First, I would like to thank Hero for selecting me as the new CS:S CL. Hopefully together we can make the WCU PC community great.
Second, I would like to talk about the changes that are coming. First of all is the new map roation. I currently do not have ftp to the CS:S server, so I am unable to change the map rotation, but hopefully that will be changed soon. I have PM’d our new PC VP.
I will try to devide this topic accordingly:
Map Rotation:
I’m glad Ballz started the other topic because it has given me a good idea of what maps to play. Right now it’s crucial that we come up with a good map rotation. That means that certain maps that only few like to play will have to be shortened, rarely played, or even eliminated. I will be working on a preliminary map cycle for everyone to vote on and make comments and suggestions.
Admin Powers:
I have decided that it is best for the server if the admin abilities on CS:S be broadened. I am not giving every admin the ability to change maps. However, I am currently working on a new tier system with different level admins for the CS:S server. Right now there will be three levels of admins.
Level 1: Base admin abilities as they are now.
Level 2: Ability to ask for a random map vote…. mabye a D2 vote.
Level 3: Ability to change map at will provided following certain rules and also the same powers as level 2.
I will discuss this further in the admin discussion. I will also need FTP to the CS:S server before I am able to set this up.
These are the current new changes. I am going to be working on all of these starting now and hopefully they will all be resolved quickly and smoothly.
Congratulations on your post, Lemm!
A few questions regarding the server though:
1) Is it possible to program the server to allow the players to utilize votekick if and when no admin is present, and only in that situation?
WCU has had an issue where a hacker will enter the server and screw up the game for everyone, only for someone present with one the admins on their friends list or ICQ to message them to solve the problem. Now, this is fine, except it becomes problematic when A ) an admin is not online or B ) the players on the server don’t have an admin friended. I can definitely see a potential for misuse, but I think it might be useful.
2) What if we got rid of the map “rotation” entirely, and just had a vote towards the end of each round for a map out of a list of all possible maps, which the community would pick out?
Obviously, these are just for your consideration.

Btw, did I mention no.
I’ll uninstall windows from the server if you do.
EDIT – For clarification: The last time we did this it completely and utterly killed the server. Like 0 regulars. We switched it back to rotation and it was semi-popular again in a month or so. Full a short time after that. Lemm can do this if he wants but I think I speak for all the alumni when I say it’s a bad idea.

Yeah I’m with kip here.. no
And right now I’m not going to put in the votekick either.. just use irc, msn, forums for now…
There should be plenty of admins on somewhere.
Could I suggest adding a bunch of messages to pop up in the server, whether it is in sm_chat, or just the upper left/right corner…but somewhere to advertise WHERE to get an admin at, WHERE the forums are, WHEN fun nights will be, NO b hopping, NO defuse stealing…ect…

And people will come for the snow cone

yes…i am sick of having to flash NO B-Hopping through all chat like every other map lolyou could just ban….
Mr. PMosh said:
you could just ban….I actually had something funny happen recently
It went kinda like this:
Ballz: NO B-HOPPING!!!
B-hopping *edited*: WHAT?!! THIS SERVER IS BAD.
Ballz: GTFO then
B-hopping *edited*: Your mom GTFO’s
Ballz:What? Say that again.
B-hopping *edited*: Your mom GTFO’s
Ballz:!kick B-hopping *edited*
People are so annoying it’s funny sometimes.
Ballz you are generous in only kicking the man…. I would have banned for at least a day….
but yes, adverts pls
and no, pls never ever ever ever ever let people vote on maps
You can never ever defeat me on my epic ban lulz…Liam used to have to pull the logs to show peeps how much roffle there was in my banz…
IRC bots lag TRON as far as I know and with the current situation I don’t think it would be a good idea to start them up… if I get the go ahead from Kip then maybe but I don’t think it would be a good idea
Another thing that could be worth a shot at trying is maybe adding Zblock,since it apparently just stops Bhopping completely. But hey im no expert on it so dont quote me on it unless you do find out that its true.

I would delete your post if I still had the permissions to do so, that is how bad that idea is.
zblock doesnt stop true b hoppers, just scripters…But back to ad’s…if the 1.*edited**edited* server has them, why can’t we?

But hey im no expert on it so dont quote me on it unless you do find out that its true.Zblock does absolutely nothing. Period. It doesn’t stop hackers, exploits, glitching, walling, scripting, anything. All it does is keep legitimate mods out of our server and *edited* off everyone else who does manage to get in without getting autokicked for some obscure setting or not having a good enough video card.

basically its used for CAL,CEVO etc etc for scrim matches to stop skins for weapons and stuff that are custom made and its also supposed to stop scripters and stuff it also gets the player info when they connect to a server so it shows steam standing so its supposed to stop hackers and modders from cheating in scrims is what it all boils down to
