How come you took off the scramble teams after the games ends?

Now it's the same teams map after map with usually the same results..

kinda sucks when a game is stacked then stacked again..

nice to change things up.

nice server anyway :)

Not now no. We took out the Insane Balancer because it was causing issues. Admins will be able to scramble via a command, but for now that's about it.

We never had it set to scramble after each round. But I can tell you the difference you were seeing...

About 2 weeks ago DICE released a BC2 server update that broke the rcon tool we were using to scramble "Wolfcon". Wolfcon is no longer supported, so scramble was no longer an option, however we have been using dual rcon tools, the other was Procon. Unfortunately Procon did not have a scramble plugin that was working. Our clan offered $100 for a scramble plugin to be developed for the BC2 community. As of yesterday we once again have a scramble cmd that we can use when teams get out of wack. In fact we used it heavily this evening. Because of TKC the community once again can enjoy scrambles when teams get out of balance. And not only that, but we are talking to Procon developers about creating a more advanced scramble plugin that will take into account players skill level. So you see, we acted as quickly as we could to the problem.

Thanks for playing on our servers. :icon_teeth:

I bet he was on the with T3, I, and a few others when T3 first got the plugin from the dev. He tried it out and it said "teams will be scrambled at the end of the round". If I remember correctly T3 did it twice in a row to test it out. Worked great!

Why would he be talking about that? We haven't used that in months.... like 4 or 5 months.

Eh, just a thought since he said "How come you took off the scramble teams after the games ends?" Like I said, I could be wrong.

haha I'm not sure exactly what it is I just know about a week or 2 when i was playing on the server at the start of the game it would say something like scramble teams or teams scrambled.

I played like 3 games in a row and it always said that at the start.

Yeah.. must of been imbalanced teams.. those were manually initiated scrambles.
