I hope it's OK to post a request like this here.

I used to use ETB which worked really well for a long while but now it spawns dead bots.

I tried GlitterMod which is also pretty good too but seems to be pretty CPU intensive (as it has many features I won't use) .

There are one or two Eventscripts I could try - but Eventscripts is pants IMO and stresses my server far too much (IMO)

Surely a decent Team Balancer would be a worthy project for the new SourceMod plugin ..?

It should (IMO) only switch players that are dead and use an algorithm that keeps the teams balanced not just in numbers but also determined by the player's skill (KDR?)

If an immunity flag could be incorporated too that would also be ideal.

I'm not a programmer so I'm hoping someone that is would see this a project worth undertaking.

Please!

XAD provided me with the PTBX source code so I would port it to SourceMod. However, it doesn't have transparent team switching functionality yet, so I don't think I'm ready to do it. If users could settle for the "kill and respawn" team switching then it'd be doable.

There's a new Eventscript that does a great job of balancing players based on the ETB algorithm.

The thing is I can't use it as Eventscripts always makes our server unstable.

Any way that anyone could convert it to work with Sourcemod?

The script is here

Thanks, Extreme_One, this reference should lead us to an excellent PTBx portage to Sourcemod. No offense. :-)

hehe and a version solely for SourceMod? Possible?

It would most definitely be possible, personally I'd do it, but I'm working on a couple of other plugins, and have more to work on down the road.
