Your Perfect Server

[Raider-]

This is just for fun but I thought it would be interesting to see everyones opinion on how they would set up a server if they could. If you could have your own server and set it up, how would you? In other words what is "your perfect server"? And if you don't feel like creating your own, what is your favorite F|A server?

 

Include what you want but here are some suggestions to think about for settings.

 

Mod type: jaymod, etpub, etpro etc.

slot size: how many public and private slots for a server

Friendly fire: on or off

xp save or not: do your keep your xp at all and for how long? (total or number of days)

weapon limitations: restricted weapons to a certain number such as panzers etc.

class limitations: remove special skills (adren), limit number of people that can be a certain class, and so on.

coefficient adjustments: bullet damage, explosive damage, knife damage, fall off damage by range, etc.

map selection: what maps would be in your pool

Rules: Is spawnkill allowed? Are you allowed to kill out in combat? No cussing? those kinds of things

 

Theres more than just this to make a server so just add them into your post. After doing this I'm sure people will see how much goes into creating a server and how hard it is to balance. Because one thing I've realized is when it comes down to it, you have to select one thing or another and not everyone will be happy but you have to appeal to the greater good. Personally I hope there is a wide range in responses, as it would be interesting to see what people prefer.

12 slot private euro etpro server with competition settings (-->FF on, no adren, no xp save, etc)

[Raider-]

My pub server would be:

 

-et pub

-20 public slots + 2 private

-ff on with team damage limits

-xp save (same as F|A hardcore limits)

-all default weapons available,

-heavies limited to one type per team

-set panzers to 15, reduce damage by 50-60%, decrease charge needed to shoot by 50%. So more shots required to kill but can shoot more shots in a time span along with extra ammo. Quake like rocket launcher.

-MG would have fall off damage by range

-sten would be able to shoot 40% more shots before overheat.

-No poison knife, Normal knife damage, 18 frontal body, 50 backstab, 100 damage for backstab assasin (cov lvl4), allow throwing knifes @ f|a hardcore speed of fire, add a knife hit slow causing affected to be slowed by 20%

-no adren

-no double jump

-Limit Fop arty/airstrike per minute.

-Killouts in battle reward kills to person that last hit.

-Fall to death, and map damage such as barb wire do not count as deaths.

-maps would include: Radar, Goldrush Te, Oasis SW, Supply, Adlernest, Braundorf, Bremen, Railgun, Ice, Beach, TC base, UFO, Karsiah, caen, venice te (w/ flag spawn for allies), Reactor.

-Voting for maps after game ends (most votes wins, tie breakers go to map played longest ago)

-spawnkill allowed

-cussing tolerated

-respect admins and other players

-No spam or IP dropping

 

I'm probably missing something but so far this would be my dream pub. I feel as though these settings would require skill to achieve kills, but wouldn't be too demanding for the average player to achieve while not offering overpowering options for anyone. Each class will have their strengths but should not be too strong in areas. Via requiring panzer to have more skill required to gain kills instead of any nub being able to kill with it, even against the best of players, every other gun in game requires this, so it should too. Classes should be strong in the following areas; medics be strong hp wise, engies in damage reduction, fops in offensive, covies in stealth and range, heavies in utility and situational. Knifes should not be instant kills, instead slowing the enemy to where they cant get away would make knifing fun as you would be able to run but require more hits, this also gives shooters time to combat instead of insta lag deaths.

before my clan died, I had made all the configs for our public etpro server (which is not online anymore), so it was more or less how I liked it:

 

• mod: etpro
• slots: 16+some private slots
• map pool: at first I made a custom lua with a dynamic campaign, based on player number on the server. So the map cycle was automatic, but maps were chosen according to player number (small or big maps). All were 'competition' or duel/ctf maps. Later, I made a lua for custom map vote, but limited to some maps, so players could choose the map they wanted.
• gametype: stopwatch (disabled for some maps, with a custom lua mod), headshots only, or headshots instagib votable, for some fun/training. All together with a modified kmod for admin levels, killer's hp, etc.
• config: based on clanbase 6on6, with some slight differences.
• game speed, shooting speed, you name it: all standard ET!
• xp: *totally* disabled (no xpsave + no levels gain), so no akimbos, no adre, no fast reload or arty spamming, etc. etc.
• ff: (of course) on
• rules: selfkill in fight and spawnkill allowed, votes allowed (but no votekick for admins), play for objective or frags

Anyway I also like playing in totally different servers (otherwise I won't play in f|a servers ) the game is always fun. I just prefer standard settings (g_speed 320, normal rate of fire, no double jump and custom weapons) over modified ones,
