[ctf_stats:good_weapons] list requires immediate attention

[ClobberXD]

// (from ctf_stats mod - init.lua)

local good_weapons = { "default:sword_stone", "default:sword_steel", "shooter:grenade", "shooter:shotgun", "shooter:rifle", "shooter:machine_gun", }

---

The ctf_stats:good_weapons list is used to calculate the points for a kill, where the points are halved if the enemy does not have "good weapons" at the time of death. But the list does not seem to include bronze, mese and diamond implements, meaning that even if a player manages to kill a pro carrying a mese sword, their kill score is halved.

Also, the stone sword is considered a 'good weapon' only at the hands of a couple of lethal pros, and is generally not a good weapon IMO. Then what about steel pick-axes? They're way better than stone swords...

Here's what can be added to the list:

• Bronze Sword / Pickaxe / Axe / Shovel
• Mese Sword / Pickaxe / Axe / Shovel
• Diamond Sword / Pickaxe / Axe / Shovel

As an aside, increasing the maximum points for an individual kill from 150 to 200 would be a welcome change...

So true

I want to note, that all other kinds of sword are not present in this list. I mean bronze, mese, diamond. They are possible in the Cave map.

Yes - that's exactly what I mentioned - imagine getting your points halved just because the enemy did not have a steel sword (in spite of them having a mese sword) - that's why I feel this requires immediate attention...

I also think you should add steel pick to the list, in the "two hills" and "bridge" they are quite lethal.

Steel pick is actually better than stone sword. With same damage, you can hit enemy often (for 0.2 sec/hit) Though, I think it is not enough to consider it as "good weapon". Look https://github.com/rubenwardy/capturetheflag/blob/master/mods/default/tools.lua at properties "full_punch_interval" and "fleshy"

minetest.register_tool("default:pick_steel", {
    description = "Steel Pickaxe",
    inventory_image = "default_tool_steelpick.png",
    tool_capabilities = {
        full_punch_interval = 1.0,
        max_drop_level=1,
        groupcaps={
            cracky = {times={[1]=4.00, [2]=1.60, [3]=0.80}, uses=20, maxlevel=2},
        },
        damage_groups = {fleshy=4},
    },
    sound = {breaks = "default_tool_breaks"},
})

minetest.register_tool("default:sword_stone", {
    description = "Stone Sword",
    inventory_image = "default_tool_stonesword.png",
    tool_capabilities = {
        full_punch_interval = 1.2,
        max_drop_level=0,
        groupcaps={
            snappy={times={[2]=1.4, [3]=0.40}, uses=20, maxlevel=1},
        },
        damage_groups = {fleshy=4},
    },
    sound = {breaks = "default_tool_breaks"},
})

@afshaan4 If the steel pick is added to the list, every player has 'good weapons' in the cavern match, which is not desirable, as it will nullify the list.

[skittlemittle]

Oh yeah, ok.
