Number of teams in teammatch
« on: February 09, 2009, 01:19:00 pm »
It annoys me that there always seems to be 4 teams in teammatches on public servers, even if the map is designed for two teams only. I think it's very strange that you still can't choose which teams players should be able to choose from.

F12 barely needs explanation. Another thing I didn't understand why it wasn't implemented in the first place.

(Box for number of teams in the teammatch numbering 2-4)

A very strong F12 from me. I've always found the extra teams in TDM a hindrance at times for many servers and games, I'd be more than happy to see an option to turn off some of these teams. Even scripts can be flawed.

Never thought of that too, but F12.
Good suggestion.

Bumpity bump bump.

Now that new version of Soldat is coming up, this is a good opportunity to add this feature. Thats why I'd like to bring this to your attention once again.

For the past week I've been voted out of TDM servers about 5 times because I joined green or yellow, while others were either blue or red. So what's the point of even having 4 teams?
Setting number of teams should be a quick and easy addition.

I apologize for double post (I thought they'd be merged :/ ), but I didn't see another way of reviving this thread.

Would be great for scripting gamemodes where you want two teams but no flag.

Yeah, do that, and just add an admin command to add/remove a team if no one is on it. Also add option into main menu to turn on/off teams.

If a team is removed - how is someone going to join it if they want to? I think simply having a "# of teams" in server settings is enough.
Also, uh.. TDM with teams off = DM?

It's uber simple to make a script that forces players to join only alpha/bravo.
Having less teams means less possibilities (for scripts, new sub-game mods,etc).

Uber-simple to those who actually know how to script. The fact is - most TDM servers don't have that script but players still play on either red or blue and kick those who join other teams. That's why it would be nice to have this as a built-in feature.

No it doesn't, not when you can choose how many teams there are.
