* Setup (for server admins)

- Currently, this mod supports only win32 and linux i386.

- Download mod from this site.
  http://d3.jpn.org/warsow/warsow_pickup_20070721.zip

- If you have installed old version, delete .pk3 and .db files.

- Copy "modules_031_pickup_*.pk3" to server's basewsw folder.
  Note: Client don't need to install any files.

- Add these lines to your server's config.

// required for server-side mod
set sv_pure "0"
// whether enabled auto rejoin after match end. deault: 1
set g_teams_autorejoin "1"
// how to choose teams. default: 1
// 1: sort players by kill/death,
// 2: sort players by damage_given/damage_received
// 3: sort players by score/match
set g_teams_shuffleby "1"
// stats DB filename
set g_db_filename "stats.db"
// how to identify players. default: 1
// 1: auth by nickname
// 2: auth by nickname + (first 16 bit of IP)
set g_db_playerauth "1"

* Flow of pickup games (for players).

- pick players up on IRC.
- if pickup is done, connect to server.
- join teams.
- if all players joined teams, then do 'callvote shuffle'.
  teams will automatically be chosen by stats.
- ready up.
- match start.
- match end. all player's stats will save to server's db.
- teams will automatically be chosen to play next match.
  (this can customize by g_teams_autorejoin)
- ready up.

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

most isp's use dynamic ip addresses for their clients, which will more or less make this mod useless from a pickup perspective.. sry hmm
personally i think nicknames would be better since you can change your nickname easy. or have the players auto-register, like.. first time you play a pickup you'd get a passwd/uid you then have to put that in some cvar in your cfg(maybe even auto put it in there with stuffcmd?) to be recognized in the future, or maybe all three combined ? smile

Also i must warn you that having the stats public might backfire.. this happened when i was running servers for #tdmpickup.se, put up a nice voodoostats page and everything was fine, peons were positive for the most part... then certain peons started playing for stats which meant less teamplay and other odd behavior and eventually i had to shut the stat page down... never expect peons to be nice peons. be warned! smile

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

imhotep:
thx for suggestions.

- player identification
i think ip is not so suitable for identification of players. but well... this is first step smile.
identification with nickname have fake nick issues...
identification with uid/passwd is good idea, but point is how to implement it on server-side mod (which means i could not modify client-side code at all). it's not so easy for me to implement it.
any good idea to identify players?

- stats
yeah i know there is ppl who are playing for stats (not teamplay). and i don't like those ppl tongue. main purpose of this mod is to choose even teams on pickup games, so i don't have much motivation to create web stats site and ingame stats command like "rank" or smt. (it's not my business tongue).

You could try it to do like Inumeg does for his server, by setting some server-readable cvar which contains a username or UUID and probably  a password. The problematic thing in doing this is that everyone hosting a server could read that var and fake as another player he got the information from ...

public domain means giving up all copyrights to the software and anyone can alter and use whatever license they want so i guess it'd be ok.

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

there is something strange thought in the statistics:

name                  kill    death    teamfrag    suicide    damage_given    damage_received      score      match
TEC:bluespear      35       18        0                 0               107                      2072                      35        10
RuLAN | pana+S    28     24       1               0              2092                    2082                    27     11

How can TEC:bluespear have 35 kills and only have given 107 damage?
While Rulan has 28 kills with a given damage of 2092.

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

why? one guy is doing a lot of damage and another just coming in and kill (so he is doing 2 maybe 20 or 60 dmg only)

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

Well that means he has done 3 damage with each frag?
:S Sorry but i dont think so.

If he had given 1000 damage that would be reasonable

What you can do is use some sort of cookie. When you go on the server you automaticly download an authentication file which will be recalled if you reconnect on the server. Like so if someone renames himself it will still log all frags/deaths.

Re: [MOD] Warsow Pickup mod - auto team shuffle by stats

I've released version alpha2 (20070611).
I changed authorization scheme from IP-based to nickname-based.
http://d3.jpn.org/warsow/warsow_pickup_20070611.zip
If you installed old version, please delete .pk3 and .db files.

I also added experimental identification scheme by nickname + (first 16 bit of IP). (g_db_playerauth 2)

For example, if nickname is "Guwashi" and IP is "111.222.135.246", player identification is done by "Guwashi@111.222" (this means nickname + first 16bit of IP). This will work on class B ISP, but well, there is some ppl who is using class A ISP...  so it might not work for those ppl...

Can't you do it with some sort of cookie? and check the name from the config file in warsow?

I know, But if you for example register on the site, receive a cookie, recall it from the server.... that might work no?

I thought classes in IP distribution where  canceled since CIDR.
I've noticed that even the first 8bits are not standard anymore (in my ISP at least).

We certainly need some kind of player identification system for warsow.
0.4 with wswTV, 0.5 with wswID ? big_smile

An amazing job Guwashi nonetheless. big_smile

Does the pickup server have this mod enabled? Would be great to test it on our pickups ;D

What a freaking internet! tongue. hmm, my knowledge about internet is really out of date yikes. I'm a bit old man in this world...

btw, my last ad-hoc idea is identification by nickname + location.
There are free database which can lookup location (country, region, city, etc.) from IP (e.g. GeoIP by maxmind http://www.maxmind.com/app/ip-location). By using this database, identification is done like this:

"Guwashi@Tokyo,JP"

How about this one? ofc, the accuracy of lookup is not 100%. And maybe nick faker sometimes have same location as target player.

To implement reliable identification system is big issue. If we include it to basewsw, we need to consider more from various view (though I dunno basewsw needs to include auth system tongue).
