how do server admins see player class?


(tjw) #1

As far as I can tell, it is impossible for an admin to see what class a player is using.

Is there some rcon command that I’m missing, or is it only possible for the client to see this information?

I would think that this information would be at the very least available in the ‘dumpuser’ output. ‘status’ only reports the user’s Name, XP, Ping, and IP Address.

Its in the logfiles but as a number in the ClientUserChangeInfo line. When you are on playing I don’t know never matter to me when I’m playing

Yeah and I could see an public server admin. or referee wanting to see the class info. of the teams. (for balancing)
And i know I used /classes many times as a player to tell me what my team consisted of. (yes , /classes was shrub)

any spectator can see class numbers by selecting axis/allies in limbo screen, and when spectating in first person you can see classes of all players on that player’s team by looking at the scorescreen.

He said admin - and most servers run via console i.e. dedicated - so the server machine has no game view - just a console log.

In RTCW when ppl changed classes you could see the global request to change player model - but there was no listing i know of - like that in the scoresheet . soz

Awol already commented on it for the console view.

I gather most admins, like myself, consider adminning to involve more than looking at the console output.

The cvar ‘sessionX’ holds session data for a player with slot number X. The 5th integer in this string is the Class. 0 - Soldier, 1 - Medic, 2 - Engineer, 3 - FieldOps, 4 - CovertOps.

The trouble with this is the session* cvars only update when the map is started. Does anyone know of a way to keep these session cvars in sync with the game, or a command to refresh them during the game?

I’m trying to make a web interface for referee’ing, and Class would be quite useful.
