Votemute

Loaf

This game really needs a votemute feature to shut those pesky complainers up without kicking them from the game.

Need a working mute feature first.

Well, that would be step 1, aye?

I would like to mute the vote window.

I like the idea so I implemented it for my mod as an admin command to (un)mute single players.
A muted player is not able to post any messages in chat.

PlayerController Code (can be used in any mod, just change the PlayerController class):

var bool isChatMuted; 

exec function AdminMute(optional String PlayerName) {
    ServerListAndSaveMatchingPlayers(PlayerName, "enter \"ConfirmMute X\" in the console to mute player X");
}

exec function AdminUnmute(optional String PlayerName) {
    ServerListAndSaveMatchingPlayers(PlayerName, "enter \"ConfirmUnmute X\" in the console to unmute player X");
}

exec function ConfirmMute(int Num) {
    ServerConfirmMute(Num, true);
}

exec function ConfirmUnmute(int Num) {
    ServerConfirmMute(Num, false);
}

reliable server function ServerConfirmMute(int Num, bool mute) {
    local SandcastlePC P;
    if(Worldinfo.Game.AccessControl.IsAdmin(self)) {
        if(Num < 0 || Num >= MatchingPlayerControllers.Length) {
            ClientDisplayConsoleMessage("No matching player");
            return;
        }

        P = SandcastlePC (MatchingPlayerControllers[Num]);
        if(P == none) {
            ClientDisplayConsoleMessage("Player is invalid (maybe they left?)");
            return;
        }

        ClientDisplayConsoleMessage( ( mute ? "Muting" : "Unmuting") @P.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName@"--"@Class'OnlineSubsystem'.static.UniqueNetIdToString(P.PlayerReplicationInfo.UniqueId));
        P.isChatMuted = mute;
    }            
}

reliable server function SendChatMessage(string Message, EAOCFaction DesignatedTeam) {
    if(!isChatMuted) {
        super.SendChatMessage(Message, DesignatedTeam);
    }
}

defaultproperties
{
    isChatMuted = false
}

Has to be a modded server though. Coloured servers scare people away.

Ooh, I like that lemon, thanks.
