HH2 now has a random crit nerf vote. Consider this a trial.

Some of you may have noticed the nerf over the last couple of days whilst I was testing. For those that haven't, when random crit nerfing is enabled only, Medics get random crits as normal, but for all other classes random crits do non-crit damage.

The vote works the same as alltalk vote on HH2 and saves your preference, if you want to change your stored preference, then type !nerf.

Please give any feedback and report any issues.

It's working really good, although I would suggest to announce somewhere in the chat whether crits are on or off and announce again when it changes.
If this is already the case I may just need glasses.

You've probably missed seeing the announcements which appear in chat at the start of the map, and also to anyone that joins after that.

Hopefully this plugin gives the best of both worlds, with regards to Quickplay traffic, by always having at least some random crits enabled, which makes the server eligible for the traffic.

The only complaint I have is that you can still hear the sound effects.I don't know if you can do anything about it though. Otherwise it works really well.

ye i saw it afterwards but it's quite easy to miss with all the stuff going on in chat, sadly. Otherwise the plugin is really great so far imo.

Its a great compromise, thanks man.

From the times I have been on the server it doesnt seem to be on and if you look at the number of votes for on or off as they appear in chat i get the impression that if a player who is new to the server, and hasnt voted either on or off, that their vote is set to crit nerf off by default.

So if there are 24 players on the server, 8 have voted crit nerfs off, 10 have voted crit nerfs on, and the remaining 6 havent yet voted then the ones that havent voted have their default vote set to crit nerfs off, so the overall majority vote is 14= off and 10 = on, therefore crit nerfs are kept off. Is this the case or am I imagining it?

If so it might be better to not include people that have not yet voted either option, so it would only count the numbers of players that have voted either on or off?

Preference is stored as Yes, No or Undefined.
Only the counts for Yes or No are compared.

FYI, in the map log for HH2, maps where random crits were nerfed are displayed in italics.

ah ok that's cool then
