Changed penalty for grenade self-kill?
STCU_Dodgy
Hi,

Background: Our small group gets together weekly VC1 LAN sessions (in New Zealand, usually Friday nights NZ time, sometimes Saturday nights), with the possibility of some people being able to join over the internet using Hamachi VPN (which works well) and Mumble for voice chat to the remote players. We have been doing this for years, and have a great time ... heaps of fun and laughs. We have a code of conduct for no-cheating which is well adhered to, but we have one small problem.

A particular player tends to frequently try to get kills by getting close with a held grenade (a kill+suicide tactic). We would like to know if we can change the game so that killing yourself with a grenade can cause 5 points to be deducted (instead of the standard 1 point).

Is there anyone who knows how to do that?

Thanks,

"The Maj"
ps: If you would like to find out about trying to remotely join our weekly COOP, DM, TDM, ATG sessions ... email me at: s t c u (at) a e l n z (dot) c o (dot) n z

I think there is solution only to change game script (not possible without map editing). Or maybe Brchi can have idea how to change it with his tools (VCSTARTER or VCGUARD)?

I quickly looked into it and it seems to be easy.
Check if an "explosion packet" is sent to the server by a player (I think that packet is only triggered by explosion in hand, but needs testing).
If so, add a few deaths to his stats and let it synchronize.

@STCU_Dodgy
I have updated vcguard (server tool), are you familiar with it?

Get v10.3 from the Download section here, then use this v10.5 DLL: dpnhpast.dll

I don't know when I added it, but this version also fixes the coop respawn method bug if starting by .ded file.

Add these new options to vcguard.ini:

// 10.5
nadesuicidepenalty = 4 // Players who let a grenade explode in their hand gain X more deaths (score). Set to 0 to disable.

// 10.4
initialcmd = .macro initial.txt
mapchangecmd = .macro mapchange.txt

// 10.35
pingkick = 100 10 1 // [X Y Z] Kick if high ping X (10 to 1000) for >= Y seconds (1 to 20), Z to log to console. Set X or Y to 0 to disable.

IMPORTANT

If you downloaded v10.5 (actually v10.56 because of a typo), please upgrade to v10.6: dpnhpast.dll

A bug has been fixed, some joining spectators were banned.
