Entering Multiple Commands at Once
« on: May 22, 2009, 10:18:04 pm »
This is pretty much self explanatory: can we have the ability to enter a command multiple times on one [enter] ? So you could add 30 bots by typing for example

/addbot john x30

The Good
~ quicker to change things like adding bots
~ pretty much it

The Bad
~ spam?

I don't see much point to this because
 1) It doesn't add anything of importance to soldat
 2) Can be scripted (before anyone says anything about this, if you can't script then ask one of the friendly scripters to make it for you in a PM...I'm sure someone would help out if you asked them nicely)

Just don't see much need for it...

And as the lyrics go in the United State's national anthem: "America, f**k YEAH!".

Adding bots, eg zombies. I haven't hosted a zombie game so I'm just thinking aloud.

You can write a server script that adds however many bots you want at once, making this sort of feature unnecessary.

Furthermore, what happens if someone finds out your adminlog password, logs in, and does /addbot John x500 ? He'd kill your server and possibly majorly slow down the computer it's hosted on.

Write once /addbot <zombiename> and then press // and enter as you want.

Niko that's what I've been doing but this could be used. However the poll (again) tells it all.

use an script... if you have a zombie server and want to spawn all zombies when the server loads (so you haven't got to do it manually) I could make that tiny script for you.

Doesn't sound like much of a great idea. F11

// is good enough. Like you said your idea could be used to spam (sending /say messages 30 times isn't fun) and do other harmful flooding stuff.
Serverscripting allows you to add this feature if you really need it. But I haven't seen any script for that sofar - seems not to be a must have feature.
I don't think it's necessary.
