Ok noted, thanks.
I'm not so sure about chat logging/filter etc as this is HUGE and probably twice the size of how Zound stands atm.
Is this to get around the ServerExt problem ?
Do you use ServerExt ?
What in hells name ElMuerte has done I just dont know.
Lets just wait a while before we pull Misty in, whats her problem anyway ?

Frogger can you please go edit your post on Atari for Zound51 to:

sorry, i never tried serverExt

post updated..

yes..logging/filter is to try to work around needing serverext. I am still using uadminmod for my logging and filtering...I thought you may have the code already as UT2Vote has a logging feature. It does creep the scope of zound, but may make it more popular if we can do it right.

the other stuff is just nice to haves....none are critical, but some have been asked by other people as well..

misty's problem is with mostly naming and triggering...i think it would go away if she would just rename her wav/uax files. I am still not 100% understanding her issue TBH.

Oh..Frag Ops support was also asked for. zound=0 entry in user.ini is not working... honestly i don't see a need to address this issue as it affects a very small customer base and I don't think any of us could thouroughly test this. just my $.02

That Frag Ops's problem as they use a custom User.ini file and for some reason the information does not get replicated to the server.

I've also had several local requests to add a chat/filter to Zound but I dont want to go there as it will directly conflict with Zound as that is whats happening with ServerExt, its a conflict as El Muerte has some very strange code in there.

If you could go on Atari and ask that guy (bushbomb) EXACTLY how I can replicate the problem on a server with no other players or maybe one other then I can fix it.
But it must be exact as I dont have time to mess around with more or less, plus or minus etc etc.
Also it must be taken into account that I have never used ServerExt so I need its setup as well.

The "Allowed Player" List might also be possible, I will see about that.
I may add a Filter to filter out swear words etc as this is a major request here, something like Filterword=True or something like that, although I think it can already be done with the 'beep' sound and Hidden=True

I see complaints about the volume, Zound already has a ZoundVolume= ?
Another thing I'm looking at is making the Zound On/Off permanent by adding a small replication to the client to set a Zound=0 or 1 in his User.ini file
Then there is the all important AdminOnly=True problem that needs fixing.

Well judging by the flow of ServerExt users they dont really need a fix
What is Misty refering to in her post about:

@ frogger

will the sound-array problem be fixed in new version ?
( as stated in Miss_Mistys mail )

Otherwise we are making good progress here with 52B2 and should hopefully have it ready today or tomorrow for tests.

and serverext guys are outta luck i think..i posted in both forums..and I PM'd bushbomb. Not much else we can do. I do still think chat logging owuld be a well received feature that would make lots happy. Except of course that guy that has to write the code..

I do still think chat logging owuld be a well received feature that would make lots happy

1. Would the chatlog from UT2Vote be adequet or does it need expanding and if so in what way ?
2. I have never used a chatfilter so I'm not aware of how it works except that it filters out unwanted words or phrases.
I had a look at the code for the ServerExt Chatfilter and its VERY complicated in that it scores points for people that swear alot and auto bans them and looks like it does a zillion things one would never use.
If I was to add a ChatFilter it needs to be very basic, straight forward and simple.
So what would the basic requirements be ?

 

[frogger187]

only basic logging....as ut2vote..time stamp and player name is sufficient

filter to me only needs to filter. no points or anything...just prevent the words form showing..
