improvement: map chooser should ignore all [wb] players with ping 0

**zibalatz** · 12-24-2004, 03:58 AM

When the map chooser chooses a map based on the current number of players on the server, it should ignore all bots. If there is no programmatic method to detect bots they might be identifiable as all players whose name begins with the prefix [wb] and (might have to take into account duplicate names, i can't remember if it does "(1)[wb]It" or "[wb]It(1)") and who have a ping of 0.

There is a way to programmatically determine which players are bots and which are not.

Again, nextmap I didn't write, but I wouldn't mind making this "correction" to the plugin's design and implementation.

I'll try to get around to this.
