@Ronny: Yes, however clinetside mute is still not a full solution. Some people don't know about it, some people forget about it, and I am personally of the stance that every player in the server should not have to stop, go into the menu and start muting, this becomes more of a problem when there are seven players to mute, as if they are broadcasting together you won't know if all of them are together or if somebody is legitimately trying to use their mic to communicate, if they are not broadcasting at the same time then it means several trips to the escape menu. It's a double edged sword > pressing escape and doing it while on the field and you risk your life, but leaving it to play and you risk dying from various things (failure to hear teammates/spy decloaking/distracted/etc)
@arg! I figured the context gave it away, I was on my phone at the time and cbf typing the full thing :P Pretty much micspam is always gonna be a problem, and being proactive and banning groups like this is probably better than letting them even attempt to do damage, Cheers, Joshua 'Dislexsick' Bost On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 8:01 AM, Ronny Schedel <[email protected]>wrote: > > Every player can mute other players, you don't need an admin online. > > > > That too, but there are situations where a real cable is an advantage, > > such as Win 7, where VAC is non-functional due to code/driver signing. > > > > In any case, the cvar only stops HLSS or HLDJ, if they were doing it and > > an admin was on the server I assume they would have been muted or > > otherwise dealt with.
