Finally !!

[Cain]

Well I think we have finally gotten our DOD:S server where I wanted it to be.

It has taken almost two months and a lot of time, work and a lot of testing, so I appreciate everyone who helped us test over the last two months...

I confirmed yesterday that people (CLRs, and more importantly non-CLRs) LOVE custom Maps, and most people prefer FF on. If you look at the stats you will see yesterday was BY FAR our biggest day in terms of player connections....


Here are some of the things we have that are non-standard but make our server more fun:

SourceMod - the mother of all plugins, allows very cool Admin functions, serves as a base for many other plugins, and provides player feedback like nextmap, timeleft, ff status, and so forth.

FF on, with Reflect Damage, and a TK Manager.

Custom maps on a fast re-direct with compressed files. (that new Saints re-make is really fun!)...

Dead Talk - you can always talk to everyone on your team with voice whether you are dead or not.

Psycho Stats, and an in-game interface to check your rank and the top 10.

Scrolling text announcing server, settings and rules.

I had a plugin that told you what Country the players were connecting from, but I don't think anyone cared about it so I pulled it. If it gets updated to show what State they are connecting from, I would install that.

Advanced Weapons Logging for DODS to include headshots.. Our friend Pablo actually created this. DODS does not have a HS event, nor does it do weapons logging or hit location, all that is an add-on to make the stats function properly.

We now have custom sprays enabled, with a new plugin that allows an admin to see who sprayed any particular spray, then remove it and punish the sprayer if necessary. (Vito we all need cool, custom Sprays now!!)

I am considering allowing map-voting, provided I can make it work the way we want. At present if only 3 people out of 32 voted and two voted yes, the map would change to what they voted. I'll keep looking for map voting such that the majority of the server would have to vote affirmatively for the map to change.

I'm also checking into SourceTV.

Any other ides or suggestions, I am certainly open to listen to and consider.

Thanks for all the hard work Cain

The server is doing great with a great group of players and lots of new faces joining in the fun!!!

DoD:S is a really a fun game to play. Mainly in part to your hard work Cain.

Agreed, I've been having a blast, see a lot of people pretty regularly and there's only been one time where the server was really dead that I was on. DougBob and I shot each other for a while Thanks for all the time, hard work, and money you put in to this Cain, the server definitely kicks ass!

Good Job Cain! It seems like you have it tuned just right. Boy it really stinks being alone in my in laws house with a 57 ping and a laptop that isn't working.

Dead Talk - you can always talk to everyone on your team with voice whether you are dead or not.

Be aware that if you kill me I am directing my team to where you are.

I thought there was a plugin that only changed the map if a minimum number of people voted.
Maybe I am thinking of CSS.

And all the work we've put into the server (especially you "Uncle Cain") really showed yesterday.
We had a great crowd ALL DAY long and I don't think there is any better time to say, I am so proud to be a part of this server and community .

Cain for making gaming enjoyable for all of us.

P.S.
I'll give my DaD a holler about those custom sprays.

Ahhh, that is you ?? You are in the top 50 of our stats today !! I reset the stats to only count the ones since I installed your new weapons logging plugin that logs headshots...

Send me a PM when you get a chance, Sirex and I cannot get the streaming PS stats to work properly....

Take care my friend, and thank you for the HS logging, I'm going to keep bumping the Thread on Allied Modders..
