View Full Version : Football Server

While in the past few months I've noticed MG kinda go downhill, I've received comments that Football has killed it a bit. I'd like to make a recommendation, if we have the bandwidth, to make a Football server and take all of the maps off MG; of course this doesn't include the multimaps with soccer. Keep in mind, this is only a recommendation.

Respectfully,
Moopies :D

If the server is added, Wouldn't the server be dead?

The football maps played on mini games are the multigame maps aka swag, yolo, lego

And then there's mg_football. That's the 1 map I would have moved to a football server.

Would be more inclined to say that we just remove said maps that kill a server's population.

We had a soccer server previously and it did not really work out.

1)If we do have the space to spare a server with atleast 15 spots, I say give it a shot.
a)Very easy to setup and maintain
b)I am thinking it will decrease the amount of times that yolo,swag,bforce,football are played on MG
c)a few years ago noob galore had a soccer server and it did really well! And, 35% of those players who started in there went on to become CSS Soccer players in serious servers.

2)For the past 6 months, *** clan has had a soccer server up. It is however constantly dead. However
a)Here we have alot more members/players and can spread the word about the server
b)They didn't have any points/tips of how to play soccer in css like: rates,positioning, how to hit the damn ball...and pass.
c)There is a European public soccer server and it has almost 8+ people in it at any giving time. Therefore, with the right promotion, the server can hold its own player base

3)I suggested that we hosted a 4v4 soccer tourny. Many liked the idea!
a)If the soccer server does happen, having a tourny a few weeks (with prizes) after its up, will get people to atleast try out the server

4)My friends list is almost all css soccer players, and they do miss a public soccer server to mess around in with new people

Not sure what else to say/add :)
Just my opinion on the matter!!

I can see this happening. Like having tournaments and stuff. Plus just doing events. Sounds fun, plus, it will help out the population on MG.

Many words of Labarr

I'd actually be okay if we had something like this. Recently, CS:S Soccer sparked my interest. A couple of months ago, I didn't really enjoy soccer on MG but until now. It's been pretty fun when there are people who know what they're doing
because I certainly don't..

I'm fine with giving it a shot if we have the resources, I'm just saying that SG has not really committed to a soccer server in the past.

What happened to the SSL(Or whatever they call it now) public servers that basically did this exact thing?

First point makes sense, the second part bothers me. A lot of those people (Assuming we have some of the same friends) "mess around" by absolutely stomping on people who are new to the game and stacking a team so they win in the first minute every round.

If we get a soccer server, and you fill it with your friends and then a player from SG who wants to try it out joins, they will have a terrible experience having so many serious soccer players in the server.

P.S Xeno is bad at soccer
Pls, I played soccer way before you, and have an infamous trick shot that I invented. I also held a record of most goals by a defender in one game. Com@meboi.

SSL have been gone for many years.. and is wayyy before my time. Now its PSL.. They have never had a pub server.

Yes. I know what your saying.. And honestly I have no idea how we can stop people from playing together lol. But i think its something that we can deal with if it comes down to that.. ei: step in and swap players to different teams (like how if there are too many cts in jailbreak...) to make it more even.

The problem is you can't just remove a whole map because of one multigame in the map, SWAG and YOLO are the most popular maps on the server and they both have football games in them, Paul knows a bit more about what maps kill the population, but I don't think removing SWAG/YOLO etc will be very good. Battleforce soccer is hardly ever played anymore as well since we have the mg_football map.

I didn't mean the multigame maps, I meant the soccer-only maps that he was referring to that kill out the server. Even if they are hardly played, it's not worth having maps on the server that almost guarantee a server clear-out IF they manage to be played.

Paul's mg_football_v1 does NOT kill the server. He actually made soccer more fun by adding more variety in it.

Bforce soccer though, is really crappy.. and is never played anymore because of paul's new soccer map..

Another big thing I want to say/add..

The server would be running the map ka_soccer_2010ssl_b4?

i dont think this will work out, not at this time. i think it will steal many players from MG wich will result in a slow death!

i like soccer, but you can get too much of the good stuff :trolltle:


its good soccer on mg, cus we see who we TK :P

I played on a soccer server way back when, and I may be misremembering this, but I'm pretty sure they had a mod that would keep track of the goals scored by the players and balance teams accordingly. So like if there were 2 people on one team with like 10+ goals each, and the other team the top player had like 4, it would swap one of the 10s with the 4 or someone else on the other team

I could be wrong about this, it was in like 2008 and I played on it for like a month tops and havent touched the gamemode since

I mean Soccer Mod 2011 (which is wat all the soccer servers use) http://addons.eventscripts.com/addons/view/soccer_mod_2011

It does track goals per player and such.. But I have yet to see it be able to manage teams like that. AFAIK.. It seems like this would have to be something made from scratch..
