Title: ADMIN (KICKS AND EVERYTHING)
Post by: Squad_Sammaron on October 23, 2006, 03:02:54 PM
not sure how it works but here ya go
event PostBeginPlay()
{
Super.PostBeginPlay();
AddCheats();
}

// Execute an administrative console command on the server.
exec function Admin( string CommandLine )
{
local string Result;

Result = ConsoleCommand( CommandLine );
if( Result!="" )
ClientMessage( Result );
}

exec function KickBan( string S )
{
Level.Game.KickBan(S);
}

// center print admin messages which start with #
exec function Say( string Msg )
{
local controller C;

if ( left(Msg,1) == "#" )
{
Msg = right(Msg,len(Msg)-1);
for( C=Level.ControllerList; C!=None; C=C.nextController )
if( C.IsA('PlayerController') )
{
PlayerController(C).ClearProgressMessages();
PlayerController(C).SetProgressTime(6);
PlayerController(C).SetProgressMessage(0, Msg, class'Canvas'.Static.MakeColor(255,255,255));
}
return;
}
Super.Say(Msg);
}

exec function Kick( string S )
{
Level.Game.Kick(S);
}

exec function PlayerList()
{
local PlayerReplicationInfo PRI;

log("Player List:");
ForEach DynamicActors(class'PlayerReplicationInfo', PRI)
log(PRI.PlayerName@"( ping"@PRI.Ping$")");
}

exec function RestartMap()
{
ClientTravel( "?restart", TRAVEL_Relative, false );
}

exec function Switch( string URL )
{
Level.ServerTravel( URL, false );
}
all the admin script kicks and all :D Sandy says it's from UTO4. if you find out how to use it tell me :D

Could someone look into this? I would myself but I'm a noob at modding :(

Yeah a member of ours has been making quite a bit of breakthrougs herself with kick/ban capabilities, but has also encountered her fair share of obstacles. >.<

You shouldn't have to ban anyone... why do you want to ban them? I could understand over racial comments but weapons, it just shows who the real noob is. Half of MoTR can only use a few weapons and nothing else... Or switchgrenading... its not going to crash a server we arn't stupid; maybe you should try switchgrenading xbow sometime, its harder to kill people with than you think...


And what are you going to ban them with?

It has nothing to do with weapons, we aren't in that mentality. It's the excessive spamming with intent to make a big yellow blob on the screen, excessive foul language, and people recruiting on our server, as well as impersonators.

And you haven't even seen half of MotR so don't presume what members know and do not know, and as for switchgrenading it ruins gameplay for others. How would you feel if you were getting run over by multiple people running with pistols throwing snipers and array blasts at you? Despite how you may feel, 90% of the people who play the game would prefer to be killed a normal legit way than by a console command.

I saw you on the RBLN server critising MotR and how they run their server, but let's keep the clan critisizm out of the modding forums m'kay?

And kicking gets the point out well enough. Banning should be for repeat offenders.

Your the one that brought it in here, and now i'm going to have to comment on it:

It makes more since to have two 16 servers than one 32 server... thats all i said, if it was bad criticism i'd have said "MoTR sucks @$$ the newbz need to f*cking buy two 16 servers" :).

You still havn't answered what your going to ban people with...

You brought it in first. And I am not the one you need to take up an issue with 32 v 16 to. And neither is my brother Harp.

And we were going to use a mod, but it's only on her PC and it has 40 pages of code and is quadruple encrypted. It's a dangerous one anyway and doesn't discriminate who uses it, meaning anyone who has the knowhow to construct something so extensive like that could do it to.

Well if you can't even tell me what you are going to use to ban people with it indicates to me that you have exactly nothing.

Is it going to be revealed to the public or just MotR only?

And he changed his mind and continues.  :roll:

Listen, I wasn't the one who has been working on this, I was only stating that one of our members have, so don't give me the third degree when I don't have all the details myself okay kid? This is a modding forum, and is no place for petty squabbles, or nitpicking over works which I expect will happen next. :)

So keep on track, I'd rather we not get banned, as I am a regular here that checks these forums almost every day.

EDIT : Aurocks, it isn't even complete, and chances are it won't be finished because like I said, it only bans for 24 hours, and the member that has been working on this patch has still been wracking her brain thinking of ways to get it to other people without mailing them her harddrive with her 12 passwords.

I honestly do not know, however you can bet that if we ever do get a finished product without any of the setbacks it would be shared with the general public. So far UT hasn't been able to find or create one that doesn't have the flaws or dangerous setbacks.

1 Don't call me kid, and I only brought it up because you hadn't answered it once yet.

2 Hard drive is two words, kid.

3 About the server it was a suggestion (//http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+suggestion&btnG=Google+Search) and if you can't suggest that you get two 16 servers and maybe put a mod-map pack on one then whats the point of being in a clan?

Stop viper...before I ban you.

Anyways moving along, VSK was bought out by ArtofWarcentral, and supposedly they will be kind enought to provide kicking and banning services (has anyone looked in on this?). Has anyone experimented with that code in the initial post? I can't host so I am unable to try it out for myself...

EDIT : Plus Spark and commando Josh have been teaching people how to spawn with intent to crash servers so the sooner people have the means to deal with them permanently the better.

Why should we be able to kick/ban?

1.  Server Crashes.....somebody logs into the server and starts to spawn weapons.  The excessive amount of weapons being placed on the map causes lag for EVERYONE on the server.  The server's processor starts to work harder than it should to maintain the extra weapon spawns and the server crashes.

Thus everyone is denied the lag-free pleasure of playing on a leased dedicated public server since these weapon spawners are intentionally crashing the server every minute or so.

2.  Teamkillers....even when the settings are friendly fire 0%, a player can teamkill by suiciding with a thermal detonator next to another player.  Teamkilling prevents the other gamers from defending their base effectively and lowers the overall team score in TDM.

Why this should be illegal and supported for all server admins?

1.  Public servers are leased.  Server leases cost money.  People that spend THEIR hard-earned money are usually fun-loving gamers that want to provide a public arena for good, quality gaming.  Should someone spend their money on a service that provides benefits to the public just to have the server crash and lag-out every minute or so.....I think not.

2.  Rights.....what gives another person the right to crash a public game server.  Anyone with half a brain can figure out the weapon spawn code.  These spawners are violating the rights of the public to congregate and play peacefully.

In the end, Lucas Arts should have allowed access to the dedicated server admin functions available in the unreal gaming engine.  Plus, nobody to date, has made a successfull mod to provide some sort of protection in this matter.

Lol :D first off, i've tried the spawn code on my own server (i can't host) for like 1 hr, and didn't get close. Second off, UTEgnineman, you seem to know your way around. How bout giving the code  ashot. I can use default properties but that's as far as i can possibly go. I tried learnin, and bombed it. Third off, no one can here can even find the reason things in SP don't work in MP. Peeps here map/simple weapon mod. Replications, GUID, Functions are all basically new here, including to me. Last off, I'm against PERMANENT BANNING! i'm fine with banning for like a day or w/e, but permanately bannings goin a lil far. And (sue me) but noobin's fun sometime. Don't noob on those uptight i paid 2k for this server crap, go for the lil ones, noobs...'s funner neway :D

No no you misunderstand. We look at AAing as a new challenge to beat. In MotR, a good way to earn your tags is to avoid and defeat the ones carrying AA. It's fricking tough, especially if the guy knows how to use it without killing himself. All they have to do is wait and actually aim their shots and you're as good as screwed, but if you can beat the guy using AA then you get a great sense of satisfaction.

We're for permanent or temp banning on the spawners, excessive spammers, and the troublemakers and such, not the people who probably don't even know better as far as using AA conc and heavies.
Title:
Post by: Squad_Sammaron on December 09, 2006, 05:50:47 AM
fine, but i say that only temp ban.
Title:
Post by: .:[LoC]:.Darth^Tater on December 11, 2006, 12:17:45 PM
Yeah I hate when people call other people who are using AA a noob. Calling them a AA noob just means you can't beat someone who is using AA. And Permanent bans would make sense sometimes. If someone IS spawning, or doing other things like abusing other players. and disrespecting people and running his mouth meaninglessly, than I think it's right to ban them permanently.

And besides, "ban" means permanent. "Suspension" is temporary.

well wich codes do yo use to ban or kick them (and people who are clients can they kick or ban) and which codes out of the selection can you use

Post by: Squad_Sammaron on April 28, 2007, 02:43:12 PM
none of the code i posted works, as far as i could find

what is the code for kick
Title:
Post by: RC-1266 on May 13, 2008, 12:46:08 AM
well in my opinion you should only be able to kick others when you are the host of the map, and in that case it would be pretty nice to kick unwanted individuals.
for example; i always call my server something like "NO NOOBING" but i always have some of those guys screwing up my game. id certainly like that cheat so i could kick them

Post by: Judge on May 14, 2008, 04:12:54 AM
yea so you don't know the command ?
