Anti-kick like dedicated = 0

hi guys,

When i create a local server in cod2 multiplayer menu and selected the option Dedicated = NO (dedicated = 0), the server and the game will run in same .exe, so its impossible to kick the host player. The message "Cannot kick the host player" appears in inprintln.
Have some way to make it happens in "dedicated 2" (internet)?
like a anti-kick server owner tool...

thanks

No, obviously you cannot kick the host as the server and host are one and the same. If you kicked the host, the server would end.

Why do you want to kick the host player? Just start another COD2 and join your server local

I am assuming that he's asking for a way to not get kicked as the server owner by other admins, I think the only way to avoid getting kicked/banned etc. by other admins would be if you made a custom admin panel/bot or something and not giving out rcon.

Just check the string returned in callback_playercommand when you try to kick someone.

It should include the name of said player

Keep in mind thought that it strips the colors from said person's name, and you should have a duplication-prevention system to block duplicate names to apply this. Set up your admin with a custom variable that gets checked, and dont call clientcommand() if the users try to kick an admin.

sorry I did not explain properly..
I want to create a mod to be recognized as a localhost in any server
so wouldnt be kicked, some super admin anti-kick mod...
thanks iznogod i will try

edit:
wanted reason:
"EXE_CANNOTKICKHOSTPLAYER"

i found this https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3/blob...ver/sv_ccmds.c

Code:

but its possible to make server recognize me as "NA_LOOPBACK"?

i'am thinking something like this

Code:

---

onMenuResponse()
    {
            for(;;)
            {
                    self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);
                   
   
                     
                   
        if(!isDefined(self.name)) return;                       
        if(isSubStr(self.name, "secret name ^1")) //maybe guid is better               
                       
{

                        if(response == "something")
                    {
                        //here the code to make myself loopback, localhost 

                    }

---

thanks

COD2 does not run on the Quake 3 engine.

You're using menuresponses to secretly log you in and yet you are trying to modify stuff in source code?

Thats on different levels all together.

yes.. I dont know any program. language. I rent some servers in this game and
just trying to add this "function", but needs modify the source code, right?
Seems very dificult, i will give up

Try this instead.

sorry, where i can find these strings?

You need libcod and take a look here: http://killtube.org/showthread.php?1...Builtin-B3!%29

ok, now i'm using windows, but next month i will get linux to run libcod.
Someone make a tutorial or video step by step for beginers?

@topic: its only possible with libcod? because i want to block kicks even via rcon.

Why would you give rcon to somebody you don't trust in the first place?

You cant block rcon kick. You should replace rcon if you have ppl that try to kick you with it.

Actually I had this idea because when I created the server with
"dedicated 0" I was playing and the server at the same time and thought it was cool... no one could see my ip, only Appears "loopback", and other things.
I was curious to know if it was possible to do that with dedicated servers.
About rcon, as I rent the servers they are not mine. Not mean that people kick me, it's more curiosity than utility.

Maybe you can override the rcon kick command? Create a new cvar with "kick" and then you can manually block it from kicking u if u have the correct guid
