I'm talking about the altered server.dat that removes the gameplay pending before at least 1 player is on each team.

Why do all the server owners think its retarded??
This is one thing I do not see anything retarded about? Huh

Can players destroy buildings while playing before someone else joins? If so, wouldn't that just suck if you were that person joining into a game with only a half-dead building left?

Except in a regular game one team actually has someone with the ability to defend the base. That doesn't happen in a 1v0 game..

I think its a cool idea. There should be something that ends the current game as the person is joining, dont know if its possible though.

Not everything is as it appears
Untouchable
we have it on n00bstories and it is never a problem. By time you can get to the enemy base there are already multiple people in game.

And when having problems getting people into your game, not n00bstories.
When the first player joins theres a much larger chance of him waiting alot longer for another player to join.
He's going to get bored much faster just standing there Satisfied
And it gives players a chance to gain recs and stuff while theres no one around. Rocked Over

You could also send the gameover command to the server,
when a second player joins the game...


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

why would you play against nobody?

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I like it, because when you're trying to get players in your server, if the first player can actually do stuff while waiting for others to join, he's more likely to stay rather than whining about not being able to move and ultimately leaving.

I would recommend, if you use that sort of mod, to have an auto-gameover if more than X amount of time has passed between the 1st and 2nd player joining.


I'm the bawss.

Arph!, Its not about playing againsed nobody, Its about getting people into the server faster. Not to mension in DM servers. You miss the point. People are much more likely to join a server that has 1 person in it, than to join a server with 0.

Also when the second last player leaves the server, It stops it from ending, which stops the last person from leaving the server(Most likely)

Here it is. A small and tiny server.dat patcher. Just copy this into the server dir and run it. It creates a Backup of the original server.dat.

1. Join empty server
2. Attack enemy harvester, buildings etc while waiting for harvester dump.
3. More people join.
4. !donate your fat wad of credits to your teammates
5. Flame/med/mrls/arty rush
6. Game over, your team wins.

Great fun, if you are on the team with the cash advantage Smile

Guess that's the reward for being the first to join and get a game going. Doesn't seem like such a bad system to me.

Doesn't that still need someone on IRC? Could you somehow make the server restart itself once more than 1 person is in the server?
