Re: [hlds] Valve...can we get the connect command for redirect in SCRDS?
A server has the right to say 'My house, my rules.' The server can run custom mods and what not. The server can that, if you're going to play here, you have to do this. And ultimately, the server can kick or ban you if you don't cooperate. What the server should NOT be able to do is to MAKE you do anything, except leave, without your knowledge and consent. A lot of the code, in my opinion, needs to be reworked so the the same functions as before (such as team switching, slaying, etc.) are available as things to be done to the player instead of forcing the player to do these things themselves. To my very limited understanding, such reworkings are already in progress. When it comes to connecting to another server, I've already said, a popup dialog box (similar to the auto-retry when full dialog box) pops up saying "we recommend" and it could have one or multiple servers. Then you could say "No, connect me to this one, auto-join when ready". Server ops could set whether that dialog box pops up all the time, or only when the server is full. And similarly, a dialog box if a server is closed, forwarding on to the correct server. The point is, ops shouldn't be able to take control of your keyboard and do things for you. They can kick you off their server, but they shouldn't force where you go after that, without knowledge or consent of the user. That's abuse. That's not "My house, my rules", that's "You are now my slave until you manually disconnect." Sarcasm is not appreciated, so let's try to be constructive, okay? I realize I'm new here, but I figure petty fighting isn't going to accomplish much. I figure there's so many ways we could improve this game if we work constructively and share ideas. --Thortok2000 - Original Message - From: "Roman Hatsiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 5:28 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve...can we get the connect command for redirect in SCRDS? Server commands were disabled just in tide with this brand new idea of protecting players from server operators abuse and giving players more choice than ever. At the same time this choice is being taken away from sever operators. I just suggest to make next logical step because kick and ban abuse is far worse that anything else. For example, yesterday I got banned on one of servers in Germany just for five kills of server admin I made in row so he started falling from the top of his stats. This IS abuse, not the server commands or redirect or anything else. We must do something. Let's start vote topic on Steam forums and you'll see what community thinks about it.

Re: [hlds] Valve...can we get the connect command for redirect in SCRDS?
What I'd like to see: In the 'this server is full, auto-retry' dialog box, have a 'this server recommends' and have a button to push to go to the server it recommends. Also, if you attempt to connect to the server and they don't want you playing there, it could be a 'this server is closed, go here instead, please update your favorites' and again have the button. Automatically redirecting you...no, I don't like that, I don't like that at all. - Original Message - From: "milchworld" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 5:44 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] Valve...can we get the connect command for redirect in SCRDS? please no! most admins abuse this to fill their server. when i join a dust2 server i DO NOT WANT to play italy! when i join a server where my friend is - i do not want to play on ANY other server...

Not to mention other cases when redirection can be very useful - load balancing and promoting new server just to name a few.

[hlds] Public DWP Variable
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi, this is my first post to this list, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. Please feel free to correct me. Anyway, could you please make mp_dynamicpricing a public variable? What I mean is, when I use server browsers that allow me to filter/sort by the variables on the server (like round length, or bomb timer, etc.), the option to filter for mp_dynamicpricing is not available. Personally, I want to find servers with it turned on...this seems to be quite difficult to do, at least for my region. I'm sure there's plenty more people that'd like to be able to find them with it turned off. I'm not asking for this to be a feature of the in-game server browser (though that would be nice), just for it to be a public variable so that other server browsers can filter by it. (If 'public variable' isn't the right term for it, I apologize, I don't know what is.) --Thortok2000 "I don't know half of you as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." - Bilbo Baggins, from his speech on his eleventy-first birthday. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
