My Dedicated Server Setup

[crazyplaya73]

Hey all. I just wanted to share some of my server settings which for the most part limit the amount of spamming and lame moves that people can use for easy kills all of the time. Most of the people who play on the server seem to really enjoy the setup.

 

1) Server game speed is set at 200 this slows down the combat to make it more realistic and rolls are slower so people don't roll around like fools.

 

2) Pull, absorb, and lightning are disabled in FFA maps and in duel maps only push, speed, seeing, jump and saber powers are allowed. So I have disabled the powers that seem to be imballanced. Lightning is too powerfull and absorb is too effective. The problem with pull is that it is too easy to pull and backstab. You can still push and backstab but it is more difficult.

 

3) Saber only no weapons.

 

4) Dismemberment enabled

 

5) Maps switch between FFA and Duels.

 

6) 2 minute time limit on duels. No more 10 minutes duels where people just run away from eachother.

 

7) 20 minute time limit and 20 kill limit on FFA

 

8) Lots and lots of skins

 

That's all I can think of right now. Those are the main settings that seem to make my server so much fun to play on. Well except when I'm on kicking everyone's ass. J/K.

What's the setting you're using for limiting the one on one duels?

 

Danke,

The only thing I noticed was that you have g_saberLock instead of the correct cvar, g_saberLocking. I've emailed Raven about it half a dozen times and they admit that it's wrong in the server.cfg they keep distibuting with the ded server binaries and that they'll fix it...but they never do.

Hmmm. Maybe I was looking at the timelimit business all wrong. I had assumed on ALL maps that

 

set timelimit -minutes-

 

was the period of time for each map to run NOT the current duel. But this limits the time allowed for the one-on-one dueling in Duel-style maps???

[MatrixCPA]

Well, that would explain why when we set the timelimit on a duel map to 20 minutes it doesn't rotate after 20 minutes. What we're really doing is saying that no single duel can last more than 20 minutes...which they only do in very rare circumstances. Personally, I'd think 2 minutes is just a bit short.

 

Frequently, the best fights are the ones that take a bit longer because both players are well skilled. Of course, if you want to keep peeps from running around for an hour, then perhaps 5 minutes or so would work. Just a thought.
