Ditch Team Captains?

[HTM|Minion]

I installed this to try and help team balancing, but I have heard complaints as of late against this for several different reasons. If you guys think it's more trouble than it's worth I'll remove it.

I vote ta ditch it,either they don't vote at first then can't get back to vote menu or they leave us hanging when they leave server & it's their vote. It seems too they like to exit server during vote then rejoin the team of their choice after new map starts.

Then there is the issue for me to leave the server,I have to hit the win key to minimize the game only it won't let me close it without doing the ctrl,alt,delete.This might be a 64bit win7 glitch

I have to type exit,in console to get out ,myself

[HTM|Minion]

The console won't open using the 64 bit version?

I hit the tilde (~) to open the console and type "exit".

I really don't care if it stays or not, I put it in because the teams were always unbalanced and it was even more trouble to get players to change teams once the game started.

Sorry for the double post, but I did change the "escape" key back to normal yesterday, so leaving would only require hitting "escape". This however also closes the Team Captain window which sucks if you are a captain and don't know to type "Mutate teamcaptains" to bring it back.

I keep forgetting that,just a habit of hitting escape and that's been since the game came out.If this was the only bad point I'd say keep it but the vote thing is a pain in the arse.

Is there a way to have team balance without the actual vote process? That would be a plus.

sigh

ok so im still half hung over i didnt understand the quewstion..

no point in me voting then now ;)

[HTM~ZenEye]

isn't there a team shuffle mod? Like we would vote a team shuffle from ut2vote? All we need is to randomize teams after each game.

[HTM|Minion]

It wasn't really randomizing that was the problem, it was balancing the skill. For instance if we had Anarc][y and YellowDog on the same team it was always near impossible to beat them. That's where Team Captains was nice, it always took the two highest scorers and separated them on different teams.

[Freak]

We still ended up with Ana & Lagger on the same team,usually cause 1 would join late or actually 1 of them had a bad game on the map before.

[HTM|YellowDog]

lol i voted then read that it was already decided..... oh well.... that's what I get for spending my time with hookers rather than here where i belong

[HTM~CheeZmonZter]

i voted anyway, it adds too much time to the game with people not voting or leaving, I do like that it balances the teams out but not at the time cost.

[HTM~ZenEye]

Could we take the team balancing mutator off? So that way we could adjust teams manually with team switches?

[HTM|Minion]

Getting people to change teams is like pulling teeth, once the game starts half the players ignore the chat and it causes even a larger delay that Team Captains did.

The automatic selection function worked pretty well, but there was still the delay between game end and map voting (which I personally liked if I had to run to talk to the plumber between rounds).

Good point!

[HTM~CheeZmonZter]

ok with the auto, but the manual...took to damn long!

[Freak]

It would work fine if it wasn't for human error.Fully auto would be fine.
