Suggestion For Minigames Scoring.

[Raptors]

I've decided to make this because people are getting too worried about scoring and about the points system (or so I think)

 

First off, I feel that the scoring system in the Minigames server is too unfair. It rewards for kills and not for map completions (New time record/Just completing it.) I feel that if we had a different way of scoring ourselves, maps being played would change from ski mountain to awp submarine to goldeneye to tomgreens multigames to hells multigames/any other kill map to other maps that are more diverse than "here's a gun, now shoot everyone and get VIP for doing that" minigames is not about getting kills, its about getting good at strafing and bunny hopping.

 

So, how do we change the system for the better? The answer is simple. We stop using the old scoring system and switch to a new, and better system made just for that game mode (because we are not playing deathmatch or defuse/hostage missions) So here is what I think we could add to the scoring system:

1. A pre-destined "start" and "end" destination to each course map
    
   
2. A timer to know how long it took you to get to those destinations
    
   
3. A new leaderboard where you can check record times and compete to get better times than those record holders
    
   
4. Getting points based on how many times you have beat that specific map and what times you beat the map with (if you are higher on the leaderboard, you get more points than just beating the map with a average/slow time)
    
   
5. Adding a "style" (need to find better word) command that lets you choose weather you would like to have custom settings on (these settings could make the map easier like low gravity or bhop assisting or they could make the map more challenging like only using the S key or not using the A and D keys or they could make maps different like making yourself faster or slower than normal speed)
    
   
6. Adding leaderboard sections to JUST those styles, knowing who holds the record of "best time on mg_insert_map_name_here_vx_fixed with the style y."
   

This is what I could think of right now (I took these ideas from a more popular minigames server hosted by Casual Mature Gamers with the iP of the server being 205.234.203.9:27015) hopefully this can make minigames better.

I don't get what your trying to convey.

 

more diverse than "here's a gun, now shoot everyone and get VIP for doing that" minigames is not about getting kills, its about getting good at strafing and bunny hopping.

 

Are you saying you hate all of minigames.

I'm saying that i dont like how repetitive the average map rotation is on the server. I feel that if we change the system, we can have better map rotations. " if we had a different way of scoring ourselves, maps being played would change from ski mountain to awp submarine to goldeneye to tomgreens multigames to hells multigames/any other kill map"

Yeah.. the maps get repetitive. But the server votes what the server wants. I don't mind playing shooting maps here and there but I don't like it when it's all we play. I think its getting better and we are playing more courses and such and getting a more skilled player base when it comes that type of minigames. It's definetly true that people some people play the killing maps to get free VIP (proof, and a little bit more). As for the ranking system, you are gonna have to show us where we can this mod if it gets put in place, because I haven't found any of that. Lastly, the maps like mg_race_long_extended, mg_n64_goldeneye and mg_ski_mountain are still minigames technically. As far as I know css minigames is the same way. In the end these are just popular maps that people like to play and it keeps the server populated.

The most info that I found on the server is this.

 

EDIT: Found the EXACT plugin
