Help / Re: Dedicated Server not hooked up to RTB???

« on: April 19, 2010, 07:28:10 AM »

This has become such an intelligence test for many users. I've rejigged a way to avoid people having to do this for v4 so the problem should disappear then.

When is the buddy list going to be available?

That'll be included in v4 of RTB which has no release date yet.

Why didn't you do this in the first place?

The needs of RTB v2 were just for a downloads system so there was no point developing an entire website when it would be relatively easy to build a phpBB plugin for it. The needs of RTB have evolved since then and it's no longer workable to have all the different functionality we offer centered around the forums.

When you don't have to work around stupid phpBB or stupid WordPress it makes it a lot easier to implement features nicely, so building this website entirely from nothing means it'll be the best one yet for sure.

The API is a long way off though - I'll be starting work on that after v4 and after all RTB online functionality has been moved over to the new website (and by moved over I mean entirely re-written).

There will be RSS feeds available for pretty much everything. You'll also be able to get the RSS feed for your activity stream (as seen in the FileCP). Subscribing to submitters is also on the list. The in-game news feed will have an out-of-game RSS feed available too.

News updates are going to be much more regularly posted on the RTB website since I won't have to deal with wordpress and I can have one of the RTB Robots post those announcements into relevant threads on these forums to save me time. This too will have RSS.

Plus the BC2 graphics are actually really decent. One of the things I like most is the fact that there's bullet drop so any random douche can't just pick up a sniper and  kick ass - they actually have to be good at working out distances etc.

Depends on what you like more.
Strategy, planning and being patient in thirdperson or brainless shooting in firstperson?

Such a balanced review, nice work.

BFBC2 is awesome, I got it like a month ago and I'm still playing (and PC multiplayer is great).

Modification Help / Re: Setting a admin level through the script to SA?

« on: April 18, 2010, 07:45:46 AM »

commandtoclient(%client, 'setAdminLevel', %client.isSuperAdmin);
and remove the messageAll(*); line underneath it.

setAdminLevel takes either a 0, 1 or 2 for no level, admin or super admin respectively. You also need to call GameConnection::sendPlayerListUpdate() on the person who's level changed to make sure the GUI is updated for all other players on the server. Here is an example of RTB setting a person to super admin:

Code: [Select]

%victim.isAdmin = 1;
%victim.isSuperAdmin = 1;
%victim.sendPlayerListUpdate();
commandtoclient(%victim,'setAdminLevel',2);
messageAll('MsgAdminForce','\c2%1 has become Super Admin (Manual)',%victim.name);

I think bleeding eyeballs is a less than desirable side effect for a laxative to have.

Some fixes to the IRC client would be nice to see. Sometimes when I do something, all my player messages turn blank. I can't describe it any better.

Yeah this is an issue where all the chats you have open will become empty when you disconnect a server, or something like that. The IRC has been retired as of v4 and replaced with a more effective IM system instead so the IRC won't be getting any bugfixes unless v3.4 comes out in which case I may resolve some of the more pertinent ones.

Server reputation would be stupid. If someone joins the server and spams bricks then gets banned for it, they will rate it 1/5.

Server ratings would likely not be based on player input, but more on the player's actions and server activity.

Unless correctly trained, viewing the contents of the Fail Bin will cause your eyes to bleed and your bowels to evacuate themselves near instantaneously.

I hate that saying so, so much.

Yeah, it doesn't take a chef to know good food. But it does take a chef to know the time and preparation put into the food. The same applies to anything made on this forum. People may see a build/add-on and criticize it, but they don't truly know what went into it.

Stupidest saying ever.

Who cares if the chef worked extra hard on the food and put his hopes and tears into it? At the end of the day if it tastes like stuff then he's a terrible chef and I'm not paying the bill.

1) It reduces the hype and excitement about his new mod.
2) Outdated file versions will be floating around.
3) Ownership confusion.
4) Even though stuff isn't copyrighted, you are a member of this community too and should respect people enough to remove their content when asked.

I honestly didn't know that the add-on was incomplete. I assumed that it wouldn't be in use in a TDM (and apparently on RTB) if it wasn't finished.

Now that you know that it is - you can agree that you were in the wrong. RTB's private file system is there to allow you to share incomplete files with people for testing before you put them live, and I assume it was on a TDM for playtesting.

As far as I can tell, it wasn't even completed before you decided you'd take the beta model and release it ahead of him. Regardless of what your personal opinions on that are, I can tell you now that it is a richard move.
