I would really like to know...

i think the best use of gravity can be with the consent of the players. after all, it's them playing, and they outnumber me. having admin is only fun if their experience in the server is better, or at least not worse, because of me or other admins.

if we want to be strict and to the point about it, no, we don't need the means to set gravity. obviously, evil went a little overboard, lol...and restricting to upper level and clan could also work.

but as i said earlier, we successfully used it in gungame without problems, and when players protested, I immediately restored the normal level. used in that fashion, i think it's cool and can be useful for fun servers. out of hand, like some people (lol evil ) it gets crazy. hehe.

whatever you like zero. heh.

Link is correct. I have been going overboard with this command. I would just get excited too much. It would only happen for like 10 secs though, then I would put it back. I won't abuse anymore. I just like to spice things up a bit, but I do take it overboard...

[BladeTwinSwords]

Possibly. BUT if you want to have fun by jeopardizing the server stability, then you should not have admin. (No, cabaret for naked strippers doesn't count).

I asked you if you did it in ZM yesterday too Evil (When me and you were the only admins on.) and you just ignored me, which in then caused me to restart the map 3 times looking for a glitch in case some coding was messed up after Zero just got done with the rcon link.... The gravity RCON is not a damn toy. It has been know many times to cause physics / prop errors.

Rarely after certain maps (deathstar) gravity does screw up on ZM, so it is kind of needed.

Or.... remove the function from abusing admins atm. It will take less of Zero's time and decent admins can still use it if needed.

Later on Zero can just give it to high ranking admins?

I would suggest the same with parachutes, they can be nasty also...

And Evil, that's what voting is for. I know I was pissed yesterday after just building my cade near CT spawn in highschool and jumped and dropped dead without know shit going on. That spot is a bitch to set with the spawn time and idiots running by.

I didn't see any messages towards me. Sorry for not replying. Also, I never knew gravity can mess up the servers, I have never seen the server get really messed up because of that.

fucking with the gravity has ALWAYS been a no no in this community. it fucks the stability of the server, can crash it and pisses the masses off. most people who play on our servers play seriously and care about their physco stats and server rank. when you change the gravity you completely fuck with everyone. there's literally no reason any 1 should be fucking with it. admin commands are there 2 help you administrate the server, not for you 2 play with cause you're bored or excited.

I can also program a min and max value for it to make it impossible to do this...

What values would u all like?

[maynard]

for WCS it should be locked. there's no point and or time that it should be messed with on WCS given it would screw with the racial balance of the server. some races get lower gravity, and the majority of the races don't. so screwing with it on WCS would just screw with game play and as most people take WCS fairly serious and want the money so they can buy more xp, it would make sense 2 not allow gravity changes on wcs.

High gravity should be like 1100, low gravity should be 500.

On GG it can be 400, 1600. Pub can be the same way since jumping and fall damage aren't high priorities.

WCS should lile maymay said, be locked.

Also evil, I heard from alex that you were disarming humans to tag them. I also do not want you switching your teams to either avoid getting tagged or to scare people.

[Steamer]

I honestly don't see a need to set a min / max. Admins should not screw with it unless needed.

As maynard said, WCS should be a strict no no on messing with gravity. It is 100% fact it will screw with races and such.

Voting should be the only scenario to where it should be used in GG or ZM to make things fun. Even then it can cause stability issues and may have to be followed by a rcon_restart.
