Server\event ideas?

[Scooba Da Bass]

Anyone got any suggestions for either changes to the server setup or for 'events' that can be organised?

Wondering if its Possible to start a small dogfighting knockout tournement, some great pilots among the BW subs. Suppose the winner would just get the knowledge of being "top dowg" though.

how about a jeep desert rally?
only u got to take 2 ppl crouching on the back seats =)

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Sounds like a pretty good idea, I dunno what the game/barrysworld stance is on prizes but maybe a small award for the winner could be got hold of.

Heh, I like both of those ideas.

My question would be how to do it properly, though - Scoobs, do you have access to rcon or something similary, would we have a password protected server for the evening, or something?

While the vast majority of people are happy to take part in such events, you always get one nob.

/me gets practicing on his aerial abilities

Or how about a relay rally? One person from each team at each base, has to swap with the driver as he comes in, cover each of the bases?

Jeep contact allowed!

Maybe a BW formation flying thing *grin* .... or ..... Human pyramid on a jeep! Oh, the possibilities.....

You've also got plane rallies - especially on gazala, one spotter plane following the other two as they race around under bridge checkpoints.

Or ... erm .. I dunno, something like the BattleAxe map, you have two people start in the middle, everyone else goes sniper, and the two runners have to cap the opposition flags. *shrug*

Or we could even just play the game normally!

I'll bring the beer.

We could possibly have a password protected server, it's not actually possible via rcon (yet) as it requires a config change, however people can be kicked pretty quickly with the remote console if they're causing trouble.

The dogfight tourny is a good idea and I'll deffo work out some rules and get this sorted. Jeep racing and the like sounds like a slightly less 'serious' idea so maybe a special retarded night for the stupid stuff, stunts and other silly events.

I was also thinking about 'theme' nights, things like sniper only on the close up city maps, or engineer only. Besides being pretty good fun, they are also good training for the weapons.

OOOOOH
A rally sounds like a giggle


Any other themes?
How about a straight forward game?

I'll see if I can rustle up some prizes too

Would also like to see a tank team fight tournament too(e.g 3 tanks per side)
I could actually enter into this one since I cant fly.

 

[jkl]

u can

Sniper nights would be a good idea, as that can be played with less players.

 

[cjc1665]

Tank jousts!

As pioneered by me and adams the other night.

I'm also keen on the return of the megagame ... or "any normal night" as it's know on other servers.

*grin*

Is there a switch to alter vehicle respawn times and how many can respawn? On some maps I'd like to see vehicles respawning immediately, like the planes on coral sea, to make those big tank wars possible.

Although I think this might require some thought to prevent unbalancing the maps even more than they already are.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I think there are variables for vehicle respawn time, I'll do a bit of research tomorrow and find out exactly what is possible.

The low number tank battles sound like a good idea especially if we can sort out some little teams and hold another tournament style affair.

I remember trying to rally with Horus on the Wake demo, it was pretty funny except for the sabotage by engineers on our course.

Obviously straight forward games will be the priority, but all these little individual 'skill' based games can only raise the standard of play and make the larger games more fun.
