New mod needed.

[1* Secret]

Lately, it's become very common to log onto the server and everyone is sitting in a corner with a knife or some other safe space knifing zombies. Round after round. There are people who just found the server a few months ago that have out leveled me in most every class and I've been playing on here for years. Maybe set a mod that kills you if you don't move after so many seconds.

Alternately, is it possible to sell all the level points in classes I don't use and put those points into another class?

I'll address your questions/concerns in reverse.

There is no way to subtract experience from one class and add that experience to another class - it's not part of the game. That said, I can manually edit the database and make the change(s). However, I won't. If I do this for you, I have do it for everybody. It opens a can of worms I do not want to open or deal with.

If, for example, your class lost experience because the server crashed, or because of some fault of Duskgamers, I will edit the database to restore your class' experience. That's something I'll do for anyone.

Regarding killing idle (or knife-camping) players after X seconds, that's definitely something I can do. However, it's not a solution. A player can simply move just enough to defeat the timer/condition. On the other hand, players who are AFK or camping for legit reasons will be killed - which is a problem. Then there is the Ninja class which can only use a knife to level up.

I have considered randomly exploding zombies. This option too has its problems, but I'll think about it. The one common complaint I receive from players is that it takes too long to level up. If I introduce exploding zombies in the server, it will be even harder for players to level up.

As for knifing zombies in a corner, that is totally legal (assuming the zombies can reach the corner). It's a strategy some players use to level up quicker. There are other strategies. Part of the game is to learn what those strategies are, and use them to your advantage.

I don't know what you mean by "safe space". If you mean "illegal camping", which is against the server rules, please record a demo of the player(s) illegally camping and post it here. I'll ban the offender(s). Alternatively, you can join our Discord server, and message me or Tom.

I know you're a regular on the RPG server and you have played here for many years. You're a good player. You're a good guy. Unfortunately, time spent playing on the server is not the only thing that determines how quickly you level up. How you play the game, what strategy you use, and getting other players to help you can make a big difference to how quickly you level up.

Have you tried knifing zombies in a corner? Have you asked other players to help you?

o yeah the only type of camping we really "allow" is the "Corner Camp" (as long as zeds will get up to the player in the corner and touch them), mainly cuz if other players join that dont want to use the NoBlock corner glitch to farm some xp, then the zeds will start running away from the person(s) camping in the corner causing them to die

so when the zeds start running after the other joining players, the corner camping players will have to move away or the zeds will slow down to the point it gets them killed, so basically it kind of regulates itself in a way so we dont really consider that "Illegal Camping" (yes we have a few maps tho im sure thats a problem where its hard for the joining players to get close enough to the T spawn to lure the zeds out, but those are small cases and we cant fix everything lol, or we could change it so the corner glitch is illegal camping too, but i know a lot of players like to use it for some late night farming when nobody is playing so we would like to allow it)

of course if there are players High Ground Camping (sitting in a place the zeds wont even reach them), thats against the rules for effectively ruining the original / intended experience, if someone is camping you can always shoot a msg to an admin, or record a demo / take a few screenshots and post a ban report as Hades mentioned (depending on what the offense is, and dont forget to check for their Steam ID we use to identify them by opening the Console with the `~ key and type STATUS to see their ID), then an admin will check it within 24 hours generally (or msg an admin and send the shots to them to post, 3-5 or more screenshots are fine cuz its easy to tell they are high ground camping for more than a few seconds, otherwise a demo recording is required)
