Catch-all for all development not having a specific forum.

Hello.

I've been talking with people about what they feel to be the ideal sized game in Allegiance. 15 - 25 / side seems to be what I'm getting.

It would be nice to be able to set a game to be max 20 vs. 20 or 25 vs. 25, but without limiting the number of people that can come to the server. Unless I'm suffering from brain worms again, the current limits count the NOAT loafers too. How easy would this be to fix/change/implement?

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

What's with the hostility. Sorry about not noticing the other thead on the topic.

so that I don't necro an old post, and because Adept mentioned not counting NOAT, I'll put my two cents in here.

Rather than have an absolute value of team size as determined by max server population, perhaps have max team size as a game option. This wouldn't effect NOAT, as the current 'max team size' with AB doesn't effect NOAT, but it would allow a limit of players to be put on the game. And, since it is a game setting, then it can be changed after each game. If people want a 20 vs 20, they can set it that way. If they want unlimited team sizes, they can set it that way. If they want it to be 5 vs 5, then they can set it that way too if they please.

The best way to have the options would be, IMO, to have it in intervals of 5, up to 50 vs 50, and then 'Unlimited'

As long as it stays an option, because I personally love it when games start as 3v3 and end as 30v30. Anything can happen, and usually does. :)

Definitely. I meant exactly what Andon said above. It would be great to have the option to set the maximum size. Sometimes it would be better to have two 15 vs. 15 games than one with 34 / side.
