Not enough verified modes / Portal rant
According to Portal, the only verified modes are breakthrough, conquest, and rush. But, if you browse official servers, there is squad deathmatch, team deathmatch, domination, etcetera, etcetera. Why? If you want to create a hardcore server that isn't breakthrough, conquest, or rush, tough luck. You have to create the spawn points manually, create the scoreboard, track each player's kills and deaths and update the scoreboard, count the total team's kills and update the scoreboard, and create and update the winning condition. And good luck getting the kills, deaths, and total kills to match, because revive triggers often fail for some reason. And assists don't trigger correctly. Buggy, buggy. And good luck creating the spawn points, because Godot sucks at displaying coordinates; you have to measure them all manually with the tape measure tool, which is hard when everything is lumped up when looking from the side. You end up having to host your server over and over again to tweak the Y values. And good luck hosting your server to test, because you are fighting everyone else doing the same.
Why aren't team deathmatch and squad deathmatch verified modes? Why isn't a 2-team or 4-team scoreboard a default option? Why do you have to create your own custom scoreboard? Why can't a default 2-team or 4-team scoreboard exist? Everyone knows what they want. They want to see kills, deaths, assists, and total team kills. There should be a default scoreboard for all common team quantities. A custom scoreboard should exist for people who want to make their own, but a default scoreboard that works should exist.
And, after all that, since it is considered a custom server, players who do join, get no unlock progression or challenge progression. Who is going to play your hardcore team deathmatch server after you spent 3 days trying to make it? What a waste!
Please fix this. It's insane that there are only 3 verified modes and that everything else is custom and janky,
