This topic is pointless. People already explained to you why things are the way they are. Theres one thing you can do about it: accept. And stop speaking in the name of the whole teeworlds-playing community. You are one person and the fact that something pleases you doesnt mean that it would please others. If you want to know my opinion - i'm happy with the way the filter works, and I dont agree that the minority plays vanilla and the majority plays mods. Stop explaing over and over again why it would be good to have the filter your way, no one actually cares.

Like a hammer ?

Well I see this on a daily basis. When the voting got introduced people immediately began to 'abuse' it by voting to kick less skilled players when they couldnt join. I've seen many good players do this, and sometimes I did it too. It has happened to me that I have been votekicked out of a server because when I joined I was automatically put in a team, and disrupted some peoples training. If i was to be put in spectators first I would even try to join seeing they have some training going on. Plus some of the better players think something along the lines they have more right to play the game since they play longer and better than new players. This is very flawed but what can you do after all. Some possible steps are making sv_tournament_mode default and making/transferring some servers dedicated to beginners.

I have some input on how to make this mod more competitive. Ill try to be short and up to the point. The key concept of my ideas is that a single shot would not kill you. I know this would not be real instagib, but then call it something else. If you still read this here are my ideas

1 u spawn with a laser with 2/3 ammo ( normal spawn, no delay )
2 if u want moar ammo go pick it up ( in places of normal weapons ( or once u pick a weapon u have infinite ammo ) )
3 if u want to live longer pick those shiny gray credit cards ( i mean armor )
4 the rifle does 5 damage which means u can kill a newly spawned player in 2 shots and a fat-ass-armored one in 4 shots ( however there would be only armor pickups, and the rifle would do 2 hearth damage and rest armor/health. This means theres no way to live more than 5 shots even if u pick full armor after each hit )
5 consider putting back the laser jumps

The numbers are only speculations if you would choose to implement something like that u may need to balance test it. This is how i see my ( theoretical )modifications:
1 and 3 solve the too easy flag defense
2 and 5 make u move to places u was never in in instagib, which makes the gameplay less linear, more unexpected situations, whatever.
4 solves the monotonous gameplay ( go, respawn, go, ...)

Btw I mostly agree with the non-instagib players who expressed their opinions there even if I havent seen MTC or played insta for long time. I played several times, seen some good players, and from my point of view playing instagib is like listening to a cool song on your mp3 player ... over and over again 24/7

Edit: omg it works

The problem is that someone needs to decide what gives u a significant advantage. Therefore I agree with chi11y. Let me explain: you said that adding a minor graphical improvement that reminds you of something is ok. Now if I was to extend my client with the functionality of counting the respawn time for weapons, armor, flags, katana - simply All pickups, so that the client would remind me if theres any armor / health to pick up near me, this would give me a great advantage. You already have this information from the game, since you know that if you pick up a weapon, it will reappear half a minute later, but its hard for a player to watch the timer, keeping in mind the order and time he picked up stuff, and play at the same time.

On a side note, I play with the armor, health and ammo meter sprites lowered by 2 pixels, so they are smaller. I dont consider myself a cheater, and I would be happy if I could legitimately change such behaviour.

Dont be an ass. If u would have opened the link u would know. The title is self-explanatory too. No need to be unfriendly ...

Maybe check that link that is put into the banner on the forums. At the top of the page above the topic title.

Provide operating system, architecture, crash-logs ? Checked for bad memory ?

The hammer is the only melee weapon, why transfor it into a ranged one ?

My tips:
support only vanilla maps/gamemodes ( like it is now ) - easiear, cleaner, simply better
when the server side demo recording gets bug-free ( hope soon enough ), make recorded demos avaliable to the person who requested the server ( keep them for a hour or two after the server expires ). Add scorelimit/timelimit/powerups/scpectator_slots selection to the servers tab maybe.

The real problem here is that people get upset if they get chatkilled. If I stop to chat, I am aware that I am risking my life while i am chatting, simple as that. I see no problem here at all. If u want to chat, just do it ... but then again, dont start crying that u got chatkilled.
