[Rejected] Mix Course and Climb together?

[Metal]

Looking at the last 30 days, It does show the server does have a small player base, that being said we might be able to get a bit more if we get the best of two worlds. In recent days I've been playing more climb and It would be nice to support our server.

Any chance of mixing the two on the server?

This is something i agree on. Considering that more than 90% ppl that like course also like kreedz it would be a good idea to mix the 2 up into one server. Both modes are ones with exceptionally low playerbases and the players that do actually play them are split on separate mode servers. If we have both we could secure some more ppl playing both on one and possibly liven the server up a bit. I'm not very knowledgeable on the technical stuff but i think this is doable if we redo the checkpoint aka save system but i'll leave that up to the tech wizes to tell us if it's possible or just a pipe dream.

I would rather not to, since we're talking about two very different movement based gamemodes, kreedz or kz is mostly based on longjumps, crouchjumps and generic strafing, while courses tend to not have that many hard jumps, but adding different kinds of challenges, such as moving platforms, lasers, dropdowns, etc, which add a bit of a randomness effect to it that kz players hate.

That being said, what I suspect that it would happen is that as soon as the map type would switch, the server goes empty with the exception of the guy that nominated it.

Well I wouldn't mind having a kz mix server, as I could hop on it from time to time. Ofc we would need more than 1 kz map.

*cough* not that course is populated, when the average player count is ~3 players, rarely hitting 4 players at the same time, so it's not really a difference.

True, still I dont think mixing the two will do any better to be honest. It feels like the course server just needs a ranking system to get people addicted.

Don't we have that already? Anyway, it also wouldn't be a problem adding kz maps and treat them like courses, since it won't really matter and we already have the necessary stuff to run it: ranking system(?), timer, server settings, checkpoints, unless you want also a LJ, HJ counters and rankings for those aswell

I can agree with that fully.

Was just wondering if something like this could be an option.

By ranking I meant a points system, not just map times.

There are plenty of free timers out there with chat ranked systems. KZ is different from course. Course is a bunch of different types of fun obstacles whereas kz is just cancer climbing. Best bet is to create a kz server. I mean it wouldn't hurt to try it but not on course. KZ requires different plugins If i'm not mistaken. It just doesn't go good with the course flow. Again best bet is to create a server dedicated to KZ. We tried mixing servers long ago but that didn't work out the way we wanted it to.
