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

Are you using a custom balancer, different from wolfadmin one? I checked and WA balancer can be set up to blance by last player joined or by random player from dead people, or anyone not holding objectives (flags, docs..) and apparently keeps the player being balanced on top of the list. This is the balancer i used like 15 years ago: wolffiles.de/scripts/DMS/LuA Scripts/167_balance.lua

The balancer version I used back in the old days, added the player being moved by autobalance to the top of that list, so he wouldn't be switched again. Couldn't same thing be done with players who switch manually while the balancer timer is on? Isn't that how it worked? If you get moved, and go spec, and then join back the stronger team, you're last one, and well deserved to get moved again (this is what i saw with the old version and some players complaining about it). the problem with the old version is that at map start, it populates in a random way, the faster you joined the 'world' the upper in the lists. so basically someone with a crappy computer of connection would be always last, and so, 'the chosen one' I can't think of a more 'fair' way as the old one, imo it affected the most team switchers or people joining winning team (there are a lot of these also in TM) and also don't know the ways in ETL... but I think that version (where last one is moved, and if you move because you want or because autobalancer moved you, you get a 'safe pass' that you won't be moved again if auto balancer works again)...

Your easiest solution would be to enable balancer in warmup (it’s a variable inside the existent lua) and extend warmup to 40s. And a little code to set inactivity time to 10-15s in during warmup You will have little more warmup and teams balanced by script

Froggy, the popup config is client game config, doesn't get affected by server settings. For a default popup messages on left side, check your config has the following cvars: cg_popupFilter 0 cg_popupStayTime 2000 cg_popupTime 0 cg_popupFadeTime 2500 If you get them working with these settings, you can tweak how fast they dissapear decreasing stayTime and increasing fadeTime. Popup filter lets you show less info: https://etlegacy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cvars.html#cg-popupfilter

Check if you have that folder inside any mod folder. When you click mods it probably scans the whole homepath folder looking for mod names and also files with special characters like é or ~ Probably you're not opening ETL as admin so it tries to remove the folder but is not allowed to...

Wolfadmin already handles that, with a flag/ability "novote" that can be added to levels: Player cannot be vote-kicked, vote-muted, or complained against. https://dev.timosmit.com/wolfadmin/configuration.html

They all should, if they can't handle it they shouldn't be that level. Kickvote is harder to have it passed because only people on same team can vote, the dude is constantly changing teams and names, people won't know how to do /callvote <playerID> and the wrong player will be kicked, you have to write a brand new log system to control who calls a vote when....

Give me !gib command, i'll happily sit in spec and have fun

I agree with you that rushing maps is annoying, but the thing has been said already, when this happens it's just because axis (or defending team) don't do well on defending obj. 100% objective players have the same rights to play their way as 100% frag players or 100% bazooka players

There is a modified version of bremen called bremen_truckmod that I believe it's the same as bremen_final but with destroyable truck. In the mapscript you can put more health to the truck so it's more difficult to be damaged. I believe if you manage to play with globalaccums you can set a different health for each part of the truck run (maybe set 9999 health at beginning, 2000 after barrier 1 and 1050 or less after barrier 2) But my guess is that from bremen_final you can't make destroyable truck, at least I tried it and I couldn't find the way. I guess the model properties have to be changed in the map itself and can't be modified by mapscript, or I guess I don't know enough scripting Same for CP, it's the neutral cp used, so both teams can build it. Unless you try removing all the script for axis CP, and it stays with the neutral model but only allies can build it... You could try and see Goldrush: in my experience if you are engineer you have to take it easy otherwise you'll be bald at a young age, if you manage to get past all the enemy flamer, nades, landmines, mortar.... you'll get the final hit of your death by friendly arty, flamer, bazooka, thompson.... Even if you have a strong team and manage to steal both golds, there is a high chance for axis to stop it (engi can sneak and make second barrier, they can spam nades to truck, landmines...) About supply depot: how many times do allies capture flag before destroying main gate? It's way easiser to plant dyna down and let the script capture the spawn for you that trying to capture... Maps are biased for defending team in servers like teammuppet with high amount of players, all you have to do is wait and click as defender, the choke points are 99% for attacking team (Caen2 for axis is RIP....) So in the end, the best option will be to enforce defending players to play some time in attacking teams (and disabling mortar, always )

I don't think that could be coded like that, don't think there is a way to know if player has mortar set or not, maybe i'm wrong. Maybe using the spawn area boundaries coded by hazz to add fake roofs as in pirates allied first spawn, so mortar is blocked to and from there. Other options coul be: limiting the energy bar (so less shots by time unit), weaking the shell damage and/or radius...

Example of the mortar thing (last point)

Hey, I would add on these three, one thing that I've suggested in the past: Based on third suggestion, and always based on some admins argument that 'they want to play and not be babysitting', simplify the spawnkill rules: In situations where spawn is a flag, but it's mostly permanent for a team, don't treat it as capturable because most of the time it's owned by a team (example: et_beach allied spawn on flag). CP spawns, treat it as capturable or not, but the same for all maps, don't have different rules for each If you really want to simplify, make sk a standard (example: 1000 radius for small spawn areas, 5000 for bigger spawn areas, this is just random numbers, but could be done) In maps where one team can have advantage of mortar placing it near spawn exits or inaccesible areas for enemies, disable mortar for both teams or punish the mortar with advantage. Example of this was pirates map, fortunately they are disabled now, another example i've just seen is in supply depot, axis mortar between the 2 axis spawnexits, if you want to get him by mortar you have high chances of getting kicked for sk
