I have no idea how and if this (still) works though. Never tried it. So yea.. Turning it off, or blocking the person crashing your game seems the obvious and only solutions for now. --- Regime Matt Albiniak wrote: > The only time I've seen clients quit to the desktop were: > > 1) forcing a cexec with mani to cause the user to quit (dunno if other > mods have this "feature"). > 2) running zBlock/Cvar-x (or whatever its called) with mani and > redirects enabled. users who are redirected crash because the var > blockers prohibit the wait; command mani uses on redirects. > > There have to be other ways, but not knowing your cfg, mods, etc makes > it a long list of guessing. > > On 8/31/06, Hal & Arlene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. >> -- >> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >> I am a server admin, I am constantly having people adding me to there >> friends list, until now I have thought it rude to block, or refuse >> them.
