Infinite time/vote limits
« on: February 12, 2008, 07:23:23 AM »
If somebody votes for -43 minutes currently on the jump server this gives infinite time on the current map being played.
Is this intentional or some weird exploit?

If there's 3 players and 2 of them want the infinite time then the 3rd player may as well disconnect as the map cannot be voted off.  This sort of negates the point of the (already generous) time limit and makes it possible, in the right conditions, for a couple of players to monopolise the server.

If all the players want extra time after the full quota has been played then the same map can be nominated for the next vote menu and voted back on again which would seem the proper solution.

Also is there a way of enforcing the 2 vote limit?  At the moment all a player needs to do is to disconnect/reconnect after 2 failed votes to get 2 fresh votes.  Some players abuse this.  Is there a way to enforce the 2 vote limit even after a reconnection?

Sounds like a bug.  Others have PM'd me about it, as well...

Unfortunately, jumpmod is closed source... So you'll probably have to lobby the people at wireplay to fix it.

(Unless there's an r1q2 command we can use on the server to only block time votes with "-" characters... but I kind of doubt that...)

I don't know any way to enforce that.... at least not without access to the jumpmod source code...  (Unless one were to write some sort of wrapper for the game library, I suppose...)
