Zm Rules v3.1

[Mad Maxx]

Phil, you were talking earlier about team killing with switches. I have seen many players on maps like Sorrento hit the switch in order to team kill other players. is it possible to have a rule that only Admins hit the buttons to maps like sorrento? wishful thinking I know, but unless we can see in script what players activate the switches that cause a team kill, admins are going to have a difficult time differentiating the perpetrators from others rushing through the door. I usually go through the replays to verify, but that process is long, tedious and not 100% accurate.

We cannot establish a rule stating "only admins can do 'x' action", that just wouldn't be fair. And some admins would also kill using the switch in sorrento.
My best bet to tell you is keep an eye out, warn before the start of round, and if someone does kill a teammate with the switch, then sit in spec. Follow everyone, and follow to that spot in free-mode and just keep on that 1 guy who is around the switch.

It can happen quickly, and that's why there is SourceTV. If it seems to tedious of a process, let me know the day/time and i'll take a look at the demo.

Understandable, and just to clarify it's not the process that is tedious, I am just not the fastest when it comes to the replays and by the time I find out who it is, when I return to the server the player left. Though I still keep tabs on who did in the event they try it again. I understand that as admins we have to ensure that server rules are followed.

You know we have the command to ban disconnected players. If their name is not on the list, you can always make a ban via sourcebans.

Wanna ask a question, we had this duscussion about ztele in voodoo and where people used the boat too early, can anyone canform ztele is forbidden in voodoo as human. because i see this happening while knowing in the past this was certainly not aloud.

The use if !ztele is allowed in the first island, as long as you are not escaping a zombie tag.

Hmmm i hope for anser of anex because I'm certain there where issue's with it. i know people got slayed in the past for doing so.

[phil.™]

I have spoken with anex with this, and with maynard, and with clan. It has been in discussion and we just await for it to be listed on the rules.
But, if anex wants to chime in on it for confirmation.

[Meltdown]

Ok it seems i was wrong, Sometime in the past i got warned but i guess it never was meant to be punishable. Well then i got my answer.

With voodoo, some of the barricades people construct make it difficult to get to the next island or boat in a timely fashion. For instance, in the 2nd floor room with the boxes and vendis that get stuffed in the stairs, people get stuck in objects all the time. Getting out of that room is difficult to do quickly. If everyone bound ztele to something there would never be a problem with the boat in the first place.
