Zandronum TDM League : Discussion

[Kara Kurt]

Yeah but HTG and Spacemarine were dropped out :/

Emmure does not appear to be aware that he has no partner actually. We need 2 volunteers.

[underbound]

Where are the servers at, best ever or grandvoid?

[BE] New York - zds://108.61.83.66:15051/st
BaseQ.fr - zds://94.23.10.12:10001/st
[UK] Grandvoid - zds://109.74.206.218:17170/st

In addition there is a UK Grandvoid tourney server as well as a practise one, with the same passwords.

[Kara Kurt]

Eh, didn't know.

Also, there's a problem with the force_respawn flag; when enabled, the player respawn instantly. We have to make it 2 seconds or so, I don't know how though.

So there is a grandvoid server? Cuz my partner is unable to play on best ever. So would I be able to pick GV even if it isnt close to me?

[Kara Kurt]

Yeah you can. But what country you and your partner are from? Would you guys prefer play on NJ?

[underbound]

Im in the U.S. and my partner is canada I think.

[Kara Kurt]

Good then.

Also for those still wondering why this have not started when it was supposed to before christmas, we've got an issue with the force respawn dmflag. When died, it make you respawn instantly.. and we prefer having a delay of 1-2 seconds at least. Hopefully we will fix it asap.

Sorry to have kept you waiting, just be a little more patient.

Stay around!

I can't remember ever changing the behavior of this flag...

[Ænima]

Maybe you accidentally also turned on the instant respawn compatflag?

[Kara Kurt]

Lol, I just checked it, and it was that.
I'm not the one who setted up the servers but I noticed that instant respawn was applied for all servers, then I thought so...

CompatFlags 524288 must be off and DmFlags 256 on, I guess.

[Nati46]

With the flags already set and servers up, the tourney has finally started!

You may now start your games (after comprehensively reading the rules, of course)

[Kara Kurt]

Since none is willing to start scheduling games yet, we're gonna have some public private TDM practices tonight (GMT +1) on BaseQ.fr Zandronum TDM Training. If you're interested just PM me for the password or go to #ztdm.

About the "fix" said by IdeIdoom :

People are complaining about force respawn , and the fact people cannot respawn below the 2 seconds limit.
So, what I did is to add another condition below the 2s limit, so that people can respawn below 2 seconds:

Of course, the following code is untested and THINK that it'll fix it, but still, here it is:

Code: Select all

		if (((( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_USE ) || ( ( player->userinfo.bRespawnonfire == true ) && ( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_ATTACK ) && (( player->oldbuttons & BT_ATTACK ) == false )))))
		{
			if ( ((( dmflags & DF_FORCE_RESPAWN ) && !(dmflags2 & DF2_NO_RESPAWN) ) && level.time >= player->respawn_time )
			|| player->respawn_time > level.time )
			{
				player->cls = NULL;		// Force a new class if the player is using a random class
				player->playerstate = ( ( NETWORK_GetState( ) != NETSTATE_SINGLE ) || (level.flags2 & LEVEL2_ALLOWRESPAWN)) ? PST_REBORN : PST_ENTER;
				if (player->mo->special1 > 2)
				{
					player->mo->special1 = 0;
				}
				// [BB] The player will be reborn, so take away one life, but only if the game is already in progress.
				if ( ( player->ulLivesLeft > 0 ) && GAMEMODE_IsGameInProgress ( ) )
				{
					PLAYER_SetLivesLeft ( player, player->ulLivesLeft - 1 );
				}
			}
	}

Of course, if that doesn't fix, well, try this in p_user.cpp , in line about 2884:

Code: Select all

	if ( player->respawn_time > level.time)
	{
		if (((( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_USE ) || ( ( player->userinfo.bRespawnonfire == true ) && ( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_ATTACK ) && (( player->oldbuttons & BT_ATTACK ) == false ))) || 
			(( deathmatch || teamgame || alwaysapplydmflags ) )))
		{
			player->cls = NULL;		// Force a new class if the player is using a random class
			player->playerstate = ( ( NETWORK_GetState( ) != NETSTATE_SINGLE ) || (level.flags2 & LEVEL2_ALLOWRESPAWN)) ? PST_REBORN : PST_ENTER;
			if (player->mo->special1 > 2)
			{
				player->mo->special1 = 0;
			}
			// [BB] The player will be reborn, so take away one life, but only if the game is already in progress.
			if ( ( player->ulLivesLeft > 0 ) && GAMEMODE_IsGameInProgress ( ) )
			{
				PLAYER_SetLivesLeft ( player, player->ulLivesLeft - 1 );
			}
		}
	}
	else if ( level.time >= player->respawn_time )
	{
		if (((( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_USE ) || ( ( player->userinfo.bRespawnonfire == true ) && ( player->cmd.ucmd.buttons & BT_ATTACK ) && (( player->oldbuttons & BT_ATTACK ) == false ))) || 
			(( deathmatch || teamgame || alwaysapplydmflags ) &&
			( dmflags & DF_FORCE_RESPAWN ))) && !(dmflags2 & DF2_NO_RESPAWN) )
		{
			player->cls = NULL;		// Force a new class if the player is using a random class
			player->playerstate = ( ( NETWORK_GetState( ) != NETSTATE_SINGLE ) || (level.flags2 & LEVEL2_ALLOWRESPAWN)) ? PST_REBORN : PST_ENTER;
			if (player->mo->special1 > 2)
			{
				player->mo->special1 = 0;
			}
			// [BB] The player will be reborn, so take away one life, but only if the game is already in progress.
			if ( ( player->ulLivesLeft > 0 ) && GAMEMODE_IsGameInProgress ( ) )
			{
				PLAYER_SetLivesLeft ( player, player->ulLivesLeft - 1 );
			}
		}
//		else if ( player->pSkullBot )
//		{
//			Printf( "WARNING! Bot %s dead and not hitting repawn in state %s!\n", player->userinfo.netname, player->pSkullBot->m_ScriptData.szStateName[player->pSkullBot->m_ScriptData.lCurrentStateIdx] );
//		}
	}

this is taking so long to start

[Combinebobnt]

It already started and a game was already played.

As for the code, please test it THOROUGHLY before you slap it on the servers.

If I'm posting here, it's not for nothing ; I'm myself a developper, so I know at least what I'm doing (also, lots of code looks like Q3A, so it's like my house) :)

Also, forcing spec_chat to off on MAP00, as people are complaining too, while remaking Zdaemon's "cvaroverride".

EDIT: Also, timelimit to 0 on map00.

[Kara Kurt]

Kudos for your helps/efforts Ch0wW and Hypnotoad. Mostly you!

People are complaining about force respawn , and the fact people cannot respawn below the 2 seconds limit.

As far as I remember the respawn handling in Zandronum is identical to how it was in Skulltag. And in Skulltag the respawn behavior hasn't changed for at least half a decade either. So how can people suddenly complain about things that have been like this for ages?
