<div class="IPBDescription">Team Stacking Prevention</div> I've had this idea for a while, but it wasn't until I saw mahnsawces icon plugin that I realised how it could be done. Thanks mahnsawce. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

The idea is you can't see what teams people have joined when in the readyroom. It shows everyone who has joined a team as team 3. Which should stop people looking to see which team has all the good players and joining it. It seems to work pretty well.

After you have joined a team you can see the real team scoreboard, but you cannot return to the readyroom for 60 seconds. (time can be changed in the plugin)

This plugin is not compatible with mahnsawces icon plugin or the serverops plugin. Weird things will happen.

It requires the ns2amx module (at least version 0.12.2) which requires metamod 1.17 and amx0.9.6j.

Get the plugin <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=173' target='_blank'>here</a>.

    great idea, problem is most servers believe that the marines should have the extra man. Is there any way to show how many players are on each team. Like this:

    Team One: (12) Players

    Team Two: (11) Players

    Team Three:
    NSplayer
    NSplayer2
    NSplayer3
    ..............

    Ready Room:

    Unfortunately, to my knowlege, if you have the plugin display all players as being on team 3, then the team 1 and 2 lists will not even show in the scoreboard. Meaning a simple display to players in the score board would not be possible. However, having something like text appear in the middle of their screen displaying the number of players on a team would be possible, though it could be annoying for players in the ready room.

    Also cheesy, I believe this plugin would also conflict with prsearle's <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=64' target='_blank'>ServerOps</a> plugin, since ServerOps modifies the ScoreInfo message.

    Yeah I thought about adding how many players were on each team. Just figured I'd do it later as I need to think of the best way to display it. Probably just end up being a HUD message. Anyway thats v1.1. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks mahnsawce, forgot about serverops plugin.

    I updated it so it now shows how many players are on each team.

    Do you think you could release a plugin that is just the can not F4 for X seconds part? I have been looking for a plugin that does that forever, and would be extremely grateful if you did that! Or does your plugin allow you to disable one of the two parts?

    I didn't bother with a pic as its just plain boring text. But here it is in all its glory. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It shows at the bottom left of your screen while you are in the ready room.

    You can see what it looks like by joining our server at 212.42.10.242:27015

    Looks like device null is taking care of the no f4 for certain time plugin. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
