Warning!

[I_Died_Once]

I was playing last ngiht and it dawned on me that we need a couple more warnings, and one warning changed a little.

Know how some servers will kick you for being idle for so long? Why not a warning "You got fifteen seconds to do SOMETHING or the server will kick you for in-activity" (of course, fine tune that message to something proper)

I know that when someone has GM, when they lock on you, a little message comes across where your other messages are. Thats not enough, and I'm surprised no one else has ever said this... Why not allow, if only as an option, for more of an alert when someone locks on to you? A new, unique, warning sound would be a good start. Plus, if the server could show it in much the same fashion it shows a negative flag, or a server countdown, that would be even better.

Just some thoughts.

Isn't there already a GM warning sound?

The idle kick warning would be a good idea, as would some other kick warnings (TK, spam, etc).

that would be a bit better. for a warning for idleness

This should do the trick

src/bzfs/bzfs.cxx

Code: Select all

static void doStuffOnPlayer(GameKeeper::Player &playerData)
{
  int p = playerData.getIndex();

  // kick idle players
  if (clOptions->idlekickthresh > 0) {
    if ((playerData.player.isTooMuchIdling(clOptions->idlekickthresh)) &&
       (!playerData.accessInfo.hasPerm(PlayerAccessInfo::antikick))) {
      char message[MessageLen]
   = "You were kicked because you were idle too long";
      sendMessage(ServerPlayer, p,  message);
      removePlayer(p, "idling");
      return;
    }
   else if((playerData.player.isTooMuchIdling(clOptions->idlekickthresh - 15) && !playerData.player.isIdleWarned()) &&
       (!playerData.accessInfo.hasPerm(PlayerAccessInfo::antikick))) {
sendMessage(ServerPlayer, p,  "You have less than fifteen seconds to do SOMETHING or the server will kick you for in-activity");
playerData.player.setIdleWarn(true);
} 
else if(!playerData.player.isTooMuchIdling(clOptions->idlekickthresh - 15) && playerData.player.isIdleWarned())
	playerData.player.setIdleWarn(false);
}

// Check authorization

src/game/PlayerInfo.cxx

Code: Select all

bool PlayerInfo::isIdleWarned()
{
    return idleWarned;
}

void PlayerInfo::setIdleWarn(bool a)
{
    idleWarned = a;
}

include/PlayerInfo.h

Code: Select all

In Public:
bool isIdleWarned();
void setIdleWarn(bool a);

In Private:
bool idleWarned;
