Bug in referee kicks (etmain/et2.60)


(-FA-Undertaker) #1

A few of my referees are complaining that the wrong people get kicked if they select them from the referee menu, or even with /ref kick <playerid>. It’s a v2.60 ETMain server. Are there any reports of bugs in the referee kick handling in v2.60? Maybe a new bug while SD tried to fix the longer than 32 char kick?

This is a known bug in etmain since the new patch came out… old news… Its fixed in Etpro 3.2.0

I think he did help tho, you asked “Are there any reports of bugs in the referee kick handling in v2.60?” and he informed you that yes, it is a known bug in 2.60 ETMain

seems very useful to me, someone has a problem with a bug, someone else points to a fix.

just because you have some stupid beef with bani and the etpro team, don’t slag the work they’ve done to benefit the community

Well , what about if i play TCE as I do ?
Who will tell these things to their developers ?
NO ONE ! because all will just force some etpro !!
This is only your ignorance people , posting bugs shouldnt be closed by this , but by fixing suggestions and so…
I hope you will one time get Nail that not everyone loves ETPro and that etmain is still played a lot…

This isn’t about forcing anything on anyone, Etnies just said that it’s a known bug in etmain (which I guess it is) and that it’s fixed in ETPro (which at least I think is good to know). I’m sure someone on the ETPro team will tell other modders how to fix it if they just ask.

Anyway, etmain reports belong in this thread:

If there ever is another patch the devs will probably look at thread first.

BTW Nail I dont like only ETPro because of some people ( not dev team )
And it is more OSP Quake 3 than ET was , anticheat is useless ( still needs that //-/-*/ punkbuster because etpro anticheat is already bypassed )
I hope that there will be new patch and this time not from ETPro team ( i feel there that they didnt want to put there ETPro things so there are lot of needed things …)
Also it brings bugs…
I would like to see that churker and community ( us all ) will get ET client sources to fix and add what we need …
Also i dont get why it is useful to know in which etpro it was fixed , because everyone is using latest or has reason to use specific version…
ETPro isnt solution , it is NOT patch and it DOES change gameplay …( you can turn off those balances , and with all balanced teams there is getting less variousity and less fun … )
It is very off topic but ET still dont have people who can play it ( only Fraggers , xp raiders , newbies and so … )
I never played a game where it was played like how it was coded… I also have feeling that change in every mods that “improve gamplay” are useless if they arent major ( like Total conversions , of course not graphics conversions ) … Only fraggers need perfect hitboxes , hitsounds destroy all feeling , and enhanced hud doesnt make much diffirence ( normal is nicer and more comfortable , only problem that it “is covering too much place” ) , this game just need to reduce airstrikes which can be big problems…
Finaly I need to shut up , otherwise i will run into problems :nag: , I can already see crowds of fraggers trying to blame what I said : so this is off-topic , and only my look on game that I like so much …
Dont say anything play what you like , i am just 1 agains all other :wink: and I dont want to dont let you have fun from this …
Answer just for yourselfs : what is better - 100kills/5deaths - or having fireteam which can win whole campaign because great teamwork and sacrefice( getting worse stats by dying and so for team while it is needed) ?
Sorry for long , stupid and off-topic post , but today i can sleep better …

You are wrong.

Without the etpro team, there would have been no patch. It was their idea, they had to be lobby ATVI and id to be able to do it, and they put a months of work into coding it. So the suggestion that they did it to somehow sabotage etmain and other mods ludicrous.

It’s unfortunate that rather silly bug got past testing, but that happens in software development. No need for some BS conspiracy theory.

If I remember right, the bug is g_svcmds.c:Svcmd_Kick_f uses cl->ps.clientNum, which will be the client number of the person they are spectating. It should use the straight client number instead.

edit:
It has been quite a while since I looked at this, so you should double check before making changes. I thought this was already fixed in project bugfix and etpub, but I don’t see it at a quick glance.

Jaquboss, I’m not sure if it’s your unfamiliarity with English, or some other problem, but better to continue this on e-t.com forum than annoy people here
