Sorry, I just don't see how these would work. *If a player chooses not to leave a spawn area within 45 seconds, they should be auto-kicked.
Not all people load at the same time, I have noticed people joining up to 15 seconds after we have joined from the lobby. They have a 30 second timer on their heads now it seems. I hope they don't need to heal, that would split their time in half (15). Pray to god they don't have a shotgun (10 sec reload), or that would be 5 seconds left to get the grenade/pistol and run out the door. *If a player chooses to shoot at a team player for 30 seconds (or a total of 25 health), they should be auto-kicked. 30 seconds? I assume this is based on playing lots of easy mode where it takes about 30 seconds of firing to do considerable damage? 1 second is all it takes in expert. 25 Health? So if someone runs infront of an autoshotgun/sniper barrage, or into some flames, or a pipebome? Who gets kicked? The person with the weapon trying to kill the horde? And not the Rambo that ran into the line of fire? The kick feature works perfectly for all of the above, start a vote to kick the idiot after warning and informing him, also talk to the other players. If they vote against you, it's clear they are enjoying it and you should find another match. If on the other hand, you find they kick the offending player then you have found a nice match. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 8 December 2008 8:24 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] L4D: TK'ing becoming more of an issue I rent a server, but occasionally I have to join other servers without active administrators. In the past couple of days I've run across game degrading behavior stemming from pairs of team killers. They aren't autokicked nor vote kicked. Typically I just leave and find another lobby, but it happened twice in a gaming session and feel that it could be resolved fairly easily and quickly by Valve. If a player chooses not to leave a spawn area within 45 seconds, they should be auto-kicked. If a player chooses to shoot at a team player for 30 seconds (or a total of 25 health), they should be auto-kicked. There are probably other harsher rules, but should control some of the behavior in the game. It's become a more frequent problem and one that can't be resolved by a team that can't get a majority of the votes for a vote kick. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
