You need to re-enable the 'kickplayer' command. Sometimes when im captain I get the urge to kick a douchebag off my team.

Hi krez,

I just sent a message to all the referees about this. I was hoping it would only affect refs, but I guess it affects even team captains.

I didn't disable the command because I wanted to. Unfortunately there are critical vulnerabilities in the OSP mod that r1ch discovered, which someone could exploit not only to crash the server, but to execute arbitrary malicious code on the server. (You know, like, delete my entire quake account, killing all the servers.)

So, unfortunately, it's that level of critical severity that has caused me to take preventative measures.

If OSP were open source, we could just fix the problems and get on with it. Unfortunately, the author of OSP seems reluctant to release the source code.

So for the time being, we're going to have to live with the disabled commands. (Or install a different tourney mod.)

Ideas are welcome.

Regards,

quadz

Has Orange Smoothie completely dissolved? Do we not know who any of them were? I mean.. I was able to track down the author of Vanilla CTF a few months ago with minimal effort. Perhaps Google some of the names in the README?

as long as its not battle, I don't care which mod is on the tourney servers

perhaps simply wait for r1ch's openTDM mod?

gx will always remain my favorite mod, besides that oldschool duel mod. If someone got the bugs out of gxmod that would be killer.

Oh ok quadz I understand. Id keep it turned off too if it would help with security issues. I thought it just got disabled to stop people like me from kicking people like titties and korrupt off my teams.

Don't they just normally leave anyhow?

Yes OSP is gone, I had an irc communication with 1 of its authors early last year and they will not release the source it also appears MS is involved in some fashion and that is the reason they offerred fro why they will / cant release it.

Sounds fishy but it is what I got then.

yes, please take part and help r1ch develop the next/best alternative.

krez · « **Reply #12 on:** March 02, 2007, 08:44:58 AM »

I have an idea for r1ch : Make the mod so that if a player gets kicked due to vote, that they cant reconnect for like 5mins. I know some cs admin mods let this be enabled.

Another: Sometimes there is a bug where if you kick someone off your team and lock it, they can keep rejoining it and do it just to be lame.

[BTF] Reflex · « **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2007, 10:51:57 AM »

Seems like the 'kickplayer' command being locked kinda squashes that bug.

It would only do that if they were invited/picked to that team in the first place.

ugh quadz, please fix this fast. It sucks not being able to kick people from the team
