First, I have updated our rotu to try a more efficient process for some of the longer running tasks. I used https://github.com/leiizko/cod4x_lua_plugin/tree/master/LuaScripts/Rotu-R and we can see how that works out. Typically when we had a crash there was a suspected infinite loop during the waypoints calculations on finale... I think we have a good chance of this being our solution.
Second, Rotu right now is our most popular server... I think we should add some features to this and would appreciate any suggestions @ElementX, @Puma and anyone else who is a rotu fan speak up ...
Here are a few of my ideas....
1. Remove lousy guns from soldier, and engineer. Soldier gets that single shot gun 2nd, does not seem like an upgrade to me... Engineer gets horrible shotgun 1/2 way though. ( we should be able to do this in config )
2. Remove barrel & mg or make it more useful, wider range, longer life... what do you guys think on this ? ( we should be able to do this in config )
3. Add a stun type of weapon to freeze the zombies, ( We may need some help with modding to add a new weapon )
4. Reduce ammo for some of the special weapons ( we should be able to do this in config )
5. Add tanks to dog rounds, for every 5 dogs add 1 tank ( we should be able to do this in config )
6. Change the finale message to be more JFF specific. Got some details from the developers, but not real sure if accurate or we can do.
From 3aGl3: If you just want to change the wording, there is the english/localizedstrings/ folder. It contains "all" the text used in the mod. Please note, that not actually all phrases are in there yet, as the original Rotu mod did not use the localization system very much
7. New Item - Gift Money... that is a nice feature on some of the other servers, also think people who signed up on the forum should be rewarded with some extra feature.
8. New Item - Somebody suggested be able to pay money to extend your turrets.... This might be a neat idea considering not so easy to buy and place on some maps.
---------------------------------------
If anybody has any suggestions, add them here so we can consider them. If anybody thinks they can help with adding new weapons let me know. I am comfortable with the scripts but not so sure about the graphic part of it.
Keep the ideas coming, I am going to make a list and start going after them... Is anybody here sharp with compiling code ? I am thinking we should change this value on our rotu and recompile... It's in cod4x and if something still running after 6s waits then does a map rotate... Opinions may vary but I think this is where we are having our crashes. So we have option to try and speed up, or other option to maybe make this 10s and see if that stops the problem.
