun-On-A-Stick reverts but keeps fireballs, so "Spam-Time is a go!". Heavy's GRU loses its HP drain and reverts to Marked-For-Death. The plugin simply interferes, and Starblaster can't really do anything about it.

    Hopefully inspired to be better, the bar is pretty low...
    Amanda is plenty experienced at VSH, is on lots when I've played (dunno how GG2Me hasn't seen you lots), and from some situations I've seen looks to be able to think maturely. Granted the power doesn't get to her head I'd think she'd be fine with admin powers.

    Bytesmee reacted to Starblaster64 in If their is one thing you could change about Phantom-Gamers what would i be?   
    As for my own suggestion on what I would change:
     
    Add an Anti-Ping Mask plugin on the VSH server (Dodgeball doesn't really need it, but you should put it on there anyway to discourage ping masking). There's literally zero reasons to use a ping mask other than avoiding the ping limit. While it's not necessarily detrimental to other players to have a ping mask (or high ping for that matter) when you're facing off against the Hale, it is seriously annoying when you are the Hale. In addition:
    You're hiding what your connection to the server is like, preventing other players from making a judgement of how far in advance they should make actions to account for your lag compensation. (i.e. 'range') You're screwing up your own lag compensation. (i.e. melee hitreg) If your connection is already bad, ping masking will just worsen your condition. Depending on particular factors, ping masking may cause you to appear to 'teleport' short distances as you move on other players' clients, making it extremely difficult to hit you at times.

    Regarding your first point, there is an  Admin/Player abuse, sub-forum, as I'm sure you're aware. You should encourage people on the Hale server to use it or tell them to PM an Admin/Staff member they trust if they want to be anonymous. Also inform people how to record .dem files if they don't already know, much simpler and faster than getting people to record footage.
    It might be a good idea to compile a list of all the Admins/Mods on all of Phantom's servers (if it already exists I can't find it) and figure out who's doing what.
    "i want the staff to abide by them.", the best Admins will know when to be strict in enforcing rules and when to be a little lax. Unfortunately I can't say I've encountered many of such Admins on PG's VSH server. A good Admin will also know how to handle a situation where the rules do not explicitly decide the outcome.
     
    Second point, I fully agree. The Price Check plugin is extremely frustrating, especially for players with poorer rigs/connections (the 'freeze' tends to last marginally longer for them). If it's still seeing average use by players, then I would at least suggest changing the updates to happen less frequently or only on map start/end if possible.

    Hi, you've inspired to become an Admin from Moderator.
     
    You need to follow these steps for us to recognize your capability and also understand if you're ready. Why do you want to become Admin instead of Moderator? What have you done to make yourself recognized by the community? Age? Are you prepared to be yelled at? What have you learned about the server when your a moderator?  
    Please fill out all the questions in detail and proper answers, if you make something up and caught you will be demoted.

    Bytesmee reacted to Starblaster64 in Thing you would like to see fixed   
    I'll go over this again later tonight (hopefully).
     
    ------
     
    //General
    (Low Priority) Fix the Store assigning you a random title every time you join the server. Add an Admin override to the command "ff" to stop players from flooding the chat with Friendly Fire messages. An Anti Ping-Mask plugin. There's no point having a ping kicker if people can just evade it with minimal effort. Remove (or fix) the Advanced Infinite Ammo plugin. There's an issue where Admins join the servers with AIA enabled on them and they don't have the permissions to disable it on themselves (Not an issue on Dodgeball, I don't think). Compile and install the latest version of SourceMod Anti-Cheat (Click zip at the top to download). You'll want to compile at least the following modules (Though I'd look at what each one does on the wiki as well): smac smac_aimbot smac_autotrigger smac_client smac_commands smac_eyetest smac_speedhack //Saxton Hale
    Put a round timer on the regular VSH server, rounds on bigger maps can take so long at times that people start leaving the server. (Low Priority) Improve how GameME points are earned (if possible). (Low Priority) Compile the latest stable version of VSH on GitHub with the 'OVERRIDE_MEDIGUNS_ON' define enabled to: Allow players to level up/show off Strange Mediguns. Fix CBS, Vagineer and Easter Bunny not playing important sound files (Like rage and superjump).

    Is there a direct need for the Advanced Infinite Ammo plugin? Outside of the brief periods of end-of-rounds where it honestly isn't used to much effect, admins are more affected by mid-game bugs. Far too often I'm provided with unlimited uber and Demo charges that cannot be disabled except through supposedly map changes. I think this plugin needs serious reconsidering.

    Yeah, these seem like good suggestions, anything to help with moderating the servers.
    Do engineers really lose points though? I thought it simply cancelled out the points given for building so you can't farm by self destructing.

    Bytesmee got a reaction from Starblaster64 in What changes would you like to see   
    Actually, an AFK Hale slayer would be nice. A lot of people (either legit away or simply don't want to play) waste time leaving everyone trying to kill Hale as fast as possible and 'freepoint'.

    Bytesmee reacted to Starblaster64 in Server Plugin Updates etc.   
    You are correct. The idea is you gain points for constructing a building, get extra points by getting kills/teles etc. to cancel the cancelling when those buildings are destroyed. So in VSH sentry guns will (generally) gain/lose you no points, dispensers will gain you some points (extinguishing Pyros who Flare themselves, somewhat abusable), and teleporters will gain you the most points at 1 per successful teleport (unless I'm mistaken).
     
    Note that when I say 'points' I am referring to GameME points, not in-game points. I think this is where the ranking system needs to be tweaked the most for VSH. You could get top damage every round as Demoman, defending your team's Engineers and their buildings with sticky traps etc. and only lose points by doing so, because GameME isn't designed for VSH (or other custom gamemodes for that matter), it's designed for regular gamemodes.
     
    Right now, the stats are heavily in Hale's favour. You get triple points for every kill you make, you get an extra point for killing a Medic, two extra points for killing a Spy, and an increasing amount of points as your killstreak gets higher. Not to mention destroying buildings and a guaranteed 10 points from MVP #1 whether you win or lose, as you're the only person on your team. The only time you can contest this amount of point gain is as a Medic, with 5 points per ubercharge and 1 point for every 600HP healed (not 100% sure about this).
     
    Now I'm not too familiar with customizing GameME, but as far as I know detecting how much damage you've done per round may  require too much work. However, tweaking currently existing tracked actions shouldn't be terribly difficult. For instance, things like Non-Rocket Airshots, Mid-Air Airshots, Stuns and Eating lunchbox items to restore HP give no points right now. Although giving them a point value won't fix the problem completely, it would help a little bit at least for the classes they affect. In terms of helping out the Engineer directly, I can't think of any ideas unfortunately.
