PSA: Activating Survival mode Scoring system

BYOC PSA

Who is this PSA for?

For server hosts. This doesn't apply to clients with no access to server host settings.

Does the game server need to be survival for this to work?

Yes. It must be set to Survival and not Cooperative.  

Console command to activate it? 

The command is called sv_scoring 1.  

On TSPG, you can set it up by adding the line into Additional Parameters.

Scoring system?

Activating the score system allows your teammates to revive or gain extra lives when enough damage has been dealt.

There's 2 other server variables you can change.

sv_extralifescore determines how much score you need to get an extra life. Every 210k damage by default. 

sv_revivescore determines how much score you need for dead spectators to respawn. Every 50k damage by default

The default values were sweet spots that helped keep people playing while the map still continues to be challenging.

Vs Not Survival

We've noticed Not survival (tm) is a rather popular mod to alongside BYOC. There's some differences when activating this compared to Not Survival.

• BYOC scoring system runs in Survival mode
• Not Survival runs on Cooperative mode
• BYOC doesn't force you into spectating, rejoining and reselecting a class every death unlike Not survival.
• Not survival allows people to join a server while a map is still goin, unlike BYOC's scoring system (when slots are open)
• BYOC has every dead spectator respawn when a revive score is achieved, unlike Not survival single slots

BYOC works fine with Not survival, but we use the scoring system in house and highly recommend it to others when hosting online games!
