Max Lives enforcement problem

(FallenMatt) #1

I’ve run itno this silly problem

when i am on a server with max lives enabled and i quit and then relogin it will kick me out with “max lives temp ban enforced” … or something like that

this is logical, BUT
it does this also if i quit during warm up
what’s up with that ???

I run into this problem quite often because my ET freezes on me quite a lot (see linux client bugs thread) and i have to relogin.

Shouldn’t be the max life enforcement disabled for warm up stage ?

This is what happened to me today:

i connect to the server with max lives enabled
i look around for a while hoping somebody conencts (empty server)
then i quit (it is still warmup, no game started), an HOUR LATER i check the server list and see somebody is on it
but i can’t connect anymore because of the max lives enforcement.

with one player you can’t even start a match so i am pretty sure i won’t be able to connect to it unless at least two players login, they start the match, they let the mach run the whole 30 minutes (or till allies win)

sigh

I cant see why its necessary to have it at all anyway, when you can use:
match_latejoin 0
g_noTeamSwitching 1

tho i happily admit i dont play limited life servers so am pretty n00b about the setup etc.

there’s also g_enforcemaxlives but i forgot what that does :confused:

… maybe :slight_smile:

i’ve never run dedicated servers, just like to play :smiley:

so basically… it is a server config thingy and can be fixed ?
being locked out from a server for “no reason” is really annoying…
