CS:Source Server (#2)

Okay, so here's what I've done to the CS:Source server:

Administration tools are installed. Bind a key to sm_admin and a menu will pop up when you hit it. If you don't have some level of admin and think you should, I need your steam ID and can set that up. At the very least an ITOE member should be able to kick and change maps.

Weapon restrictions automatically restricts the AWP (one-shot kill scoped rifle.) Once the noobs like Messiah are used to the game, we can always unrestrict it.

Other temporary weapon restrictions are available from the admin menu.

A bomb timer was installed for the noobs ;-) It will announce with a voice and text at 30 seconds and count down to explosion.

A team auto-balancer is installed. It is supposed to balance the teams based on size and skill and will also restrict joining a team with more players. This may need some tweaking after we get rolling with it.

If someone gets out of control on the server there's admin punishments available like setting them on fire, etc.

Fast downloads are enabled through a server on an entirely different Internet connection and everything is compressed for fast downloads.

Map rotation should work now. Cross your fingers.

I've very carefully not installed anything that would impact the actual gameplay or balance except for weapon restrictions.

  1. Cyber are you sure you don't want to add a few more "noob"s in there. I would hate for people to not mistake us for a bunch of retarded 8 year olds.

  2. Well most of those were for Messiah's sake - I finally found a game we play that I'm better at, and can't help rubbing it in.

  3. Fools! I'm only giving you a false sense of confidence.

  4. To clarify to "the people", the poster of this blog post owns and operates his own IT company and provides servers for us to play on.
