TOPIC: [PROPHUNT] Suggestions

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

An IP checker that checks if a persons IP is the same as a banned player without telling you the IP

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

Would make it a lot easier to catch someone who is ban evading, this would most probably be for people who are super admin +

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Glitching it to tell you someone's IP

Additional notes:

According to Xnator something similar to this is on TTT so it wouldn't be too hard to put onto prop hunt

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

Reducing the weekly requirement back to 2 hours.

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

It would help combat the problem of not having a lot of staff members as people would be able to play on the server and be staff even if they have work. This used to be the case before when there were a lot of staff members but increasing the minimum lowered the staff count, so maybe decreasing the requirement will make people more obliged to go for staff.

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Filthy timefarmers

Additional notes:

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

More Maps

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

Stop the gameplay from being monotone and give out some new content

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Map exploits

Warning higher ups as warning IDs ignores ranks

Additional notes:

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

Nick0GR wrote: It only happens in certain locations on certain maps, so maybe if those spawn points are moved then the Hoola dolls dont get glitched?

Kyber wrote: Well this is the problem, there aren't any specific spawn spots. The way the addon works makes it so it automatically chooses the spots so it has to do with how the map is made as well as the code and not something that can be fixed by adding or removing spawn points.

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Remove on grenade from grenade launcher

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
More chances prop survive, there is so many players throughout the day and many hunters with grenade launchers and some maps you can find bazooka and/or grenades

Potential Issues/Exploits:
Dunno

Additional notes:

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

Cap the amount of decibels a taunt can play at.

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

Stop ear rape taunts, not all taunts say if they are ear rape or not

Potential Issues/Exploits:

none

Additional notes:

Kyber wrote: It's useless, as ear rape taunts aren't against the rule or anything, if someone spams the ear rapes taunts and hurts your ears, just gag him.
And, as i am a big user of the ear rape taunt, you won't stop me to taunt Wii sports taunts :^)
fuck you

You can't play ear rape web taunts since it's loud or high pitched noise which is against the rules.
All the other rules goes for web taunts as the rule 1.96 - Web Taunts states so

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

More Maps

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

New maps for both newer and older players to enjoy while giving the server some change.

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Nothing that I could see after some basic testing of the maps. Most, if not all, of the maps have had their major exploits fixed. The only issue I can see is that some of the maps can be quite large; these will be marked with [L] for distinction.

Additional notes:

The maps I have included were not just randomly picked. After much research and questioning, they were found to be the most popular and well-liked among our server's playerbase as well as from other servers' that also followed Xnator's request of not requiring any outside game content (i.e. CSS, HL2, etc...) and having 40+ spawn points. (Original post got mistakenly edited so lost significant detail)

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

Better Sharing Check Alerts

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

(a) Allows staff to be able to perform a sharing check at their discretion
(b) Allows staff to know the steamid of a player's main account (if using an alt)

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Unlikely though can't be sure.

Additional notes:

Currently if an admin+ performs a sharingcheck on a user, an alert (e.g. "Ramen is performing a sharing check on [name]") will appear in chat that's seen by all staff present on the server. (Each statement below corresponds to a respective benefit above)

(a) I don't believe a staff-wide alert is needed whenever someone is suspected of using an alt. If someone's suspected of such, the staff member can simply perform the sharingcheck without having to then explain to any other staff present that they were simply suspicious, which the vast majority of times is found to be the case. If found that they're indeed using an alt to ban evade then the staff member can simply hand out the required punishment. How it's currently prevents me for using it the way I like to which is to perform one on every player present, which as you can imagine, results in a lot of spam in the admin chat and I really don't see how you could catch a ban evader otherwise.

(b) If a player is found to be using an alt, the sharing check will simply state whether or not they're not using it to ban evade, it could be further improved to also include the steamid of the player's main account. While this part of the suggestion may not be entirely needed, it could be useful to check whether the user has received any warnings on their main account which in turn gives more insight to staff about the player.

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):

prevent hunters body blocking each other

How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:

it hunters can "no clip" through each other trolls wont be able to body block people in one room and it will overall make it easier to get in and out of rooms when you have 2 or 3 people on the same doorway or just walking next to each other in a narrow hallway

Potential Issues/Exploits:

don't see any problems

Additional notes:

no

Prosyndicate475 wrote: By 'no-clip', I believe he meant that players on the same team (e.g. hunters) could be made to be able to simply move through one another as to reduce, if not remove, the ability for players to 'bodyblock'.

that is exactly what i mean i saw it on other servers and it was really good, regarding calling an admin to move the person, if i had to call one every time some one "spawned next to a door way or in a way that restricts movement you would need an admin to be always on the server i think its just a quality of life change that can be very much helpful

Prosyndicate475 wrote: He meant that the Hunters were nocollided so they wouldn't run into each other and i think this idea is great!
