First of all, let me say, I apologise that my first post is a request. But my friend and I have an idea in mind and we want it to be seen by people that may be able to help us.
I checked the mod search and came across the TF2 Randomiser.
It is pretty similar in spirit to what I want, but not quite.
The name is the first clue, it is a combination of Scrim and Scramble and what I want to happen is the following:
12 players join a server. Upon readying up they are presented with a menu with 10 options assigned to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0
These options are to be
opt-outs for certain classes and would be as follows.
1. Scout
2. Soldier
3. Pyro
4. Demo
5. Heavy
6. Engy
7. Medic
8. Sniper
9. Spy
0. Random all
So If I
didn't want to play sniper, spy or demo, I would hit 4,8,9
The plugin would then remember these choices and scramble the teams whilst remembering each players assignments. You would then play the match (potentially with ridiculous class layouts).
So to recap. All 12 players would be assigned to a random team with one of 6 random classes that they didn't opt out of, and that is the basic drive behind the plugin.
There may be other things to consider from a balance/fun point of view:
Should each death reward a new class from the pool?
Should people who pick randomly get some sort of benefit?
Could there be an option for admins to pick a class?
Please discuss what you think about this idea. I was hoping to make a server just based around this mod and I have a small community of players willing to help playtest it.
Your input is appreciated.
Bliss.
