Kicking Players with Spaces


LaVarious

Recommended Posts

I am a complete N00B to running a server but this forum has been great. I am running into a problem when I try to kick a player that has a space in his/her name. If there name is "nospace" I type:

 

/kick nospace

 

And it kicks them right out. But if their name is "no space" and I type:

 

/kick no space

 

It lists the kick functions. Is there a way to kick players that utilize a space in their name? Thanks in advance.

In order to kick a player with a space in their name, you need to use clientkick and their client number. You can sometimes get their client number from /rcon status. However, that command is bugged and it usually cuts the list off after the first 5-6 clients. You can alternatively use the status command directly in the server console and get a complete list. If you don't have access to the server console and they aren't one of the first 5-6 clients, you're kinda screwed.

 

At least until I get the admin bot up and running. The admin bot will kick players using only partial names. Look for it some time late next week. I expect to have a beta out around then.

At this time, the bot is capable of the following:

 

kicking players if they have offensive words in their names

kicking players if their score goes too low

kicking players with animated names

kicking players by say/teamsay order by admin

recognizing players by ip address and name as admins

-- also protects admin nicks from impersonation

kicking players who TK too much (this needs a lot more work)

banning players by name or ip (eg No padawan players)

 

There are other features being considered, but for now, I'm sticking with what's listed. This bot is actually not my own creation, but rather a conversion of an RtCW bot. You can read about it here. It's a shame we don't have guid's in JK2. It sure would make banning a lot more simple.

Alright. I typed:

 

/status

 

And I get all the good status info for the players. Now how do I take this information to kick a player? i normally run a 6 person server and I see they are number 1-6. What command would kick them?

 

/kick num 1

 

I am kind of lost. Thanx for helping a lesser Jedi!

This is pissing me off I host a very popular server wich is always full but I can't take care of it. There is one person with a space between his names and I can't kick him. This Q3 engine has been out for what over 2 years already and its still ****in bugged.

 

I type /serverstatus to get the cient number then when I kick that client number it kicks someone else. the /serverstatus is ****ed it doesnt show the correct number for the clients. This is Bull**** I pay good money to host a server and I can't properly manage it and I look like a fool kicking people that did nothing wrong. Something needs to be done about this!!!

/serverstatus will only give you a partly correct number if the server is completely full. If it is, you can take the serverstatus # for a player, subtract 1 and get their client #. However, if the server is not completely full...the numbers won't line up like that 100% of the time. The best thing you can do is check status (not serverstatus) via the server console. That way you get a complete list with accurate client numbers for the clientkick command.

 

Late next week I'll have a beta out for an admin bot conversion (from RtCW) that should help. More to come on that later.
