With the increased number of broken and rape mixes I thought, why not just make rpickup(or some other var) read some info supplied to it with setinfo or cmd info. Example.
There are 8 players on the server.
3 div1, 1 div2, 2 div3, 1 div4, 1 div5
They have all used cmd info div "1-5"

team 1:
div1 #1
div1 #3
div3 #2
div5 #1

team 2:
div1 #2
div2 #1
div3 #1
div4 #1

This way the fakers can still play as much as they want, and with the division very hidden.

Some ppl very like winning all time.
So, they will use cmd info div 5 every game, even if they div1-2 really.

its a good idea

Heh, so much effort just so that people could fake? Much easier to kick the fakers.

It's not like the suggestion is for the fakers... more like it makes the teams more even, without having to ask every single player on the server, what division are you, and what division are you ? Because us higher division players have no idea what division the lower skill players are in. At least not me...

Or everyone could just practicepracticepractice like Fatal1ty does and become div1. Then we would always have equal teams.

we'll just have to trust each other wont we

no fun in an 300 - 0 game, no matter who you are.


Excellent idea angua, as usual.

<3

Yeah. Great idea, but I doubt it will work

heh, already thought about the same idea, this is a first idea which come to the head after u start thought about how to make rpickup teams more even. No doubt this can't help against fakenicking, but may be help to balance teams in case of non-fakers.

But i need algorithm how to do this.

Maybe you can issue a specific point to every division and make the teams have somewhat equal points. Would it be best to have it linear or exponential? I don't know. Maybe there's a better algorithm but this one seems easy enough.

Yes, u r just paraphrase angua suggestion.

I dunno how compare players from diferent divisions, which score i must assign for particular div, for example if we give div1 score 1 and div2 score 2, is div1 player two times better than div2? imo not. Even i give some scores for divs, i can't think out even ONE algorithm how "make the teams have somewhat equal points".
Non trivial math task imo.

some players should even be given minus points because they only take rls/armor/ammo and go die

You don't have to involve hagge in this emp :<

my thought was, if one team gets a div1, it should also get a div5, as a counter... a div2 gets a div4, div3 equals 3... dunno, i suck at algorithms
