It seems since people are having issues with PTBx in windows (Im using linux luckily) a new version might be released soon. I ask of you XAD that you fix this issue:

Example, The stronger team has 1 less player, lets say 11vs12, and the team with 11 players is dominating the larger team but PTBx wont make a single switch unless teams are even or winning team has 1 more player. Please make it so PTBx will switch 2 players even if winning team has less players. ETB would do that but ETB sucks! Other than that I LOVE your plugin Thanks!

XAD, are you still alive? I'm surprised how long this went without a reply....

[XAD]

Hmm, so you want to a variable to allow changing even if winning team has less player?? Think it could be fairly easy to implement but not sure if it would work or cause more problems...

PS! We do not run a CSS server anymore and I haven't even been playing CSS for some time, so this type of changes would be hard for me to test...

I run a very popular Linux based 28 player, 66 tick CSS server in Texas called NOOBS Paradise where I run PTBx

72.36.151.84:27015

Actually I have seen it on occasions swap players even if winning team was 1 short. I guess if the smaller team gets insanely strong it does a switch.

Hmm, I read the code again and team switch will occur if winner team is "stronger" and has equal or less players than loosing team. If winner team is bigger than loosing team a player will be moved from the winning team to the loosing one.

Just make sure you allow team transfer of alive players or there will be no players moved from the winning team unless one of the "good" players are killed. ("PTB_DEADONLY" set to "no", "0", or "2".)

Note! If only bad players in the winning team can be transfered PTBx decides that it won't even out the teams, as a team with many but poor players will not be even against a small team of elites (and it's quite a high risk that players on the loosing team will disconnect).

Hey, XAD, I figured it out! This is how I made PTBx very aggressive and effective on my server and it's working out perfectly. With this config, it will switch a better player from a smaller, winning team, to the bigger losing team. here is my ptb.cfg, obviously the values I've changed are the ones not with //

One question: How can it work perfectly if you comment "ptb switch on". There is no team balance in that case ?????

In my configuration files I have most often put the settings and their default values as comments... (all except "//ptb off" in this case)..
