Release: SSK - The Swiss Server Knife

Cleeus[JgKdo] · Jul 12, 2004

SSK is a set of SERVERSIDE mutators for INFiltration 2.9 that (hopefully) make
playing online a better experience.

The following mutators are included:

SSK.TB - TagBalance
-------------------
Sorts players into the teams regarding their clantag and the current
state of the team-balance.
Attention: only tested for TDM (includes DTAS) but may work for EAS too, never tried it.

SSK.IM - Intelligent MapList
----------------------------
Decides which map is next, according to the current number of players.
Attention: only tested for TDM (includes DTAS)

SSK.NOUTV - NoUTVoices
----------------------
Forces players to use a non UT voice.
If a UT voice is detected then a random INF voice is chosen instead.

Installation:
Just put the files ssk.int, ssk.ini, ssk.u into your UT/System/ directory
and add the mutators to the game/commandline.
DON'T MAKE SSK A SERVERPACKAGE!!!
SSK is serverside only.

SSK is released under the GNU General Public License.

If you have questions how to configure it or set it up correctly, ask here, in ICQ, via email or visit me over here in Berlin

PS: support for NG-WebAdmin is planned

Wow. I hope the admins get this up.

Nice work.

Blitzschlag · Jul 12, 2004

Knowing how good it works :respect:

Hoping most of the server Admins will use it. :tup: :2thumb:

DaRealFunkyShyte · Jul 12, 2004

Wow..

Just yesterday i was thinking about the possibility to switch between TDM/DTAS/EAS when a certain number of Players is crossed. I guess that would be no problem with the right setup of your Mutator, or maybe a few additional lines of code.

Maybe a Server Admin will catch up the idea.

NTKB · Jul 12, 2004

Wow cleeus a big old # for you bro!

:tup:

geogob · Jul 12, 2004

Lichtenberg
Harper, KampfSaU, Deathwalker and HK live in berlin too btw

geogob · Jul 12, 2004

Ah! that's cool. Didn't know so many where in Berlin... it's a little late anyway

I stayed about a week in Prenzlauer Berg... which is, pretty much, off topic

#1 would work if SDS used identical clan tags for each player...
What if two people join, one is named Joe_bob and one is joe_shmoe, will #1 try to sort them by clan name onto each team? Is it overrideable? Does it only take effect at a round start?

SSK.TB has a list of know tags - one of these is eg. "SDS"
When a playername contains this string (case-insensitive) he is regarded to be a member of the clan and TD will try to put him to his buddies. If this would unbalance teams he will be put in the opposite team to balance teams.
If he wants to switch back, he can just vote and wait until the round is finished.
In the next round the team will not be changed - this would be too much confusion.

SSK is released under the GNU General Public License.

Oh really?

I think it'd be easier to distribute it with a BSD-style liscence. Also, you don't actually own the code...epic retains all rights to derivitive works. It's part of the EULA. But I'm sure you already knew that, right?

Oh, neato. So I assume DbD is in there, right?

{GD}Odie3 · Jul 12, 2004

Well, that is cool. I guess I will be testing the it for EAS

Oh, I guess I will have GameSwither issues....?

Hmm, took a look at gameswitcher.

TB and NOUTV should run fine with gameswitcher, but IM replaces the same class and they certainly don't work together. Well, lets see if i find a workaround for that.

I like the GPL and its features pretty much

Also, you don't actually own the code...epic retains all rights to derivitive works. It's part of the EULA. But I'm sure you already knew that, right?

So you want to say Epic owns the code and content of INFiltration? AFAIK wrong.
Works that have been created with UT are protected by the normal copyright laws.

whether your doing so would be compliant with the GPL or with the UT EULA,
so we can't endorse your doing this. But we aren't objecting to it either,
and don't plan to send our army of undead lawyers from hell after you if
your mod shows up on SourceForge.

I was afraid of that.... would be a shame to lose EAS/Specialist [Game Switcher] since I think GD is the only server that has Specialist in NA.

sir_edmond · Jul 13, 2004

Odie, i think its the only server with specialist gametype.

{GD}Odie3 · Jul 13, 2004

The below are now active on the GD Server [TeamStay Mutator has been removed].

shan · Jul 19, 2004

Did not see this. I will run it on my servers as well.

Cleeus[JgKdo] · Jul 20, 2004

Since you only run TDM and DTAS servers you can use the whole bunch. Take a look at the ssk.ini - pretty much self-explanatory.
