Cube - CTF/INF Ultimate Balancer
Back to: Scripts Database
- script name: cube, or ctf/inf ultimate balancer
- original author: fri
- core version: 2.7.6
- Description
- Unlike most balancers you've seen, cube balances teams based on the difference in number of players AND team scores.
- Regular balancers check whether the difference in number of players is greater than 2, and moves a random player to the opposite team if it is. cube doesn't stop at such a plain check - this is where team scores, swaps and player choosing methods go into play.
- Features list
- - works with CTF and Infiltration gamemodes
- - uses seven methods of choosing the player to be moved, including "least caps", "worst k/d ratio", and more
- - avoids flag carriers not to ruin the game
- - automatically puts new players into weaker team
- - gives some "immunity time" to moved players, so they won't be moved again too soon
- - disables itself in the last 10 seconds of a map (to avoid "wrong map version" problems)
- - supports some well-known triggers such as !alpha, !spec (+aliases), and, of course, !balance (!bal, teams, ...)
- - "team-changing" triggers can be disabled or limited to X uses per player per map
- - locks the recenly moved players in their new teams, so they won't fight the system and go back
- - in case of a big unbalance, admins can shuffle the teams using one simple command (/mix)
- - admins can swap the teams of two or all players at once
- - you can exclude some people from the balance by putting their nicknames or HWIDs on the exclusion list
- - can keep teams' scores even if all players left (optional)
- - (dev) the code is commented and thus fairly easy to understand
