Vexta has a NEW public server!

"Vexta High Skill Only Public Server"
14 Man (7vs7)
78.129.232.62:27021

After having to play on 18-24man servers on top of canceled pcw's we decided to created this in an attempt to help players get a competitive friendly fire gameplay experience whilst remaining in the pick up and play public environment.

No Rookies or Low Skill Players, there are plenty of servers for rookie-low skill players to play on (looking for lots of admins to help enforce this *see below*)

Deathmatch mode is enabled until 5 vs 5 is reached to help keep the server alive after rounds and to give players something to practice pre-game.

Only Shine Admin/NSL MODS are used:

NSL maps (Replacing all standard versions)
NSL Jambi
Custom HUD
Cross-spawns for non NSL Maps
Shine Administration
Pre-Game Plus (shine)

* As said above looking for people to keep the server high skill and give access to:

"sh_kick", "sh_say", "sh_rr", "sh_setteam", "sh_enablerandom", "sh_reset"

Steam message you're NS2ID's to us!
Commands are all logged, troll around and admin rights will be removed!

As there are a shed ton of rookie/low skill servers. Of which I get vote kicked from by the noobs for *cheating* after they have called my mum a slag and wished I die of cancer, I don't see why there shouldn't be a handful of high skill servers that block rookies.

Can anyone create a plugin utilising the skill/rank system the game has now built in, maybe the plugin could check the players skill/rank and auto disconnect anyone who is below a specified minimum number?

There's a plugin shipped with the Shine version of NS2Stats that works!

So the server now runs NS2Stats, it will not let players join a team who have less than any of the following: A 1600 ELO, 0.4 K:D ratio, 100 hours play time, 10 hours on NS2Stats servers!

If you think you should qualify the skill level to play on the server but it wont let you join a team, please contact me via steam!

Hum I see now why some people are kicked on this server. I think it's a good idea but the Hive stats are not great, & this system is a little broken. But indeed, most of the time, the skill is here on the server.

Top commanders on NS2Stats have around a 2000 ELO whereas players have a 3000 (http://ns2stats.com/ranking/index). You get a differnt ELO rank for each alien/marine/alien com/marines com, what the plugin does is take the average so commanders *should* be ok as they are usually pretty good players also. I agree though NS2stats isn't brilliant. Little known fact: Try typing ?alltime=true at the end of the address line when viewing a player profile on NS2stats (e.g http://ns2stats.com/player/player/34329?alltime=true)

BTW The plugin was kicking people yesterday who had private profiles because it was not able to get there steam stats and was returning there hours played as zero :D Thats been fixed now.

Ah, that's maybe the reason ^^

This sever can now be used during the week for aim training as it runs the improved skulk bots mod.
Good for those who don't have enough power to run bots local.

Vexta High-Skill UK (Practice Mode) server. Password is "training". Join marines for aim practice, don't change/research anything please. Use console commands "pres 100" to get res and "respawn_team 2" if bots are low or get stuck

Will be back to public server at weekends to save comp players from the rooks!
