Server config xon0.8 update 26/08/2015

Yesterday i started reworking the config of our xonotic server because some people were reporting bugs to me and i thought this was a good opportunity to update some other suggestions i got.

First of all our hook is now a bit slower, i know we all loved how crazy our hook was but a few people complained about it so i made it a bit slower. There is however a command to switch between hooks: vcall oldhook and vcall newhook.
Our old hook:

Code:

g_balance_grapplehook_speed_fly 5000
g_balance_grapplehook_speed_pull 4000

Our new hook:

Code:

g_balance_grapplehook_speed_fly 3600
g_balance_grapplehook_speed_pull 3500

Another typical thing for our server, which many people complained about, was the refire of the gun. Many told me it was like shooting a machine gun on our server... So ofcourse this needed an update as well. (The default refire is 1 second i believe.)
Our old refire:

Code:

g_balance_vaporizer_primary_refire 0.5
g_balance_vaporizer_secondary_refire 0.5

Our new refire:

Code:

g_balance_vaporizer_primary_refire 0.8
g_balance_vaporizer_secondary_refire 0.7

The speedcap - normalcap command has finally been fixed so now it should work in xonotic:

Code:

alias speedcap "minplayers 0; g_ctf_flag_return_time 1; g_ctf_flag_when_unreachable 1; fraglimit x; timelimit x"
alias normalcap "minplayers 2; g_ctf_flag_return_time 25; g_ctf_flag_when_unreachable 25; fraglimit 10; timelimit 60"

Scores you get for certain actions also changed drasticly, this is to make it match more to other server so people can compare but still with our own twist to it (=the focus is not fragging, it's capping):
Old scores:

Code:

g_ctf_score_capture 90
g_ctf_score_capture_assist 50
g_ctf_score_kill 25
g_ctf_score_penalty_drop 10
g_ctf_score_penalty_returned 10
g_ctf_score_penalty_suicidedrop 10
g_ctf_score_pickup_base 10
g_ctf_score_pickup_dropped_early 10
g_ctf_score_pickup_dropped_late 10
g_ctf_score_return25

New scores:

Code:

g_ctf_score_capture 20
g_ctf_score_capture_assist 10
g_ctf_score_kill 5
g_ctf_score_penalty_drop 2
g_ctf_score_penalty_returned 2
g_ctf_score_penalty_suicidedrop 2
g_ctf_score_pickup_base 2
g_ctf_score_pickup_dropped_early 2
g_ctf_score_pickup_dropped_late 2
g_ctf_score_return 5

I also added 2 new commands avaible to all players, adding a new gamemode to our server as requested by kwakkie:

Code:

vcall ctf
vcall tdm

The rcon2irc has changed a bit as well. Since we only have 1 server running i changed the irc name back to CtfLmnt and it reacts to both CtfLmnt and ctf to talk ingame with the players from IRC. Besides that i also changed the welcome message irc gives you when you join the server.
Old message (could be a bit different, i forgot to copy):

Code:

Welcome to this Xonotic server
Please behave and join us again.

New message:

Code:

Welcome to the eLeMenT server
Type vhelp to see all the available commands
Follow the rules found on http://element-nex.forumotion.com/

The motd also changed but thats easy to test out for you guys and can be seen ingame.

Besides all this i changed some minor things that aren't imporant and changed some old nexuiz cvars to the new xonotic cvars.

If you got some suggestions feel free to post them here!

vega

What you think about adding Mario's mod? It will add the headshot feature and also there are client side instagib beams, for players with lag.
It will need 0.8.1 or recent though.

Depends... Mario sometimes adds certain things to his mods that he doesn't inform people about... I personally don't like that, let's see what the others think of it.

vega

For now i like our server. Depends of what else mario added in his pack. After, we may can ask for some specifics stuff

Tested the clientside beam. ADD THAT SHIZ!

Is it the purple beam ? I've got it if it is that
I also have the effect info for some oother stuff

Provide me with links to download and an installation guide if you want something added. I'll look into everything when i have time.

Have a look to that open it and see if something interest you. It's organized by effect.
But i don't know if you can make it default for a server, maybe in server config

For client, just put it in ~/.xonotic/data

what mod is that?

v

What you mean by "mode"

The beam work for minsta (purple) but many things are for vanilla by default (mortar's red trails for exemple)
