Tbh I tired of questions like these, but it seem like I need to explain things.

TSC is based on ScrnBalance and can't be used without it. It is not like me being a dick and forcing use of ScrnBalance by adding a few static references. There is a huge amount of code inside ScrnBalance that is required and run by TSC. For example, if you'll check out TSC Tournament version history, then you'll see that most updates, balance changes and bugfixes were done inside ScrnBalance. For example, player-to-player damage. The only thing that TSC controls is turning human damage (friendly fire) on and off. Everything else (balance changes, a lot of bugfixes etc.) is done within ScrnBalance.

I'm not saying that porting TSC to vanilla game isn't possible. Everything is possible. But it has many cons:
  • A lot of work: 3-4 weeks of full-time job. And I'm not going to waste my time on this. At least, for free.
  • It will be incompatible with most mods, ServerPerks including.
  • Unbalanced vanilla gameplay and no way to fix that. Unless copy-pasting most code from ScrnBalance, with makes port pointless. ScrnBalance in turn allows reverting back to vanilla gameplay just with a few config settings.
pros:
  • are there any?..

The only reason why I'd agree to port TSC to vanilla would be its official incorporation into the game. But since KF2 is on the way and official support of KF1 is ended or is next to the end, then it won't happen. It is better to wait and create TSC mod for KF2 later...
