Spam Protection v. 1a

[Gugi]

Name: Spam Protection
Version: 1a
Compatibility: Uhm, hope with everything... :rolleyes:

Description:
This is a simple mutator which allows players to chat only in certain intervals (i.e. they must wait a certain time before they can send a message again).
If a player sends the same message over and over again, he is blocked from chat for a certain time. This also includes slightly changed messages like "Gugi" -> "aGugi".
Furthermore admins can block players from chat completely for 1 map. ;)
Every intervals are configurable, of course (however, not through the menu... you need to create an own menu just for some configs!!!).

I made this mutator to see the differences between UT2k4 and UT3. So this is nothing special, but might be useful for server-admins. :)

Source-code is still in the package, of course. ;)

Does this include Taunt-spamming? Because this is really annoying.
Maybe you could make it configurable to only block taunt-spamming.

Useful mutator.

Have a suggestion for next version. May you update with it please. (if not already implemented)
SO, there is my suggestion:

Spam protection start work after some (configurable) repeats. So player may spam, say, same message 4 times without delay, after that four messages spam-protectino start work.

+1 for taunt spamming.


(however, not through the menu... you need to create an own menu just for some configs!!!).
Explain ???

I will see... However I never planned to develope this any further. But I want to remake my ClanManager, and perhaps I will include it there.



Explain ???
Well, if you are familiar with UScript in UT2k4, you know, that you can simply call PlayInfo.AddSetting() in the FillPlayInfo()-function.
UT2004 handled the rest: it added the options in the WebAdmin interface and in the mutator-configuration menu.

If you look at the WeaponReplacement-Mutator in UT3, which is configurable through a menu, you notice, that there isn't any PlayInfo or whatever.
They coded an extra menu for it. The file-name is UTUIFrontEnd_WeaponReplacementMenu and this is also in the ini-section, which tells the game how to load the mutator:

[UTMutator_WeaponReplacement UTUIDataProvider_Mutator]
UIConfigScene=UI_Scenes_Mutators.Scenes.WeaponRepl acement

I've never had any problem with this, most pc gamers are pretty mature IMO, but I'm sure there will be little skids screwing around on their brothers accounts over the psn. luckily they'll need a keyboard to really spam.

Great job, btw. I like features like this!

Where have you been? Every single day i play i have to deal with FU#! Tards spamming the chat/voice. Yesterday I had some guy using what seemed to be a fake Indian accent just saying "hellooooo helloooo hello hello hello hello" Over and over and over and over for about 3 maps continually.

lol PC fanboy... If you dont know what you talking about keep your mouth shut, cause I bet you dont even have a PS3.

Believe it or not theres not a lot of kids on PSN, I guess because the little ones go to the 360 I've heard. I havent had immature people, maybe only some people that play music on there mics (but UT3 mic support sucks on the PS3 so no one really uses it anyways). And only PC games have the text chat in there games.
