Hi,
Yeah the banning system is very rudimentary and doesn't do a whole lot. I'm glad the game caused a lot of fun. I'm surprised how well it works, given again it was my first fps and my first multiplayer project.
It is a new version. The weapons have changed, and I completely took out uncle susi, so I hope that will get rid of most of the problems.
can I please trouble you enough to send us a link when it's uploaded?
what on earth is a susi. Is their a story behind how this weapon got it's name? Or are people legitimately having issues spelling Suzie.
there's a story behind that weapon.
I just posted the link in the official RTR thread, but here is the new version. SAPI is broken, so if you need that then you might wanna use NVDA for now.

Hi.
@Ghorthalon:
Thanks so much for the new version. Removing uncle susi will get rid of most problems for sure.
For everyone: I'm thinking about putting up the server again because the uncle susi has been removed. I would like to ask if the uncle susi was the only issue, or were there other issues which I wasn't aware of?
after sorting out the maps, the only issue that remained for me was susi. if you put up the server, it will be most welcomed, but it''s up to you, after all.
Here's an idea though it might not be very popular.
Take a page from Aprone and charge for a server account. The idea being that if you have to pay for and the threat of a permanent ban may not be so appealing and thus deter cheating.
When online games allow you to sign up with only a name or an email address, those games are very easy for hackers to destroy. Providing an email address is considered a weak identification, which has no weight, because people can easily create as many email accounts as they want. If a troublemaker is removed from one of these games, they can have a brand new email address within minutes, and fool the game into believing they are a brand new person. Gamer Accounts must be purchased with real money, so someone cannot easily make as many as they wish. This is a much stronger form of identification because the real life cost adds weight to it. If a troublemaker is removed from one of my games, they must pay real money to try to get back in. When cheaters and hackers have to pay real money each time they are caught, it discourages them from ever trying to return.
@SLJ, just wondering, how did you get a Linux copy of the server? That would be nice so I can always keep my server running.
Hi.
@Orko: Since RTR originally is a free game, I won't charge for this. The server side is not build to handle accounts anyway, so if I would do that, it's currently not possible.
@Dgleks: There is no Linux version of the server available, so I'm using Wine.
oh yeah, make it paid, like it'll solve everything. quite possibly it will, but on the flip side, there will hardly be any players since: 1) some can't afford it. 2) some don't want to pay for games. 3) some have nothing to pay with. at the time of posting, this guy didn't think of these points. this is exactly the reason why I will not try swamp, BTW. I refuse to pay for something, that I can't try, and no, the off line version of it is not the same. so if paying is not optional, I'm out of the game,.
