A bit of a wall of text, but I think chillout is in need of maintenance. It also seems like more admins need access to the FTP to make these changes since currently its only w33d/light/kapu (all not too active, but thx light for adding all the missing maps last week).
- Remove same team player collisions.
- Possibility to remove rocket/sticky particle explosions.
- Map voting needs a lot of work. Having additional info such as which class each map is for, the difficulty of the map, then possibly more info like the number of times the map has been played. People still constantly just vote '4' to get rid of the thing with no thought into the next map they want to play.
- Spend time to remove pointless plugins. There are loads of random messages that show on the server, and also plenty of obsolete plugins around.
- Improve/fix some of the admin commands. As far as i know banning players has been removed, and some times the short durations bans are required. Also fixing the gag plugin so people cant spam the chat, and maybe having it possible to gag for a certain time. One other thing is sound banning, i think the only way to soundban someone is to use the command, but i've no idea what it is.
- Maybe remove really old, or really shit maps from the server rotation (but still have it possible to !nominate them if people really want to play it. Since people just vote thoughtlessly, the server ends up on really old/shit maps and everyone leaves until the map changes again.
- Other possible things that could be changed is about the large amount of custom content you have to download. Me personally, i love it, but many people hate downloading it (even though they can just turn off custom content downloading). It might be worth removing more of the saysound, music, and models and having them as manual downloads like some of the old music on the server. Another strange thing is having to download the same map_particles.txt for every single map on the server. Idk what its for but it seems really pointless and is just more files you have to download.
Would be great to see any of this being done, also interesting to hear what other people would like to see change on it.
Edit: I've no idea what the state of the speedrun plugin is, would be good to hear about how its working (or not) on chillout currently, and how many maps are needing it setup...
