I think the teams were a BIT unbalanced on that one.

Ollj · May 2003

19 ppl and all dead. muhahaha. team autoballance helps.

include · May 2003

All dead because we were all waiting in line to spawn in 1 Infantry Portal, lol

Why the game didn't end? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
If there is a 3 or 4 player more on one side than opposite side, the game automatically ends.

Not if the server admin disabled it.

MooMan · May 2003

You have to wait till those 3 or 4 people spawn till the game will actually end, so ti would have finished brofre 1/2 of them were spawned

Ahnteis · May 2003

This is exactly what 90% of 1.0 games were like. Thank goodness those days are gone on most servers. (Yes, I was an alien most of the time.)

wasnt that a bug in 1.03? I thought they fixed that or something... (dont quote me on this one <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>)

Frogg2 · May 2003

I believe it's a bug where if the marines have no spawn, the autobalance wont work.

I never tested that but it seemed to only happen when the spawn was destroyed early by aliens.

Thansal · May 2003

more than likely this server simply didn't have the patches

and thus no auto team balance (dear god I love team balancE)

yah, 19 V 3 were REGULAR games for a WHILE till the tools finaly got what was coming to em (now they all just stand in the marine spwn till some one leaves <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>)

Supernorn · May 2003

if you leap into a join area at the same time as someone else, you both join the team. This can lead to some major, if not accidental stacking.

ElvenThief · May 2003

Autobalance fully works if players go in 1 at a time.
But take a ready room with a wide portal for joining marines. 4-8 guys awaiting a marine slot to open, by just chilling in the portal. 1 guy goes alien, all people waiting to go marine join marine team at once.
It's rare to get, but you can still have a wikkid stacked game if it happens. But if it's that bad, usually autoconcede will kick in and game over.

Roobubba · May 2003

whatever that server was has maxplayers set too high, on tanith you should be looking at generally sub 100 pings (assuming most are not 56k of course) in a full server even half way through the game. I'll be willing to bet it gets horrible on there on hera mid game :/

Zeroshin · May 2003

the ppl have to be alive for it to be considered balancing, if there are 3 more ppl alive than the other team's entire team, then the autobalance takes effect and ends the game

Vash7h3Stampede · May 2003

I know that autobalance is a great thing, but what happens when you need to turn it off. I have played many LAN games where the number of people does not make for even games, and even if it did, we sometimes want there to be more marines than aliens or whatever. I just wish there was some way to turn it off without turning tourney mode on because then team killing becomes too big of a problem. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Mjr_Beatings · May 2003

Yes, it can indeed be very annoying if you want unbalanced teams, although you could always turn sv_cheats on and get everyone in, then turn it off. I think that would work. Just make sure your auto conceed is set to a high number

Mindmeldme · May 2003

ah, coward stackers...god that's always funny. The best part is when everyone wants to be a marine...right after the aliens win for thier third time. I don't think i ever see alien stacking.

Iced_Eagle · May 2003

nope ive never seen alien stacking either. and aliens are so much fun too.... why does every single player want to go rines??? there is like 24 people in RR and 3 join rine and 2 join alien and that is how game starts... its rediculous (btw what does "rein" stand for when you are waiting to spawn??? my best guess is reintegrating but then again that sounds wierd <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>)

include · May 2003

hmm, perhaps you're right...often wondered what rein meant.

maybe it's reindeer or something... er....nevermind.

BTW, that picture is sorta old, I just found it again on my hard drive. It was probably before 1.04

2of12B0RG · May 2003

everybody wants to join marines because the hax dont work the same for aliens

Arcadius · May 2003

For some reason I've always taken REIN To mean reincarnating. Don't ask me why, just always have.

Spazmatic · May 2003

God bless the TSA!

Gliss · May 2003

I used to think REIN was Reinstating, as in you're being reinstated into the game... makes sense, right? I was wrong. While reading the titles.txt so I could change it to the proper spellings (Skulk, Gorge, Lerk, etc, instead of SKLK GORG LERK), I found out the REIN stands for Reinforcing. So I changed that, too. =)
(Even though it says not to)

Good point Roo, not off-topic in any way at all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Mjr_Beatings · May 2003

I too always assumed it was reincarnating, I think it sounds better than reinforcing so I will keep saying I am reincarnating until someone slaps me for it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
