Problem found. Annoying. each time you load a new plugins (or newer version), all vars are deleted and reseted. So, i switch an internal var and all goes fine. Then fixed in v0.4.1 Quote * Restored post. It could be that the author is no longer active. Link to comment

Idle/AFK kicker. phogue.net/forum/viewtopic.php_f=13&t=713* I had time to form an answer to this ungrateful post. All events are triggered and followed (AFAIK) And as said HELIMAGNET I don't want to be kicked, nor do I want a message spamming me, "Hey, you better move or do something" when I am doing something!So, atm, only people who are dead will be kicked And finally the answer is : let time to time.

ImportBot Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Originally Posted by Flyswamper*: Hey man, I sincerely apologize if my post sounded ungrateful. I am VERY appreciative of the fact that you took the time to write this tool. Your response seems to indicate that you have designed it with much of the ideas mentioned. When I looked through the source code, it didn't appear to me that this was the case. As I said with my first comment.... I realized looking at the code that I am too old and rusty to be any good at this stuff. So....maybe just maybe I formed the wrong impression. Can you elaborate as to the logic that this idle kicker uses? If you are pissed at me and don't want to respond further, well....I suppose I'll understand. But if you step back for a moment and look at my post...it was not a personal attack. It was simply a judgement I formed by skimming through the source code. It sounds like maybe I formed an incorrect opinion due to my lack of understanding the code or not looking through it carefully enough. I'm more than happy to admit I was wrong about the logic employed...but it seems I need a little help finding/seeing it in your code (doesn't mean it isn't there...just that I didn't see it with a quick skim through) Regards, Quote * Restored post.

Something that I don't see in there that I've mentioned in prior posts (but probably not that particular thread referenced earlier) is.... It would be good to have logic such that when the player count is too low to kick players, *BUT* idle/AFK players are being detected.... that the code would force-switch the AFK/IDLE players such that they are evenly distributed amongst the teams. In essence, the tool would "balance" the AFK players until the server gets enough population then it would start getting rid of them. Just what I'm thinkin......... Quote * Restored post.

I undestand the clag-tag list. But I'm not sure how VIP and player lists are different. Can you clarify just a little how these are handled differently? They both seem to be just a player list to be excluded. I've got it turned on now and running on both our servers. Will provide feedback if I see anything unexpected... Again, many thanks.

They both seem to be just a player list to be excluded.At the moment, each lists are treated as equals (priority will be given later). Also, there is no huge difference between the VIPs list and the player list. The only difference is that you can keep some players or some VIPs when the server is full.You can use them as you wish.

ImportBot Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Originally Posted by Flyswamper*: Hey Myriades, We've ran into several instances where our clan tags are listed in the whitelist and yet someone that was camping our server with those clan tags got kicked. Can you think of what might cause this or is there something I can do for testing/reporting that would help? Also, with regard to player distribution... I/we have grown to really like the TrueBalancer plug-in that forces team balance by moving the last player to join the more populated team. Can you think of some way that this plugin and the TrueBalancer plugin could "work together" without stepping on each others toes? By that I mean..... ideal situation in logic would seem to be ... Step/Check #1) Kick idle players according to logic already in your code. Step/Check #2) Evenly distribute afk/idle players across teams.... irrespective of whether they last joined a team Step/Check #3) Use the truebalancer logic to even-out the active (non-afk) players Maybe I'm wrong (woudn't be the first time. ).... but I get the impression that if we try to use the balancing options in this plugin and the Truebalancer at the same time...we are likely to run into logic conflicts and problems...
