need help testing plugin(s) this weekend

I need help testing this weekend. My schedule isn't nailed down, but I hope to start later tonight sometime.

If you'd like to help, please idle in Teamspeak (HL Engine channel) for as much of this weekend as you're able.

You'll learn what we're testing when we begin (I don't know yet), but understand that it's bug fixes, not new features, that I'm testing.

Many thanks to those who help out.

Re: need help testing plugin(s) this weekend

How about that bug wherein I die when I'm not supposed to (usually in a humiliating fashion)?

I'll be glad to donate some of my time this weekend

I believe I am a victim of that bug 9 out of every 10 times I encounter a skulk.

Re: need help testing plugin(s) this weekend

The testing went great Friday night, and I'm very grateful to everyone who helped out. Everything finally worked just fine.

The two changes were to teamsnotify and resreturn. Both now perform their duties when players timeout (as opposed to cleanly disconnecting).

Re: need help testing plugin(s) this weekend

Did the plugin that delays team-joining by non-SMs get modified / removed? I saw ?'s joining teams as soon as the map loaded last night. It could be a residual from /captains?

That was disabled, for about 24 hours, to see if it was somehow to blame for folks constantly getting Steam'd.

It's again enabled, as the effect continued after the restriction was disabled.

Re: need help testing plugin(s) this weekend

They're disabled temporarily while I'm testing to see if it lessens the Steam'd effect.

I don't mind testing but I do not approve of an overuse of plugins in a server. It detracts from original NS gameplay. Giving admins too much power is just asking for trouble as well. For example: slapping some one around is all fun in games until each admin has to go through the "rough playing" spread out over a few days. I know TG is better than that, but even in the most prominent of other servers there has been problems.

One of the core tenets of our coding is that we not affect core gameplay without a really spectacular reason. The list of plugins we're running is available on the tacticalwiki.

Plus, all these plugins might cause cancer in gorges.
