[12:20] yep, someone(tm) would have to come up with a plugin for that [12:20] and plugins can crash the server [12:21] ts didn't you implement server side pause in trunk ? [12:22] catay: Yes, I did kind of [12:22] catay: Could have been better done but I didn't had the time for it [12:22] so , you can freeze all players at any time ? [12:23] catay: ah, you mean that kind of pause..that is something I didn't do [12:23] catay: I implemented a timer that checks that player doesn't pause too soon. [12:24] ah, i see [12:25] catay, ts, we want the unregistered people/ people not in the gu.league usergroup, to be able to only talk in teamchat [12:25] Would be cool tho if the server could pause all players :) [12:25] BUt they shouldn't be able to spawn [12:25] whodaman-: I know (and I think it's a stupid idea) [12:25] people in the gu.league group can spawn/talk eveywhere [12:25] ts, why's that? [12:26] it'd be quite practical. [12:26] whodaman-: It can crash the server and it'll be the same questions over and over again. I prefer a good servermessage explaining. If people can't read, why should I waste my time for them? [12:27] a good plugin rarely crashes the server [12:27] Exactly [12:27] I never had any crashes with my plugins when they are well tested [12:27] If all plugins would crash the server, nobody would use plugins :) [12:28] the 1vs1 plugin at 1vs1 league never caused any issues [12:28] catay: never? ;) [12:28] and it's used for quite some time now :) [12:28] ts, what if a newb joins, and misses the server message? You expect him to do shift+F3 ? [12:28] catay: The point is that they can crash. That particular kind of plugin suggest just doesn't offer much profit on the other side. [12:28] Manu: not that I recall :) [12:28] Direct communication has always been better than leaving some short directions [12:29] ts: the server without plugins can crash too :) [12:29] catay: true, but not due a plugin ;) [12:29] catay: Hehe, yes but less high chance [12:29] ts, Of course it does, you can have them talk in observer, ask questions, without disturbing the game. [12:29] If you're not in the mood to waste you're time, don't. [12:30] What kind of questions could they have? [12:31] "y can't I spawn on dis server" [12:31] 1st: How can I play [12:31] "how can I register" [12:31] "whats guleague?" [12:31] That's in the servermessage [12:31] Not really [12:31] and even so, what if you don't know what the servermessage is for, and you miss it? [12:31] well, I just said it's possible, not that it makes sense for GU to do it :) [12:32] Once again, _direct_ communication > leaving some directions [12:32] whodaman-: every thing is possible if someone implements it :) [12:32] sometimes it's a blessing some people can't talk :) [12:32] Manu, Constitution and I were just testing a beta. [12:32] whodaman-: I don't feel the need of it ;) [12:32] Manu: Show me comparision based sorting faster than nlogn :) [12:33] I don't like those restrictives thingies [12:33] catay, if we don't want the GU league to end like pb or duc, then you have to talk [12:33] whodaman-: I consider two important things, one is the freedom, and second is the education [12:34] I doubt that's the reason why pb/duc are not really active [12:34] There's always a reason ;) [12:34] activity on ducati is not a recent problem [12:34] it is there already for 2 years [12:35] a lot of people tried to make the leagues more attractive but in the end it are the players that have to do it [12:35] it has nothing to do with restrictions imho [12:36] meh, I'd like to give new people a chance to ask questions [12:36] a lot of oldschool duc players stopped playing [12:36] But I guess others would just like to give them the good old -srvmsg
