Weapon hacks like minigun, HS and RPG are already getting autobanned...
Is this a recent fix? As of 3-4 days ago it wasn't banning for any of those or jetpacks that I could see (and I certainly saw those a lot
).
Teleporting will be a bit harder to detect, because it's getting a lot of false positives of people not sending updates fast enough due to lag or desync. So, I'm working on improving the AC, but I can't tell when it will be ready to start autobanning.
At least from my understanding, if they're respawning, you pretty much know that they're synced, so why not just check within the first 15/30 seconds or so after they spawn (and maybe only do it for a certain time after they were reported)?
Also, I thought of a few other things since I wrote the original that may or may not be reasonable (and might be resource-intensive enough to only check on reports): for armor hacking, checking to see if they are within a certain radius of an armor pickup when armor increases (health would be a pain in the ass because you'd have to account for vending machines); to catch stupid health hackers, set health to 90 or some non-full number after spawn protection ends, check to see if it goes to 100, then ban or immediately set it back to 100 if they weren't hacking it back up; for airbraking/teleporting/flying cars, checking height against MapAndreas (if the resource cost isn't too great).
- If the President is killed by a hacker and he is banned before the President can become President again, then the President/Vice President spots should be unlocked for the player.
You can request an admin to reset your timer in that case.
Yes, but that depends on an admin being in the server or on IRC, which, at the times that I play, isn't so often that this would happen (however, there is a large turnover of hackers fucking up gameplay, then getting banned by the AC).
/rc p doesn't check if you've been pres already, so you can use that to 'evade' the timer.
I think I should have been more clear- I was suggesting a way to vote to reset the timer so it is possible to take the Vice President spot again as well as the President spot. I often get really excited and /rc t when certain people are President, then they die prematurely. I'm probably not the only one who loves the challenge of certain Presidents and gets annoyed when they have to wait another 15 minutes before going again, during which time there is often a succession of morons who end up dying so quickly that the map changes to a map where the challenge President is uninterested in trying again.
... the "Don't repeat yourself" thing ...

- I guess the people who are at the class selection screen aren't allowed to talk because they could spam the chat with variations of "kil teh presi i wana be vp!!!!!!1", but it would be nice if players in the class selection screen were muted after a minute or so instead. It often gets in the way when maps are changing and you want to congratulate someone before it goes out of context.
It was added but then removed a short while later. It just looked very 'off' when you have people in with grey names chatting and it didn't really serve any purpose. Maybe a command would be a better idea?
Part of my problem with it, which I forgot to mention when writing my original post, is that it gives you the "must be spawned to chat" message when you try to chat between deaths. By command, do you mean a special command to chat from the class selection screen? If so, you could maybe use !, since they don't have a team.
Are you talking about this one?
Yep!
