Rule for reconnecting

Post by fruitbowl 2 »

Hi community! I don't know if this concern the source servers. But in the 1.6 server, it happens pretty often that if a player dies in the beginning of the round, he reconnects to have a second chance in the round and then gets a little unfair advantage in my opinion. Like if I rush the enemy spawn and clear one floor (mostly in the Tspawn) he reconnects and then come after me and kill me pretty easy. It comes like a surprise since you always think you have cleared that area. I think that there should be a rule for this, or that you have to be in a team when the round starts so you have to wait for the next round if you reconnect. (I have seen this on other servers) :-)

I did not think this was an issue! Thank you for bringing this up - I have now added a plugin which will slay a player if he reconnects and spawns again! Please let me know if it causes any other problems!

Yes, I have only addressed the 1.6 server as of now. Is reconnecting a big problem on breakfloor too? Perhaps I can get rid of it there too!

It's not a big problem. People seem to be reconnecting because of their bad scores most of the times, losers.

Why not install a plugin which keeps your scores? I have seen this on some servers, though I do not know for how long they will remember you. What I mena is when you reconnect, your previous score is still present.
