[PB] Server Suggestions

[TeeKaaY]

Remove the Spectator List plugin. I shall explain why below:

Before I start explaining what the actual problem is, I need to explain how stuff work inside those plugins. In AmxModX there is a thing called HUD Messages. That allows plugins to show text anywhere on the screen as HUD Messages. HUD Messages has 4 channels, each channel can hold some text but you cannot show two different texts from the same channel. If text A is showing on channel 2, and then another plugin requests to show text B on channel 2 as well, text A will be removed and text B will replace it. Now that I explained how HUD Message work, I will explain the real problem.

UltimateJailBreak uses a set channel for different things so you can have different texts on the screen at the same. For example, on the top of your screen there is a message that displays what day it is, the number of the day, as well the number of Ts, CTs and the commander. Another example is the HUD health that displays your accurate health (even if it is above 255). Now on to the problem, the Spectator List plugin displays an HUD Message on the top right of your screen including the names of all the players that are spectating a certain player. The problem is that Spectator List needs to keep refreshing the message so the accurate list of players are shown. I have not looked at the code of that plugin but I am guessing it refreshes itself every 0.1 seconds, that's 10 times a second. I am also guessing that the list is not using a set channel for the text, but rather letting AmxModX choose the next channel on the list. When that happens, AmxModX will loop through all channel starting from 0 to 3 and so on. And since the the message is displayed 10 times a second, it is canceling other HUD Messages such as the top text that we talked about earlier.

Spectator List does not offer any important features and can be removed with minimal effect. While Spectator List is installed, it is hard for the Commanders to know how many Prisoners are alive, it's also hard for the players to know there accurate HP on special days, ... etc

the reasons u listed tony are something we can live without, iif there would be performance issues id remove it. i will probably anyway as the feature is nice but its not necessary same as knowing exact hp or how many prisoners are alive

Nightcrawler day should be fix, Its so laggy when we play that day.

Well you can live without the spectator list plugin can't you? Why break two things for one worthless thing?

This spectator plugin also makes it difficult for normal players to record hackers.
You start spectating them and they realize someone is onto them.

Then use a dd2 server suggestion board, not jb....
And no, it is a nice feature which we will not be removing from dd2, there are plenty reasons why we will not.

When the timer hits 0:00 , the people who are dead reconnects and rebels and ruins the LR or when someone joins late. Fix that bug or whatever.

can we have these skins again?
(Image removed from quote.)

Do you by any chance have the source of the skin @Intrepid~RyANNNNN. ♫ ?

[Amine]

Add rtv
Add /freeday its helpful if a ct want to give a fd since the fd guy doesnt count as a remaining alive t and you can split ts into 2 teams
make sd start at 10/7 min not 5 min.
change the t model it is the same for a long time I want a change or a way to buy another model for your hands (permenatly)

blackjack and gangs won't be a good mix. Its very easy to rank up huge amount of points with blackjack, and if gangs is installed, it would be very easy to max your gang up to max level.

Maps I would like to be added : (I tested each map)


1.jail_leyawiin: http://gamebanana.com/maps/192130
This map has a lot of great games, great and fun map.
2. jb_glaitura : http://gamebanana.com/maps/192328
This map surprised me it doesn't look good in the screenshots but trying it out was  fun I can see a lot of funny moments in this map (con: no football field) (IT HAS A FUCKING PIANO)
3. jail_blue: http://gamebanana.com/maps/194243
When I was trying it I was shocked because of how good it is, a new map published 2 weeks ago has EVERY thing,  this map should be added right now.
4. jb_community http://gamebanana.com/maps/188451
This map is similar to sunny but has better games. (would play this time over sunny)







Green=Stay, Red=Remove


1 :  jb_projetocs.
2 : jail_armageddon
3 :  jail_2017_mr :
This map has a weird bug where you can fall into the ground, the only way to die is to type kill/get slayed, even if this bug get fixed the map is not that good
4 :  jail_casper_v1
5 :  jail_kronos_alpha :

12 :  jail_rehab_b4
13 :  jb_escape:
Why is this a map... just remove it T_T
14 :  jb_nck_final:

15 :  jb_snow
16 : jb_sunny_nd :
It has good games and it looks great but no one like playing on it for some reasons.
17: jb_titanic: should be removed (didnt add it at the start cuz i thought its not in the map list) (it didnt show up in the votemap list)

Most maps you suggest to be removed is for big and not played much, but the truth is they were input so there can be some variety in case the server would get many players, and we were getting there.. The map additions are good though, and yeah they can easily replace some of the maps that are already in the server.

the only map i suggested to be removed cuz its big only is grey,
others are either empty with no games (kronos,escape) or good but no1 wanna play (sunny, aj_ultimate).
and switching sunny with leyawiin is a good thing because the map is better and it's big at the same time
+ added other suggested maps

[Alberto]

Yea these maps look really good to be honest about all jail_blue, it seems to be a map that would be played a lot and about the rest well, i would remove the one you said and I would add titanic to be removed because when we are playing that map all say to change it and we never play it literally, it is a bit sad becausethe map itself is not bad but the players don't want to try it a bit

2 of them big and empty, 2 of them not voted, 4 others for various reasons, like I explained, I agree with your suggestions, but there was an idea behind most of them, but the way things went it didn't work out. For a moment back then I actually thought of removing most maps, simply cause there's always suggestions, yet there are also always complaints, and simply people want 3-4 old maps and they don't want changes. If we were more open-minded we'd have more players and more fun. We got maps like rehab and snow with plenty of games, yet if we have bad commanders it still makes people leave.

Anyway, once again, I agree with your ideas, very good map choices!
