What is a good way of counting ingame players? I usually check for character but that does not track players that are in deathscreen which should be counted as ingame.

well i ended up checking for team spec guess thats fine

you could also check whether the chr exists or the player is in dead spec mode

but yea, i guess !TEAM_SPECTATOR works

depends on your view of "not ingame"

15:02

but usually player must exist and not be in team speactators

instead of iterating you could count the ingame players by tracking joins and leaves

performance boost huh?

yes, performance boost by memorizing

a c++ vector doesn't count it's length when calling size(), instead it has an internal counter

looking stl for any array with bounded size in tw

?

for now, client are identified by their network slot index, I wonder if adding some abstraction could be nice

like uid on join, dyn array everywhere, and associative tables for translation

17:03

then, the client does not care about maxclients and trust the server (until some point)

17:04

uid could match with network slot index or could not

17:06

the server would be able to spawn any resonable amount of characters whitout taking account of real client

is there a rcon command to mute players? I dont think so. Would be nice as an alternative for banning if the person just uses intensive chat spam.

I was thinking that as well

I'd propose votebans + mutes + range bans(if they don't already exist) to be part of vanilla

agree mute should also mute votes

nah, that's kinda two different things, flaming doesn't necessarily mean funvoting and, at least I, would want to prevent each of these two types separately.

you would be able to say things abusing the vote reason

oh removing permission to vote is best ❤️ but i was afraight to wish that for vanilla xd

@Dune same as you were able to bypass mute by name changing and you can still reconnect name change to annoy but sometimes muting helps even if there might be channels of bypassing it

you can already bypass spec locking
