Title: Hosting Power...
Post by: Danfun64 on July 24, 2014, 02:39:16 pm
I have some questions...

First, does this game give the host (probably in direct ip mode only) the ability to kick players, like most multiplayer fps games?

Second, can you add a profanity filter as a server option?

Just curious with ways that the host can have more control of the server.....

A profanity filter would be a pretty significant feature to add probably, would need to add some sort of dictionary library or something.  I believe kicking players is possible, at least between games.  Mid-battle, I'm not sure if there's a control for that, but I wouldn't really think it too necessary since missions are usually so short you can just end it, kick, and start again.

There is no ingame joining and you can normally tell within a few seconds whether someone is going to be a moron or not.
You can't kick ingame, but you can jump and kick like chief said.

I should also point out, however, that with the size of the multiplayer community, I would discourage kicking people unless they're genuinely being disruptive to your gameplay. It's counter productive to you actually ..being able to play games.
