Admins PLEASE put down a idling countdown

[Seras Victoria]

Well I am on the ill geisterbahn server as I speak, great fun, All day a few bloody morons have been keeping the server occupied in the opening screen not clicking ready, They are just doing that for the sake of annoying people.

That's why I ask to all admins PLEASE realize it is NOT a good thing to disable a countdown on idling or the opening menu screen.

People will keep the server occupied for NO GOOD reason, Just to keep others out.
A couple of immature pathetic brats they are, those kind of "players".
of course it's very nice of you to help people so they don't miss the fun because of slow connections but these kind of actions are more likely to happen.

these people don't deserve the chance to ruin the game for everyone else, neither for that same reason do they deserve to even play it.

Sorry for saying this, but for these craps Kickbanning them for life is a valid way of getting rid of them.

You've confused me, your complaining that these guys have been stopping people getting on the server by idling, and your saying that you don't want an idle countdown kick? Am I reading this right?

[oddball]

That server blocking problem has been a real bitch the past few days :\ There's hardly any servers as it is >=\

Hi agree with Seras Victoria ( lara), these people are really starting to piss me right off, thou was looking forward to a few games today on ill geisterbahn server with the proper KF player, such as Seras Victoria ( lara), Grim, RoBoT, Grex»]4D[«, PIX and other players of this kind. ill geisterbahn server is still unplayable even now, time 10.22pm, its got 3 ppl on, 2 called player and 1 called Koga.

I think Seras Victoria means that you are unable to play on ill server because they are not reading up for ya, they are just staying connected to annoying people. Something must be done!!! Because this is one of the best servers around!

stars out



Somethings needs to be done,

I would say thats the admin's responsibility. He should appoint other members to moderate for him

Nothing a simple mutator couldn't fix. Complain to some scriptkiddie.

That's the point of the post Medic, she's announcing to have all admin's of servers to put idle kick counters or whatever they're called on their servers

*Shrugs* I thought she was meaning to not use the setting in the .ini for it...

[Antigod]

I agree on this, it is actually pissing me off TBH. I just dont understand why ppl log onto servers and AFK, what the hell are they doing?

The countdown on all servers should be enabled by default, otherwise this problem is going to continue. I've noticed this quite a few times on Geisterbahn, it's the best server as well!

1. The 3 players on Geisterbahn, who block are all Koga.
2. Blocking servers is since 2.11, cause player, who use non-Kf skins get blocked. But they join, somehow. So, all players with costum skins block all server, where they join. Hope, it get fixed with next patch (if there will be one...)
3. Asked Virus about resetting Geisterbahn.

Edit: Geisterbahn resetted.

There might be, but players are kicked for a reason, that is not to let them connect with wrong skins and ruin the feel. Also the melee animations are not in the normal models giving "accessed none" error spam in the logs and "can" cause crashes.
The time out is there for a reason.

USE IT

Great

[Grex»]4D[«]

i asked koga and he said he'd got disconnected, he wasnt intentionally blocking the server.

as i said to lara yesterday, complete removal of the ready menu would fix it, so the rounds already started when you join

[Grim]

But that got rather annoying in KF 1.0, even when you specifically join a server that some one created two moments later you got pretty swarmed and lost time to get weapons and ammo

[Antigod]

I actually like the Menu that KF2 has, it's different and allows you to chat to other players whilst keeping the chat history available, I do agree however that the timeout needs to be turned on to stop this kind of problem.

A quick fix is using the console command
showvotemenu, and so they will leave once a new map loads.
