TOPIC: Planned major system maintenance on Friday 15.6.12

Dear All!

I am on holiday this Friday, so this time (hopefully) I will have chance to make the long ago necessary system maintenance. All KRH systems are affected (I turn off all servers and move them).
Since the website is on the same network/system, the Forum and clankrh.com will be unavailable.
You can follow us in our FaceBook site, this will be accessible.

The maintenance takes some hours.
Thanks for your patience.

(And here you have your chance dear members and admins to make your suggestions regarding what to change on our servers, e.g.: B3 command level, etc.)

I think you mean the 15.06.2012

12 is today OMG

.

Good luck and speedy return

Snail how long do you think takes the maintenance? Last fridays there was "clan event day".




BTW.: This day is my birthday

Ohh when I can just wake up in time then I plan to finish it before afternoon, but anyway not later then 4 pm.
I have a lots to do, beside making usual backups and upgrades I want to move the servers to a better location in my home. And have to ensure power there as well.

The 2 servers make to much heat in the room of beka, and we have no AC.
And just today I ordered my newest (home) server, which I will use for personal purposes only with 8TB HDD as DLNA server.
Need a cooler place for the servers.

On FUNNY:

1. On LaBoucherie server there was great thing - autoslaps after ffkill. One kill - message, 2 - 4 slaps, 3-6, 4-8, 5th means kick and tempban for sometime.

2. New limits to change size of map due to number of players. Now on FUNNY (seem to for me) when 2 players join map is changing to another, then next 2 players join .... I think it should be only one change in time of ongoing map. I am getting white heat when i see this, which is on photoscreen:P (by the way how to prinscreen console?)
i.imgur.com/2kugn.jpg [ lol - when I tried to upload crhclan.com was unattainable, and also on UT I was CI - modem restart fixed it - very strange:]

3. Only one vote for cycle during map, or at most 2.

4. Time - small maps 6-7 mins, medium 9-12, and big like POLAND for ex. 14-16 minutes.

5. On small maps when on serv is 1-1 or 2-2 respawn wave shouldn't exist.

6. XLRstast starts when on serv is more or equal 4 players. 1-1 on afk is very tempting for statwhores like me

7. Vote on skuffle. No for shuffleteams which restarts map. When there is no online admin.

8. Very bashful proposition - some maps in CAH.

9. No for NEGEV and SPAS on big maps, properly SPAS

I am open for criticism

more titties!

and beer&jallu ofc..

When not, then this is a custom made plugin therefore I can't have it, and I am not a python programmer...
I could only make the weapon record plugins, which other servers don't have.
turambar:* wrote: Yes this is how MCAI works. It checks at every player connect and disconnect which map fits to the current player number and played the oldest.
The min-max player numbers are "burned" with the map in the database and I decide at map upload. E.g.: ut4_metro 25-99 players.
More info about MCAI here:

!!!! Important notice for admins!!! Do not try to load maps which are not active in the current mapcycle, because time-to-time I remove not used maps!!!!!
turambar:* wrote: I can't control it, by the game it is not controlled. The only UrT possibility is to delay the first vote, this is 60 seconds.
An other possibility is to delay the next vote called by the same player on the same map when it was cancelled, this is now 2 Minutes when I can good remember.

turambar:* wrote: Check the above B3 plugin download links. If a skuffle plugin exists, then I can apply it. I know the shuffle vote plugin, it ran on FUNNY for a year but was never used by players, and if an admin/moderator is online (hopefully since we have now many) then he can make a !min if the game is very unbalanced.
turambar:* wrote: I think players don't like mixed gametypes, since they connect a server not for it's name or ping, but its gametype.
I prefer CTF so I was searching CTF servers only. Some like TS, they would neverjoin a CTF server.
And did you see a player on FUNNY who is regular on our ZOMBIE TS?
turambar:* wrote: Negev was disabled at the beginning of FUNNY. When I had no weapons against cheaters (the noob cheaters used mainly Negev). Since we have less cheaters thanks to the efforts of all our valued admins, I found it unnecessary to disable Negev, since with it a (FAIR) player has disadvantage against an e.g. LR300 user.
And what did you mean with spas? It makes sense only to use on very small maps, this is a close range weapon, therefore it isn't widely used.
turambar:* wrote: There is no problem (except I spent 20 minutes with typing this answer) , I am happy if I have help, or ideas from someone...
I hope I could help you.

What about if we have in very small maps only nades&knifes, or spas&nades or only negev
I was like when playing CTF on map ut4_GeFacility with knife&nades.

Sorry Lamme, but now u will loose only minute.

On Labourcherie:) was nice plugin:
Vote for next maps:
Everybody can vote, bot displays 4 maps and players decide which map si next. It appeared about 4 minutes before map ends.

Sorry that I am talking about this serv, but it was great (of course less great than funny ) and It disappeared.

I knew this server, I used to play on it.
They must have programmed this plugins for them own, so when they didn't publish it, we can not have it.

A something like this map vote was made by SzaPe as well, but I can not use his, since his version is implemented into his unique mapcycle plugin, and we have our own MCAI.

OK and here I have other servers I am missing:
*ITA*ClassicServer=I vN=
<[FIDELITAS]>public CTF

As you know i play only on your funny server.
About time played by map, it's good for me, not too long not too short.

About play another gametype (CAH), i think it can be a good idea but most of players won't appreciate it.
First CAH is not a popular gametype, and i should say it's an unknow gametype.
Then, as Snail said, when you connect to a server for playing CTF and it's CAH, you felt fool.
Finally, some players have already troubles to understand how CTF work, so i even can't imagine them playing CAH !

About negev and spas i'm ok with those weapons, and i don't know why you should disabled, specially on big maps ?
The only thing i have to say about weapon, it's about HK69 on turnpike, this weapon is a cheat.
When you have at least 10 players in each team, and when you play blue and use HK69, it's really easy to have big score, you just have to spam with your HK nades on the blue flag or close to the flag, and you get POINTSSSSSSSSS by dozens !(i know it bc i do that really often!)

Thanks for your opinion.
I didn't plan to mix game modes on our FUNNY server.

The weapons I can only control from map to map with the UrT GEAR setting:
www.urbanterror.info/support/180-/#1.2

More precise settings are available for global use (e.g.: as we replace SMOKE with HEgren) but this doesn't support different settings for different maps.
