Title: How goes it everyone?
Post by: Bloodix on November 29, 2008, 10:59:20 pm
As prob noone actually remembers me, well maybe some old old members, but I used to be apart of the team a long time ago(i worked on Cradle for a good bit). Just checking in on Goldeneye Source, seeing where it is at nowadays.

The project is certainly looking great! ;D

Edit: I see I'm in the wiki. Gotta admit, i do miss this place. Too bad im very rusty at making levels now adays. Been years since I tried. lol

There were several clans for GES, but most of them have either disbanded or left GES for other things, for example the Janus Syndicate and [L[T]K]... but clans like WNx are still going somehow

Id say wait bloodix, dont waste time plugging GE:S as a competition game just yet. Your intentions are kickass, i hope you can turn many heads at that site but for now Beta 1.0 or even 1.1h is barely playable compared with what we are testing behind closed doors. Beta3 is going to be an infinitely better property to sell as a clan pleasure, its going to be very stable, the team is making that goal #1 and for instance teamplay will become a much more prominent feature in beta3 than previous release ; not to mention how outside influences can attempt to do wonderful things serverside with LUA.

Oh and rest assured [L[T]K] will be back alongside WNx as an active clan once the new release hits the community.

it should read "internal beta" since that's what it is for the clarity. Stupid steam community when it gives away ultra secrets :(

so you guys think Beta 3 will be good for clans in leagues and such?

Post by: killermonkey on December 08, 2008, 09:16:53 pm

Absolutely, with the introduction of round based gameplay, full support for team modes, and custom LUA gameplays you can do whatever you want to setup your tournament.

I will be including tournament esque features at some point such as wait time BEFORE a round starts, all ready, shit like that. Although i don't think it will be a priority until right before release since thats going to be copied right from HL2's code (its buried in the SDK)
Title: Re: How goes it everyone?
Post by: Bloodix on December 09, 2008, 03:15:41 am
awesome, so what team/clan sizes do you guys thing will be good?
Title: Re: How goes it everyone?
Post by: killermonkey on December 09, 2008, 03:57:39 am
sizes of 8 would be optimal, I would say 14-16 at the most for the larger maps

EDIT: My input doesn't matter I only code and don't play tournaments :-P
Title: Re: How goes it everyone?
Post by: Wake[of]theBunT on December 09, 2008, 03:59:05 am
I dont think the team should recommend anything, because internally for instance many ppl who believe 8 is a large amount for even deathmatch gameplay. I think they are askew to say that. So basically if you asked this question to each dev member you would get ranges from 4v4 (they'd consider that extremely high) up to 8v8 <-- (me) as an optimal number

Title: Re: How goes it everyone?
Post by: VC on December 09, 2008, 04:08:45 am
I'm in the 3v3 camp.
Title: Re: How goes it everyone?
Post by: kraid on December 09, 2008, 11:15:52 am
IMO it depends on the map which is played.
e.g. in beta 1 maps you can have 16+ people on Facility_classic without problem but the same amount of ppl on Facility Frontzone will result in a spawnkill orgy.
But i think most admins can decide by themself which server setup will be the best choice. So if the server is limited to 8-12 ppl the mapcycle should prefere smaller maps and if it's up to 24 ppl it will be a good idea to prefere big maps.
I don't know much about the server admin stuff but it should be possible to write a server script which makes the mapvote related to the playercount, so if there are 16+ ppl the next map will be choosen out of the big ones.
Maybe it can also start a vote for a bigger/smaller map in midgame, e.g. there are 3 ppl at the start on a round it's a small map and everything is ok. after a few minutes 9 ppl have joined and the map is crowded well.
The server starts a question vote, change to a bigger map <Yes> <No>, so it's still up to the ppl.
The midgame mapchange could be arranged that way:
facility frontzone (10+ ppl) >> Facility Backzone (16+ ppl) >> Facility (full)
Stack/Basement (12+ ppl) >> Library
maps without a conterpart >> another big map (mapvote?)

But i think this is a task for a server admin (isn't it, B@d?)
