  New KTX version tries to prevent ghosting!  080308  
 

Just minutes ago a new version of KTX was released.

While the new version can obviously not totally guarantee the prevention of ghosting, it does introduce a very interesting feature: Being able to play without spectators on the server. To read more about this and to find out how it works, please head over to the original news post at QuakeWorld.nu. How to handle this feature in official games as well has how and when to apply it will need to be discussed among the admins, followed by updating the rules, so stay stuned!

After receiving several insults as well as being subject to false information and lies, going public with our decision about 3b as well as letting you guys be your own judge and access the demo - something we thought people would appreciate - it retrospectively seemed like a better idea to decide about 3b's fate in secret, not bothering with an exhausting discussion, not being insulted and avoiding drama. However, with the new version of KTX released as a consequence of our actions, things are looking shiny again.

Nevertheless, the last days have also shown that a lot of people do not feel obliged to read and adhere to the rules. While it's the admins that do the penalising, it is the players and clans that should be performing the f_* checks and reporting suspicious/false behaviour to us, as well as to report voice communication. We cannot spectate every game and check who uses mm3 before every game, who comes to and leaves the server, who uses what client, and so on. The clans and players need to be reponsible about this and report to us. If that's being done, we will review the case and take measures if necessary. If players are too lazy to check on their opponents, there is, quite frankly, not much we can do.

Will/have you added this new command to your rules section? If a game is played on an updated server and this command is available, can a clan insist on the command being used?

Do both clans have to agree or only one?

Det är tänt i huset men det är ingen hemma.

How about spectating the server through the EZ-TV? Will there be a command to turn the television off as well? :\\

QTV has a 10 second delay which limits the usefulness of it for ghosting in the fast-paced, constantly-changing game of qw.

No new KTX version has been released, or at least not stable one.

I however have released snapshot test versions of KTX, MVDSV and QTV that allow chatting from QTV to game. KTX also contains that /nospecs feature and the later release I explained a bit above was to complement the gap in spectalk.

So, no official STABLE release, but semiofficial test version release on all accounts.

okay, i'll make sure that's included in the next news post.
