wrong way drivers=spectate will not work
sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find it lol

when i set wrong way drivers to kick or spectate, it does neither, it just shows "WRONG WAY" in white, letting peeps drive wrong way all day long, lol

i'm running x10 dedicated and its the same in demo or S2.

i initially thought it was slapper, but its the same without it running.

here is my line..

// no/yes/ban/spectate: wrong way drivers
/autokick=spectate

it used to work, what gives?? has this happened to anyone else? what have i done wrong??? lmao

thanks in advance
Quack!!

can't say that I have ever used this setting. But what you have done looks like it is correct.

Once the server has loaded, try putting it in, as a command. Maybe for some reason its not loading it correctly from the cfg file

thanks for the reply Krammeh, i tried as you suggested (i entered /autokick=spectate into chat window, whilst logged in as admin), but nothing - i even restarted the server but no joy

thanks again, i'll live with it for the moment

Quack!!

don't worry guys, solved it

the autokick won't work in practice mode (0 laps) changed it to a 10 lap race and its working fine, very strange lol

Quack!!

thanks krammeh, i wasn't sure if this was known about as i could find no reference to it anywhere, so to be on the safe side i posted in the bug report section, hopefully it will get looked at when the dev's have the time

Quack!!

I get the feeling that the whole auto kick/spec thing, is disabled in practice mode, because its designed to create layouts and/or if you wanna go backwards, to retake the corner while "practicing". Dunno though!
#9 - Patussay
yep, im pretty sure that in practice mode is disabled
#10 - quackdougal
Ahhh i see, thanks guys i feel such a muppet now lol

i've just found out as well that all though autokick works fine in the race, once the race is finished, autokick no longer works leaving the possibility to cheat at driftscoring (in lapper) wide open.

aww well, i can see now why thats just the way it is, i will check the lapper thread to see if they have come up with any workaround there.

thanks alot guys

Quack!!
