    As $ i w y said, sadly this mod is dead, almost no one is playing it anymore. A few months ago, some youtuber went on our server and the server was full for about 2 hours, and in the 2-3 following weeks there were often 10 people online on the server, but then it went back to being empty almost all the time.
    I also miss a bit the times when I was trying to survive chased by 40 zombies :D


    Anyway, I also was a huge fan of zom_db, and when all servers began becoming empty, I tried to find another mod I would love, and the one I fell in love with is KTK :love:
    So if you haven't yet, I think you should give it a go, you may end up being addicted :D


    Server IP is: 91.121.21.210:28969

    Trusted players already have the perms to vote map, because I have the same opinion you have.


    Check this: KTK server - Map changing and Votes


    But mirko is regularly updating the GSM (MAM) and sometimes there are some little bugs or stuff that needs to be done again in order to work with the new files. And for now the vote map command (!vote start map mp_mapname) isn't working.


    When mirko fixes it, you'll be able to vote for maps (btw, only vote for maps you know. Some maps in the maps list (!maps) are bugged with the mod).

    Hey,


    can someone give me a short briefing?
    What's the actual state?


    I think we can put KTK 2.10 on the main server. I'd say the mod is stable enough.


    I'd love to see a few final bugfixes though, but I have no idea when Viking will work on this, and people have been waiting for the update for a long time now.


    If you have some time to merge the 2.10 version with our files, that would be awesome :D

    First of all I want to thank all the members/ admins/ leaders/ etc. for this very very active community of a game that`s statically "dead".
    Second of all I see that already great suggestions about new rotations are made, but I am wondering about the terms a map will be added in the rotation?


    When you say "the terms", you mean how long it will take before a map will be added to the rotation?
    Well for now, I don't think I'll add any map before the mod is updated, simply becuase some maps might work now and not with the update, or the contrary. And I don't want to lose time testing this, because I don't have this time (because of studies etc etc.).



    You (UFaced) removed maze1 because it`s a hell for assassins, but why not removing Lolzor1 (no wallbanging possible) and Poolday (not enough opportunity to wallbang because of spawning place guards)? Or what about putting those 3 maps in the rotation but on a very low frequency? I really do not have an idea if that is possible.


    Quick answer: Maze1 was worse than lolzor and poolday (for assassins).
    I will be able to disable specific hardpoints in the next update of the mod, which I will surely do for lolzor, poolday and maze1, so it should be funnier for everyone to play those maps.
    Also with the update, it will be possible, when a map was just played, to choose that it won't appear in the vote for the next X maps (X = 1 or 2 or 6 or whatever I want). So yeah it will be possible to increase map diversity on the server.
    But currently, the reason lolzor and poolday appear so much in the vote, is because the server population has decreased. Because the maps appearing in the vote depend on the number of players online. There are a lot of maps in the rotation which are great but never played, because they would appear only for 20+ or even 25+ people. I don't want to make them appear in the vote when there are less players online, because usually it results in a population drop because the map is too big for the number of players.
    But trusted players can still call votes for those maps (that's one of the reasons why I enabled voting for trusted players), and see what happens.



    off topic: Can someone explain to me, or give me a link of an excisting thread, why it is NOT allowed to spawnrape guards, but it IS allowed to spawnrape guards? Assassins weapons and health is less in comparison to that of guards. In my point of view it doesn`t make sense. Thank you for your anwer in advance.


    The answer is easy, it's because it's much more frustrating to die as a guard than as an assassin. When you die as an assassin, you just remain an assassin. It's very easy to be in the assassin's team. When you become guard again (because you were killed by king), you're happy, but no, some spawncamper kills you and you're assassin again, and it's much more difficult to become guard once again.
    There are a few other arguments which I used in the past but won't take the time to write them again. Maybe someone can find the post where I wrote them, idk.


    How about toybox, it's a fun map.


    Yeah, fun, but IMO doesn't fit the mod so much, and the music can get quickly annoying. Feel free to call votes for it from time to time though.



    mp_4nuketown: A larger/newer version of the "normal" nuketown to fit more people :D


    I didn't really like that map so I never added it. But after all I think you're right, could be nice for the mod. I think I'll add it (for 15+ or 20+ people).

    What happened to maze & luna?
    Love those maps. Could you bring them back? Also, as Robert mentioned befofe, I think crossfire would be a nice addition.


    One love.


    I think crossfire is bugged.


    Luna has been replaced by Luna2, which is better IMO (and has no harmful glitch like Luna). I think Luna2 can appear in the vote when there are 20+ people online.
    Maze1 was removed because it's a hell for assassins. The king just camps 24/7, and guards just have to shoot at the entrance without even aiming. And assassins can't even wallbang those camper bitches :D However, when we update the mod, I think I'll put it back in the rotation but I'll disable most hardpoints, so it will be easier for assassins.
    And yeah as far as I know Crossfire is bugged with the mod. I'll try putting it again once the mod is updated.

    About the ban: That's my fault, I didn't put any time so it was just a troll ban, like when a Trusted Player or Member does !tb (name) (reason) without a time. It's fake and says it's a real ban for 5 minutes but the player doesn't get banned or kicked or anything, it just says in chat that they got banned for 5 mins, which isn't true.


    I read that here: Trusted Player Application- gamias
    Just wanted to point out that it's not ok to falsely kick/tempban/ban someone.
    And you can clearly see the reason why: The kick/ban remains on the player's profile on our stats page (even if the command is bugged and the tempban doesn't work), and as you can see on gamias' application, it can cause issues. Especially if you add a "serious" reason to the ban, like here where he's tempbanned for "hacking".
    It's not the only reason btw, it can also make trusted players look a bit like funny guys having fun with their powers on the server. It's not horrible, you can indeed be a trusted player and be fun, but IMO it's not a good way.

    Meh, not nice to hear :( Hope you'll fix it soon ^^


    Btw, another very small idea:
    When someone is put on the ground, instead of just writing "X is on the ground", would it be possible to write "Y put X on the ground" (Y being the assassin who put X in last stand)?
    Always good to know who to hate :D
    And when it comes to the king, people always complain about "kill steal", so at least now they may have their name written (which is not much, but still a fun touch).

    You don't understand if you remove it there will be no one with those pics in the game and therefor the game will be a clean sever.I am sure more people would play death run if the game was a clean version like pXg|DR there sever is clean but only one map has 'Dirty pic'


    What you don't understand is that those pics don't affect the gameplay. At all. Keeping or removing them, it won't change the way people will play on the server. It won't change their gaming experience.
    Furthermore, these images are not "porn". At most, they are "erotic" or "sexy". I don't think it's a big deal.

    I'm sorry, i was busy the last weeks, but i gonna start working on it now.


    Nice to hear that, I was becoming a little bit desperate :D I thought we would be able to put KTK final version on our main server before the summer ends but that seems a bit compromised now x)

    Ich habe mit Virus vor langer Zeit im Ts über meinen/Unseren Ban gesprochen, und wir sind zu de entschluss gekommen
    das ich eine Unban Request machen soll!


    The only thing you said is that you talked with him in TS and that he told you to write an unban request. You never said that he said he would accept the request. Sorry but I'm not a psychic, I can't know what he told you if you don't even write it.


    Anyway, now just wait for @Viruz and we'll see if you told the truth.
