Idea for coders (?)

(Infinitypl123) #1

Well I am looking at old and new games and I am thinking about what to do to make them better and more friendly for players.
I have few ideas but one is the most important and it can’t go out of my head for a long time.
After release of the source for ET coders can make almost everything right?
Why can’t we make a system for playing on servers like it is for example in League of Legends. Please do not hate, this is idea which can make playing more friendly.

There will be a list of match servers which will start after 12 players found eachother.
Full process in steps:

  1. Start Wolf
  2. Click Find me a team
  3. You are added to random group of players
  4. After searching enemy for you one of the servers is starting
  5. All 12 ppl are joining the game
  6. Voting for all players

Do you like that idea? This thing can be really apprieciated by players who don’t have enought time to find match or even to find good server to play.

I really like the idea behind that! To have this feature besides the normal use would be really great. You could just join in for a quick gameround without the long search for a nice server between serverfacades/empty or bot servers.
Nevertheless I don’t know how you want to get through with this project since many projects are currently searching for coders and the feature you are supposing includes creating a proper ‘control panel’ for this option, etc… This is not simply done by one single guy. I’m not a coder but I understand that this is a huge bunch of work.

I don’t want to trash this idea since I also like it but I think it is rather unlikely that someone will grab this idea up. Hopefully I’m wrong with my opinion!! Let’s see… :slight_smile:

Well I’m not a coder too :(. I just want to help with making this idea possible to create. I can provide servers, ftp, databases, players everything like this but I can’t code it.
I hope there will be one or more coders who can carry this.

Is it comparable to the Valve games lobbies?

You need ELO for this, right ? How can you prevent players from just leaving ? Will teams be fixed then ? Like in League: one leaves = 5 vs 4.

Also you need idle servers. What if there are not enough servers ? Will you have to wait ? But it could be possible of course. You would need to follow a certain protocol, like with the MS server.

Well it could be like this: when player leaves someone else is connecting just like in public servers.
I can make 4-5 servers to idle and I think there will be someone who wants to make that kind of servers.
