New Points System

[Derray]

Brannigan's Law here, all I can say about the new points system is it makes the server a little bit to easy to make sure the whole team gets the safe room. especially with the revived when dead thing, I tried it out and I let a jockey kill me and I revived myself from death 3 times and just strolled into the safe room. Just bleh with the old points system people actually had to work as a team. Also If I have enough points to spawn 3 tanks I should be able to not limit to only 2

 

Also can I get a guide so I know what the tiers of infected does?

Well since its new, I'm sure JackieChan can try and balance it a little more to make tings more even as we see more how it works out and what people think, he's pretty good at that. Thanks for the comments though! Without people like you then we would never know how to change things for the better.

 

lol i used "more" three times in that sentence

I kept it at the default settings to see what it's like. The plugin is scheduled to deactivate at the end of the month anyway so after that it'll be reverted back to the old one until I hear from Sky again.

 

Also, there's no real way to deactivate something in the plugin.

 

I'll see if I can't tweak it enough to my, and everyone else's liking.

So Jackie came in this morning and changed a few things that made it feel like the old system. Making it where you can only revive once and such.Also a guide to what the tier infected can do when they are upgraded

Thanks for your input. I let Sky know about it. I wanted to make those things more expensive. I made any Survivor ability 60 points so you have to save people, kill stuff and whatnot to get close to respawning yourself. I might even make it worth 75 points since respawning is like giving the infected the because it's completely negating the infected's work.

 

I'm going to fiddle around with the point amounts and whatnot some more. I might even make buying things survivor-side more expensive in general (apart from the ability/item categories), but not by a whole lot.

We might have to put a limit for buying 'Full Heal" for the 10 points to maybe 3 max buys per round. Everyone is settling into the use of points so everyone has that heal ready for a simple 10 points. Maybe just raise the points for it, if not possible to put a limit on buying heals.

 

Also, if you do put a limit of 3 per round, do the same for infected heals and lower the price to 25 points for tank heal.just couple of our ideas.

I was thinking the same thing. People are too readily buying insta-heals, and i also think we should limit them and limit the number of !repeatbuys you can do. But unless Jackie learns how to do that in source coding sometime soon, it prolly wont happen. We need someone really good at source coding.

[Sky]

If you really want something 100% custom and exclusive, just let me know. I don't mind writing something for someone and then giving them the source to it. The only reason I keep the source to my current plugin private is I like people coming to my place and saying "I cant find this anywhere else."

 

 

Though, at the moment I am setting it up where you can enable, disable what items show up for purchase, as well as what items show up in what order. pretty awesome )

 

 

Though, the new usepoints (4.6) runs around 280 different changeable variables.
