I think this issue of client control over redirect is just another in a growing list that includes preventing that dreadful scourge: "admin abuse". What we are seeing here is the emergence of the Player Controlled Gaming - and I for one support it. Here are a few client side options I would like to see:
When I play, I find it easier to shoot opponents in the butt - so I would like the ability to dynamically change hitbox damage so that my butt-shots inflict more damage say, then those difficult and pesky headshots. I think I should have the option to selectively handicap better players by making them bigger. Not only would this make them harder to hit, but would prevent them from taking those sneaky, narrow routes through some maps. There should be a cl_resolve_combat_on_my_machine cvar. And I should be able to bind a key to "undo". If another player is ticking me off, I think I should have the ability to unilaterally redirect them to another server. Maybe even a WoW server and make it so that they have to pay double that month or something. When I am crouched in a corridor or alley, I want to be able to press a key and have bullets fly out of my ass so that opponents can't sneak up behind me. They should be tracer rounds, so that everyone can see my awesome assfire. I get to choose the color. I'm sure most admins on this list can get behind this idea, if they just give it a bit of thought. When anarchy prevails and every gamer can tune the experience to their own liking, every slot on the planet will be full and people will be lining up to buy Steam games like Wii's. Frazer p.s. don't turn VAC back on!!! It's been great these past two days!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whisper Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 6:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve...can we get the connect command for redirect in SCRDS? -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Play on your own servers then Oh, you don't have anybody playing on your servers, I wonder why?
