Mvp Panel For Losing Team

[kamatayon 1]

Hey guys ,

I'm playing a lot on your servers and every time I join I read that I should visit your forums if I got an improvement to suggest. So.. I do have one

You know when your team is really bad and you put ALL of your passions into the game and still lose because you have 3 spies and 6 snipers or whatever? You know you would have finished as a MVP if your would've won, but sadly you will never know this for sure, because the MVP scoreboard only shows players of the winning team..

I think this problem is annoying but has a pretty simple solution:

A MVP panel for the losing team

I think the servers of skial.com (maybe you know them?) have this plugin and I love it. But I rather play on your server so I would love to this plugin there in future!

sorry for my english, it's my third language

so long,

kamatayon

Hey I've already suggested this before and it didn't pass because the official Lotus' policy at the time was that the servers, except for the donator and administration plugin, will stay as vanilla as possible. However, if the staff's opinion has changed, I'd be all for it.

[Chez-Box 3,240]

I am not staff, but i can pretty much guarantee this policy has not, and will not change; quick solution: win instead of lose

In the case of shitty team or shitty class balance, attempt to lead/ teach da noobz in order to achieve solution above.

As I've said before, knowing nothing about server plugins and pros and cons of it all (i do understand the basic motivation to keep servers vanilla I suppose), I'd love to see this. But I'm just a bum who'd get to enjoy the perks of it.

As mentioned, looks like it's not something that's happening in the near future

Dammit It would've been nice! I mean vanilla is great, there are a lot of thinks that are freaking annoying at other servers, like all these sound effects and messages that affect your play.

But after your team won you don't have anything to do apart from spraying some crits.. so a little, half transparent panel would affect anyone would it?

Or whats the reason behind keeping it 100 percent vanilla?

Simply put, the more vanilla a server is, the more people valve send to it through quickmatch "find a game".

what do you mean with "the more"? Is it a rate thats calculated through the number of plugins or something?

I mean skial.com and other servers that use this panel have tons of players, also a lot of quickgame joiners.

[Nano 7,892]

I over-simplified for... simplicity. Suffice to say the servers are set up to maximize the number of people we can get to join.

doesn't have lotus enough players?

I mean look at saigns.de or nightteam.com servers.. they have all the shit you could imagine pluged in on their server but still always got a hell of a lot of players, i think even more then lotus sadly. And when I click on quickgame once in a while I really often end up joining these dumb ass servers -.-

Oddly enough, Nightteam appeared for me while using Quickplay yesterday. They still have their ridiculous donator trial going on. Make sure to report them if you randomly join the server. VALVe removed them from Quickplay for that crap before. Now they're just hiding it by changing the way the system works.

The problem here is that it causes a panel to pop up. My idea a while back was to use the Arena MVP panel which shows both teams. But it's worded differently and so doesn't really make sense in a non arena game.

"Damage, Healing, Lifetime (Minutes), Kills"

It can get annoying if a menu pops up every single round end and prevents you from switching weapons. That's the problem here.

Otherwise it could get implemented immediately.

I like your idea with that arena panel. Sooo, if someone would come up with a panel like the current MVP panel (only with a switch to show the MVPs of the losing team after a while) you would implement it? I think someone with decent skills could work out a plugin that works this way.

It's annoying to click through all the MOTD crap too, but that got implemented. There is a flaw in this logic.

EDIT: Lotus has kindly removed the annoying MOTD timer, so I retract my statement. I would not mind the loser MVP panel though. It'd be nice for the MVP's on the winning team who get auto-balanced in the last seconds to be able to see their contribution (assuming it can retain points between team switches, as it does on some servers).

flaw in this logic.. true story

edit: fuck this shit
