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.

If they kick everyone, what's the fun in that? Sure, they can screw up the map all they want, but who's there for them to frag?
Wait... Never mind, they wouldn't be fragging anyone in the first place. Ah well, still idiots.

They just can't take it when someone is owning them, It makes them angry and kick them, Something that happens often in CS.

just open your own server and invite at least one person. in about 5 minutes your server will be full and nobody can screw up since you are master.

there is a problem though, if the server is full you can't join even if it is your server. 127.0.0.1 should always be allowed to join.

You CAN set a password for master. I think.

I'm not sure if it prevents people from taking master without the password, but it does allow you to take master if you know the password (even if someone else already has it).

A more robust system of doing things could curtail this sort of thing, but honestly there has been and always will be problems with people behaving this way. Doesn't matter what the game is, it used to happen to me in CS because I would kill people with the unscoped AWP.

But you DID pwn the server, so find pride in the kick ^^

Claiming master on a server which has (yet) no master or leaving the server if some retard runs the show are really easy solutions. I've almost never run into the problem of a retard being master since adopting this technique. Easy as that.

I believe a clan is using and testing vote master.

I was on it one day, when some one joined and continually team shot/killed even after being told blue is friendly red is enemy.

So I went to claim master and it brought up type such and such to vote me as mastger. The other guy who was being a dink also tried grabbing master. and it said the same thing for him.

they voted me master and as soon as I had master, the dink left.

I then relinquished master and we continued playing happily.

The game type was capture at the moment. And everyone one else was playing for fun unlike the griefer.

Had the vote system not been there, he could have easily grabbed master and griefed even worse.

The system actually works. I was very impressed.

But you would've grabbed it first, making it moot.

I'm glad to hear that the master vote worked, though. Do you know which clan this was, or at least which server?

The Conquerors, probably. I tried getting master there just in case of a cheater, but was told "master is not needed". :-/

#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.

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.
