what if thier was a team shuffler??? wherer after the round is over everyopne 'shuffles' around and new teams are picked???
also i think afk layers should be kicked every 2-3 minutes... it makes the teams unfair...

A team shuffler would be cool, as a special option. But then you would probably need to have a 'Disable team changes' option to aviod the players to change teams.

...just a thought...

This is one of the very few things I would approve of as a "server side". Good job.

It'd certainly put an end to people complaining that teams are unbalanced. Good thinkin' [;)]

Very nice idea. It should be able to switch players on different teams. I'm not exactly sure how that would work. Maybe it would make them administrators, flip them, and disable their admin. ;) That would be a reasonable script, I think, not that I know anything about scripting.

Either way, very nice idea, but like Jaz said, as long as it's server side. And I agree with LazehBoi, everyone suggests that this and that should be server-side, but this one is truly worthy of being server-side. Also, before this is implemented, it should be made that when someone switches teams, they don't lose their points.

Didn't he mean, switch teams after each game. Maybe make it so people with = kills all go in same team. Say......

alpha team

Y=25 kills
Z=30 kills
X=5 kills

bravo team

A=10 kills
B=40 kills
C=20 kills

therefore the kills would be calculated to make the next teams fair.
B,C,X=65 kills Y,Z,A=65 kills

these would be the next teams, then so on game after game. I hope you understand ;D.

That is even better. I don't think this algorithm should be used, but rather a kill/death ratio (i know you can't divide with 0 but not everyone can be as good as me ;) because of the joining and parting going on all the time... But anyway, cool idea!

Yes, I have taken over this idea, its mine now. Aahahahahha ! Yes, on a more serious note. It should be added. Serverside !

Here's some psydo code.

For every player with out a team (sorted by their worth)
get the team with the least players
the selected player is now assigned to that team

I recon it's a good idea, and be great if it was implemented in the next version of soldat ;D.
