[TF2] VSH mode scoreboard is useless (need to convert damage to points)

Open 1556197 opened this issue 1 month ago • 3 comments

In VSH, there is no way to score points other than giving ubers, which makes the scoreboard effectively useless. Players often mess around doing nothing and it's difficult to tell each player's contribution. People have to use text chat to tell their damage, but it's not very convenient or trustworthy.

Since damage is the only important metric in VSH mode, please make it convert directly into points. Obviously, with the exception of Saxton Hale himself.

The top 3 MVP scoreboard at the end of each round is going to make sense as well (for the red team only).

I like this idea a lot. Just need to make sure that these points either directly correlate into matchmaking EXP gain that makes sense (so players aren't awarded a ridiculous amount of EXP), or to force these points to not contribute to EXP gain at all (like how the mode mostly currently is).

I remember that before it got added in the game, community servers had a working points system. I playtested the gamemode, and it was fun racking up points. Perhaps try those maps in your own server to see if the points still work? Might be a Casual Mode only thing.

it is indeed a Casual Mode bug, as there is no tournament mode enabled for VSH and only VSH so match player will not gain any scores, since the game has never (technically) fired/started.
