Referee for Matches and Serveradministration

[arakis]

Hey guys,
how about including a kind of referee function?
I thougt about an invisible person who can fly over
the battlefield, keeping eys on the game and
kick, ban, warn if necessary.

For example on our Communityserver someone is
baseraping. At the moment an admin have to switch the
team, wait long time to spawn and got the problem
to find out, who it was?

My suggestion is that the admin switches to the "referee mode"
and see every player of both teams on his map.
so he`s able to make a decision of what is going on.

What do you think?

Cheers

imagine this - an admin plays in one team and that team is losing, he switches to "referee mode" spots all squads, rally points, armor movement and reports all that to the losing team...

[arakis]

well at the moment, every player could switch the team,
switch back and tell his mates the positions of enemies,
that`s not the point...

Well don't play on a server where admins abuse their power, how bout that

An important thing to have in other games, would be good to have admins being able to move freely in BF2 too. When i was admin in other games it always worked out well. Sure, admins can go and tell the location of enemies, but admins can also kick the entire enemy team. However, "hardcoded" comes to mind somehow.

What about AdminMap - The Tool for BF2 Admins if this could be somehow associated with PR it would be awesome.

Hardcoded, cant have more then 2 teams on the map together. Admins can set free view to do that them selves.

The definitive answer to this suggestion: it lies outside the purview of the PR team.

Admins can already do something like this, and it's already known to be both impossible and foolish to give such functionality to the average Joe on a public server.

you can have 4 teams total acording the bf2editor.org...

That admin map thing that mora posted looks good.

Ya but the file sizes would grow and do u want a guy in white and black strips running around the battle field?

It's still in alpha testing stage, but it does look good!
Think I'm gonna have to leave a message there...

Actually, the developers of it say they don't know if it works with mods, as they haven't tested that yet... any server admins willing to do so?
