Help me understand...

The code was put in before Pubbrawler became more active, and a 3rd private basing freq was rare. It's becoming more common now, though. I could look at changing it up a bit so that players can make freqs 0 & 1 uneven vs one another if the size of the freq you're switching to would still be roughly equal in size to the large private freq. Or to say it more simply, allow it to balance either freqs 0 and 1, or one of those two balanced against a large private freq.

Example: freq 0 has 3 players, freq 1 has 5, and a private freq has 5. Freq 0 isn't basing, but freq 1 and the private freq are. You're on freq 0 and want to switch to freq 1 to base vs the private freq. Bot allows it because it doesn't significantly unbalance the teams when you take the private freq into consideration.

Would that solve the issue?

Hey Qan, since your already contemplating changing code for TW Pub, thought I may as well chime in here.

First, can you also remove warping into base? (outside of flagroom) It is nothing but a spawnfest that is in my opinion, not fun and rather chaotic. To add to this, the code for warping players into base is flawed. We die in flagroom/base and get warped into bottom of arena, then warped again from there after a second or more passes into base! (Double warping) This does NOT happen when pub map size is increased or goes back to original warps! It only double warps when it begins warping us into base/flagroom. I think it would benefit everyone is you could remove that all together and just let people spawn where they always have and work their way to base like they always did. Even if there is 2 people playing TW Pub, it's more fun to die and work your way back up to base/flagroom than to be immediately thrown into it. There is no sense of accomplishment or adventure, or even urgency to stay alive because you knew how long it took to get back to flag with the perils faced along the way.

Secondly, there also seems to be an error in code for private frequencies that do NOT wish to be warped into flagroom when a round starts using the !warp command. You still are warped to a safe (right or left) then nothing happens. You have to fly back out to where the action is. It's second on my list because while it is really annoying, it's nothing compared to the concerns I presented prior to this.

Lastly, this is more of a complaint rather than a request, but.. I really hate the dueling arena for WB's. Jav's make sense, its square with areas to launch bombs and such. WB's have a damn circle? Why? Nowhere else in TW do WB's fight in a circle, it should be a square arena (surrounded by rocks is OK).

Thank you for your time and consideration Qan. I wish you and yours a happy rest of your week and look forward to hearing from you sometime soon! Farewell.

Qan,
So for the last few months I have logged on and tried to support Pub. But I end up leaving in frustration due to the code that is forcing 'balanced' frequencies. If I want to base, why am I being forced onto a freq which not is basing? Over and over I enter Pub, there is one basing private freq and only enough players to support one pub frequency. But tough shit, you any not allowed to join the basing fun. Pretty much has removed any motivation to play Pub.

Lol (post deleted) no idea why I posted last night... God damn alcohol.
