Hi,
We have just set up a new server running what is known as "Highlander mode" in TF2. This is where the server is set up as an 18 slot server with 9 players each side and a maximum player per class limit as 1.
The idea behind the mode is to balance the game to be played as it was designed.
We are currently using the class limiting SM plugin for the mode but there are a few enhancements which would make it a little more user friendly for the clients.

What I am looking for, if it would be possible for any of you guys to take a little time to try?, is a plugin which has all or some of these features that we could use.

1. Class requesting
- If a client wants to play a specific class, he chooses from a menu which one he would like to play, which then sends an alert to the player currently occupying that class asking if he would like to swap?
-- With this message, maybe it could be implemented that the person occupying the class could get a yes / no choice which then swaps the two players.

2. Class waiting list
- There could be two ways of doing this, maybe even offer a choice to the person who wants to play the class.
A person pulls up a menu and requests that they want to play a specific class.

-- Choice 1 - As soon as the class becomes free swap the first person on the waiting list to it (may cause death)
-- Choice 2 - As soon as the class becomes free, alert player 1 on the waiting list, if he does not change within x seconds offer it to person 2, 3 ,4 etc..

3. Vote "kick" a class
- Basically, if there is a player on the team who is just being a general idiot, or who is very new to the game and is not adding value to the team, the other members can vote to "kick" a person from a class.
This could provide a warning and then move the player to spectate / swap his class with the next person on the waiting list ?

The systems above would be employed using chat commands?
I.E. waitinglist, voteclasskick, classrequest ?

The main problem I can see with the system would be swapping players to classes when the class limit is one.. I.E. the server is full and all 9 players are taken, the pyro + heavy want to swap but the script can't do it because when it swaps the class limiter blocks it.

I'm no coder but I have the idea, any help or light you could shine on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in the server and want to give it a go, or just want to speak to me about it the IP is 81.19.219.165:27399 .

Thanks alot for your time.

That is a questionable assumption.

Well the classes were designed to balance, I kinda made the assumption that 1 of each class would be balanced in comparison to 5 pyros on a team which seems to be the norm nowerdays
