can this map get any more buggy? If you drive a goliath into your base and park just behind the window you can pretty much pick anything off without getting hit at all. Many people are aware of this "cheat" also which makes that map a bit unenjoyable. Everytime I play tank wars lately there are people camping behind these windows racking up huge scores/killing sprees/ frags. <--these people arent even playing onslaught the way it should be played, i.e building nodes, taking out power cores.

What happened to teams switching sides when a round is finished? it seems a bit unfair since there are sometimes advantages to starting out on a certain side of a map.

About the switching: this happen automatically to keep the amount of pps in each team equal. After a round very often lots of pps leave so teams become unequal and UAdmin has to correct it. Also with a 'teams' in your chatline you can activate UAdmin to correct teams if it's needed.

i wouldnt call that a cheat, if there is a part of the map to exploit then people will use it. not all do it for huge scores, it is possible to get ur ass in their base and destroy their tank while the other team thinks they have the protection of this tank you can then win the map.
Is just like ut99 zero ping with walls at a certain height.
bug yes, cheat no.
is one of the many challenges that are there for you to overcome and kill that tank.

I am aware of that TankWars bug, but there is no way to fix it unless someone know how to change maps in UnrealEd (hm, now when I said that, I think I know some ppl who could do that.... I will ask). Other solution would be to remove map, but its very popular.

If we said its illegal, some admin would have to be there every TankWars map and kick all camping ppl, cos there is no way to detect it from logs, so I think we just have to tolerate it. In my experience team with too many glass campers always lose anyway, cos as you said - they are not playing Onslaght and without playing ONS they cant win ONS Wink

.

So lets say its extended base defense and maybe support for node attackers Rolling Eyes

.

About team balance, I am not sure what you mean, UAdmin's Team Balancing is still enabled and you can always balance tams by typing "teams" into chat. However it balances teams only based on player count, not on their skills.

But I will enable balancing also on player exit and reporting of manual team changes (winning team switchers).

Ah ok, I will look into side changes. Dunno why it changed. About TankWars, fr0st from NSE clan is working on it, so TankWars will be soon uploaded without that bug. Smile

TankWars are not finished yet, but should be soon.

Meanwhile I looked into team side swapping and it was enabled, so I dont know why it does not work Confused

. I have changed some other things, so let me know if it works or not.

I also enabled some more things on UAM team balancing and made SPAM bad BADWORD filters more tough - they will now kick for two offenses.

Btw dont worry about ppl who annoy other players on server - they all are being banned. I check logs regulary... we already have 70+ bans. Shocked
