Wow, next time, try knowing some information before you go dreaming crap up, especially that "Only 1v1" bullshait.
Wow...I do not appreciate your hostility, espcially coming from such a respected person in the ESF world as you Mr. Satan. What do you mean by "try knowing some information before you go dreaming crap up"? This thread is nothing but dreams, so why would I have to "know anything before dreaming it up," i mean it is just that, a dream. A dream is something that is most likely unrealistic and will never come true, so whats your point?
I though I had many good ideas, and they are well thought out, i just didnt take the time to explain them all. I never thought i was going to be criticised like this....
About the " 'Only 1v1' bullshait"... Many times in public servers, people just want to fight One on One without having other people interfere.
- Reasons people want to fight just 1v1: (1) Determine who is the better player (2) Training a n00b (3) Powerstruggle Fun (4) Clan Tryouts (5) Any other reasons you can think of...
- Reasons why people do not want to be interfered with while doing 1v1: (1)damage taken by 3rd party will affect outcome of 1v1 one battles, especially those relating to "who is better" type of battle, (2) 3rd Parties can intterupt training and cause Trainer and/or Trainee to die unneccesarily, (3) Its annoying being killed/harmed by 3rd parties while sitting there charging for a PS or while standing still during a PS [not that I like to sit there and have random PSs in Public servers, but hey, some people do], (4) 3rd party interference affects and interrupts Clan tryouts, and (5) its just plain annoying getting hit in the back or turned into Candy when trying to fight someone just 1v1. Basically, all those reasons can be summed up by saying: Some people do not play with the some kind of morals and respect as others do, and therefore there should be server commands that reinforce the Server rules/policies.
I know, I know...half these problems can be fixed by just password locking the server. Well, in my case, I run a Small dedicated public server in which I like leaving open to the public. I feel very bad when I "lock out" many of the server "regulars." I want people coming back to my server and I want to be able to get to know most of the people who play in my server frequently. Many times while I am having clan tryouts or training sessions, there will be others in the server. Most of the time they behave and mind to themselves pretty well, allowing the tryouts/training to run smoothly. However, every now and then an attack will from the other people in the server will some how cause damage and/or kill me and whoever else I am working with at the time, which can cause something like tryouts to have to start from the beginning (which is not fun and a waste of time). I thought it would be nice if there was some command that could prevent people who are engaged in a 1v1 battle from taking on damage from someone who is not involved in the battle. Well, all that was the thinking behind my 1v1 Suggestion. I hope it sounds a little bit more reasonable as far as the idea is concerned; i know its not very reasonable as far as ever being implemented as I bet it would be a pain in the arse to code that.
*Edit and slitely offtopic*- Mr. Satan, sorry if I came off weird/pissed off...Its 4:52am and I slept only from 11pm to 1:30am, haha. Thats cool that your a junior also. This year sucks. I wish my school had a good programing class. Hey, what AMX plugins did you alter to ESF? I need to upgrade my server a bit with some new plugins and more maps....
