SRV - Opinions (Server RestartVote)

I haven't seen any issues with it on TDT. In fact, it hasn't been used at all AFAIK.

 

Slind, /srv has been used in the moments i almost perfectally predicted on the original thread, player's can't handle tps below 15, so they spam it for no good reason even though the TPS is O.K.

 

I actually agree with Chugga on this. I had made a post about making the command a staff only command. Considering that people cant for some reason coprehend tps being below perfect. I know that staff have the ability to cancel the command. But it would be helpful to change the entire command to a staff only, allowing staff online at the time to figure out what the issue is and in turn fix it.

 

on AS2 a server restart just happened which i wish didn't this is why i rejected this idea in the first place
<--- screenshots of what went down

 

Perhaps making the vote dependant on the TPS would help? Say, less than 8 TPS?

The thing is, we have periods of low staff density. No, we're never at no staff, there's always someone, but during these periods, response time to server issues is decreased. Having something like this really fills in that gap.

 

if you make /srv do that that'd be great, and when checking tps make sure it uses the /tps command instead of /cofh tps (helps more than you think, /cofh tps apparently skips the last few ticks when giving the full profile)

 

that could work, as the more dedicated members have in general a better idea of this type of stuff

 

Thats not always true. But I guess we can always try

 

"in general" are key words

 

I would just like to add as much as chugga is claiming his screenshots as proof the command needs removing/changing, it did help the tps and for a decent amount of time, it is still higher now than it was before the restart. I am all for the command not being spammed and also for a member of staff trying to resolve the issues if they are around, however when they are not around the command is very helpful.

 

except i also had said that i had called a staff member to come and help, if you had read this in chat you should have known immediately not to have done it, which is the entirety of the reason i was annoyed at you for starting the vote, if you had noticed this and been polite enough for the staff to figure the problem, which, again is the entirety of the staff's complaints above your posts, if you understood this, maybe i'd be sympathetic, but otherwise, i won't be

 

Chugga there has still not been a staff member available to look at it, it had also been between 5-10 minutes from when ya had first said that and it was quicker to do a restart. I'm not going to argue about it as I don't see a reason to, it is a good option to have while staff members are not available, evidently fourteen people online agreed on that for the vote.

Don't know but on DW20 servers we had pretty much a 70% success.
For example what I do is when the tps is low aks in global: ok lets to a server vote TPS is low and it would be great if we do the restart.
The problem I saw was people not getting the notification or just not seeing it as it blends in with the chat.

 

I like the idea of having a minimum before a vote is allowed. This weekend I tried to stop several as our tps was 16. I was personally thrilled with 16 tps on a weekend!

 

I think the problem is that while the command is really useful for people who know what they are doing, as chugga says people who don't know what they are doing are using it when it isn't necessary..

Rather than having any player able to start a vote, or even having it be any player with enough ontime etc, i think players who want that ability should have to ask for it from a staff member in-game (give all staff a simple command like /setsrv [name] that would give the named player the srv permission) that way only players who can convince a staff member that they will use it responsibly would be able to use it when staff aren't there to use it themselves.

 

Then we get in the position of having to police who has it. I think adding a minimum up time on the server, vote cooldown, (if possible) TPS check, and also some educational feedback to the command. For example when you run it the first time, it gives you some information like "Only to be used when TPS is below 8, the vote will be locked out for next XX minutes, etc" then give them a code which they have to run command with again to actually activate the vote.
