[MUTATOR] AntiTK — protects players from teamkillers

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

well.. i can't ban his IP... it's as random as the wingdings of my sister

i'll try to ban him somehow else.. possibly by something like IP to DNS and banning a static part of the DNS

[jesus]

ok well we just tested it again nd the damage u cause to ur team m8 goes to u now so

[Dae]

Update: MMAntiTK105

• A new variable has been added - VictimExplosionReduction. It controls a reduction of explosion damage given to a team mate. In another words your LAMs and LAWs will make less damage to your team mate. This may be helpful for small maps.
  In config: VictimExplosionReduction=0.5 means 50% of explosion damage will be reduced.
• A server admin may now disable the vision effect given by a poison dart of a team mate (it's also useful for servers where there is no team damage, but crossbow is allowed. Some bozos like to use this weapon just to affect teammate's vision). Note that the mutator removes only vision effect, but not the actual damage.
  In config: bNoPoisonVisionEffect=True means that the vision effect will be removed.
• A public message of banning is now in red color (the color is changeable).
• Defaults have been changed.
• A bug of IPPolicies[0] has been fixed.

Fresh installation of the mod: do as it says in the first message, just change 100 to 105 where needed. So you will need to add this line

Code: Select all

ServerActors=MMAntiTK105.AntiTKMutator

instead of old one with "100".

Updating the mod.

* is any version of the mod!

1. Extract files (of course lol)
2. Delete MMAntiTK*.u and MMAntiTK*.ini
3. Open DeusEx.ini
4. Find
   

   Code: Select all

   ServerActors=MMAntiTK*.AntiTKMutator

5. Replace with
   

   Code: Select all

   ServerActors=MMAntiTK105.AntiTKMutator

6. Open Mutators.ini
7. Find

   Code: Select all

   [MMAntiTK*.AntiTKMutator]

8. Replace with

   Code: Select all

   [MMAntiTK105.AntiTKMutator]

9. Add after (or somewhere inside that block of variables):
   

   Code: Select all

   bNoPoisonVisionEffect=True
VictimExplosionReduction=0.500000

10. Save/close all files.

Thanks to Derek for idea of removing poison effect.
Thanks to Jesus and Derek for testing the new features.

Just tried adding v105 to my server and it crashed (from the in-game server config menu) with the following:

Any thoughts on what's causing this? (Missing dependency, pebkac, ...?)

Thanks,

[rjjb]

Seems like it was activated twice (once in the deusex.ini and once in the miniMTL mutator selection page in the server setup).

When I disabled it in the mutator selection page, the server didn't crash and the anti-tk code was still working. Found this out by running a deathmatch and noticed that I was taking damage by killing people.

Kill people in a deathmatch with this activated and you get banned.. lol

Any way to modify this so that it can be left on regardless of whether you're in a deathmatch or team game? (ie: make people in a deathmatch join as their own team, or disable it for non team gametypes)

Other than the minor deathmatch issue it looks like a great mod.

[Dae]

Thanks for reporting a deathmatch bug.

I'm working on new release.
Thanks to Jon for good suggestions.

[Jon]

Can't wait until the next version... should finally shut up complaints about the excessive amount of session bans

[Dae]

There is a big problem with the upcoming version of the mutator. I have discovered that in Deus Ex mutators don't have any access to the talking functions unlike in UT, when coders can work with MutatorTeamMessage, MutatorBroadcastMessage, MutatorBroadcastLocalizedMessage functions. Therefore I'm forced to deal with HUD

[jesus]

but ur makeing progress?

[Dae]

Almost done

[jesus]

yey let me know if yea need anything else

[Dae]

Update: MMAntiTK110

• The new variable has been added: bAskVictim which is true (on) by default. It's a serious implementation and this is why I marked this release as 1.1.0 (the last one was 1.0.5).
  In case when bAskVictim is true, when someone gets killed by his or her team mate, he or she (victim) gets a small popup message asking whether the team kill was a deliberate act:
  
  So now it is up to victim whether to punish the team killer or not. Punishment as usually is a warning.
• The mutator now disables itself in deathmatch. It will enable itself automatically as soon as you just change the gametype to Team Deathmatch.
• All messages are now in red color (the color is changeable).

Fresh installation of the mod: do as it says in the first message, just change 100 to 110 where needed. So you will need to add this line

Code: Select all

ServerActors=MMAntiTK110.AntiTKMutator

instead of old one with "100".
Important: you need to add this mutator to ServerPackages too. Basically, all you need is to add this line:

Code: Select all

ServerPackages=MMAntiTK110

after "ServerActors" code.

Of course, use the package below, not the one from the first post.

Updating the mod.

* is any older version of the mod!

1. Delete all the files which contain MMAntiTK* in their names.
2. Extract files from the new archive.
3. Open DeusEx.ini
4. Find
   

   Code: Select all

   ServerActors=MMAntiTK*.AntiTKMutator

5. Replace with
   

   Code: Select all

   ServerActors=MMAntiTK110.AntiTKMutator

6. Add after that:
   

   Code: Select all

   ServerPackages=MMAntiTK110

7. Open Mutators.ini
8. Find

   Code: Select all

   [MMAntiTK*.AntiTKMutator]

9. Replace with

   Code: Select all

   [MMAntiTK110.AntiTKMutator]

10. Add after (or somewhere inside that block of variables):
    

    Code: Select all

    bAskVictim=True

11. Set bAskVictim to False if you don't want victims to decide whether to give a team killer a warning or not.
12. Save/close all files.

Thanks to rjjb for reporting a deathmatch issue.
Thanks to Jon for a great idea of this window and rephrasing my RusEnglish sentences. About asking - it is entirely his idea
Thanks to Smuggler (author of DXMTL and many other mods) for those genios "walk-arounds" in his scripts! I couldn't have invented that by myself.
Thanks to Jon, Ice, Klop, Jesus, [A]lex, Derek aka Cataclyzm and Bobo for the boring work called testing. This release wouldn't have happened without your help, guys
Thanks to everyone who <s>still</s> host the mod

[ICE]

yea it was fun testing and funny punishing dea and then getting him banned on his own server. keep up the good work (modz)

[Dae]

Oh, forgot to say: note that the source code wasn't protected. But unless you're a advanced scripter i wouldn't recommend raping your own brains with it - even I don't understand some lines in it sometimes

[Allan]

Wow, that's a great improvement =D. At least fr00bs can be punished now, without accidental bannings. One thing though, what would happen if you die while the screen is up?

[Spiderbot01]

lol anyone who tks me on the DXMS server just gets kicked anyway.. Nazi admining FTW..
