Wrong attribuition of landmine kills :O

Post by Decade »

I joined a server with 3.2.4, spawned as medic, and after a while I saw in the obituaries that I killed a teammate with a landmine. :shock: Maybe the mine was placed by someone who was playing in my same player slot, and disconnected before I connected...

it's not a bug, it's a feature.

there's a serverside cvar controlling if landmines are removed on a disconnect, since it can be exploited in competition play. don't remember the name tho :)

I see. And what happens if the player slot is empty when the landmine kill occurs? (i.e. what name appears in the obituaries?) Just curious. :)

it does not crash... afaik, it's the same as if dyno goes off and gets a kill after disconnect... iirc the game stores their name, if it doesn't, i'll just paste "" for the name
