which server configuration is best balanced?

[MadMan2k]

checked = on
unchecked = off

Im asking since after I played a while on fun house, I think the vanilla configuration is superior to what the db@ or satgnu servers are running.

doh dumb forum does not suppurt multiple choice.

use this then:

[ ] Friendly Fire (Players)
[ ] Friendly Fire (Buildings)
[ ] Dretch Pouncing
[ ] Sudden Death
[ ] Extended Build/ Decon Timer
[ ] Fast Reload @ Armory

for me it is:
[ ] Friendly Fire (Players)

• Friendly Fire (Buildings)
• Dretch Pouncing
• Sudden Death

[ ] Extended Build/ Decon Timer
[ ] Fast Reload @ Armory

Since when can dretches pounce?

[MadMan2k]

Since when can dretches pounce?

they can be pounced away by dragoons or tyrants so they dont block...

[Chojin]

It's called g_dretchPunt I think.

[Rawr]

goons pounce btw. and the pounce kills anything that it runs into unless dretchpunt is on. with that on nothing can tk dretches.

i like to call it dretch FF


ff players on , but dretch FF off

buildings ff on

SD. not sure, somtimes i like it other times i dont

extended build time - no

fast reload - not ever played with this ( your talking about weapon reload times right?)

[rasz_pl]

everything ON, except:
Extended Build/ Decon Timer - WTF is this??
Fast Reload @ Armory - again WTF is this? you mean reloading energy weapons at armory? not being able to do it in vanilla IS a BUG.

I hate no SD (nap server), because it lets LAME humans prevail (lame = never seen an egg or om)
I hate >normap BP, it lets you build acid pools + with no SD humans can build gazilion turrets and sit on them.
BUT, but what I hate the most is vanilla DB servers ), no idea why? I suppose I got spoiled by dretch FF turned off and no lags (DB lags latelly like a fat PIG).

Above is not only my preference, but what I feel is fair for both teams.

I dislike dretch punting. With it, if there are 2+ dretches piled behind me, I can't move. With dretch punting off, I can at least kill them. Also, I have seen more accidental tking with dretch punting on than with it off. Someone will see a dretch in the middle of a room, figure it's just in the way, attack it just as it's evolving, and kill it.
With dretch punting off, aliens think twice before attacking dretches.

With fast reload at armory, are you talking about the posibility to buy ammo at reloadbutton, that some servers (db and tremulous.info at least) gives you?

WHAT? its like saying "lets BAN liquids on all planes" or "lets wiretap EVERYONE", that sure will prevent erm ... something (freedom)
Let me put it into perspective for you, there are 200 deaths DAILY from heart attack in USA, and 0.8 from terrorists (0 actually, I generously included last 6 years into acount). Yet USA does nothing to improve health care, and pumps bilions into police state. Then you come here and say this is the way to go, lets kill TENS of blocking dretches a map instead of ONE OR TWO stupid idiots that block AND evolve at the same time in the middle of a tyrrant attack. You must be from USA, same "logic".

this feature is one bind away, like
bind MOUSE4 "buy helmet;buy larmour;sell gren;itemact gren;buy gren;buy ammo"

Oh yes, let's trap and kill the stupid tyrant who thought it was a good idea to attack.
