HEXUS CS:S Server Betting & Custom Maps

[ajbrun]

I've recently added counter bet to our CS:S server for a trial run. Basically, when you're dead, you can bet some of your money on what team will win the round in the format below:

bet <team> <amount>
team is either ct or t
amount is either a number, or you can say '1k' or 'all' to bet everything you have

So, have a go on the server, and let me know your thoughts. If no one likes it, it can easily be taken off .

This all about because someone suggested it to me, so if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know, and they'll be implemented depending on popularity.




Note to admins:
I don't want to see anyone using their admin powers to influence the outcome of the rounds in order for them or anyone else to win their bet. If this happens admin privilages will be taken away from people.

It's a good plugin, nice way to make some cash back as well

[sawyen]

yes.. its an idea that makes sense.. having to start a match on the losing team with nothing more than $1500 is a pain really.. my beloved P90 cost almost twice that amount minus all the armour and bits..

its ****e, take it off

[ifyouknowme]

crap take it off
it removed the winners cash adavantage

[Yohji]

It's not as if you HAVE to bet...

[unreal]

I think its good, nice way to make it a little easier for teams on a losing streak to try and even up

[BEANFro Elite]

I say add it as it makes waiting when dead (although a rarity for me) so much more tense and interesting.

You don't HAVE to vote so there really isn't a lot to lose if anything...

Take it off. its a stoopid distraction

[ifyouknowme]

after playing with it for a while i dont really care if its there or not as it makes so little differnce

[ajbrun]

OK - looks like it's going to be taken off then. I do see how it can be seen as annoying though - someone could have way more cash than you not through any kind of skill, but through guessing the winning team. It's not really what CS is about.

lol weve swapped ideas at 1st i thought that and u thought it was ok now i think its ok and u think that
its up 2 u i dont mind

[ajbrun]

If I'm honest, it was never my idea in the first place. A few people had suggested the idea to me, so I found out how to do it and made it happen to see if people liked it or not. I've since found out that it's not been such a popular idea and has since been taken off the server. There are other suggestions such as the mugging mod that I will take into consideration, so expect another thread similar to this one next week .

[ifyouknowme]

cant we made the mods so we can change which ones running in rcon or sometihng ?

the we could just use the one we want to play with or turn them all off

just an idea dunno if its possible though

[Trippledence]

It would be good if we could turn it on an off depending on what sort of gameplay is going on. Sometimes public servers can be quite hardcore, but when its a bit more of a mess around the betting would be fun.

Give admins the option to turn it off when people start being too stupid
