Low Score Kicker

Ezekiel · **Plugin Info:**

A plugin to kickban a player for a set amount of time if their score is not upto the standard dictated in the plugin. First plugin, any suggestions or anything are more than welcome.

v1.1 on the way with cvars for bantime, on/off and the kick ratio.

Credit: Learned much of how to start doing this from OLOs high ping kicker. So credit to him.

havent tested it but it does sound kinda harsh doesnt it...

and what is a "bad" score in your mind?

To me this is just rubbish (I will not approve it).

Code:

new RATIO = -5 // the number kills-deaths has to equal or be smaller than for the user to be kicked and banned

So if you have 5 frags and 10 deaths, you are banned.

Now, how clever is that?

This is useless.

However after a quick look (no compiling) the code looks mostly OK though I wonder, for one second forgetting I don't like the overall idea behind plugins like these, why you make RATIO a plugin global var. If anything it should be customizable to the server's admin, but that's just me.
Another thing, it looks like you want to use RATIO as a constant (constants are quite often written as big letters only), however it's just a variable in your plugin. To make constants you can either use "new const CONSTANT = somevalue" (which is not really a true constant as you can init it with a non-constant), or even better use a "true" preprocessor constant: #define RATIO -5

aye its a little harsh but i want it. There are people on my server running about with 1 12 and the like, i just dont want em there. Bad score is anything less than even imo.

whats wrong with being banned if you have 5 frags and 10 deaths?
means youre rubbish, and hence not wanted on the server this was written for.

well why dont you add a cvar to control that so it can be aproved

otherwise you shouldnt post it if you just want it for yourself

Ezekiel · 03-20-2004 , 21:24

there is a var so that you can control the 'harshness' of the plugin...is this not what you mean?

i thought someone somewhere might want it/be interested. Jeez i apologise :/

tnsk8er27 · 03-20-2004 , 21:24

no i mean to control the ratio

Ezekiel · 03-20-2004 , 21:26

oh i normally just open the smas and make changes to any of the setting i need to in there. thats what you mean yeah? so that it can be changed from ingame etc

tnsk8er27 · 03-20-2004 , 21:27

make a cvar so you can change the ratio of when it will kick
