Suggestion for MatchSettings

[niarfman]

Hi Nadeo Team,

When a buddy join us when we are playing a lobby match, he is accepted on the server then kicked ...

Is it possible to move him to the Lobby for allowing him to be ready for joining a match on the same Lobby with a message indicating him he is on a Lobby ?

Yes, that would be possible. It's now on the matchmaking todo list.

Why is he able to join simply to get kicked?
Why cant it be checked if he is allowed to join/spectate before connecting to the servers? ( Like how it is when you are joining a private server and you need to enter the password before you join. )

Very good suggestion indeed.


Also, what is the reason to not allow spectators? Ive played a cup recently where spectators were allowed, but they couldnt use the chat. = perfect.

For allowing spectators it's simple. You only have to remove a line into the ManiaScript ModeMatchmaking.Script.txt :

Code: Select all

	foreach (User in ToKick) {
		//declare Kicked = Admin_KickUser(User, _("This matchmaking server is hosting a match. You can't join at the moment.")); // The line to remove or comment
		Users_RequestSwitchToSpectator(User);
	}

But with 100k, a spectator can indicate the strategy of the opponents.

But you're right : Why allowing to join for being kicked immediately ? The most logical way is to indicate the buddy is playing a match and you can join the lobby if you want, before enter into the server. But this modification has to be done at ManiaPlanet Level, not within the script => More complicated to implement.

Many thanks

Didn't see your answer before ...
