What do the server modes mean?

(tokamak) #1

Is there some info somewhere on what exact settings are used for ‘standard’ ‘old skool’ ‘competitive’ server modes?

Not sure if you’ve seen this already (the manual for the dedicated server) , it describes the main differences in section 1.2.3:

from the manual:

Standard: standard, like in champaign mode

Advanced: Simulair to champaign mode however Friendly Fire is on and
voip is on by default

Competition: designed to support a more regimented and balanced
tournement style of play, where teams are smaller and gameplay is generally more deadly

Old school: “anything goes” mode, with no rank restrictions, no anti-social protection and no mercy

Custom: Only available for private games (?) Set up a match to your own speficications

I could have sworn I see custom matches with no passport?

Yeah, that is wrong - according to a post some dev posted in another thread here (http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=296944&postcount=3), custom mode is when you change anything from the “standard” configs. At least on PC.

Also note, you still get xp in custom mode - so no need to filter them for “ranked” anymore :wink: :oppressor:
