Dead player getting points.

[QUARG]

I know that this is due to the players wall still being active when the point was scored but would there be a way to stop dead players from getting points without using...

Code: Select all

WALLS_STAY_UP_DELAY 0

Well even without thier wall up, they can still get points for the kill.

And im not sure if you can if their wall is still up. You may want to play around with the kill influence settings though anyway.

Code: Select all

ENEMY_TEAMMATE_PENALTY 2500.0   # Penalty on the effective time in seconds if the influence is from a teammate
ENEMY_DEAD_PENALTY 0.0          # Penalty on the effective time in seconds if the influence comes from a dead player
ENEMY_CHATBOT_PENALTY 30.0      # Penalty in seconds if the victim is in chatbot state and the influence is just the chatbot evading a wall
ENEMY_CURRENTTIME_INFLUENCE 0.0 # If set to 1, not the build time of the encountered wall, but the current time enters the comparison. Arbitrary blending values are allowed.
ENEMY_SUICIDE_TIMEOUT 10000.0   # If no enemy influence can be found for the last this many seconds, the death counts as a suicide.

Try altering ENEMY_SUICIDE_TIMEOUT. All fortress servers use non-default values, back from the CVS Test days, and you can find that example in config/examples/cvs_test/fortress_scoring.cfg.

Doesn't this belong in support rather than development?

(I am NOT asking because I think QUARG did anything wrong. Just for future reference.)

[QUARG]

Titan i thought maybe that the issue was in the source and not setting related since it has never been addressed in the past.

This line intrigues me.

Code: Select all

ENEMY_DEAD_PENALTY 0.0          # Penalty on the effective time in seconds if the influence comes from a dead player

How can a dead player have any influence?

[Jip]

Well when you trap another player and you die and a few moments later the other player dies in your trap, the traping (dead) player should get the point(s).

Yep, the old "RIP kill," which goes all the way back, years before these new score detection influence settings were introduced.
