Feature Requests

[Demiveil]

Hey there guys.

I'm looking to get back into contributing to the continued development of the SiK servers and was wondering if anyone had any particular ideas for features they would like to see on the server?
It can be reasonably complex as my skills have improved significantly over time, but of course nice simple features are more likely to be finished in a timely fashion.

But yeah got a request chuck it on here and I'll see what I can do.

Well, i don't have any suggestions for the server atm but I would like if we can find another game tracker since game monitor is broken most of the time.

Ok, ive been thinking about this and as Sex said it would be cool if the server had the Map selecting option when u win, and a point system to earn and earn when winning race, for example on Mr green's server only the first five places on a race earn points.
Another thing would be the rate map system like in SKC, rate from "Delete!", to "Awesome"(like my maps ).
And finally another idea that i dont think other would like, but i do, is when selecting the next map it should say Random map or Redo, i guess that would fix the votespam thing, so it select random map from the list, and its faster than voting for 1 of the 9 next maps .

[Sexmaniac]

Yes, ALV is right. No map list, no redo, just a next random map...gives a much faster gameplay...

The 8 maps to vote after race is fine.
But if two or more maps have the same amount of votes one of them should start, so not another vote just for these 2-3 maps

I have 2 sugestions
1. I want to see the numbers of top times that I have. When I press F10 only I can see top times set, but if I have 300 top times when somebody beat one of my times I still have 300 not 299.

2. I want to see the stats of all of the people, using a comand like !stats [SiK]Sexmaniac for see the stats of sexmaniac.

[ALV]

Black theres an stats command already: /stats "name" xD

[Blacky]

lol, didn't know, thanks

An option of redo or play again after the race ends won't happen, that will be spammed to hell by noobs wanting to play the same shit map over and over.

Other than that lots of great ideas here, i hope your able to implement at least most of them demi.

[Blacky]

Anyway some servers have a limitation of play again. You can only use play again 1 time or 2 times.

[ALV]

Yeah, its not to play a map infinite times, there could be a limit like 3maps in a row then it changes.

[DemonSeed]

I guess...........

Some of those ideas sound pretty good Gives me some stuff to go off.
For the redo idea, I'm not entirely sure if its necessary, but one thing I could do if we did want it would be to change the ratio required in order for a redo to occur, so rather than just being the majority option it instead required 85% of the votes or something.

And Blacky I think the top times set stat that your talking about is displaying all of your times in the top 10, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless I agree it should ultimately only show your actual 1st top times.

I'm not sure about the winner chooses next map idea, kinda reduces involvement further for those not winning, and lets be honest when your racing on SiK against SiK racers you don't win often But what do others think, maybe you guys do like it.

Yes the toptimes do have a date associated with them so I could display this, might also think about doing a notification system so when you join the server if any of your toptimes were beaten it notifies you.

One thing I would like to do is an idea I had awhile back of adding a bunch of awards at the end of each race based on what players did, so have some random things like most deaths, most distance travelled, least distance travelled of a finishing player, most flips etc etc....And display these nicely during map votes, and could also include some personal details like number of points, number of races completed, win loss ratio etc in that.

But yeah, I'll look at adding some of these over the coming weeks

[DemonSeed]

Damn that sounds nice, can't wait to try them out
