Help with Team Scoreboard

Ok, what are the issues here? I can fix them in a plugin if I know what to look for.

If a person dies with the world, it comes off their score, but the team score doesn't change. Is that a bug?
A person disconnects is that supposed to change the score?

What should a team score look like? If it is just a sum of the kills ever made, that will be easy.

And what if FF is off? Should a team score go down because you capped your partner?

I think considering the random crashing.....that would be a bad idea =\
Yes for the second thing.
Whats this all bout anywyas, specifically.

I've been asked to do a plugin for one league. It has the impulse cheat kicker and score resume.

But I've heard complaints about how the teamplay scoreboard is buggy. Since I don't play matches, I have no idea what the issues are. If I understood what the team portion of the scoreboard was supposed to keep track of ( i.e. kills only ) then I can add that into the plugin so the final screenshot will be accurate of the total team kills for that match ... no going back through the log and counting the frags.

Asit stands now:
leagues i have played in count up the kills only for each player on the team so yes if FF=on killing a team mate should deduct 1 point from team score.

Ok, I think I'll add a cvar that will allow you to turn off / on the team killing penalty based on the league rules.

What about suicides? I noticed those don't come off the team score either.

The main thing I have noticed is that the scoreboard does not always do the math right when displaying the total team score at the top, sometimes its off by 1 point.

If you take fall damage or are killed by an orb from your own team or have a physics suicide it does not count against your team. When FF 1 is on team kills do not count against your team.

Teamkills should always deduct 1 point from scoreboard otherwise there is no point in playing FF=on
Suicides no matter how they are made should deduct 1 point otherwise you are plus one everytime you jihad instead of breaking even.

As I understand it now, these are the problems:

1. If a person suicides with a weapon, prop, or other entity it removes one from the team score.
2. If a person suicides by falling ( worldspawn death ) then it does not remove one from the team score.
3. If a person kills a teammate, then the player's score goes down and their team scores go up by one.

And these would be the solution:

1. If a person suicides then their score and the team score should go down by one.
2. If a person suicides then their score and the team score should go down by one.
3. If a person kills a teammate, then give the choice whether the team score should go down by one or remain unchanged. But definitely don't go +1.

wow nice keeper.
Hope you end up pulling this plugin together

Actually done and tested. I plan on posting it today

just add the scores ups yourself not too hard.

Yes it can be, if a player drops (for whatever reason) and doesn't come back (e.g. Internet connection went bad). If there's no screenshot or demo available you have to go to server logs then...

or just make sure you beat the other team by 50 kills so everyone knows who the clear cut winner is hehe.
