ed, this looks like a prophecy!

nah, I did it just to annoy subzero. He was right.
All my thought processes eventually end up at subzero. And how best to annoy him.

ban me do what ever u want if u hate me fine no problem
have fun
bye all

You serious?
It was a joke.

$ubzero, this was nothing meant against you or anyone in particular.
In fact, ed gave me access to the server to keep it on constant change so it won't get boring. So I was just trying both the color filter and the fortress point settings out. Infact I thought the server had DEDICATED_IDLE set to something, so it would restart sooner or later and revert to the old settings (I did it via remote admin, not via everytime.cfg). Well, turns out that this server doesn't restart regularily, so I was malinformed there. Sorry.

While I was playing noone seemed to complain about either change, so I thought I'd leave it for a while. I did see that the messages for conquering the bases are annoying, though, and was planning on getting rid of them, and additionally making it dependant on the map. So on a map like “little circles” you'd get 2 or so points for conquering each zone, on those combined sumo+fortress style maps maybe 4, and on chico-style maps maybe 1 point for every 2 zones you conquer, plus hide the actual message (but have a summary at the end of the round). We'll see how it goes.

I hope I didn't make myself too many enemies in the whole CT community for doing that. Both settings are reverted right now, I'm working on the fortress point thing, though

what a kerfufle, all the characters on my terminal come out mono green anyway so people can knock themselves out with rainbow banners to their hearts content.

I for one enjoy the constant evolution of ctwf like team names, new maps and the occasional shooting levels so you guys keep up the good work

Live together, die alone

No colour in chats? Well, I personally like that. It's easier to read messages if they're only written in one colour. Good job wrtl, keep it up.

Maybe I'll do a poll of some sort on it, so it doesn't appear to be totally arbitary.
Anyways, I changed SPAM_MAXLEN to 120 (was 80), so you can now type longer chat messages. Additionally I changed the team colors and names to match the current occasion

I'll switch the settings into the mysql database now, be ready for a crash (I hope it'll go seamlessly, though).

Meanwhile, back on topic... I always thought it would be good to get points for zones, but give the points to the player rather than just the team. That way the big scores won't just be made by Defs. Just a thought, i'm sure wrtl won't want to go through all 30+ maps and change that... blah

we could debate this a while too I say player point only on kills

i think he would make a code to do that for himself

Well, I just made that major change concerning the maps, so now it'll be a lot easier to change map-specific settings.
I've thought of giving points to players, I'll open a topic on the dev formus about that idea, maybe it can go into the release itself, instead of adding yet another hack.

Ok, I now changed it, so there's generally no points for zones, on combined sumo/fortress maps you get 3 points for conquering a zone, on those maps with a few fortress zones (little circles, pentagram, boxes etc) you get 2, on some maps with more zones (little columns) you get one point.

It's still the team that's getting the points, I'm working on giving them to individual players (see http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?t=9741)

are you going to work on making it display totals at end of round instead of showing each individual zone?

Yeah, that too, though it probably can't be included into the main distribution of arma, so it'll be yet another hack on top of it, making upgrades a pain.

im sorry ed and all ct'ers
