[DOWN] Capture the Flag Server (Guns!)

[BlueFireIceUn]

server is too much lagging. What wrong?

[rubenwardy]

Some players named Katniss_Everdeen and Madeleine could not connect to the server because of "sexual content" in their name. If it could be fixed... ;)
For the anti-spam feature, it could become important because of some players I saw recently, so if anyone has tips to make this mod/feature on the IRC-bot or in the server mods...

The complete ban message was "sexual content" and didn't mention about their name.
Katniss_Everdeen was originally banned as "Ssms". They were basically asking for sex from other players.
Looking at the logs, ssms/Katniss_Everdeen also tried to circumvent her ban. The ban expires on the 9th, as it was probably a one off joke.

Madeleine was originally banned as "myms". They joined the game and immediately started swearing and asking who wants to date them. The ban message was "Swearing, dating, obviously violating rules on purpose".
Looking at the logs, myms/Madeleine also tried to circumvent her ban. The ban is a perma-ban, as I don't want these sorts of players that go out of their way to break the rules.

I have to edit what I said. Swearing is part of the players language. Avoiding it would surely permit to kick rude people but would also kick many players for a "Fuck it" or a "Shit". Even if they're insulting theirself, it's part of the game.

The aim of moderation is to make the server a better environment for others. I understand swearing in frustration, I've done it before on server. Both before I started moderating, and during the day I was away, I got complaints like these:

<SomeParent> my son is seven. is there better place where he doesn't see bad words?

[IceAgeComing]

There is a player called cute-boy with speedhack on right now.
Spoils the fun.
You can ask some other players too if you need confirmation of his actions....

Yeah, IceAgeComing is right. He had like infinite sprint, I think that cause he can "fly" and goes so fast

[Kpenguin]

I would like to have some sort of way to mute specific players in the chat. htur and horses have been chatting nonsense and it's starting to annoy me. I've asked them to kindly stop, but they usually give me the :P emoji in response.
I agree with what Prof-Turbo said about spam chatting.

Keep on making the server better Ruben.

You can use /ignore username
Also, check your PMs on the forum, Kpenguin.

Thomas-S is now a moderator.

[BlueFireIceUn]

There is another guy using same cheat than cute-boy. It's HitMan and he did it many times

[Minetest Sam]

Ruben their is a guy name ElysianX and he is saying that BlueFireUn has hacked but we all saw in the game that he didn't hack and it was little bit of lag and he was spamming that he hacked,So please look into that.

[BlueFireIceUn]

Oh My God, now people thinks I'm cheating -_- Guys, I don't fly, I jumped. He kills too fast, I didn't one shot, I hit you 3 times with iron sword. I don't go too fast, I followed UltimateNoob but never touched him so stop say I cheat

[Minetest Sam]

Dude I am with you.DOn't worry you will not get banned I am hey

[Minetest Sam]

Ruben, please tell if you update your server , I really like it

[Sky27]

This server is the best server of all history,but,can you put a maximum of 25 players please?The server is always full of players :D

[PlasmaHam]

Though the server is frequently full, adding more players is not the answer. More players create lag as well as make it harder to capture the flag, due to more people playing. Simply put, you don't want a crowded CTF game.

I think that RubenWardy is planning in the future of adding a second server with similar gameplay as CTF but different. Like castle defense, multiple flags, city wars, etc.

[Sky27]

ok,sorry RubenWardy and Plasma

[kaadmy]

I would love to see team vs. team battles across deserts, forests, oceans, tundra, etc.
Maybe pre-made maps as schematics, like de_dust2 with voxels :)

ideas for gameplay enhancement:

0-stamina and sprinting? fighting and running depletes stamina, with no stamina you cant sprint
1-killing enemy players gives player points, when you die points reset to 0
2-with points you can "buy" better weapons from team chest.Chest would contain infinite weapons of each kind, but you would need to spend points to take it from chest
3- this should be only way to get better weapons besides crafting and picking it up to reward playing the game
4-very slow health regeneration, 1 heart every 10 seconds or less? Now you must "suicide" to restore health cause apples are gone quickly
5-to prevent griefing make it possible to teamkill player removing blocks near base for 3 seconds only after removal of blocks

[prof-turbo]

0 : I think it creates lags.
1 : You've got my total disagree
2 : This would unbalance the game even more, the first kill would give a certain advantage to the killer instantly
3 : So you would HAVE to kill to get better tools ? Capture the flag is not just a dumb deathmatch, you know ?
4 : Slow health regeneration is already planned, nice to see that many people ask for it.
5 : Hem. Hem. Do you know that grieffing arrives also by posing blocks ? What would arrive if you wanted to rebuild a structure and that you got killed when removing some parts of it ?

Please think twice
You're already nice :)

0- So 1/2 sprint go when you have flag the,
1-it would be too hard then to wi points if you get killed at the end
2-it's not bad idea but I think more about private chest where is better stuff
3-I don't aprove that
4-it'w too easy then to don't get killed
5-I would prefer back /vote-kick (name) (reason)

[Alienant1]

I like the idea of health regeneration (perhaps only near home base or in specified spots) but maybe instead of unbalancing it by changing the items available you could improve total health for more kills.

I think it would benefit from a variety of hand-to-hand weapons with different swing speeds and damages.

Also, swords are automatically much better than guns because of their swing rate so could you reduce the swing rate of melee weapons (or increase that of ranged weapons).

I definitely agree with short-lived sprints.

And a more varied map with some houses/structures automatically generated at the start of the game.

[rubenwardy]

I've been wanting to make a weapons mod with lots of swords (european, japanese), pikes and non-throwing spears, maybe. But needs to be well balanced and consistent (everything should have its place, and a cost)

[prof-turbo]

Swords are better than guns, true. But swords have a short range, so it's up to you to keep distance @Alienant1 :)

@rubenwardy : +1 for the deep melee weapons mod. Hope it will see the light some day :)

[Alienant1]

I agree. Only 1 thing, pistols have a very short range and are the most common gun in chests, so they are a bit useless. I like the new additions of team chests and crossbows.

[Dragonop]

I don't like the idea of stamina and sprinting, as it would give some advantage to certain users. Maybe some kind of "boost" that when activated you go fast for half a second, or something like that, then you need to wait for the stamina bar to refill to use it again.

[Minetest Sam]

You should add that player can make his own chest

[prof-turbo]

@Minetest Sam : this was removed because of spammers using chests. Also I don't think filling the whole map with chests would be a good idea. I'm repeating myself, but think twice !

@Dragonop : https://github.com/rubenwardy/capturetheflag/issues/7
Using fast configuration would allow every player to use sprint.

@Alienant : Pistols are very useful when you're running after someone and cannot touch him with a sword, and they're made for that :)

[Alienant1]

why does sprint give an advantage to some? I thought everyone can use it.
