The biggest problem on Prop Hunt is people ghosting others and unless if there is an admin ingame, many players don't know the specifics of ghosting. I'm suggesting a server message that goes in chat to be implemented that explains ghosting. Here is an example that would be understandable: "Ghosting is prohibited on this server. If you are on Red team or Dead; please do not reveal real or fake props, directions, or locations of any player." This can be adjusted but the general idea is there and will be really helpful for new players unaware of ghosting. Hopefully this relieves that amount of work for the admins and the players.
I have also found a minor mistake I found in one of the chat server messages. I could not find the specific message after searching for an hour, but the mistake is that it has "!Menu" in the message which cannot work with the M when typing !menu.
Another minor mistake is !top10; I have tried this command on the Death Run server and it displays the top 10 players. When using the command on Prop Hunt, it only displays the top 8. Again, these two mistakes are really minor and won't have a big effect, but it's important to not have something out of place.
Thanks for reminding me, I was just about to sleep but checked the forums for any replies.PembrokeWelshCorgi wrote:Didn't you also recommend editing the rules to include building placement restrictions? I also remember us talking about having another pop-up message for team-switching.
Team switching is another problem on the server, which can't really be stopped unless if there are people on the lookout. Implementing a server message to prevent team switching would be helpful for new players (maybe being displayed at the start of every round, every other round, or every five minutes).
I don't know if this is possible to do without modifying the maps or really necessary; but on I believe Saxton Hell Prop Hunt they have an Arena mode so that when you join, you only get on door labeled Arena and will be placed on a random team. Once you are placed on a team, you are not allowed to switch. I understand that there can be some balance issues and can only switch teams via admins, but it wouldn't be worth trying for like two days if it is possible.
*I will keep this here because it is a good idea, but I have seen on multiple occasions the player Tiku ask to switch teams. Tiku is one of those players that is always seen at the top of the scoreboard and it makes sense for him to teamswitch to keep the game manageable. This makes teamswitching very debatable since new players should not do it to always be a prop but can be used to keep the game fun and possible to play. So the best way to enforce this would be: Teamswitching is prohibited unless given permission via admin.
The few engineers who are new to playing Prop Hunt usually don't know that there is a class specific rule against the building placement. A rule should be added about not building in doorways and no denying of access to the control point.
When filing a report, the option for griefing should be added since this includes building blocking and other various acts.
