Game Server Administration log

[Pants]

All admins who make a change to the gaming servers should post here, publicly, in this thread with a quick description of what change was made. This is an experiment, but we should see pretty soon if this will serve well enough or if we need to come up with something else.

(example of post format. The posts themselves are timestamped, so we don't need to include that?)
#3 Arena: Apollo increased team size. (Apollo: please include details of how that change was implemented.)

[Apollo]

Server #1

Fixed the line sv_visiblemaxplayers in server.cfg

set sv_visiblemaxplayers 25 so it matched all our other servers.

What this does is hide the last slot so that the server doesn't get spammed w/ people trying to connect to the last spot, preventing reserved slot members from connecting. This also adds to server stability.

Servers #6 and #7

Config files have been added to facilitate using these servers for the 3v3 and future tournaments. These cfgs can only be executed by a Full Admin or a Senior Admin.

To start Tournament Mode:
Go to the admin menu under 2.Server Commands->2.Exec CFG->6.Tournament Mode On

To end Tournament Mode:
Go to the admin menu under 2.Server Commands->2.Exec CFG->7.Tournament Mode Off

Uploaded plugin to server #7 for Shenanigan's (6/26) to Blind players on spawn.
This was a last resort if no admins were to show up or admins did not have powers to use blind.

#2 2fort: Wednesday evening, MONDO installed Jazzysax's biu.smx plugin (Block Intelligence Unassigned) on 2fort, thus preventing any further use of the join-unassigned-while-holding-intel exploit on that server.
