[TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

This plugin is the result of a conversation between a couple of clanmates and myself one night after a mass exodus of players from our server. It will print a message to the screen, and play an announcement when it detects one or more rage quits.

Important:
If you are running a pure server, then you will need to add the following line to your pure_server_whitelist.txt file. Otherwise, the announcement sounds will not play.

Plugin coding and announcements by Crispy
Special thanks to Code Echo and Sugar for the great ideas.

Notes:
The announcements don't sound exactly like those in Unreal Tournament.

Changelog:

• 1.0.0

• Player's team, frags, and deaths are now queried on player death instead of on disconnect. This should get rid of the errors that have been reported.
• The check for a player disconnecting with less than 30 seconds left in the round is disabled during the setup phase

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

how is this determining execution? set number of disconnects based on time?

only the players left ingame get to hear it though, right? The RQers go away w/o any knowledge.

this is funny

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

I was wondering how it would determine who is "rage quiting" as well...

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

looks like it looks at how many people are dominating the client, and if he has a crappy k/d ratio

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

The criteria I use to determine if a player disconnect is a rage quit is based on a number of assumptions which aren't entirely accurate, but it's all in good fun. The checks that are made to determine a rage quit break down like this:

• End of Round (and 60 sec thereafter)
  1. Player was on losing team
• Round will end in 30 sec or less
  1. Any player disconnects
• Any other time during the round
  1. Player's K/D ratio < 0.1
  2. Player was dominated by more than 2 players
  3. Player was on the losing team for the previous two or more rounds
  4. Opposing team total frags is three times more than that of player's team

Spectators and disconnect reasons other than "Disconnect by user" are not counted.

That's correct. As far as I know there is no way to interact with a client after receiving the "player_disconnect" event.

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

Great breakdown. Thanks for that. So I'll give it a go.

and... *pound sand* to those RQers that don't get interacted with... lol :P

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

Seems to work. We've only heard the Rage Quit soundbyte. None of the others though. Are the other sound files actually used?

It is a little chuckle to have happen.

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

Yes, all the sound files are used, and which one is determined by the number of players who have rage quit in the last 30 seconds. I'm still debating over whether to leave it as is, or bump it up to 45 seconds.

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

Ahh, gotya. Hey, I have some error logs.

Re: [TF2] Rage Quit Announce
 

Yikes! I never expected client 0 to disconnect, but then again nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Ahem, anyway I fixed the issue, and bumped the plugin to version 0.1.1. Thanks for the bug report.
