Mann vs. Machine (MvM) is a co-op game mode released in The Mann vs. Machine Update. In this game mode, a team of up to six players attempts to prevent a horde of AI-controlled robots from escorting a bomb to a drop-point located in a Mann Co. facility. During the game, players can purchase upgrades for their weapons and various abilities (resistances, movement speed, regeneration, etc.) using currency obtained by killing the robots, called credits.
All purchased upgrades will last for the duration of the game, or until the player resets their abilities at an Upgrade Station. If a player leaves the game for any reason their upgrades will be retained, providing they reconnect, as well as any credits the player has spent and/or has remaining.
Mann vs. Machine mode currently has five separate difficulty levels: Normal, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Nightmare.

SCG Mvm isn't too different! However, our MVM mode allows for up to 10 players, and the overall difficulty scales per player. It scales backwards for smaller games, and harder for fuller games.
[size=14pt]What is it?[/size]
GScramble is the scrambler / balance system SCG uses, ours however is specially modified to fix a few different issues. This plugin is designed to help balance the teams, and scramble player order whenever stacking / steam rolling is detected. It also has blocks in place that stops players from stacking , should they want to do so.

[size=14pt]How it works[/size]
The following are written explanations of various settings we have. They are not in any order so sorry for the randomness of their arrangement. These are the settings that can be voted on to be changed if you disagree with their set up! Don't be afraid to speak up!
[size=12pt]When a scramble can occur[/size]
When a team has won twice in a row.
When one team has failed to ever capture a koth point during a round.
When the frag ratio is greater than or equal to (2.0)
When a round has ended in less than (2 minutes)
When a the average score difference is (10)
When the average domination difference is (5)
The following round after a vote to scramble has passed.
[size=12pt]Scramble settings[/size]
If a scramble happens during round setup, medics will have their ubers recharged.
If a scramble happens during round setup, the timer will reset.
No one is immune to scrambles.
When a scramble occurs, it will scramble the teams by class composition to create a better mix of teams.
Scrambles will not happen unless there are 8 or more people in game.
Vote scrambles are possible with 6 or more people in game only.
Vote scrambles that pass will happen when the current round is over.
[size=14pt]Balance settings[/size]
Players who have capped a point / intel within 60 seconds of balance will be ignored.
Players dueling will be be ignored.
Engineers with buildings will be ignored.
If an imbalance (2 player diff) is detected, the teams will balance within (10) seconds.
If a strict imbalance (4 player diff) is detected, the teams will auto balance immediately.
Teams are auto balanced at the start of each round.
[color=orange]SCG ONLY : The auto balance will balance by LOWEST SCORE. Meaning if you have the lowest score on your team, you will be pushed to the other if you have to. This was put in by special request by me and done by our own Dr.Krunklehorn. I wanted this after noticing many occasions where random and often very loyal players on a team were kicked off to a team they may of been spending a whole round killing.[/color]
[size=14pt]What is it?[/size]
The AFK manager is exactly what it sounds like. It's a manager tool designed to regulate and deal with AFK players. Before this, the way AFK handleing worked as anyone AFK for 3 minutes would be kicked. This lead to a lot of complaints about afk players on a team causing natural imbalances. If these players were kicked, many times they'd rejoin with harsh words about being afk for only a few moments or as one person put it to me "not allowed to get up for a glass of water".
So now, this AFK system will push you to spectate after being AFK for a minute. Then after two minutes of being in spectate, you are then kicked. Meaning, you still have 3 minutes to be AFK. But only a minute to actually stay on your team. I feel this is a better option as it allows you to deal wit hwhatever while not mucking up your team.
Let's get this out of the way, this is not a pay for play / pay to win / pay anything whatever thing. This is entirely based on credits you earn while playing on SCG servers!
The SCG Loyalty Store allows you to set your name color, chat color, and species tag for use in the server!
Exactly as the name implies, it's the color of your player name!
Ditto. But this time your chat color!
This lets you set a species tag prefix in your name. For example, mine is [Crux]. Your species not on the list? Let me know!

Protocol Override is a difficulty mod for the SCG MVM servers that adjust the game's overall difficulty for games with 7 or more players.
The problem with hosting a 10 player MVM server is that the extra four people often make games far too easy. Even on the harder missions, the extra help tips the scales in favor of the humans. This plugin aims to change that. The difficulty of the game is adjusted into tiers based on groups of two players.

Robots that are teleported are adjusted differently, they are slightly less powerful than traditional bots. If the bomb is near the final point, teleported bots have much less of a speed boost and are weaker than their normally teleported counterparts. Teleported bots are only adjusted in the 7-8 and 9-10 player tiers.
Spy bots never have speed bonuses attached to them regardless of size.
Donating to SCG grants you a bunch of little cosmetic things on our Team Fortress 2 servers, they are cosmetic only, no pay to win garbage!
The end of round sprite is exactly as it sounds, you can select a little sprite to show up above your head at the end of a round!
