I don't get the reason for theses changes.
If the goal is to try to modify the playing behavior of players it is pointless.
What ever the stat system is it won't change the way I play.
If the goal is to play tactical then get in a locked server so only players on TS are able to get in and make it clear when the guys get in that the game should be played that way. There is enough Games hosted now that I think we can lock one of them for a period, not permanently, without any problem.
Then explain to me why there is stats at the end of each map?
I would suggest, then to erase all traces of stats, so like that
it will be a huge free for all and ok for everyone.
Personnaly, I will never accept a guy who as been kill 79 times
to be on top of the stats list, or a medic who revive the rambos
to be also on top of the board.

I don't care if I'm - 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 at the end of the map.
I won't change the way I play if we don't make it mandatory for every player in the server following the "rules", which cannot be achieved on an open server.
Lock the server and everybody on TS with all on the same page.
If not then all the setup does is alienate the Medics who won't play medic anymore.
I will never understand the fixation on the stats, it's beyond me.
And I do respect what you are striving for but I don't believe it can be achieved by using the stats.
Been there, Done that
It has been tried before and it did not change anything at all.
Does that mean open season on Chuck and ranker? I got a satchel for every beer can that we hear open and another for every tabernack we ear uttered. hahahahahaha
Basically – DON’T Die a lot, kill teammates or respawn & you may break even on a k9Map.
There are heaps of AI on my maps (generally 350 – 500) so 3 players should be able to get a max of 2500 points for bot kills. More if you take the time to headshot, multi-kill or knife. Also, with k9Maps, you normally have at least 5 -10 goals so that can gain you another 100 points by destroying targets.
You will also find the k9Maps have a lot of PSP’s as a rule (min 10) so whilst not high scoring, there would be an additional 70 points up for grabs. Assists are evenly weighted with kills so Teamwork on vehicles would be wise, especially if your counterpart is a medic.
Unlike most stock maps which with 3 players are over and finished in about 20 mins, the k9Maps will take on average about 45-60 mins to complete. This tends to account for a normally high death rate when compared with stock maps and on average I would see players dying at least 25 times. So expect to see a -50 for dying.
Another thing worth noting is that the maps now have names and all the named versions have self adjusting accuracy scripts for the AI depending on the number of players in the game (Big Thanks to AMP for his help).
This means the maps are playable by single players and well suited to 2 or 3 players. The more players that join, the greater the AI/bot accuracy increases.
e.g.
"Map Adjusted for Single Player") accuracyspread = 40
"Map Adjusted for Two Players") accuracyspread = 30
"Map Adjusted for Three Players") accuracyspread = 20
"Map Adjusted for Four Players") accuracyspread = 12
"Map Adjusted for Five Players") accuracyspread = 9
"Map Adjusted for Six Players") accuracyspread = 7
"Map Adjusted for Seven Players") accuracyspread = 5
"Map Adjusted for Eight Players") accuracyspread = 3
"Map Adjusted for Large Group") accuracyspread = 2
So if you have not played a k9Map in a while, take another look, you may find it easier to play as a single player or with a small group.
Oh, and before asking, nope.. k9 scoring is not open for discussion (Map Makers privilege) Feel free to like them or hate them, play them or not play. If you want to make you own, please do.
The above changes will come into effect next time the k9Server is reset.
I plan on experimenting with some scoring in my Server as well soon here, Ranker knows what I'm talking about, (yes ranker, the example I mentioned in email the other day, may see about trying that out and see how it does)
But Generally over the last couple years I have come to realize and find that discussing the Scoring systems is well...
This pic about sums it up...
WOW, I think something is screwy with Forum Attachments, image isn't supposed to be blow up like that, its just a small animated GIF image...
Still, its just as funny in large scale as it is in small.
"Maximum image width
Specify the maximum width of an image posted using the [img] tags here. The value should be in pixels.
Entering 0 will disable the Limit Image Width MOD"
Sig size was set to 500 pixel width . Now it is set to 0 that means no resizing any more!
