Hi,

I'm working for a UT2003 1on1 Online League called Scandinavian Open and we have been looking for a autopausescript for UT2003, without any success... I guess you all know how it should work, but I'll explain it anyways ;)

2 players enter a match, it starts, if one player gets disconnected for one reason or another the game autopauses... If the player reconnects it starts from right were they left off, if he doesnt reconnect in a configurable amount of minutes the game starts without that player ie a forfeit... oh and an admin should be able to make the game start again too...

How hard would this be to make? I'm not a coder myself but if any of you guys would like to make such a mut it would be great because the community really needs it...

you could learn a lot from the autopause serveractor for UT1

if tournamentmode is on, every tick/seconds/x seconds you are going to count the number of players on the server, if a player drops, you change put the server on pause, when the player reconnects, you check if the player limit is reached (it could be that 2 players dropped)

so when everyone is back, you initiate a countdown, and you unpause when the countdown reaches 0

(i can't help you with coding, because i don't have ut2003, i only have ut1 :) )

Well I need it as soon as possible :)

Me and many others have asked for this to be included in TTM... Pakman has said it will be in TTM 3... but that is due for October I think... So it is a couple of months away :(

And I would code it if I knew how but I've never worked with Uscript before and I want it to work so I really dont think I'm the right person to do it...
