[DoD:S] Auto Skill-based Team Balancer/Scrambler v1.11

dod_stb_cwins - Amount of consistent round wins to trigger auto team balancing (Def)
dod_stb_lock - Minutes to lock teams after team balance (float) (Def:4.0)
balancetms - (admins only) Trigger teambalance

I have tested the plugin so far with bots under their death count and it works excellently. As you can see in the two screenshots, the teams are unbalanced, with 22 deaths on US and only 9 on the Wehrmacht. After instating a team balance, the deaths are evenly distributed with a final of 15 to 16. This same concept can apply to kills or objectives. The plugin also features an admin command to manually balance the teams (!balancetms). Cheers!

Sorry about that, fixed the error in version 1.01

We tried this out at a LAN party and it really does work
Makes game play much more fair, especially since there were people of all skill levels at the party.

Greetings, guys!

We tried this plugin on our servers and it worked pretty well. Great job!

Nevertheless, sometimes we have a little problem. For an example, enemy team with strong players blocks team with novices in respawn area (orange map, one way out, last flag to capture). Round goes on and on and noone could do a thing: "strong" team can't capture last flag, "weak" - to break through the blockade. And there is no admin on a server to deal with this problem.

For short, would you be so kind to make an addition to this plugin, that would trigger Auto Skill balance after some period of time (preferable, if Admin will get a chance to change that "period of time" in .cfg or in plugin itself).

Thank you!

Yours sincerely, Nikrett.
