Issues with the auto-kicker?

I was playing last night, between 10 and 11 PM, and noticed that 5-6 people on our team were not squadded up and, during the course of the round, no auto-kicker warnings came up to let them know that squadding up is mandatory. I've also noticed in the past that it seems to be a bit slow knocking player levels back down to 50 so that SMs can join (I've had four occasions now where I was unable to join because there were 52 people in game, and at least two of those events resulted in me waiting 3-5 minutes before I could even get in). I'm not sure if these problems have been reported, or if they're even problems, but I figured I'd bring them to the attention of the wonderful staff here.

Thanks!

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

I had this come up a few days ago as well. Forgot to join a squad an I noticed I had not been kicked even though a while had past. Does get mildly annoying when SM can't get in the server. I remember that this problem had come up before were the auto-kicker stopped functioning for a short period of time. Someone looked into it and fixed it then posted that it had been resolved.

EDIT - Dang sc1ence and his speedy typing sk1llz.

Happens to me every now and then, but just spam the join button and you'll get on the server within two mins tops probably.

Thank you, sir. It was nice to see you in game this evening (late Monday night), and I apologize for any problems I may have caused pointing out campers in our UCB during a particularly intense match.

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

Actually Vortex, I think correcting the play-style in our servers is the highest priority. I'm not an admin, but I think you become an admin because you realize this. The TG community isn't one that power hungry players find all that appetizing, and none of us have any illusions about the extra workload that comes with power.

Peter Parker's dad said something about how with power comes responsibility. Here it's the opposite: with responsibility comes power.

Depends on the time and what map is running. Last night I logged on around 7:30 pm cst and the map rotation was on Belgrade and I got the server full message for about ten minutes. I played single player mode for a bit to practice the gunship before logging back in to multiplayer and noticed the map rotation was on Verdun and was finally able to join. Not being able to join defibitely gets frustrating but I know the admins will have it resolved in due time so there's no point making a big deal about it especially if they are aware of the issue.

Indeed, and I respect and admire the admins a great deal for the hard work they put in towards keeping the servers running and making it a great experience for everyone.

The only intent of this post was to bring to their attention a problem I had noticed. If that's not supposed to be done, then I humbly stand corrected.

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

We are still working on this. for the time being, I and other admins are trying to perform the duties of the scripts. If you are unable to join and are a SM, hop on to teamspeak and see if an admin can make room for you. Also, reporting players for ucb camping etc is what we want players to do. don't ever feel you are imposing. it makes the server a better place.

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

Ive been on the TS sever, there are alot of channels and I do see admins, but there are usually no admins on the BF2142 channel. Are we to contact admins outside of the TS BF2142 channel?

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

It would be nice if and admin could add this (or create a new) thread as a sticky - just to keep us updated.

It addition to the fantastic TG game-play, this script is one of the main reasons I'm a supporting member. Quite often I only have time for a quick game, and while I've never had to wait long for a spot, once you have tasted how well the script works(d), you get get tired of clicking that join button along with all the other pubbies dying to get into the TG server. The squad-less auto-kick was also a great way to keep the smacktards out.

I appreciate all the hard work that goes into something this complicated - keep it up and keep us posted.

Thanks,
-Vladd

Re: Issues with the auto-kicker?

The issue should be corrected now. I am assuming we are talking about the 2142 conquest server?

astrozombie: Yes, feel free to contact BF admins outside the 2142 channel. I spend much time in the Armed Assault channel so don't be afrtaid to contact me there.
