teams

I vote for a mod that auto-scrambles the teams as soon as the "Waiting for people to join" goes away. Far too many times I see the same people on the same team, and most often its uneven (skillwise).

I don't know if there is one, but if not there should be:

Auto-balance by score, triggered when team scores total > x. For example, if x was set to 20 and the scores became so lopsided that one team had a total of 6 and the other 26, it'd pull someone with a high score from the winning team and swap them with a low scoring member of the losing team.

We'll see how it goes with me editing this candy mod. I would imagine that at some point I'll be able to write my own plugins like that.

Edit: Holy shit, there is one that does just that: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=683725

Edit too: There is also a plugin that will make players auto-join a team and pick a random class as soon as they connect to the server so they get scrambled.

I random class might be a bit much. I don't want to hear Katie whining in his annoying voice that he cant be a spy.
At least I don't have flies in my eyes.

They can change class. The plugin just makes sure that people are on a team right away so they get auto balanced.

I'm not sure about the instant-team plugin. I know several people including myself that just leave while in spectate and stay there for a couple of hours. When the map changes, they are still in spec, but with this plugin we'd be getting AFK's all over that were just auto-assigned to a team.

Yeah, you're probably right. I wish there was a plugin that would scramble the teams every two rounds or something like that.

Couldn't you modify the plugin that scrambles which team you join to do it every 2 rounds or so?
Life is whatever.

I'd just like a plugin that scrambles at the beginning. Many maps, people want the map changed by the time the 3rd round starts.

Also, I've never seen a successful vote scramble. It has to be over 65%? That is way too high.
I'd scramble myself every round, I just don't want to get pummeled.

Wintergreen, I have to ask - are you acting ignorant, or are you just that oblivious?

well...katie does equal a little boy. Even though her actions and pictures she's posted speak otherwise.
