Warn a player before a pingkick

[Bonecrusher]

At this moment whenever players ping is over the limit he will not see a single warning message until the last second when it shows him 'Major was has been kicked and banned for 15 minutes (Ping Kick)'. On the other hand
the server's console is continuously displaying  'Major gets a ping warning' messages. However the major in the game has no idea he is about to get pingkicked. My solution is simple, add a server message which displays server alert before the player gets pingkicked.. It may look like this: 'Your ping is too high, you have x ping alerts left until you get kicked.''

This is a good idea.


But please make sure that only the relevant player gets these messages tho. That's very important. As we want to avoid clutter in the chat console.

Btw: this was also posted in the bugtracker. Here is the ticket: http://bugs.soldat.pl/view.php?id=265

good one, "You received a ping warning" would be enough though, repeated each time the server makes a warning

What about the message: Turn off your torrents or ban.

I honestly think that would work too hahahaha

just joking though,



But yes its indeed a good idea right now you have no clue if your going to be kicked or not.

That's nice but I'd see the number of warnings left aswell. So:
"You received a ping warning, x out of y max warnings.
y = Max_Ping_Warnings parameter from soldat.ini

It's not that simple. Afaik your ping warnings counter decreases in time.

Don't forget about the translations. The message would have to be displayed in the language of the player.

invalid reason, I could allways get the translators

By the way, what do you mean by ''your ping warnings counter decreases in time.''

I mean that if your ping is like ~4000 and then it's normal again for some time, then you won't be kicked out once it spikes to 1000 for a milisecond.

I know but it's not like probably most people thought: just send some text to the client - instead you have to send a special message which the client then displays translated.

I closed the mantis ticket for this as it's a suggestion and not a bug, but you can continue to discuss here.

[Bonecrusher]

Players getting kicked without a notice has to be a bug imo

[Akinaro]

well player have this nice dot that change it size depending on ping, it should be sufficient information about: "hey my ping suck, probably i'm gonna be kicked! yeah!"
