Team Balancing...

Hi guys,

If it seems that the teams are kinda balanced over the next week or so, it is because I am trying out a new team balancer mutator I am working on.

Because I am limited in my available resources (ie players), I turn to the next best thing, you guys on the server.

I appreciate your patience, and I think in the end this team balancer will make alot of people happy.

Thanks

Re: Team Balancing...

Hi All,

I have a new version out on the server - Beta 2. If it spawns a download for any of you joiningup for the first time, please let me know here. This is a server side mut, and you should be downloading it... Anyway, let me know please if this happens.

And for those of you who are trying it out, here are 2 cool mutate functions you can try out....

mutate teams
Balances the teams

mutate skills
Provides a listing of current players and their respective skill scores.

Please feel free to try these 2 out, I would really like some feedback on this, and how it works. If you do provide me with something not working, please give me lots of details (such as who was on each team, players and bots on each team, and specifically what you did.

There is only so much that one person can do by themselves for a team balancer mod (lol). If there is another server out there that is interested in trying out this mutator, please e-mail me robster_craws@whoshack.com. What I am specifically looking for is a server that is usually full and has balancing issues already. If you don't have many people coming to your server, then you should wait until the official release. Also, you need to know how to setup mutators correctly, and be willing to provide me with useful feedback.

If you fit this bill, it would be greatly appreciated! Let me know!

Thanks

Re: Team Balancing...

Hi All,

I have sent you guys beta3 of the balancer. If anybody wants to download and try it out, it is here:

www.whoshack.com/files/ut2k4/mutators/SkillBalancerV1Beta3.rar
www.whoshack.com/files/ut2k4/mutators/SkillBalancerV1Beta3.txt

Just remeber that this is still a work in progress, and hasn't been really tested for a larger audience.

If you do have it running on your server, please let me know so I can come and check it out.

Thanks
