Description: Description:
Will notify attackers, victims, or everyone when a player spawn kills someone.

Based of amount of time between deaths. its not a perfect science but it does the job.

I built (and only tested) this for homefront based on time of death because homefront doesn't have a event for spawning. But it should work the same with any game.

It has warning and a notice times, warn or obvious spawn kill, notice for when the attacker is getting too close to the spawns. then the ability to give the attacker a warning message or to give them a actual warning.

Special Thanks to Courgette for all his help getting this started.

Any ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am getting a error trying to run this plugin on Homefront:

110827 09:24:47   INFO   'Could not load built in plugin spawnprotection (No module named spawnprotection)'
110827 09:24:47   CRITICAL   'Error loading plugin: unexpected indent (spawnprotection.py, line 113)'

Anyone else having problems?

Uploaded v1.0.1 it should be fine now..

Stay tuned i have 1.1.0 coming in the next couple days which will have the ability to issue a warning after getting a defined amount of notices.

Thanks to Storm for pointing out that I had the plugin_spawnprotection.xml file named incorrectly to just spawnprotection.xml. I have reuploaded the zip file with the .xml named correctly.

Thanks for your help Storm.

Nice plugin!  Maybe you can consider adding respawn delay time in the next version?

[ultra1776]

Thanks a lot Freelander.

 I feel like a idiot for asking but. What do you mean by respawn delay?

[Freelander]

No reason to feel that way, I may have used a wrong description   What I mean by respawn delay is the time between the death of a player until spawning again. For some games it's possible to set a predetermined time to wait until the player spawns again after getting killed.

For blackops ranked servers, there's a different built in calculation of this waiting time I guess because it's not always the same waiting time. Btw, if anyone knows the logic, it can also be integrated in your plugin. I know a lot of people complains about excessive spawn kills in blackops.

Edit: I guess there's no spawn delay in blackops softcore, so it must be only in hardcore servers...

[ultra1776]

I get it. There is a repawn delay section in cod and in hf. Since it is based on the amount of time someone is dead that would be best to set it as a option rather than playing with the times. Cause right now I'm allowing 13 seconds to be considered spawn camping. but there is a 2 second respawn delay on the server and the fly down time that I'm trying to calculate in there. that's our server other server may have a longer respawn delay. I think the default is 10.

Yes I will defiantly add that to the next version. Thanks for the idea Freelander.
