Most of the time it happened too fast to be an issue, but there is apparently room for it to cause a problem at some point if there is time for you to observe the player morphing to another team. I personally never got a chance to see it, but some of my admins did.

Right now the time is set to 4 seconds at round end before a player is swithed to the other team.
If that time would be just a little higher like 4.5 seconds the teamchange might occour when a new round has started.
Think if PTB transfered a terrorist with the bomb to CT
That would not be so good would it

I hope you understand now.

Yea thats fine. I see now that now additional time can be adjusted for the very reason you describe...would be a mess if that happened.

Can you give 1 or two examples of this using real number.
AND
What about Reserved slots? Does that make a difference since a
16 slot server with 2 reserved slots really only has 14 slots available for
non admin personnel. How does that add in to the formula? If you set it at server max of 16 but it can really only hold 14 non-admin players could that create a problem? thanks

@jd91651

For a 20 pl server:

amx_ptb maxsize      11  // maximum team size per team 
amx_ptb maxdiff      2  // maximum team size difference

then it can be 11 vs. 9
or

amx_ptb maxsize      12  // maximum team size per team 
amx_ptb maxdiff      4  // maximum team size difference

Then it can be 12 vs. 8

On your server I would set

amx_ptb maxsize      9  // maximum team size per team 
amx_ptb maxdiff      2  // maximum team size difference

Then it can be 9 vs. 7 or 8 vs. 6
I'm not really sure how your 2 reserved slots would affect with that setting, but try it out and see for yourself.

[new_idiot]

Can someone tell us how it works with the reserved slots ? We count those ?

[Trip~Hazard]

Sort of depends really on the number of slots you have. I purposely have 21 slots, using 1 for reserve so my amx_ptb maxsize is 10 since the teams can truely be 10 on 10 at full.

If you have a total of 20 slots using 1 as reserve (19 player total) then I would try keeping amx_ptb maxsize an even division of your total slots. (amx_ptb maxsize 10 for a 20 slot). Otherwise you would have to pick 9 which would be limiting one player and may cause issues....not sure on this. You can experiment both ways....not gonna ruin you either way.

My Ptb doesn't change the good players to the loosing team.

I get this msg very often
PTB: Round ended, checking teams.
PTB: Can't switch players, need valid target in each team.

I run a 20+2 slots server.

Any help ?

[lantz69]

Change
amx_ptb maxdiff 1
to
amx_ptb maxdiff 2

And change
amx_ptb playerfreq 7
to
amx_ptb playerfreq 5

That should make more valid targets

Also the big error in your settings
Change
amx_ptb deadonly on
to
amx_ptb deadonly off

This version of PTB can switch alive without killing them so amx_ptb deadonly Should always be off

My PTB doesn't really work at all... only makes people autoselect teams. I've got 17 slots + 2 reserved.... I'd like it as strict as possible so it makes sure the teams are always even (right now sometimes its 28-3 etc)... Thanks!
