Title: Pause (updated)
Post by: Gryphus_One on July 05, 2010, 09:28:03 AM
masterbeef has said many times that the pausing time limit should be increased or even removed, because now that the server has few players, it would make the server look more crowded on the Samp list and also because new players wouldn't be confused (many of them, when kicked, don't relog again). However, it's true that a paused player on the middle of the street during a long time can be annoying, so here comes my suggestion: after 5 minutes of pausing outside, instead of being kicked, he is automatically teleported to a bank, and when he despauses an automatic text appears saying something like "you have been teleported to a bank for pausing longer than 5 minutes".

EDIT: To prevent abuse of this feature, it may be made that he is teleported to the bank ONLY during his pausing time, and when he dispauses he is brought back to where he was.

useless idea.

pausing outside only is allowed to take a short look at the map. if you want to pause longer you go inside of bank or amu there you can pause forever without getting kicked.

srly gryphus wtf you think? auto teleport to bank? :o
jeez

Yeah but new players don't know that, and many of them don't come back to the server after being kicked.

whatever. a teleport to bank would be abused.
but you could teleport those players to another virtual world. at least i think it works.
but i really dont think it would help much :o

you know how rare this message is that somebody got kicked for 5 min pausing? and in 95% percent of this cases its some regular.

with virtual world change instead of bank teleport (and auto backchange when unpause) this could be usefell. a tiny bit.

also it could be really helpfull if this works even to the players inside. there will be less guys who block you inside of the red circle for example.

Yes, why not? but I'm talking about people who pause outside and get kicked, making the server more empty.

gryphus again:

you dont have to teleport them. just put them in other virtual world if they paused longer than 5 min outside.

but i still think its retarded because pausing outside is against the rules to begin with.

Well in that case you can lock the thread.
