Hey. I'm trying to figure out how I could make the only option available to be 'auto assign', but don't know where to start. I'd appreciate if someone would point me to the right direction, if this is even possible?

...wat

maps/mp/gametypes/_menus.gsc (copy the one in m2demo to a mods/ subfolder or something):

 

find

	if(response == "changeteam")
	{
		self closepopupMenu();
		self closeInGameMenu();
		self openpopupMenu(game["menu_team"]);
	}

 

replace with

	if(response == "changeteam")
	{
		self closepopupMenu();
		self closeInGameMenu();
		self [[level.autoassign]]();
	}

 

find

beginTeamChoice()
{
self openpopupMenu( game["menu_team"] );
}

 

replace with

beginTeamChoice()
{
self [[level.autoassign]]();
}

Thanks a lot, works great. Only slight minus is that people in spectators get autoassigned each round. Is that as easy to change as this was?

 

and btw,

Nice pointless spampost, dipshit

How would you even go to spec when you've done the code changes NTA suggested?

 

You could also use auto-balance in combination with a changed getJoinTeamPermissions( team ) function.

Get a clean _teams.gsc and change the function getJoinTeamPermissions( team ); to :

 

getJoinTeamPermissions( team )
{

playerCounts = self CountPlayers();

return (( playerCounts["allies"] == playerCounts["axis"] )  || ( playerCounts[team] < playerCounts["axis"] ) || ( playerCounts[team] < playerCounts["allies"] ));	

}

 

credits to lmaobox for this.

When you join the game, you get auto assigned to a team, instead of being able to choose your team, which is good. You can still press esc and select your team, and there you can go spec. Nothing wrong with that. But if you spec, each round it auto assigns you to a team, when before it would just ask you to choose a team. I'm wondering if this could be changed somehow, that you'll stay in spec if you're there. Not a big problem, but if it's easy to fix.

 

That function you showed me disables players ability to choose a certain team if the teams are not balanced? Like it's 8vs5 and the player tries to join the team with 8 players, it denies him?

I use this

[attachment=0]z_balance.iwd[/attachment]

Yeah nvm, I'll keep it the way it is. People don't have to spawn when they get autoassigned each round, so It's good. Thanks for the help all

Ok, so you aren't using this, i guess?

      if(response == "changeteam")
     {
        self closepopupMenu();
        self closeInGameMenu();
        self [[level.autoassign]]();
     }

Yes pretty much that. They won't be able to choose the team with 8 players and have to click on the other team or use auto-assign.

 

EDIT:

People don't have to spawn when they get autoassigned each round, so

 

Uhm, you could try something like this:

 

copy over a _playerlogic.gsc from m2demo/maps/mp/gametypes .

You'll find two lines like this:

self maps\mp\gametypes\_menus::beginTeamChoice();
self maps\mp\gametypes\_menus::beginTeamChoice();

 

change them to:

self maps\mp\gametypes\_menus::beginTeamChoice( firstConnect );
self maps\mp\gametypes\_menus::beginTeamChoice( firstConnect );

 

In _menus.gsc change the beginTeamChoice() function to:

beginTeamChoice( connect )
{
if ( self.pers["team"] != "spectator" || connect )
	self [[level.autoassign]]();
}

 

Like that spectators shouldn't be auto-assigned each round start.

You might also try this in combination with the changed getJoinTeamPermissions( team );

i posted above.

 

EDIT 2:

I use this

onplayerconnect()[/i] is called every round start, so it will re-assign players to the teams every round start and show up the choose-class menu...so that .iwd shouldn't be used in SnD etc..

Stick This On Player Connect

OnplayerConnect()
{
       level endon( "disconnected" );
       for(;
       {
        level waittill( "connected", player );
        team[0] = "allies";
        team[1] = "axis";
        random = randomInt( team.size );
        wait 0.2;
         player notify("menuresponse", game["menu_team"], team[random]);
       }
}

Stick This On Player Connect

OnplayerConnect()
{
       level endon( "disconnected" );
       for(;
       {
        level waittill( "connected", player );
        team[0] = "allies";
        team[1] = "axis";
        random = randomInt( team.size );
        wait 0.2;
         player notify("menuresponse", game["menu_team"], team[random]);
       }
}

 

And how is that relevant? Why would he want players assigned to the teams randomly?

In round-based gametypes onplayerconnect() is called every round start, so it will re-assign players to the teams every round start and show up the choose-class menu...so that .iwd shouldn't be used in SnD etc..

Ah ok...

Well I have only FFA and TDM servers...

Really?

I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the info.

So this doesn't happen on TDM/DOM/etc, right?

This may be why my servers have been crashing as I thought the onPlayerConnect was called only when they connect.

OnplayerConnect()
{
       level endon( "disconnected" );
       for(;
       {
        level waittill( "connected", player );
        if( player.pers["team"] == undefined )
        team[0] = "allies";
        team[1] = "axis";
        random = randomInt( team.size );
        wait 0.2;
         player notify("menuresponse", game["menu_team"], team[random]);
       }
}

Use this one for Snd Etc !!!!

Jesus. Why are you posting this again and again without code tags? Also, how is that relevant? He doesn't want players to be assigned randomly.

(a lot of code and text)

Thanks, now It's just the way I originally wanted. Works great. I shall salute you, and winner team joiners shall hate.
