Racerboy:
Yeah I think I'm set on having the points reset.

Seriously this is fun stuff besides the pepperbox issue and teams not being balanced properly. I'll just get 100 points myself.

I'll take a look at the spreadsheet tonight and see how I can balance the pepperbox better. 45 point sound good for it?

Also for the teams not being balanced, what can I do about that? :/

ThinkInvisible:
-Buff/unlock turrets or free guns for the team with less points (via best unlocked weapon value since they're obviously going to use their best weapons). Balance whenever someone joins/leaves a team. Example: Player with ALLLL the guns joins Red. Red's best weapons are now a total of 400 points value above Blue's best weapons. Blue unlocks a Tank Turret embedded in a wall or something.

-Auto-sort based on this and make everyone hate you.

Aide33:
When is the server going up?

ThinkInvisible:
Okay that was kind of confusing. Better longer explanation go.

So there's a bunch of players. There's a difference in their points...
Red Team: Best Weapon Per-Player Point Values
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Name |Primary|Secondary|Explosive|Melee|
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Blockhead1 |100 |40 |50 |50 |
|lolpwnguy |0 |0 |0 |0 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
Red Team has a 240 (100 + 40 + (50*2)) point rating.

Blue Team: Best Weapon Per-Player Point Values
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Name |Primary|Secondary|Explosive|Melee|
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Blockhead2 |100 |15 |0 |0 |
|lolpwnguy |0 |50 |0 |0 | huge multiclienter, bluh bluh
|IAmYourSandwich|0 |40 |50 |50 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
Blue Team has a 305 (100 + 15 + (50 * 3) + 40) point rating.

Blue Team has the leading point rating by 65 (305 - 240).

65 is not a very big difference.

BUT. Racerboy joins. He has ALLLL the guns.
New player. Recalculating.

Red Team: Best Weapon Per-Player Point Values
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Name |Primary|Secondary|Explosive|Melee|
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Blockhead1 |100 |40 |50 |50 |
|lolpwnguy |0 |0 |0 |0 |
|Racerboy |500 |50 |250 |50 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
Red Team now has a 1090 (240 + 500 + (50 * 2) + 250) point rating.

Red Team now has the leading point rating by a staggering 785 (1090 - 305)! This isn't right!

Give Blue Team a shiny new Tank Turret or two in their base.

I like this system...but about the tank turrets, what about shuffling the teams around? If the teams become unbalanced, it takes the player that has the most points on the OP team and puts him on the horrid team until the teams become somewhat balanced (the balance difference, aka if blue has 300 and red has 240, the difference is 60, the bigger this number gets, the more it balances; this number would be key because it would tell the script exactly when to start balancing, aka, when the teams become too unbalanced)

It's quite possible. I have a list somewhere of all the variables of the weapons (who bought which weapons, it's a saved variable assigned to each player who buys the weapon. This list is saved in my config files and updates everytime a player buys a weapon). This could come in handy when making the script.

Who could do it? It would have to cooperate with Slayer and the variables.
