I played XMP extensively and I only had to deal with TKing a fraction of the time, and the boot feature helped to eliminate most problems. My one concern, however minor, was people using the revive function to keep killing you over and over again. Usually you could just click to respawn before they revived you again, but sometimes you basically got stuck with some jerkoff guy with a flamethrower who keeps clicking revive and kills you 10 times. And it was too fast for you to click respawn so you were basically sol till he ran out of flamethrower. I guess one thing I'd like to see in UTXMP is something as basic as if you TK more than a 4 times in a minute then you get booted or something along those lines. Any better ideas?

just wait, then ban the dude's CD-Key.

i agree... irc logging is a key way to help support this... xmp has a irc logger, but i feel it needs a little improvement, but it is a good start

i think every clan does that

Dandeloreon1984 · Sep 12, 2004

i think that will still exist, and anyways, from what i know, in nb, there is no tking in practice matches, unless you call the enemy shooting a mine near the node a tk that kills an arti runner.

Jackal · Sep 13, 2004

yeah, i like to TK the TK'ers. or randomly do it to a good friend, or do it to someone that is ideling, then try to kick them.

With your foot?

Dragster · Sep 13, 2004

why not have something like unreal admin .. TK four or more times and get your weapons chucked every time you TK after that in a match (exclude deployables)

so they get 4 chances after that every time they TK they get all weapons chucked.

im Dragona btw ive been watching these forums for a while now ^_^

Emmet Otter · Sep 13, 2004

Personally, im not as concerned about tk'ers anymore when theres cheaters do deal with. You just have to make use of the kick & ban feature.

W0RF · Sep 13, 2004

All the splash weapons in the game make TKs a bit too easy to set some kind of magical upper limit (gas nades, mines, etc). Doing something like that may end up backfiring on well-intentioned people who have poor aim or who do scorched earth to desparately prevent that last art capture.

Hopefully kickvote will still be in place.

You know, they can't revive infinitely. It takes some of your boost to revive someone, so after 5-6 TK's they usually can't instantaneously revive you and you have time to redeploy again. It's not a big deal. Use a different deploy. You can see people's names on your screen that are on your team, from a distance. Stay away from that person. Amazing this discussion has to keep going on when avoiding getting TK'd is probably the single most easy thing to do in the game :/

ive done it myselft 15 times before i had to reload, you can do it even more if you just right click and spray acid on the ground below them.

Out of interest, is there a console command to kick and/or ban? Just in case the master server goes down and you cant get a hold of the players from the server menu.
Incidentally, did you know the master's up at the moment?

Dandeloreon1984 · Sep 13, 2004

yes, there is dutch-geclo, but the problem is name colors, and you need to go to the server select menu on u2xmp to boot them, or even attempt a votekick... it is all about patience, but i do know that, from personal experience, i have become a target of a tker in order to help the server admin kick ban them.

dutch_gecko · Sep 14, 2004

Thought the colours would be a problem. I take it FMI will be making this part more robust as well?

Xaero · Sep 14, 2004

AFIAK, 2k4 doesnt really support name colors?

Mantik · Sep 14, 2004

They got rid of colored names in a patch, some servers still have it and you can play on those servers without a version mismatch if you have the latest patch and the server doesn't, so that's why you could be seeing some colored names. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that UTXMP will also NOT support colored names. Maybe it's in the FAQ.

[DF]phalanx · Sep 14, 2004

bah
xmp is not xmp without coloured names

Da Spadger · Sep 15, 2004

Then what if a bot TKs you? will it revive you ASAP?
