Hey all, I just want to start by saying how much I appreciate the work TeamMuppet, Flo, and everyone involved put into running this server. In my view, it’s by far the best place to play ET. Everything below is simply a suggestion from a regular player who enjoys the server and wants to contribute something constructive. Over the past few months I’ve noticed that the map voting pool often includes a lot of new or lesser known maps, while the most popular ones only appear every fifteen or sixteen games. As i understand it, the server currently only allows the same maps to be played once a 15 map cycle is completed. As a result, favourites like Erden and Delivery etc show up far less often than many players would like. This can be very frustrating... especially if you have an absolute favourite and miss it. I understand the intention behind encouraging variety and giving new maps a chance... it keeps things fresh. At the same time, I think there might be room for a small adjustment that still respects that goal.... allow the most popular maps to appear slightly more frequently in the voting pool. These maps are popular for a reason... they are balanced, fun, and attract players. Allowing them to be voted on more frequently would make the rotation feel more satisfying for the majority of players, while still keeping space for new maps. To help TM think about this, I’ve set up a community poll where each player can vote for their top five maps. The maps that receive the most support would be an indication to TM about which maps could, if they were so inclined, get special treatment. Meaning they could reappear sooner in the rotation, for example by reducing g_minMapAge for those maps only. I spoke briefly with Flo about my frustrations with the current config and he mentioned how difficult it is to please both sides. Some players want more new maps while others prefer the classics. This suggestion aims to give both groups a fairer system. Please vote below for your top five maps. It will also be interesting to see if there are clear favourites. Pick the 5 maps you enjoy the most. The poll contains all 32 maps currently on the server. You can vote for up to 5. Vote here: https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJaMY0Gg3 Feel free to discuss your choices in the thread too. Thanks in advancce for taking part. The more votes we get, the more informed TM can be about what maps people actually want to play. Hopefully, our friends at TM will consider allowing these maps to come up more often in the map pool selection. Cheers Danimal

Salut les amis 🥰 Teammuppet est vraiment mon serveur préféré 🤩 Vous me connaissez sous le Blase de oO0KUT0Oo ou oO0ups Je ne suis pas un très bon joueur, comme la plupart d’entre vous qui performait de fou 🤪 Je suis Handicapé de m’a main droite celle que j’utilise pour la souris 😅 Donc oui souvent je joue avec la MG et le Mortier dû à mon handicap et je comprends que beaucoup d’entre vous m’aime pas ! Beaucoup me pousse ou me snobe les munitions 😅 Mais je fais toujours de mon mieux pour protéger vos arrières. 💥 Je joue énormément en défense dû à mon handicap car main droite me permet pas de courir après les méchants 😅🤣😂 Mais je tiens à remercier tous les joueurs qui me soutiennent en munitions et médical. Hello friends 🥰 Teammuppet is really my favorite server 🤩 You know me under the name oO0KUT0Oo or oO0ups I’m not a very good player, like most of you who performed insanely 🤪 I am disabled in my right hand, the one I use for the mouse 😅 So yes, I often play with the MG and the Mortar due to my disability, and I understand that many of you don’t like me! Many push me or snub my ammo 😅 But I always do my best to cover your backs. 💥 I play a lot on defense due to my disability because my right hand doesn’t allow me to chase the bad guys 😅🤣😂 But I want to thank all the players who support me with ammo and medical supplies.

Hey everyone, I’d like to bring up something that has been bothering me (and I’m sure others too): the SR (Skill Rating) system on ETL1. In theory, SR sounds like a good idea. Reward players for winning, give a sense of progression, maybe even improve matchmaking. But in practice, it’s doing the exact opposite and is actively harming the gameplay experience. Here are some of the main issues I’ve noticed: Team switching to protect SR Players constantly switch to the stronger team just to avoid losing SR. This completely breaks team balance and makes matches feel one-sided before they even properly start. Players that get auto-switched move to spec or simply rejoin the other team. Leaving before the match ends A lot of players leave right before a loss is inevitable, just to avoid a SR penalty. This ruins the match for everyone else and leads to incomplete or uncompetitive rounds. Focus on SR over gameplay Instead of playing for fun, teamwork, or objectives, people are playing for SR. You see selfish behavior like stat-padding, avoiding risky plays, or not supporting teammates if it might hurt their rating. Discourages fair competition Rather than encouraging players to improve, SR promotes avoiding losses at all costs. That means fewer players stick through tough matches or try to turn a game around. New players get punished Less experienced players end up with low SR and get stuck there. It can be frustrating and discouraging, especially when they’re matched against stacked teams. Toxicity increases When SR is on the line, people take losses more personally. This leads to blame, arguments, and generally worse vibes on the server. Doesn’t reflect actual skill Winning or losing in a team-based game doesn’t always represent individual performance. A good player can lose SR simply because their team was unbalanced. ET has always been at its best when people just jump in, play, and enjoy the game without worrying about rankings or penalties. The current system pushes players toward selfish and unfair behavior instead of teamwork and fun. What do you guys think? Tl;dr: Remove SR, it improves the game.

🎆 Happy New Year, Muppets! 🎆 Wishing you all a year filled with epic wins, legendary plays and endless fun together!

You certainly did signal something. Anger management issues. This is not how normal grownups start a conversation.

Well, I reverted back to original version following the feedbacks. It means it removes: - randomization of player to be balanced - no move feature below 3mn left duration - announcer to encourage self balance due to massive damage difference between teams

Hello, for the custom config, I will check again how to enable custom votes to load different configs. In the meantime, there is still the wolfadmin command that was done for that: !loadconfig [3|9] to switch between the two different campaign configs installed on this server. The default is 3x3 and is always revert at server restart (everydays at 05:30AM). As for shuffle and balance stuff, I just installed on this server the same custom LUA we made on main server: - checks at each intermission, after 15sec elapsed - compares overall XP per team and winner of the match to decide whether to shuffle teams or not. Trigger is >40% difference for winning team. Hope this will help!

Hey evercore! It was the specific message you posted - "yard you never fucking heal you jew". "Jew" has nothing to do with the fact that he's not healing. I also understand that yard had also had a couple of warnings within the same 1-2 days. You can always initiate a kick-vote in situations like this and if others feel the same way you do, the player will likely get kicked. I'm usually quite patient (thx for backing me up on this, mxtor) and usually do post messages instead of warning or muting or kicking - but as Ande also pointed out, this kind of language is not warranted. We want all players to feel welcome on the server and such wording can easily put someone off. Hope you understand - I've otherwise seen you play well on the server and a few mins of cooldown is sometimes all we need.

TM is 24 years at this year. @MiniMuppet and @MrMuppet is still around

Hello KUT! Thx for introducing yourself to Muppets Its always good to have heavy weapon operator like you bcs you are great support to your team. As Rosen wrote - play as you wish, good fun is what server is about. I know ppl disrepect HW players in many ways, i hate pushers so much See you on server, MG hungry! PS: gimme back my freaking MG!!! 🤪

Apology accepted 🤝 hope to see you on the field so we can work together and rock it as a team or give each other a good old fashioned gun fight as opponents cheers

I take a look if i can compound panzerwar and crazygravity in one vote. And make it end at map ending.

Hello, thought I'd reintroduce myself again, and a lot would remember me using the alias valk. That alias is no longer in use and now go by the name of boo, but you can also call me Ryan. I am 29 years old and soon to be 30 in April. Since the last time I was introducing myself here, I have had a baby, and had a boy, named Oliver, he's nearly a year and a half and one of the reasons why I use boo is because he loves me calling him that. I also started doing jiu jitsu a number of weeks ago and really like going to every class, three times per week. Enjoy the server a lot, and find myself mainly at ETL1 a lot. Thanks for the read, and kind regards, boo.

Server is now updated. Should not give false gamehack alerts. Did also give it to me when joined earlier. Inforerces contacted me after hes ban so reminded him about rules and respecting our members. Hes unbanned today. Let me know if he still causes problems. If there is doubts about cheating, we need demo from it.

Modified on OM server: - server snaps from 20 to 40 - geoIP = 1 - rate from 25-45k to 90k - cl_maxpackets range between 100 and 125 - voting percent from 60% to 50% - allowing nextmap vote option - externalized some scripts outside gameserver to reduce lags

Even I have time to play... Come back

Yep! That was the level Beginners had some months ago, then some of our usual players didn't come back, or we could see them from time to time... Maybe they are coming back since some spawncampers have been banned... I hope the server will keep this number of players now

You were muted by myself, the random admin, because you insulted one of our TM member. Please read our rules, don't expect anything good from TM crew if you insult one of us.

I don't know man. For someone who doesn't like us and don't wanna be here - you are still here. You know all the inside-outs of beeing TM member and enforcing rules, the way different members/admins enforce them (some more strict, some more lenient) and how this is a job to benefit a community. So if you wanna be in TM server you got to behave and understand that while you were TM member, you were privileged a bit more because we could have talks with you in member section of the discord hub and you were sometimes forgiven more than regular guest would have. But leaving TM and closing the door behind you with a band and constantly burning all the bridges - you are just becoming more and more someone who just do not fit in the server. There are more servers to go to, there are other communities to join or to start so if we are such communist to you then you should start searching new home elsewhere. But it never is, my friend. Never with you. Sad. But you are still getting replies and not shown the door, so there is still a chance to fix your shit and behave. Don't f*ck it up. Happy halloween weekend to you.

Stypek I believe you can understand TM are players before being admins and we can’t see everything everytime…I didn’t witness the situation that led to your ban but I can guess that you asked a nasty way, as often with you, and that you didn’t get listened mainly due to that. And well, communists, mushrooms, Russia, Poland, voting system or whatever else you are rambling about on a daily basis we just don’t care. It’s a video game, not a politic debate area, I’m sure there are places dedicated for such discussions. In short, I would advise not to go further in your adjectives now or situation could only worsen, we don’t have time nor energy to debate for days.

Hang on to your broomstick, Halloween is here! Our server and website have donned their scariest costumes again for our yearly spooktacular Halloween event. Come and join us, if you dare!

Hi all, I was wondering if it would be possible to tweak the auto-balance system so that players who have been on a team from the start of a map are less likely to be switched late in the game. Instead, balance changes should prioritise moving players who joined midway through (or later), unless there really are no other options. The reason I bring this up is that I have been switched quite a few times with only 3–5 minutes left, despite having played the entire map from the beginning. It feels especially unfair when someone who joined my team just minutes earlier gets to stay, while I get moved. It is frustrating when you have spent the whole round fighting hard to support your team and push for the win, only to be pulled away at the last minute. For me, it is not just about SR (though that matters too), but about the time and effort invested in backing the team you started with. I completely understand that balancing is important, and sometimes it is unavoidable that long-standing players get moved. But in most cases, I think it would feel fairer if late joiners were the first ones affected. Just my two cents... curious to hear what others think.

Ok let's try this idea. I added a condition to deactivate the autobalance when there is less than 3 minutes remaining on the map. Also takes into consideration the time bonuses. Let's see if it helps and don't hesitate to bring new feedbacks.

I agree with you. Imagine autobalance in soccer match where one player contributes to team whole match and in the end will be put to other team because other team is underperforming. Idk if there have been more changes made to autobalance but by default it should swap the player that joined most recently. Issue is or was that game considers each match as all the players joining in again. So the one who takes longest during map change is considered the most recent player even if u have played for hours

Hello, I remember your case. You were pissing off all server with your mortar all day long and were pretty proud of this, taunting other players. That's because of players like you that we modified the server. Indeed it's no more possible to stand mortar in protected areas, was too unfair. Also, the rules changed and you'll find rule 18 covering the fact that it is no more allowed to exploit mortar the way you were doing it. I don't know what happened for your kick but I believe the admin who kicked you already had in mind your past behavior with this mortar and your proud intention to piss off all server with this weapon. We don't tolerate such behavior anymore, fun is for everyone, not only for you.

is this THE original Team Muppet (TM) back from the Black Hawk Down (mainly) and CSS days of the early noughties??? Main guy that ran it was Kermit (obviously, I guess) and we we had the main guys as Gonzo, Big Bird, Scooter etc. Miss piggy was Kermit's lass I think? UK based team. I was Wolfy, one of the starters in competitive games. M4/M204 freak, left leaning corners. It's been so long I have no idea if any of the OG's are around - but I hope so, looking to re-connect.

oO0ups je pensé, que ça vous le traduisez automatiquement 😅 Oops, I thought you were translating that automatically 😅

Voted. Thanks for the suggestion!

While I believe this is a good idea, I’m not convinced that it will still satisfy the “play new maps” criteria. If those maps are indeed so popular, chances are they will always be voted over the “new maps”. Nonetheless worth a try if technically feasible IMO!

Hello! Nice introduce Glad they added some guns player like you!

Hi Uber, nice post. You are that player with that beautifull flag. What country are you from ?

Thanks for quick reply it was working now again no idea what happened and the question was if I did something wrong. Actual I have no discord installed Greetings from Austria

stypek347 is a pleb who TKs then gets you kicked when you return the favor. he TK me cause i couldt give him ammo fast enough i do the same and he gets me kicked. little pleb!!!

Hey everyone! I’m a 27-year old guy from Finland. My name is Esa and In-game you can see me using Narko as my nickname. I’ve been playing ET for about 19 years now, basically grew up with the game. My brother introduced me to the game and I was instantly hooked. I spent countless hours playing ETpub and Jaymod, and then I later started to play ETpro. It’s really cool to see TM thriving, even though ET itself is slowly fading. In terms of my background, I’ve previously been part of TWC clan, where I was the supreme of NoDownload and Nitmod and also held a supporter rank across the TWC community. Some of you may know me from there. Most recently, I was part of ANMLZD. Outside of ET, I also play OSRS ironman, group ironman and CS2. I’m a huge car enthusiast and currently I'm working on my project summer car, 1981 Mercedes-Benz w123 (welding really sucks) and I'm starting to be finished with the project 😛 I'm also a huge dog lover! Cairn Terriers, East European Shepherds, basically all dogs and animals are awesome. I watch alot of hockey. I'm a big fan of Lahden Pelicans and Pittsburgh Penguins. This was just a quick intro about me,nothing crazy in my life, not much else to share with you all Looking forward to playing together and getting to know you all! See you on the battlefield! Narko

I agree Wontkins raised some valid points. The rules are hard to enforce to keep the teams fair because of SR, when a player leaves in warmup ( because of win probablity to avoid losing SR ) the server shuffled before that and it makes teams uneven from the start. Removing SR will make the !shufflebysr command redundant, I'd suggest then something like !shufflebywr (winrate) based on most matches played.

Banned

Cheater confirmed. Thanks for reporting. He is now banned on all our servers.

Thanks for the reintro! Great to know you ! Have fun!

Total XP is reset if someone collects a Prestige point. SR is vicious because not very accurate ELO computation, it is mainly in favor of stackers. This approach is bit "elitist" and we would block non-stackers or non-pro players from using weapons which are a full part of the game. Maybe something around wolfadmin data could fit, e.g you need to be seen at least 20 times on server before being allowed to use heavy weapon, so that you get time to know maps, rules, how people play on this big server and so on.

im not sure about basing it to SR only. someone who always joins weaker team never gains sr. But your point is good

But how can a player get experience if he is not playing? On another server there is a rule that someone can only play with panzer for 3 maps. (The player has to tell in front of map how often he has used panzer.)

Yes,i thought so, well i expect to see you soon to game Fox 🙂

Hi! Nice to meet you Not sure have i seen you at server allready. A lot old folks still playing this game! Maybe it makes this game special.

Nice to see that the server is still doing good! Im not having much time for the moment, since im working at my house. But i'll be back soon

Again today almost full 😍 Sadly i can't join, still in Czech Republic aaah, don't have my gear to game

I understand that my reputation follows and it is hard to believe that in that last interaction all I wanted to point out, is the rule that is hard to police over, and maybe Tm would consider adjusting it. It is what it is. Thanks everyone for your time to read all of this and watch the demo. Thank you all for your replies; well recieved as a food for thought. Thanks to @Ctrz for the last sentance, always grateful for a little bit of positivity. Have a wonderful weekend all. PS. Not trying to tell you what to do, but I think the topic is done.

Sty your demo shows that you just asking troubles. This is same shit why you have been banned earlier.

Please revert changes and let last joined get moved... After a week of playing everyday it's the same story and most good players keep joining stronger team, and then other player get moved... The 'I get moved when i try to even' is a crap story, and i have few demos to prove that

First of all, thanks for feedbacks and bringing them here so we can discuss and keep track of what is needed in the end. I do confirm the autobalancer script was modified, the 24th of June this year. The logic of the former version of the balancer script was basically to populate tables in order of appeareance of players joining teams. Then it moves the last one in the table when it kicks in. So it was always switching the player that joined the team the last (new player, or already-switched player). We changed to a total random method instead. The culprit that we tried to address was the fact that when strong players/TM members/friends were trying to balance a map, they were very likely to be switched back to the other team as soon as teams are unbalanced in terms of numbers (-2 less in one team). I understand your point tho. It's very hard to always find good balance when tweeking this game. When you try to improve a situation in one side, it alters another one on the other side. I'm all happy to listen or discuss about any idea that could cover these both situations or improve the server on that topic.

aussi, j'ai oublié de mentionner, désolé monsieur @oO00OoupS, vous êtes un excellent membre de la communauté!
