I've made a dedicated Halo server, and I'm trying to make it as good as possible. I could use some tips as to what my teamkilling limit should be and what my cooldown period should be, etc etc. Here's my init file

sv_maxplayers 16
sv_name "cApNhOwDy's Dedicated"
sv_public 1
sv_mapcycle_timeout 5
sv_mapcycle_add Hangemhigh "Classic Slayer Pro"
sv_mapcycle_add Carousel "Classic Slayer Pro"
sv_mapcycle_add Chillout "Classic Slayer Pro"
sv_mapcycle_add Timberland "Classic Team Slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add Dangercanyon "Classic Team Slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add Hangemhigh "Classic Team Slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add Sidewinder "Classic Team Slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add IceFields "Classic Team Slayer"
sv_rcon_password "Ifyoutrythispasswordyouarean00b"
sv_tk_ban 5
sv_tk_cooldown 5m
sv_tk_grace 3s
sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 1d
sv_mapcycle_begin

I'm open to suggestions. I'd like to know if there's a way to boot people automatically after they've been AFK for 5 minutes. I'd also like to know if there's a way to boot people automatically who have ping that's >700 or something like that. Would there also be a way to cause a transparent screen to temporarily come up for about 5 seconds when someone joins my server that says something along the lines of "Welcome to cApN's Dedicated server, Ventrilo IP address is xx.xxxx.xxxx."? Also, I have a friend who's playing on a Mac (lol), will he be able to see my server or will I need to do something else in order for him to see it?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

None of those features are available. The HIV clan has a "server app" that gives them extra features, but they aren't willing to share. Besides that, your config looks good. Should work fine.

Hey, nothing beats a good, old-fashioned 8 vs. 8 CTF on Blood Gulch, can it? The mapcycle only deals with Slayer gametypes, yes, but why not just have one CTF match to break the ice once in a while? ;)

I'll try it sometime I guess.

Does it really matter if the map names are in lower case?


And noooooooooo, no Blood Gultch, not now, not ever, except maybe if I make a seperate Race server. Blood Gultch is THE most overplayed map ever.

+1.
It's good, but overplayed.

No, but it's easier to type.

Alright, what about my ban/kick settings regarding teamkilling? Too strict? Too lenient? I really dont know what all of those values mean. I assume that sv_tk_ban 5 means that if you teamkill 5 people, you get kicked. tk_cooldown probably means that after you kill someone, after 5 minutes, that kill doesnt count towards your tk_ban killcount anymore. I guess that tk_grace means that, like, if you accidentally chunked a grenade into a group of your own teammates and it killed all over them, that it'd count as only 1 towardsthe tk_ban killcount. tk_penalty is probably the time that they spend banned from the server.
