Even teams lobby feature

As I have already told several people this was only applied to the team lobby because a few players were tired of just getting a crappy balance, for example 1 + 2 and some lower rated players balancer makes with not even teams 1 + 1 vs 1 which just makes absolutely no sense

quote: someone said , i dont remember who: who cares about having 2 coms

For the beginners of Zero-K when there are uneven teams (2vs3 / 13vs12 / 15vs16) always the player with the highest ELO number gets a 2 commander and accordingly double starting resources, the main problem is mostly the balance, which is already mostly very selected by clans.

In my opinion, that (feature) makes sense in any case for small teams, for larger with Clanbalance also, and if more than 10vs10 are there it is usually weekends so that the waiting list is activated anyway due to a maximum of 32 players.

We were complaining about this situation for a long time, it's nice to see a solution being developped. Many thanks :)

Implement this for every team format but turn it on its head for 5v6 and above: when teams are uneven - waitlist the highest whr player in the lobby. Newcomers or otherwise not in the know get to play and aren't getting bothered, and I think the majority of high whr would agree that it is by far the better option for both them and everyone else.

Could be a toggle per player, then again, the entire team is getting burdened with 2x, so maybe it shouldn't be any single ones call to essentially force your side into this.

I think the highest rated player can opt-in to the waiting list by quickly spectating then playing, putting them at the bottom of the list. This is the intention at least. I forget whether the implementation ended up sorting people by how long they have been in a player slot, or how long they have been in the room at all.

The present solution also fixes the double-com problem. It just doesn't put the consequences 100% of the time on the highest rated player in the room.

quote: If the problem is not with the presented option, and other ways to get around it sound ridiculous, why not raise threshold & push the current "latest joining waits until even" for every format? I just don't get why not make something like this available for every team size.

I set !maxevenplayers to 32 in the all welcome room a few days ago to fix an immediate problem, and decided to see what would happen if we left it there. People complained. We set it to 16 a day or two later. People complained. We set it to 10. So far people haven't complained a lot about 10.

this evener should only be applied to max 3v3... or like add server command to turn it off in a vote
