Topic: Teeworlds Match-Making
Hello, Teeworld's community,
my previous ideas have been around for some time but are usually difficult to implement if not backed by a complete team.
It is a very simple form of the Match-Making System. Some of my attempts failed after the time because the motivation of the developers was lost.
Teeworlds offers a lot of great modifications, but these are mostly not designed for direct skill/team gameplay where you would really get into it. There are tournaments from time to time from the community but unfortunately nothing long.
Now i have sat down with some community developers and presented my idea, this has aroused interest and is feasible from the implementation. There was only one objection of the respondents, is it worth it at all with the current number of players?
A Match-Making system puts out many players so that you don't have longer waiting times, with currently an average of 300 players +/- where most of them come from the DDraceNetwork (DDNet).
Now we come to the implementation, there is a single server, if you are connected to this 2 options to choose from, the login and the registration.
As soon as you are logged in or registered you come to the lobby map, where all players who are currently in no match collect. They can then use the Vote menu to find information, statistics and find a game.
Let's take CTF as an example, the player first chooses in which league he wants to play (1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 4 vs 4, 5 vs 5, 6 vs 6, 7 vs 7, 8 vs 8). Once you have selected a league, opponents in the same rank class or a team with an average rank class are thrown together.
If all players are ready, a team leader or captain will be determined, always the one with the highest rank in the team. We assume that there are currently only 5 Maps this can be the two respective Team Leader or Captain voting this looks like then:
Team A Map Ban > / Team B Map Ban > / Team A Map Ban > / Team B Map Ban > / = Map Pick
When the Map Pick is complete, a countdown will appear and all players will be drawn to the Matched Map.
This is part of my idea, the implementation is not the problem now i'm curious about your opinion and criticisms.
I would now like to know if you would play such a game mode and recommend it to others.
best regards MuLTIII
