Automatic team balancer.
« on: June 30, 2006, 08:07:57 am »
Whenever there's 2 or more players difference between teams, teams would balance automatically by randomly choosing from the team which has a big advantage to switch to another team.

I couldn't care less if it's a flagger who gets picked or anything, because it is his own fault for not balancing teams and not looking around if teams are balanced or not.

The current team balancer-feature (which is a server-side option, I assume) just won't do it. It's too easily exploitable to make even so teams unbalanced.

Is that so hard to create? If it is, what makes it so hard? This would be a server side-option as well.

And no, I couldn't find another topic regarding this topic from this forum. There might be one but it's already buried so deep so it's as much as worthless to bump it.

There are multiple server scripts (I guess you could call them mods) which do this.

I think it should take the person lowest on the scoreboard for transfer...  and never the flagger.  but that's just me :-\

instead of scripts it should be burn't into soldat, so when you open options and then click team balance it literally means that teams must be balanced.

Yeah, and I like the idea of the lowest guy being switched, however it might turn into to where the person keeps getting constantly switched as people join and it could be annoying. The servers are stupid, especially trying to kick 'cheaters'..

Having the newest person switch is a good idea, especially for those times when a person switches from one of two even teams to make them uneven again. It'd be nice to see something like this for a change:

Major Camper joined Bravo. 6/6
Major Camper left game. 6/5
Major Camper joined Alpha.  7/5
Major Camper auto-transferred to Bravo. 6/6
