I've been searching around and haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm extremely tired of sitting in the readyroom and watching 16 people pile into the Marine Team portal, while 1-2 people join Aliens.

I would like to see a plugin, that after x number of seconds (in a perfect world, this would be configurable), everyone in the Readyroom would be shoved into "Random Team." At that point, the built in Team Balancer should take care of the rest.

Im going to look into writing an adminmod plugin, but I'm pretty slow when it comes to programing.

    That would be nice. But sometimes people do like to hang out in the ready room once in awhile. I would set to minutes.... not seconds if anything

    I despise when people hang out in the readyroom. The server is there to play on. If they want to chat, they should go to IRC or MSN.
    Too often I see 2-3 people hanging out in the readyroom when one team is shorthanded. Those people could make all the difference.

    Some times I don't want to leave a server, and I just go to the readyroom, thou if it's over 30 minutes I get a timeout .

    What if someone is afk for a couple minutes after a game ended? I think it is pretty reasonable to go hit the bathroom or grab something to drink after a 45 minute game. I think you plugin could cause a ton of afk people to be on teams. That doesn't help anyone. If they die in a base rush they'll steal respawn slots from actual players. On aliens they will suck up resources that the people who are actually playing could better use.

    I agree, but if they are forced into a team, they wont be taking up respawn slots unless they end up on aliens and the marines rush. Its *fairly* rare for this to happen on my servers. I can deal with this occasionally.

    Granted, but I also have a plugin on my server that kicks anyone that is idle for 3 minutes. They will suck up resources during that time which is unfortunate, but unavoidable.

    Im after the people that are trying to stack one team or the other. I get a LOT of people that rush the marine portal, and pile in until they get a spot. Sometimes 3 minutes after a game has started, there will be 3-5 people crammed in. Those are the ones I want forced into a team.
