[HBANZ FUTSAL] HaxHost Room!

[Winky]

Hi guys,

Just a quick update on Futsal and what we have decided to do. Some of you have been asking about what happened to the Futsal server. It is currently down temporarily as I have been making some updates and tweaks on it based on the suggestions we received, but will be up as soon as these are complete. Here is what you can expect in the new version:
 

1. Most importantly - a captain system for 3v3 games. How this will work is if there are 6 players or less in the server, the bot will randomly generate 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 games depending on the number of players. If there are 7+ players, the top players in each team will become captains (unless they already have 3 players) and will be able to choose their team. As the game mode will remain "dynasty", this new team will have a chance of picking a stronger team to try to take down the winners.
   
2. For player selection, captains will be able to type the players name they wish to choose, or their ID. The name option will be "smart" so that if one makes a typo or is unable to enter specific special character(s) it should detect the closest match to what was input. This is still under testing.
   
3. Player ratings will be updated. They were a bit too detailed. Yesterday I've worked on grouping these into Attack, Defense and Skill. I've adjusted the weightings and formulas for each to hopefully give a better overall calculation. The usual penalties for own goals will still apply. As before, I would like to test this in real situations and tweak it as we go.
   
4. All games are automatically saved, but we will add the !save feature so the archives are not spammed and will try to include Kuma's sexy heatmap implementation as well if you have not yet seen that.
   
5. Updated map aesthetics to give it a sleeker look and feel, along with nicer announcements for goals, stats, etc. from the Bot.
   
6. If Futsal becomes more popular, we will implement user authentication which will allow for better all-time statistics tracking integrated with HBANZ.org
   
7. Ability to see detailed match statistics for other players (e.g. "!stats winky")
   
8. Goalkeeper detection and therefore clean sheet detection to be recorded as per point #6
   
9. Goal net physics
   
10. Increasing room size (given server limitations) to around 14 or so. Game style will remaining 2 mins, 2 goals to avoid long waiting times especially with the captain system. Happy to change this according to demand/feedback.
    
11. I have taken a short break from the Futsal bot and worked on something else - a Rambo Bot! This is currently complete (thanks to those who beta tested it) and will be hosted 24/7 starting tomorrow. For now it will replace one of the pub rooms. If this is an issue we will get a separate server to host Futsal and Rambo.
    
12. Avatar animations when scoring, own-goaling or getting MVP.
    
13. Finally, I would like to test VPS hosting on Singapore-hosted servers. If the ping is decent for Australia, it will provide much more traffic from other countries as we have seen from the Singapore servers. If this is the case, I will get another dedicated server to host 2 more rooms specifically for Futsal, one being 3v3 and possible another for 4v4. If not, we will stick to 100% Australian free-range servers. Note that separate sever will mean that the current 4 rooms will be unaffected.
    

As you can see there are lots of exciting updates to come. We still have plenty of ideas for bot-hosted servers, so if Futsal and Rambo are not your thing - there will be more to come (david).

Hey everyone,

I have put the Futsal server up last night. These are the updates that were implemented so far:

1. Captain system for when there's 7 or more players in the room (for 3v3 games). Captain will be able to select an ID to pick from or type the player's name (to a certain degree of accuracy). If a captain takes too long to select, they will receive the top player in spec.
   
   
   
   
2. Playing rating system with stats. This was revamped as mentioned before to group items (see OP for details).
   
3. Auto save is on for all games. We will work on !save function if server becomes more active.
   
4. Map background changed to hockey as some people said the dark blue one caused eye-strain..
   

Please consider the bot to still be in BETA - feel free to report any bugs or feedback to me because I'm expecting a crash or two..

Updates (15/09/2020):

• Fixed AFK bug which would sometimes freeze the room
  
• Fixed glitches on 2v2 for leaving players mid-game and rejoining
  
• Player performance made easier to achieve 5 rating
  
• Fixed "undefined" bug in stats sometimes if stat is maxed
  
• Added PM function
  
• Added spam filter
  
• Added hbanz logo on both small and large maps
  
• Increased wall "thickness" so that glitching walls with strong rockets is virtually impossible
  
• Added slightly higher bounce to all walls of both maps
  
• Added team colours (if anyone still uses these) - "shading effect" dark red/blue
