Possible cheating? o_O

BombSki · « **Reply #101 on:** November 13, 2007, 11:23:34 am »

its the bugged serversided anticheat feature. many people get kicked without actually cheating, and ive barely seen it banning a real cheater, but i guess that could be because its disabled on my servers.. hmm.. ^_^

As far as I know we've turned off the anti cheat kick. Only BE now.

spkka · « **Reply #103 on:** November 13, 2007, 12:23:27 pm »

yes, anti cheat kick is off its only BE.

BombSki · « **Reply #104 on:** November 13, 2007, 12:32:02 pm »

Bombski; will do, once the server is empty again (which hardly ever happens nowadays) :p

And Norbo, thank you, glad you enjoy it

BombSki · « **Reply #107 on:** November 14, 2007, 11:32:24 am »

why do u need the server to be empty to check logs? ^_^ and yea.. its only empty if the map has been bugging or your script is out of memory

lol

Because I have to log in with a remote admin tool which causes severe lag for everyone playing :p

Don't you have ftp access o.O

spkka · « **Reply #110 on:** November 15, 2007, 08:03:35 am »

i have

Doens't matter that much for the pings tho... I think its spiking once when you login remote

sai`ke · « **Reply #111 on:** November 15, 2007, 08:33:39 am »

Yes it matters man. Mstsc sends you the whole desktop background of the computer when you log in. That's your spike right there!

BombSki · « **Reply #112 on:** November 15, 2007, 10:06:09 am »

he means the FTP doesnt cause a spike, and remote connecting only when you connect..

The gameplay seems to get really unbalanced because the following is possible:
The enemy takes the bunker right next to your base and sets up a stat gun. It's near unplayable when that happens. Just bullet curtain after bullet curtain.

spkka · « **Reply #114 on:** November 17, 2007, 09:25:04 am »

well were kinda working on that. Most of the time its because most maps have too little cover imo.
its not impossible tho. Might make the statgun a bit less strong. Like overhead faster

Admittedly, it can be really hard but try to use meatshields to get your saboteur through and try to let your general slip through in the confusion. It often helps to time things with the radioman and to have somebody with some heavy duty bunker clearing material like a SPAS or a chainsaw. Also, a strike or paratrooper can deliver just enough confusion to break the line. On most maps, it can also force the statter to leave his statgun for a while and the key is then to keep destroying the engineer so he can't rebuild. Snipers can also be really effective for this.

Also, the situation you sketch happens in the first place due to a weak defense. On almost all maps it's possible to rush during the start of the match and take at least one bunker towards the enemy. It is of vital importance that you hold that bunker at all cost and don't let a general slip through.

We have files that contain the number of flags on red and blue capped on each map to study potential imbalance. The numbers are as follows:
ttw_junkyard: 124 vs 105
ttw_limbo: 125 vs 138
ttw_myst: 135 vs 141
ttw_nomans: 156 vs 116
ttw_rage: 127 vs 140
ttw_village: 116 vs 145
ttw_anoxi: 118 vs 109
ttw_coldmorning: 143 vs 128
ttw_crecent: 181 vs 171
ttw_gloryhill: 153 vs 149

So as you can see, apart from nomans and village the balance is pretty good considering this is an open server. Another thing to note is that stationary gun kills do not increment score (except for the engineer), so the statgunners really don't get much out of it except defense.

Added autologin. Multiple players asked for this.

The radioman is now based on a supply points system. As a a radioman you will get points every few seconds and with it you can buy various supplies.

The options are:
Grenade pack [2 pts]
Cluster grenades [3 pts]
Bulletproof Vest [8 pts]
4 LAWS [8 pts]
Airstrike [10 pts]
Paratrooper [10 pts]
Missile that destroys your own statgun [10 pts]
Missile that destroys enemy statgun [12 pts]

Also new: Missiles to destroy your own or enemy statgun. Note that the statgun has to be targettable from the sky. If placed inside a bunker, the statgun cannot be destroyed.

Fixed:
Stay put --> Don't move
Radioman's tap messages can now automatically be heard by all your teammates.

Enjoy.
