SM Build 4 [Done]

[Labyrinthine]

This is not 100% finished, but I'm releasing it anyway. The last error has taken me the greater part of a week, and I'm not going to wait any longer.

Changes:
Updated All Plugins
Removed Chat Filter
New TK Plugin
- Simpler and it should just work
New Vent Plugin
- Admins now have the ability to force players into the Vent server
- Players in the server can join the vent server by typing !vent
- Note: Those with vent admin accounts will not be able to join vent this way.
Added Warmup Round
- It's really just a lo30 config, but it should allow most players to get in on pistol round

Features to come:
Completely revamped ban system (This is the thing which still has a problem)

As always, let me know if there are any errors. I tested this, but I'm not sure if I caught all of them.

I am happy that the chat filter is gone.  Also I wanna see what people think of the lo3.  Should be interesting but I think people will like it.

[Labyrinthine]

It's more or less the exact same thing as the mani warmup round, except the messages come from the chat area rather than the center.

If we really wanted to, I could come up with a way to make them display as a countdown in the center of the screen, but I figure that's too much work for too little benefit.

Laby, they replied again to your question on the other forums.

[jmo.]

I was just in the pub and it changed maps.  The lo3.cfg is way to long, Laby.  Can you possibly shorten the timer.

[Labyrinthine]

Define way too long?

It's supposed to be a lo30, not lo3. As in, 30 seconds.

Figured that would be enough time for EVERYONE to connect.

[jmo.]

Yes, to long.

[Latro]

So.... L015?

[jmo.]

10-15 seconds i would say.

[The Grandfather]

Yeah these people have al got fast computers 15 seconds would be long enough.

[jmo.]

maybe even 6-8 seconds. Cause after the timer after it says game starting and thats another 5 seconds.  Doesn't need to be that long.

[Donk]

I'd go with 15 seconds.  Also, any idea about z_block?!? 

[Labyrinthine]

I'll put it at 20, we'll see how that goes. My main concern is having EVERYONE in the game before the first restart.

From personal experience, not everyone is in the server before 15 seconds into the first round. The whole idea behind a warmup round would be to allow everyone to get into the game and then have it restart. So everyone is present and ready to roll when the game is actually starting; not to have people join the server while the game is restarting and barely make the warmup round.

As far as I'm aware, zBlock is still fubared with SM.

From personal experience you will NEVER have everyone ion the game before the round starts. Some gamers just have shitty computers.

What we are trying to do here it make it a COMPETITIVE atmosphere .
 I just saw it and it was loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. LOL.

Yeah probably anywhere at about 6 to 8 seconds would be dandy. People didnt seem to mind it though, just dead time that is uneccessary.

Hella cool build though. I see this is on the new server also. What the scoop with that? Up and running we should start adverts even though it may change a little. Lets get adverted?

[Labyrinthine]

Erm, I'm just using that as a test server right now. When I have more info on that, I'll let you know.

My #1 priority has been getting this build working 100%. This ban issue has slowed things down.

I'll talk to Laws soon, considering it doesn't look like the ban issue will resolve itself anytime soon.
