Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 first i'd like to say that mta: sa dm is a great success and only in it's preview stage. much better than sa-mp i think, although sa-mp is still great (not to mention was the only mp sa mod [that you can shoot people in] for years). thank you for all the hard work that was put in. however this issue has come to mind on more than one occasion. i hate it that some asshole will come in with a name like """'""'''"''""', and in order to votekick you have to write that whole thing out, instead of a number. does anyone have the patience to write down the guy's name and then votekick? is it possible to implement an ID system like in the glorious SA-MP? I was just in little whiteys and there was a minigun dickhead. i was going to votekick him but gave up because his name was just like the one in the title (that's " and ' for those inattentive). there's no way to type and look at the TAB screen at the same time. what is easier? /votekick '""'"""'''""'' /votekick 12 i think the latter is better. (sorry if this is in the wrong forum) Link to comment
Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 well, your right... but maybe just goto console (F8) .. if the >stupid name< appears at least one time you just need to select, copy and paste.. if you do commands in console you don't need the / in front of the command.. just "votekick ... " (well, you allready know that) Link to comment
Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks, it will be easier now here's a real shitter: i votekicked the same guy twice before he got to do anything, then he came in with a space for a name. i tried "/votekick[space][space]" and that obviously did not work next release has got to have an ID system. i remember in SA-MP all i had to do was press TAB and remember two digits.

Magus1724 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yes, the ID system is definitely easier to use, for just about anything, to warp to someone, kick, PM, and all sorts of other commands. or maybe also having a system that can finish a name for you? like after putting the first 3 letters in Link to comment
Kemeros Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ah.. there it is. Incompetence. Now why the hell did the guy was able to mini gun you? If you don't want people on YOUR server to NOT kill you. DISABLE the damn weapons and the vehicles with one. If you don't know how... put a damn password on your server to keep those people out. If you leave all the rights on. What do you expect?? That the guy will gently look at you and kiss you? Fuck that.. he'll pull out that fat gun and shove a few rounds up your ass. And he should do it. Why? because you are a whiner. Can't accept the fact that people can kill you on a server?... try one where they can't... just can't take this crap anymore... learn to read wikis and manuals people... BTW. LittleWhitney's Freeroam server ISN'T exactly freeroam only. It is more than possible to kill you on it. Ask it's admin to make the server so that the players are invincible. That way you'll have your little sandbox and you'll be able to play with your little doll. ID's would be great though. For rpg servers for exemple. Where you sometime need to "enforce" some ground rules. But any server where it is possible to kill someone should disable that damn votekick... to shut the mouth of all the little kids who whines. Have fun wuss. Kemeros Link to comment
Guest Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey, thanks for all the uncalled-for insults Did i ever state that I was disappointed about being killed? I read my post over, maybe i somehow hinted at it... nope. See, the only way to get a minigun in littlewhiteys is by cheating. I killed people, yeah, flew around with the rc baron shooting people. this guy, however, was making rockets, too. Yep, i'm a whiner. I suppose we should allow cheating and all that, right? retard Link to comment
Kemeros Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Anti cheat is on it's way... Calling someone a minigun Dickhead... shows some disappointment yes. I'm just pissed off at the idea of making votekick easier.... People kick people over and over again sometimes for stupid things like being run over. It's making the job easy for the whiners. That's all. anyway... mta will do what they gotta do about this i guess. Kemeros Link to comment
finn_bryant Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i thought /give worked in littlewhiteys? maybe im getting confused. Link to comment
tomozj Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Votekick is useless, as the player can join back in with two clicks. But the point is, MTA is based on a system of different elements, and not playerids. However, you can script playerids in via tables and such, so feel free to try. Back to my first point, votekick is kinda useless. I'd say make it a 5 minute ban kinda kick, cause most of the time they rejoin straight away and try to kick you. Damn idiots. Link to comment
arc_ Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i thought /give worked in littlewhiteys?maybe im getting confused. It's "give ", not "give ". Link to comment
Kemeros Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Give isn't supped to work in Little whitney no. At least.. it doesn't without cheats. Link to comment
Woovie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Kemeros. You have a terrible point. Maybe I have a /gotocar dumblongname. And I want an ID system. Please remove the thought of kick being the only option. Now I would love to see this on a server. Link to comment
Kemeros Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I do agree that warps would be easier with IDs. A suggestion for the votekick though: Make it so you need 3 people to do /votekick on a person to lauch the vote. That way, you prevent whiners to kick you for no reason. Since if 3 people or more are all asking for you to be kicked/banned. You must have done something wrong right? EDIT: made a post about this int he suggestion forum: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=21650 Kemeros Link to comment

In that way, you perhaps make things less easy for after-kick-comebacks to votekick their kicker Edited January 22, 2008 by Guest Link to comment
Kemeros Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yes, it would also prevent that, it's true. Kemeros Link to comment
Guest Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 If ID could be added, it would be much easier when text in console would not move and deselect when something is added on chat... Sometimes, when there are many people on the sever, and everybody is talking, it hard to copy nick when text in console is going mad I hope you know what I mean... Sorry for my weak english Link to comment

Sorry for my weak english Hmm... Well I've already got the beginning's of an ID script operational, basic kicking by ID is already there. If there is still demand for it, I'll work on it Saturday and try and get it working with votekick etc. Interested? Cloudy Link to comment
Woovie Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Please continue work! I would be more than glad to help you if you want it. I really want an ID system for my Free Roam. Link to comment
eAi Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 votekick (and anything similar) is not coded in MTA, it's coded in a resource. As such, it's entirely in the community's hands. If you want to add IDs, you're more than welcome to. Link to comment
Cloudhunter Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Please continue work! I would be more than glad to help you if you want it. I really want an ID system for my Free Roam. Right, I'll continue it. I'll be starting on it Saturday, Sunday, or Monday If I don't end up finishing it within the next week, I'll release the code for you to do with it what you wish. At present it: Assigns each player an ID from 1 to 200 When a player leaves the server, or get's their ID reassigned, it frees up the ID from the pool Allows admin's to set a player's ID - but only if it's not an already taken ID. It also allows you to set an ID outside the range - 1337 was a good test one Allows people with access to kick players by ID Adds a new column on the scoreboard for ID's Displays ID in player chat - but unfortunately it also does the same thing which team based games and anything that change the player nick colour does - meaning that you get double messages. The only way to fix this, is to either disable the function in my script (I'm thinking of detecting when resources start, and disabling the feature if it's one which does this) or to remove the offending lines of script from the game mode. What I'm planning to add is: Banning by IP Banning by serial Integration with votekick (either by editing the votekick script, or by interfacing with it if it has any exportable functions) Temporary ban on kick by script, to stop people from rejoining straight away. (Although, that could possibly be a better function for another script) An exportable function for scripters, getPlayerByID() (most of the work is already in place for this) If you have any suggestions, please let me know Cloudy Link to comment
Magus1724 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Can you also add a possibility to PM by ID, it would greatly be appreciated as well Link to comment
Woovie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 PM by ID and all of that I think you should code yourself. I would love to see your code so I can have script ready to integrate with yours for some commands I am writing. Link to comment
Cloudhunter Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well, there is only one relevant external function at the moment, and that is getPlayerByID(ID). Does exactly what it says on the tin, gets a player object from an ID. If the ID/Player doesn't exist, it returns false. I won't get chance to even go near the code until Monday. PM by ID is easy, I'll do that. Cloudy Link to comment

Cloudhunter Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just an update. Done quite a bit of work on it today. Vote kicking is now operational. Also added another command, getPlayerFromNickOrID. Which basically, does what it says on the tin. This way, you can easily have scripts which work with both nick's and ID's! I MAY have a release sometime in the next few hours; depends how well the scripting goes. Cloudy Link to comment
