Currently the gun/level you enter on if a map is already in progress is lowest player's gun/level. I'm looking for an option to set the starting gun to be an average of the levels (of the players) already in the game.

Ive also posted about this, and still agree with methos here.

let me know if anyone is working on this... it looks like it would require a modification of gg_handicap (to operate similar to gg4's version)... my Python skills are rudimentary, so I doubt I'd be able to do it.

I have corrected this problem and it will be available on the next release, or you may get it from the SVN

the new gg_handicap (r442) doesn't seem to work.... made sure value was at 2, but still no go... players joining in are starting at glock.

Did you make sure you restarted the server? It worked during my testing and on my live server...

restart didn't seem to fix it.. i'm still looking into it.

It is based on the average level of players not sitting in spec...

So if you have 4 players in the server, 2 are on level 1, and 1 guy is on level 2, and 1 guy is on level 3.... thats 1.75, but python rounds its ints down, so a new player joining will end up on level 1 still...

Of course, there's a way around that if you are intersted in rounding:

Expand/Contract | Select All

# Set up the levels list as in the above example
levels = [1, 1, 2, 3]

# Show the average as it is now
average = sum(levels) / len(levels)
# >>> average = 1

# Now to import the rounding function (ceiling)
# http://docs.python.org/library/math.html#math.ceil
from math import ceil

# Use float to allow decimal places
average = float(sum(levels)) / len(levels)
# >>> average = 1.75

# Finally, we tie it altogether
average = int(ceil(float(sum(levels)) / len(levels)))
#>>> average = 2

Of course, you probably know this. This is moreso of an educational posting. :geek:
