old Poll rank suggestion

Well since there is already suggestions about changing stuff like zombie mode I think we should be allowed to have 2 rank modes for many reasons

Normal: Kills/Deaths
Kill Mode (or some name): # of kills

This can prevent hackers, freekillers from lowering or trying to raise there ranks.

This can also be helpful for beginers because of training. As mathematically the more deaths you have the harder it will be to get back up the ranks.

And of course freekillers in prison break maps, as we can never fix this problem except for this way for the ranks.
~my personal experience of being rank 1 to 263~

As for this is only a suggestion please vote of what you think to protect your server ranks.

The current ranking system does not rank players based on their KPD, it ranks the player based on a scoring system that doles out points based on how many kills and death a player has cumulative.

Also, if a beginner wants to train in a server, why would he be worried about his rankings? And the whole point of the ranking system is to provide incentive for people to do good in game, not to play the game for 18+ hours, get a horrible KPD of less then .3, and still be able to rank up to the top 30s in the popular servers. If you want a better rank in game, earn it, don't rely on the developer to make it easier for you.

You are right about that, cs2d's soul purpose is not about ranks or who's the most active but simply fun.

My suggestion was ment to be a new secondary option for admin's. But of course it's DC's game and I have to respect that.

I guess I gotta think of more solutions for my prison break servers. Spamish stuff here.

I think the rank should change, to something like:

• Kill : Earn three points
• Death : Lose one point
• Planting bomb/ Explode : Earn five points
• Defuse : Earn five points

Just like in CS2DBR@World, good old days, with the 2dbr members.
@Leegao: So what if people are playing 18 hours straight? I'm not saying it's a good thing, but hey, at least there'd be alot more players active, and more competitive.

We could also use a few more commands, eg:
By saying the following commands in-game, the following will occur:

• top3 : Top three players, with the highest rank will be shown
• kpd : Your kills per death will be shown
• next : Find out which next three players are in-front of you

Then you've obviously lost scope of what I've said.

maybe these things can be configurated by LUA script...
or am I wrong?

ps:
I'm trying to host the @World server again,
but I'm having problems with the dedi on linux...

could be. But i think you need to learn how to write data to a file. I'm having problems with reading data from a file, because i want to write a system which automatically kicks an USGN ID of all servers where this lua is activated, when the player of this ID was banned too often

hm, Its hard to say,
but if someone get banned by accident...

well, this function of course only works on USGN only.
and... if someone gets banned by accident, i still can unban him.
In addition, the count of bans on which you get banned has to be high enough, that you are not banned everywhere from just one ban or stuff like that

That server was great, good times...
I also would like the ranking system to be like that.

Well while we are on the topic of suggestions I would like DC to make the"unbanip" command like in the old cs2d.
The only unban command we have right now is unbanall.
Which is not good since it unbans the hackers.

use io.lines(filename) which returns an iterable element.

Be warned, to create such a system would mean that you will need a central server that's capable of logging all of these bans and a technique to distribute the client to a significant majority and to handle chronic requests by all servers using this script, meaning that the central server would have to be able to run at least 10-20 GB of bandwidth a day.

yes. this could be a problem. but I want to try it out, perhaps it works fine.

the CS2DBR@World suggestion is pretty much like the current ranking. which works like that:

• kill: +1
• death: -1
• bomb plant&explode: +3
• defuse: +3

the major difference is just that deaths have a stronger negative influence on your rank.

I don't see a reason to change the current ranking system.

of course this type of ranking doesn't work with prison maps since prison maps are rather pointless.
and it doesn't work pretty well for zombie mode since zombies die very often. that's true.

why DC hate prisions? its cool
anyway... about the zombies thing, maybe automatically turn off rank in this game mode, or change the values to something like this:

•kill +5
•death -1

as DC said, zombies die very often, so give them a bonus, but of course, survivors dont get these same scoring, they get the opposite:

• kill +1
• death -5

because survivors must kill lotsa zombies, and if a survivor die, then it turns zombie and start to get points by the zombie scoring

[off-topic] what is the file bodyparts.png for? an old relic of flying bodies prototype?

Unless you can afford a server that can handle a few hundreds of requests per second and deliver on a fast connection, it's not really plausible.

in my oppinion, it should be differents rankings for every
game mode... and for every server of course...

and just a little suggestion about the game:

c4 have to be defuse only by 1 person...
so, if the c4 is defusing by someone, then
other person can't defuse... in the current mode,
its possible to 999...9 players defusing in the
same time...

• Kill = +2
• Death = -1

• Bombplant (And explodes) = +3
• Defuse = +3

• Knife kill = +2

You should be able to edit things. Everyone disagrees so you should make a command for this.

I re-tested the ranking and I'll probably increase the score for a kill from 1 to 2.

please just disable the default ranking and script your own one with the next releases if you don't like the built in ranking.

things like different ranking methods for each game mode are far too complex and would lead to thousands of settings. not a good solution.
