PS5 back to success ...

by **landser** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 20:29

after adding a massive bot army of 26 (bot disconnects if human connects ...) we got today an constant amount of around 18 players in the afternoon hours (17 - 19 oÂ´clock) ... than the server crashed -.-
check the PS5 server utilisation: http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serve ... tilisation

keep on joining PS5 and fill it on this way with players

btw: level 26+ admins got two new commands:
!botvshuman and !botspec

botvshuman will put every bot in the axis team - so you get the chance to do a nice human - bot fight ...

with doing the command botspec you will move all the bots to spec mode ... so the server seens to be full but only humans will play ... (suggested to use only if at least 10 players are on servers)

after each map the bots will come back in the teams again ...

also spawnkilling is allowed if at least 2 bots are in the game ... (realy funny if 5 humany cook and knife 20 bots -.-)

i also renamed the bots ... they are called now like important battles of the 2 WW (hoping that most players will not see any difference and think they are humans

)

as soon we got a stable player amount i will remove the bots and add some nice maps ...

see ya on PS5

EDIT: lol ... server crashed but 20 humans on now -.- thx PS2 redirection

i think this is a bad point, spawnkill shouldn't be allowed, even not against bots. it's a important rule in my eyes and ppl will probably get banned on the other PS servers for it cuz they thoght simply it's allowed...

Icy the problem is that if bots are on they will spawn kill :S
There is no way arround that

mh ye i know u can't protect bots from doin spawnkills, but it's no reason to allow it for players imo. will just confuse our whole rulebook / rules on the servers.

by **landser** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 20:51

its only at PS5 ... and it seems only to be for some days more ... its running damn well

26 bots setted and only 2 bots are on (=> 24 players)

as soon we reach 42 players for at least 1 week i will put the bots off ...

but anyway ... on if its 18 vs 5 theres spawnkilling, otherwise you got no chance to do it -.-

and i also think, if somebody noticeses the rule that spawnkilling is allowed on PS5, they will also notice the rule that spawnkilling is forbidden on other PS servers and follow it ...

anyway: gimme some days / 1 - 2 week maximal and its changed to a normal PS server

by **icefrost** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 20:53

we can also change it to a well visited server without spawnkills, no?

i don't like the idea to allow spawnkilling on 1 server and not on the others. same rules for all servers imo (except etpro).

by **landser** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 21:05

i added a poll ... so the visitors of PS5 can decide

i hope its ok for you icy?

NO

Ehm why do you let everyone vote about fixed community Rules?

And if bots spawnkill > turn them off, i dont know anyone who likes to play with bots... seriously :crazy:

You dont need bots to fill up a server, have a word with Nem or Storm they have some useful tips

by **landser** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 21:53

bots dont spawnkill but they sometimes stand in their own spawn ...

nvm ... PS5 is filling up with players again and i think i will remove the rule SK forbidden -.-

i know there are some ways to get without bots some players ... but i am doing it allways with bots ... its easy and fast

But when ur favourite server is empty then u can train ur skills with bots.. in fact u learn how to fast kill them (coz they fast kill u) u can learn new moves... aiming on head.. u can learn with makin them fools

(if it was even hard ;p)

And if there on PS servers play smart ppl (they know rules, they play on couple of servers) they will know that sk is forbidden..

but finally.. lets vote..

my decison after some time on thinkin about it is disallow sk..

by **icefrost** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 23:49

think it's even not word to vote about a long time ago decided sticky community rule.

this "spawn kill is allowed rule" would only be active for maximal 1 week ... i didnt think this setting would get such a big resistance :/

ok ... SK dissallowed on PS5 again

Now its time to wait and see what happens.

@lands i saw some -spawnkill map configs for omnibot on the internet.
Ill try and dig up a few for you

no, addy ... you missunderstood me ... bots dont spawnkill, but if its e.g. 5 humans vs 20 bots, then the 5 humans fight the 20 bots back to spawn :/

but nvm ... bots should be off soon and there will be more mixed teas

by **X-avier** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 8:55

Euhm just a tip/hint :wink:

Why don't set 5-10 admins on ps5? * for 1 week.. and just put max of 2-3 on each server @ ps1/2/3 .. always 7-8 on ps1 and/or ps2

so ..

Just put some admins there and ppl will play..

Thats the way it works i think..

ya, the admin way is nice, but it takes a long time until the server would be full ... with the bots the server will be full in the next days

at 10 oÂ´clock in the morning there were allready 10 players, and we also got some regulars :lol:

EDIT: ya but the admins are not like bots because i can "order" the bots to come to PS5, but i dont want tell the admins to go on this server at this time ... the admins should visist the server they like most

PS5 back to success ...

Spawnkilling on PS5
