What going on? People kicking/banning players that are winning their matches.
I was winning a ffa match and i got banned reason -> "rifle whoring". LOL pathetic noobs.

#17: Griefers abound ...

by MeatROme on 10/02/2007 02:07

... I just saw a server running 4b2 (part of the "Four Bases"-SP-Campaign).
I guess some people really enjoy playing SP maps in MP (don't ask me why) ... coz' bbb (the predecessor) also continously cropped up - and CSL shows me a server running an old sauerbraten is currently set to that map at this moment.

Well, I think at this point I have to offer an apology to potentially grieved players - the "Four Bases" maps all contain some CubeScript/Entity jiggery-pokery to ensure you're playing them in SP mode ..
.. sadly this can be used (as I suspect the intention of the one who left that server with map 4b2 set) to render the server pratically unusable. :-(

I'm really sorry for anyone who's had to suffer from this on a (multiplayer!) server.

Actually there's a pretty easy way out though.

- disconnect
- enter "/fix4b = [setmaster 1;sleep 150 [map metl4]]" as command (press T first)
- reconnect and issue "/fix4b",
probably easiest if you do "/bind SCROLLOCK fix4b" first - then you just need to hit your scrollock-key when you've connected

End the griefing, get a life!

Why was that "jiggery pokery" included anyway? I removed it when I downloaded the maps.

Heh, be glad you can .. most players are sure to be stumped at this.

Well, for one thing - because it's do-able ;)
And then again because there (at least used to be) tons of people wondering where the hell the monsters were after calling "/map some_sp_map" instead of "/mode -2;map the_sp_map" or "/sp map_for_sp" ... that was my solution ... trust a spotty, under-sexed and over-hormonized moron to make a boon be a pain.

Sorry again,
guess I just went and forgot about human nature yet again ...

Better to issue a warning than force it, hm?

Anyway, perhaps releasing a version without it would be a good idea...

heh, well ... it used to be commented out .. but then timers were fixed; the warning did cross my mind ... I can only repeat my apology at this point.

Hey, no harm done. (Well, no lasting or significant harm, anyway.) You live and learn. :)

Yeah, it's the TC server. IIRC, they're testing it with Aard's approval. The overall set of server mods they have is really nice, most of them should be put into mainline Sauerbraten.

Actually, they're testing it with my approval, not Aards. I implemented it for them.

Ah,OK. It might have been Aard that mentioned it, memory fails me and I'm too lazy to search for it. In any case, it seems to work well.

#26: Eihrul Vs Aard, the saga begins!

by dhfjdhsfkjsdconorhfjdhfsjkd on 10/02/2007 07:39

If you are talking about Cube engine's history, you say Aard, if you are talking about current stuff, use Eihrul.


:D

I don't like that voting for master thing, it is way less simpler.

Honoestly, all this can be solved with one thing: Obtain master right when you join a server.
