B3

[Blunt]

Thanks Whitey for sorting the admin tools out:D
This is what we got
Any admins who weren't on tonight and require activating on the server, either catch me in game or steam message me and we can join the server and sort you out (only takes a min)
Have a look at the admin commands via my link or Oth's thread

Tonight we managed to turn off the tk auto ban feature which made life a little easier:)

If you have any tips, suggestions or requests please post here

[Othbarty]

It seems to work good, and with a little tweaking it could work great

I think we should leave the TK module disabled for now, it gave us more trouble than it was worth IMO.

The warning system needs a revamp, as do the b3 rules messages that pops up every now and again. TL also mentioned that the timezone was incorrect (CST instead of GMT). Probably easy to fix

Warnings could be something like

Do not nadespam!

Do not wallspam!

Do not bunnyhop!

Watch your language! Bad language will result in a kick or ban

Follow your objective and don't run around fraghunting!

Use only English on this server!

Rough list to get the discussion going

It could also be helpful to have the list of warning IDs and what the player warned receives handy, since typing !warn player lang doesn't show what message is sent to player.

Also, perhaps setting the most useful commands to level 60 (Such as warnclear etc), since this might be viewed to be a in-game replacement for RconMax? I suppose it is there to make it easier to admin

Does that mean we get rid of the standard -

"Do not Bunny Hop - we hate bunnies!" ?

Always bugged me for some reason that  :flirty:

[Whitey]

I've modified the config to reflect what Oth had posted as it was better than the defaults.

Here's what we currently have for messages we can spam:

I'd quite like to see a 'no air strike or frag grenades within 20 seconds of round start rule' added.  
To my mind that ruins a game when you get wiped out at spawn.  I play on another server (?aTg) where this rule is in place and it works wonders.

I was going to say the same, however, my thoughts is that 10 seconds is usually enough, and the nade throwing at the start will be deemed as spamming as it would only be a guess, although anything that helps prevent it is worth adding :g:

[Soon Jung]

Agreed with TL on that! Think we talked about it on the server and decided to do that one.

[Snokio]

Also, whilst we're at it:
 
" ^3Check out our forum at http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum "
 
Why not advertise the other games we support abit more, I think we need to give more of a reason to check out our forum?
 
such as "join the dMw community for FREE, we host L4D, dMr, CSS, ARMA II, WOW. Visit us at www.deadmen.co.uk for more info"

[Othbarty]

Don't you mean Racing and CoD4?

I too think it would be a good idea to promote our other games as well. Good call

I agree we need this as we jump on people for doing it, should be fair to warn them first!

!warn player as10 is a warning... :devil:

[BrotherTobious]

But we should have it public knowledge it a bit harsh to have a go if they didnt know.  Also first time on the server and the admin has a word.  I think it would be better to have a message first then the admins can get involved.

[Blunt]

Ideally we need to be a "light touch" admin style.
If we can make the ethos clear by a few server messages, we will only get involved in "educating" the people that miss the messages.
Our server should be fun to play on, that is the bottom line.
And that means for the admins too.

[Whitey]

The TK module has been removed from the config and B3 restarted.

I'll wait for a PM or post from Blunt on any other changes we should make to the B3 setup.

[BrotherTobious]

Just an Idea can we have added to private server then we can play around with it.

And then we can migrate the options over to the open server.
