Cannibalism or Suggestion voting?

Cannibalism - A workshop addon, you eat a body to make it disappear (Like a flare gun) while making the nomb nomb nomb sound from TF2, and giving you max health I think.

Voting on Suggestions - You just vote on them lmao

In any case, chop chop lets get back on the subject, I really want this to be taken seriously, this would be an amazing addition, ty for recent input though fellas

Only TTT and SSRP don't do suggestions in the Moderator meeting (assuming that Morgan still takes them for Bhop)

Bump

The lag wasn't the only issue, players in spectator deathmatch can be targeted by radio commands and can register hits from alive players, causing such things as players knifing those in spectator deathmatch.

The radio command issue, Yes, that might be a problem, however, not a big one. The person can simply re-do the radio command or go into a safe place to type out the radio command, I've never used radio commands. But that still is, an issue with it, and I'll write it down.

As for the registering hit's, i've never really had it from recent testing. As for Knifing, almost nobody uses knives anymore, and the actual odds of that, unless the person in SpecDM targets people who are alive? Which even then, good luck, the odds of that are astronomical.

In summary, I still truly believe, for the sake of the server, the benefits still heavily outweigh those egatives.

Updated Issues/Exploits.

That’s just a grouping issue which can be fixed by creating groups to alive and dead this can be fixed with a bit of testing so this will help us in manipulating the code eg(I don’t know the actual code just and example)

Group n = player x (etc list goes on)
While player x press mouse 1
Can only damage player x from group n

Oh do we even have suggestions?


Things is, we DO NEED THIS, this will most likely be ignored

Yes, it would benefit the server. It'll make the gameplay more attractive.

There must be a way to add this without complications right?

For us staff, we can use that time for reports, but users just have to wait, and that is boring.

The server would be better with it

There is a way, like I said, there should be at least a test period for it.

My proposal would be a week worth of testing, and staff would be instructed to look at users feedback on it.

If it's bad, either fix it or remove it. If it's good, why not have it?

I always wanted Deathmatch on ZARP and was extremely annoyed when the Death Scene got removed, because it was extremely useful. Spectator Deathmatch, is definitely something very interesting and I am sure there's no person who doesn't want it to be added. The only issue with it, is the lag. We the SAs and HAs can't do much to fix that. If you got an idea on how to fix that, Svanzscape, then talk to the Owners on TS. We can't do shit. Everything you mentioned in your suggestion is true but at the end of the day it's on the Owners' hands if they find a way to reduce lag and add these features back.

Read the post thoroughly, I've heard many rumours that the lag issue was fixed by the developers of the addon.That's why I propose adding it back for at least a little bit in order to test it.

what seems to be the problem is the server host isn't powerful enough maybe its time to upgrade the host

I get it. But what i am trying to say is that we can't do shit. You need to discuss this with the Owners on Teamspeak. Actually, you know what? I am going to personally bring this up next LT meeting and tell you the outcome.

I don’t know about you guys but I can do this great thing called google and when googling TTT Spectator Deathmatch you come across their github and when looking at what issues people have reported on there. Suprise suprise github.com/Tommy228/TTT_Spectator_Deathmatch/issues/4 someone let them know not just the knife but any weapon that HAS to function like that to work like it can suffer the exploit Sally described where you can’t hit them. That was over 3 years ago and they haven’t fixed it. Now I don’t know about you but if I was playing with a knife and I wanted to kill someone with it I can almost guarantee that people would rather never happen to worry about your knife or other weapon suddenly and randomly not working. Also looking at their release section and seeing how many exploits the addon in an addon that shouldn’t you have to wonder how many others have yet to surface.
