Stats 'n Stuff

smilodon · October 27, 2002, 01:48:31 AM

Sadako makes a good point. I co ran a server in a previous life, and stats really caused a few problems. They work fine on a deathmatch server but are near pointless (and arguably counter-productive) on a team play based server. Some sort of stats that tell me which weapon I am using most, which map I play worst etc. might be useful, but other than that they serve no purpose....

Have I just made my first serious post on this forum??

......let's make all the maps from cheese and swap guns for fresah water fish.......

It would appear not

HI Greg

good to (see) you again.

and i agree. last night was a good example of the down side of stats. i was playing milita and getting a good kicking as CT. the sides were 3 in each team. but the T's had scores in the 10-0 range, so i don'thave to tell you our scores

Anyway. when i asked to have a bit of team balance, i was answed with "whats wrong with them" Only for 20 seconds later, to see /rank :x after every exra kill by the T's you would see "/top15"

so i say get rid of them. most people know how good they are, they don't have to see it in lights :? and after all it's a team game :roll:

Well neither me nor Albert wrote a single line with the words "/top15" or "/rank". As for what Trip did I can't say. The guys on your team checked the stats all the time and I thought that to be the reason when you switched to the T side.
I must have missed your message on team balance. I would have switched (and Albert also) if I had seen it, sorry.

Btw didn't DogMeat switch "/top15" and "/rank" off?

No! He just changed the spelling. There is now a "w" in "/rank"

I did change it, but it required a server restart for the change to take effect.

Armitage · October 27, 2002, 07:27:32 PM

sorry sadako. at the time I/we were getting raped. and all i keeped seeing was the /rank command. and i was getting pissed.

i agree the other night on office, we were having a good game, then a certain player joined [will remiain namless] typed /top15 said yes im top and then we around "mopping up" and at the start of every round it was /top15 instead of gettin on with being a team member

Oh and Doorman .... say /switch to turn off the spam.

Thanks OldBloke, I was just re-reading this thread when I came upon your 'Top-tip'. I finally get to the party. albeit several days late. :conf:

would it also be possible to remove "be carefull u have died 3 time in a row" type message... i find this one also could persuade people to hang back...as for the rest of the mod i find it very good

i liked the old stats system, where there was a page with your kills, bomb plantings, rank and info on guns and stuff on the deadman site. Not for being a frag-hooer but just to see if i was getting better at it, after all even playing PCS it is still some sort of indication. But like most other people i could see this as being encouraging frag-whorityness so i didn't have a problem with it going.

The other one i liked was 'Most Disruptive' as sometimes i got me name up there, a small reward for softening up the enemy for all you good players to kill off with a gentle poke on the nose before being brutally shot/blown up/knifed to bits...

But really i'm not that fussed as i think you know when you've did and gone done good for your team, but some way of seeing for yourself if your own accuracy fr'instance is getting better over a period of time might be good.

Oh, and something that says "Careful! You've been killed three times in row! But you are a far more pleasant person to be with than those nasty killer fragwhore monkeys, who are probably all cheating anyway..!"

:wink:
