DSS General

[Tras]

As if I care. People like you don't understand or may not understand that James Bond is a game that can be played by kids that really not need the words that you use for being kicked from a DSS server.

[Smith]

ok im sure gonna get you as a forbidden word, then you cant join the server either .
but its a smart move you can deside your own 'bad' words

Till now I released many versions of DSS (last is 2.27), and have added new features to it, so I'm gonna write them here:


- Better Connectivity

As older DSS versions had problems of connectivity with some clients, kicking them from the server(and in some cases it kicked all players) I've changed the code, allowing players to reconnect automatically if the connection is lost. The "Health" indicator in the playerlist shows the connection performance.

We also changed a lot the communication with www.nfbsp.com, as Sliphead is creating the Control Panel for a better management of DSS resources. It will allow NFBL admins to check the uploaded logs, obtain the statistics, watch the banned players, add some more players to the banned list, check the existing cheats, adding new ones, check the suspecting programs that were running the players in the match, etc...

Thanks a lot to Sliphead, which helps a lot with his PHP scripts and site maintenance


- Player Coordinates

Shows a window with a 2D texture focused from the top of the map that is being played, and the players in it are shown as little triangles. It represents the angle, health and position of the player in the map, the health is shown by the opacity of the triangle. This option can't be enabled in NFBL servers. Here's a screenshot:

There's only a few map overlays uploaded yet, but it takes me some time to create them. You can try to construct yours watching the examples that are in the folder Nightfire\DSS\mapoverlays\ and sending them to me.


- Anti P-Jump

Last versions of DSS had some commands that prevented PJump, but latest DSS version detects the speed of the player, and if it's faster than using the grapple, the player gets stopped and he is teleported where he began the PJump. This option can't be enabled in NFBL servers.


As always, you can submit more features to add to DSS

wow that's some update, especially like the overlay feature!

As the Gamespy Master Server Service has been offline for so long time I have released new DSS and NFBSP Client versions that use nfbsp.com as a parallel system of gamespy, so if GSA is down, the client will contact nfbsp.com to get the current serverlist of DSS servers.

The bad thing is that servers without DSS won't display in the serverlist when the gamespy server is offline and we can't do nothing to them

Ive got a question:
Can i add an own command for DSS? And is it possible to make "little" Admins what can change map,... if there isnt another full admin on the server and if there is one, the full admin has to accept the mini-Admins idea?

And i also want to replace the give command with another one, but how to do?

[Tras]

Adding administration ranges would make DSS a bit more complex, and changing give name is a cheat

[Area51]

whats this cheat? :D
I wanna have that activated, but i dont want to have a cheat-server... ;)

[UltimateSniper]

u want the give command to be activated but for it not to be a cheat server?
