It would make sense for Lucifer's fortress server (Crack Pipe) to have a time limit, since BiH/SiH had/has one.

Nemo had an interesting suggestion that might work well for a team sumo game. I'm thinking about putting together a team sumo map and doing the last fix to the invertedcross++ fortress map to turn my server back into a team server.

Anyway, nemo's suggestion was fortress with no cycle walls. I was thinking that might work well for a team sumo. ;)

Fortress without walls? I suppose with physics settings that don't allow you to stay in the zone alone for too long (high speed, high turn delay, small zone) so you have to time your conquest?

A copule of bug cries from the last days:

Code: Select all

[0] linux 2.6.15.2 committed suicide.
[8] linux 2.6.15.2: what happened to my keypresses? i grinded and it slided me
back...
[8] linux 2.6.15.2: BUG i guess but more like my connection
I'll look at that and make a debug plot, but it happened right at round start where network traffic is heavy, so the connection theory probably is right.

Code: Select all

[2] Lucifer: BUG some clients keep the poll around after it's been
ccepted/rejected
Yes, they all do. The server does not inform the client that the vote can now be removed. The new server controlled vote does not have this problem.

Code: Select all

[0] User 15 timed out.
[15] |_NiN_|dylan left the game.
[15] |_NiN_|dylan leaves Team blue.
...
[3] [fe]kinked: there's a fake dylan
[14] |_NiN_|dylan2: NO THERE ISNT!
[14] |_NiN_|dylan2: OMG!
[14] |_NiN_|dylan2: ITS A BLUE
[14] |_NiN_|dylan2: BUG
[14] |_NiN_|dylan2: LUCI HAD IT TOO
...
[0] |_NiN_|dylan2 renamed to |_NiN_|dylan.
Assuming the buzz was about the copy that timed out earlier, all seems to be well.

Code: Select all

[0] Creating grid...
[0] Vanhayes: renamed to Vanhayes:::::::.
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: heh
[0] done!
[1] Speed Demon: gratz
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: committed suicide.
[0] Resetting scores...
[0] New Match
[0] Go (round 1 of 10 )!
[0] 3
[0] 2
[0] 1
[0] 0
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: lol
[9] Lankie: they won everey single one
[7] wrtlprnft |mbc|: Vanhayes got dumped one time and then suicided... BUG
maybe
[0] wrtlprnft |mbc| core dumped teammate bobtom! Boo! No points for that!
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: committed suicide.
[7] wrtlprnft |mbc| --> Teammates: I'm sorry for that. my fault
[0] Vanhayes::::::: core dumped Lankie for 2 points.
[0] Vanhayes::::::: core dumped g5mac (ger) for 2 points.
[0] ~*SP*~Oblivion core dumped longball lasch for 2 points.
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: Intentional hole makers are puusys or unskilled players
[5] Vanhayes:::::::: committed suicide.
Looks like Vanhayes found a nice new confusion trick :) The color of the last : should give an indication. Disabling color coded chat strings would also help. Or adding a space between the name and the real :.

Well his actual name was "Vanhayes:::::::"... notice the difference:

Code: Select all

Vanhayes::::::: committed suicide //real one
Vanhayes:::::::: committed suicide //fake one
Oh and forget about the first bug message... that was me and my WLAN was in a very bad state, i lagged all the time ;)

He's on dynamic IP starting with 84.168.152 - 84.168.196. I could ban the whole range, but it's some thousand addresses. Well, I can ban Lucifers from that range... So, if you see him (he likes to say LOOOOOOL with really many OOOOs), tell him to behave like an actual human being, or else he gets nuked.
Hes now using the name "schleim"...

Yep. I let him back in, but only with that name, so you recognize him if he's misbehaving again. I promised not to reveal his identity so he can have a fresh start without being kicked on sight, but since you spotted him, I'm no longer bound by that. From the logs, he's still a chatspamming foulmouth, but I expect you to use the silence feature for those. I count six kick votes against him this month and only two succeeded, which isn't so bad.

Well.... you described him perfectly.... all those LOOOOLs reminded me about a thread I read here, so I searched a little and found it again. :D
