Spectate for admins

[gameacid13]

Paid admins need spectate for multiple reasons.

mainly becuase we will be killed if were on the oposite team.

Also if someone says (InsertNameHere) is breaking our cade as a human, but your a zombie. You can't see names as a zombie. But if you have spectate you can see what they are doing.

^.^ This is something that is needed. For the fact that sometimes admins (non-paid admins) aren't on and the paid admins can't do anything.

[gameacid13]

In addition: Paid admins can't see who is doing votekicks. And votekick is being abuses ALOT lately.

When are admins on the ZS server?

[gameacid13]

I'm the only one(paid admin) XD

I'm on whenever i'm not playing PERP.

In the end i play ZS more than PERP.

Acknowledged, i'll try checking into this issue

 

At the moment, if it's inherent in the code of the program, there is nothing we can do unless soccer or kigen modifies it.

{
function ulx.votekick( calling_ply, target_ply, reason )
   if voteInProgress then
       ULib.tsayError( ply, "There is already a vote in progress. Please wait for the current one to end.", true )
       return
   end

   local msg = "Kick " .. target_ply:Nick() .. "?"
   if reason and reason ~= "" then
       msg = msg .. " (" .. reason .. ")"
   end

   ulx.doVote( msg, { "Yes", "No" }, voteKickDone, _, _, _, target_ply, time, calling_ply, reason )
   ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A started a votekick against #T", target_ply )
end
local votekick = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx votekick", ulx.votekick, "!votekick" )
votekick:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg }
votekick:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="reason", ULib.cmds.optional, ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine, completes=ulx.common_kick_reasons }
votekick:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
votekick:help( "Starts a public kick vote against target." )
if SERVER then ulx.convar( "votekickSuccessratio", "0.6", _, ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ) end -- The ratio needed for a votekick to succeed
if SERVER then ulx.convar( "votekickMinvotes", "2", _, ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ) end -- Minimum votes needed for votekick
}

Well i know trusted admins can see it. Maybe there's a way to make paid admins see it too. IDK.....

[gameacid13]

Whats the status of the situation? (Paid admins really need is )

Votekick Source Unknown:

There's a few quick fixes anyone could implement until a proper solution is found, like a print line below the 'ulx.fancyLogAdmin' function, for example.

Or changing lines 490-492 of the above function in ulx\log.lua

if isDedicatedServer() then
    print( msg .. "\n" )
end

 

Makes it so anyone can look in console to see the source of the votekick. Temporarily lets people get proof of abuse regardless of admin presence.

 

Or something like this for a more permanent solution (untested):

ULib.tsay( _, string.format( "%s started a votekick against %s REASON: %s", calling_ply:Nick(), target_ply:Nick(), reason ), true )
ulx.logString( string.format( "%s started a votekick against %s REASON: %s", calling_ply:Nick(), target_ply:Nick(), reason ) )
