Well how did i read over this.
I just saw that sv_forcelogin exists. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having an optional account system? If everyone chooses to force it, the optional part will be redundant.

It will be probably used for private servers (PrivCTF) that rank stats and everything.

I have to admit that I mostly used GAMEEVENT_PLAYERFRAGS as proof of concept to see wether the EVENT approach is feasible to implement. If DEATH scripts can do everything GAMEEVENT_PLAYERFRAGS can do and more, there is no real reason to keep GAMEEVENT_PLAYERFRAGS around, but IIRC the DEATH script approach has problems with indirect frags. GAMEEVENT_PLAYERFRAGS shouldn't have those.

It would probably be better if the events got batched up into one call (eg. an SSG blast only sends one damage event per monster hit, rather than one per pellet), rather than every single projectile, explosion, hitscan, etc getting its own event.
We have started to discuss damage events in a tracker ticket. Let's continue the discussing about how to improve the EVENT scipts there.

No. One of my main principles has always been that server admins ought to have the last word on what happens on their servers. Controlling who is allowed to play on your server and who is not, is even one of the most fundamental things a server admin should be able to decide.

So are we able to create accounts yet? Because I'd love to get working on this.

AlexMax made a lot of progress with charonauth, so if you don't mind running your own account server, you can do this once the next beta build is released (which should be soon).
