Yeah its true that ping kicker could be usefull but this is why most of us have mani-admin-plugin or similiar admin tool to give that extra set of features that CS Source itself doesnt have. Im sure mani-admin is familiar to most of the people at this list, if not for all but good features in mani-admin include:
- Ping kicker, get those high pingers away from the server as they cant find a server near them enough because they dont understand what ping really means. - Slaying people who enter the round twice using the retry command after their 1st quick death. (allowing joining on same round twice is a flaw in game and entering it too late when the enemy might be in base already. Happens a lot on cs_office. CT spawns as T is already at their spawn.) - Admin menu for easy punishment and other usefull features. - Adding custom content to the server which include sounds, skins for player and decal textures. - Text "adverts" - i prefer to use this to give info for players about how stuff works. People rarely even read the motd window. - Ingame statistics for how your game goes. Rank doesnt reset on map change or when you leave the server - Punishment stuff for servers that have friendly fire on (the only real option is to have it on, otherwise, boring as you can shoot through your teammates) - Reserve slots (admin always gets in even if the server is full) - Somewhat flood protection, no text spam and swear filter - Map voting (different ways) - Warmup timer - usefull if custom map is on and need to wait for more players. - Other fun features I'm not saying all the features are usefull but mani-admin-plugin just makes things easier to run and no, i dont have anything to do with mani-admin development. This aint a paid commercial either. You are correct on one thing. New features and in my opinion, especially new maps is a must or game will start dying. Some of us can play dust for 24/7 but not me... -ics Evaldas Zilinskas kirjoitti:
Omg, bright ideas.... I preffer optimizing the code, that at least a 2.8GHz Pentium D could handle a 24 slot 66tick server and add something like other nonVALVE games have. sv_MaxPing "xx". It kills, when some people can't understand that it's impossible to shoot them, when they run with latency over 400 Yours, Evaldas Zilinskas, Lemita JSC Tel.: 8~37 312 999, 8~679 26 812
