Being able to take a step back and not shout 'IT WASN'T RDM, THEY HAD DNA' in frustration is a must. Not to be rude, but it can be quite frustrating to deal with some of the players and occasionally, you may feel as if your server is an after-school club (although some younger players I've met on this game are lovely). If they weren't, Pointshops wouldn't be so popular. I once saw a server that had 'admin's word is final, we are above the rules as we actually wrote them' which made me laugh until I realized it was serious.ġ. It's incredibly hypocritical to regularly slay other people for making mistakes, but not yourself when you mess up. Admins, owners and anyone in power should be treated as any other player and be slain for RDM. I also find it funny how a lot of pay2admin communities have sub forums dedicated to reporting admin abuse.ĥ. I know this is supposed to be tips, as opposed to me telling you what to do, but please don't do this, it just makes any server look so unprofessional, laughable and desperate. Don't have a system where people can pay for admin powers. Never underestimate how quickly a TTT server can go to ♥♥♥♥ the moment an admin leaves.Ĥ. Even if they're just sitting in spec and occasionally tabbing in. Try and always have at least one admin on. Nothing really to add here, but I guarantee you won't see half of the people who ask again.ģ. Don't give admin to people who ask for it the first time they're ever on the server.

Examples include Zed Time, Jihad, Melon Launcher, etc etc. A lot of servers owners will also be looking for quick custom stuff to slap on their server, so your server will not be unique at all if it's simply made up of various public files.
HOW TO HOST A TTT SERVER CODE
This is why learning to code your own things or having the money to hire those who can is important. Public custom TTT items will be found on almost every other server. It's great that everyone can have their own unique rank, but doesn't it clog the scoreboard up a bit? Just because something is public doesn't mean you have to add it.Ĥ. It can still be picked up and used if you already have something in slot 3 and I feel disappointment whenever I see a server with it.ģ. For example, there's a weapon pack with a silent TMP thing that's found on the floor and goes in slot 3. Not only will this allow you to make things specifically to your liking, you'll also be getting used to working with lua files. If you're adding in custom things you've found on google, go through the files and tweak things to your preference. Actually go through the files before adding things.
