GOW Justice | Available for Download | (PS3)(PC)

 

Judge Pacer has delivered an abrupt verdict. He's given us all what the people want and have asked for since the release of UT3. Leave your comments, praise or suggestions to Mr. PacerX.

 

GOW Justice attempts to balance teams based on each player's score in the previous match. Balancing occurs at the end of each match, just before transitioning to the next map. Players are ranked by the number of points they score per second in the previous match or, optionally, players are ranked by their Elo rating.

With two players on the server, Justice will swap teams at the end of the match so you can be on Blue next time if you think that's what made you lose. With three or more players it gets interesting. Teams are assigned as follows:

 

3 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3  
4 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3 #4
5 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3 #4
#5  
6 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3 #4
#5 #6
7 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3 #4
#5 #6
#7  
8 Players
Red Blue
#2 #1
#3 #4
#5 #6
#7 #8

... and so on

Justice now has the option to rank players based on their Elo rating. To enable this option, set the UsePlayerRanking variable to true in UTGOWJustice.ini:

[GOWJustice.JusticeVoteCollector] UsePlayerRanking = true RankHumansOverBots = false
 

The RankHumansOverBots variable is used when ranking players based on score. Setting it to true forces all humans to be ranked above all bots, even if they score worse than the bots

 

Server admins do not need to run justice as a mutator. All you need to do is set the VoteCollectorClassName in the [UTGame.UTGame] section of UTGame.ini as follows:

VoteCollectorClassName=GOWJustice.JusticeVoteCollector
 

That way you can maintain the "purity" of your server and your stats.

 

I welcome your feedback. Look for it on the GOW servers, give it a try, and post your comments here. Thanks!

Since the goal of the pure

Since the goal of the pure server was to expose new people to GOW. How about having the 2nd server run mods but only use stock maps for a little while. That way, you can expose players to the cool ass mods without asking them to also grab new maps. If they dig the mods, they'll go and get the maps.

still no justice

I've been messing with Justice on and off all day today and I have discovered that my first attempt was woefully broken. I've figured out a few things today but I still have a few problems to solve. Luckily, I figured out how to test it by myself by hosting a LAN game and several clients all on one machine.

working good

Worked great, except I would sometimes think I was on the other teams side cause I forget what team color I was on for the start of the match.  Only happened once though.  Runs good, looks like a keeper.

Justice for all!

I packaged up the PC version for GOW Justice. See the original post for the download link.

I also updated the PS3 version... just code tweaks. PS3 servers should install the latest version.

Judge Pacer residing

you should send EPIC the bill

*I was gonna double post but i guess i'll be nice and edit

To bad the Midway servers won't run any mods... I think alot of people would love this mod. Trying to balance out the teams is a very hard thing... especially when you've got a bunch of nOObs trying to swtich teams just because they see somwone with a high score or clan tag.

hey were's my GOW_Arachnophobia?!? jk!! (actually STING might be a cooler name. you a fan of the Hobbit?)  but seriously... I would love you forever if you made that!!!! (in the non-gay-way of course ;-p lol)

nice pacer!!

Great to see you got your mod working and i'm liking that your releasing both the PC and PS3 version to your mod's now. It will give people that download your mod's a chance to see what it takes to make them and hopefully they can learn from them!!

No Justice?

Sike. Hell no, we all didn't expect Justice but have always wanted it.  There were some lame attempts on the PC but none came to fruition to my knowledge.... Since the initial release of GOW Justice by Judge PacerX he has since released a newer version to the Admins.

His 2nd release dramatically improved the server's (mod's) stability. We are all looking forward to new releases of Justice and whatever else Pacer's got brewing! Please leave any comments or suggestions in this thread. We are all open to new ideas and experiences you may have had.

Dakilla: Amen to that! Epic won't even hire a teenager to sit and watch the PS3 Servers on the weekend let alone release some remote administration tools or SDK for PS3 Admins (only to the direct benefit of their own uses - Midway Servers). So we all know the likelihood of them even running stock mods on their servers.... or community generated mods (of mass acceptance) nonetheless. Let's start a petition to hire someone (I don't care if it's a teenager, someone getting overtime or if they fire a Director, a VP etc... until something changes) and we can include the GLARING 3 Dedicated Server Bugs (1 of which was largely alleviated w/ the 1st patch) so they can be reminded that the 1 sub-standard aspect of their product DOES effect the community. OK, rant over. My fingers are crossed.... but I'm not holding my breath.

Thus, Largo Vida PacerX (SuperMan Cape anyone? Perhaps steal the objects/physics from Shogun and shrink it?)

Cheers,

Re: GOW Justice | Available for Download | (PS3)(PC)

I updated Justice today with a fix for our server's game-type voting problems. Now it will disable seamless travel between maps when you switch game types. This fixes the problem that your HUD does not appear when you switch game types. You no longer need to disconnect and reconnect to get your HUD back.

Re: GOW Justice | Available for Download | (PS3)(PC)

I updated Justice today by adding the option to balance teams based on player ranking (Elo rating) rather than score.

To use this option, set the UsePlayerRanking variable to true in UTGOWJustice.ini:


[GOWJustice.JusticeVoteCollector]
UsePlayerRanking = true
RankHumansOverBots = false

I also just figured out that you do not need to run justice as a mutator on your server. All you need to do is set the VoteCollectorClassName in UTGame.ini.

VoteCollectorClassName=GOWJustice.JusticeVoteCollector

Only server admins should do this... Cleatus.

Re: GOW Justice | Available for Download | (PS3)(PC)

Hey Pacer,

I have a question:  Is this mod usable on PS3 dedicated servers?  and if it is, what is necessary to get it working correctly?  Thanks a bunch
