Thread: Insane's working list of main LS Issues/Bugs

-LS Ping Kicker never worked outside of testing
-Once Extend limit is reached the Extend option doesn't work until server reset. (Limit doesn't reset on map change)
-Move Player to Spec is no longer in admin menu since the menu re-design (Action still works through chat commands)
-Admin messages and Ads are not colored in DoD chat box. (Any color)
-No "Map will change in 10 seconds" delay when map is changed via a single map vote.
-No Single Nextmap Vote
-Bug in "say Nextmap" system not always being correct
-Slay crashes server
-Mute does not include Voiceover commands
-Server sometimes stops displaying vote status. (Middle/bottom of screen)

Imisnew2 and I are going to work on troubleshooting all of these bugs

BUG FIXED

The Bug:
Once Extend limit is reached, the Extend option doesn't work until server reset.

The Fix:
The variable "_extendCounter" is never reset to 0.
you only have to add one line of code:

map_voting.py

Code:

 def _mapStarted(self, mapName):
        if modinfo.modName != "left4dead" and modinfo.modName != "left4dead2":
            sdk.task_schedule(self._registerNextMapTimer, 30.0)
        self._totalRounds = 0
        self._extendCounter = 0
        for team in teamManager.getTeams():
            team.data[_KEY_ROUND_WINS] = 0
        self._watchRoundLimits = True
        self.rtvState = RTV_STATE_DELAY
        sdk.task_schedule(self._handleRtvAllowed, rtv_minimumMapTime.floatValue * 60.0)
        self.rtvVoters = set()
        self.nominations = []

BUG FIXED

The Bug:
LS Ping Kicker never worked outside of testing

The Fix:
The variable "latency" is 1/1000 of the real ping. You must multiply the variable by 1000 to get the real ping of the player.
you only have to add 6 characters to the end of one line of code:

ping_kicker.py

Code:

def checkPings():
    if not cvar_enabled.boolValue:
        return
    maxPing = cvar_max_ping.intValue
    violationLimit = cvar_violation_limit.intValue
    gameTime = sdk.getCurrentTime()
    for player in playerManager.filterPlayers(inGamePersonFilter):
        if player.data[PDATA_PING_KICKER_GRACE] >= gameTime:
            continue
        latency = sum(sdk.getPlayerAverageLatency(player.eindex)) * 1000
        if latency > maxPing:
            violations = player.data[PDATA_PING_KICKER_VIOLATIONS] + 1
            if violations >= violationLimit:
                server.kick(player, "Ping too high")
                continue
            player.data[PDATA_PING_KICKER_VIOLATIONS] = violations
    return cvar_frequency.floatValue

Good work tonight imisnew2, We make a good troubleshooting team.

It stopped (Nextmap vote didn't show progress status) today 8/1 at 12:47am Central, Ewok you can check the logs and see if you can find any clues.

Both of the above fixes are now checked in

if slay is crashing the server, the scanners probably faulted, sig scanning time!

edit, what function were you calling? Player Suicide?

-Admin messages and Ads are not colored in DoD chat box. (Any color)

Could be different text/color channels for dod than the others.

Hooking player suicide is actually vtable offset based, but there's something odd about dod. It works for all mods but dod, even though I have both the same vtable offset and function signature that sourcemod is using for dod.

Regarding text colors, mods have to implement that via the game message "SayText2". DoD didn't implement while tf2 did.

I want to get back to working on these (most notably the move to player spec thingy) when I can.
I've just been so busy lately... with quake-con and all.

no problem. I've been finding more time again to work on this stuff, and I want to start committing to regular releases (say every Monday) so I'd welcome to help to make stuff better on a regular basis
