Until I start attempting to create my own plug-ins, just wondering if its possible, or if anyone would be willing to create an auto-kick spectators plug-in for CoD4. If its possible, it'd be great to be able to set the amount of time a player can stay in spectate mode before it kicks them. I know !warn can warn, remove, and tempban a player for a configurable amount of time, however I would like to see one that does so automatically in the event an admin isn't available.

Thanks everyone, keep up the good work!

Yes it's possible, but I don't know if the parser will give you all the necessary infos.

Normally, the current group of a user is stored in each client object (if the parser for your game includes this function).

And when the user is switching, you can use the events EVT_CLIENT_TEAM_CHANGE and EVT_CLIENT_JOIN.

Another thing, is that you can store any data for any client you want, take a look at the plugins/stats.py to see an example. So basically, what you can do is from the moment they connect to the Spectator team, you set the current time and store it the client's infos, then regularly dump the server (each 5 seconds for example) and see who is still in spectator, and compare the current time against the time you stored. To dump regularly, you can use the scheduler function of B3, you can take a look at plugins/adv.py for an example.

But this way would not be ressource efficient. Maybe there is another way than dumping yourself the server's infos each 5 seconds ?

Hmm..i would look at plugin_adv, but for whatever reason I can't get b3 to load when i try to use it. All the other plugins work though.

The "Load an external XML banner file" doesn't work, you have to include your banners directly inside plugin_adv.xml
