Every now and then, Renegade feels like crashing.

You come back ingame, and realise all the mines you placed are gone.

You spend the next 5 minutes raging, and another 5 minutes remining. That is, if the enemy hasn't destroyed your base while you were gone.

Can mines be made more persistent? And survive when a player disconnect?

That's because there was an old exploit where people would place beacons and leave, making them undisarmable but still "live", and therefore got building kills, and there was no defense.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

It could be different with mines, though. Westwood choose for the easy solution, in my eyes. Mines from player x from team y could be assigned to player z from team y when player x left the game.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I approve of this method.

I don't know how many times one team has lost because the guy who mined disconnects. Razz

We would like to, but we can't fix everyone's internet connection. Sad We do try to fix as most crashes as possible. Smile

I'll have a look, preventing the C4/beacon from getting disarmed automatically is probably easy, not sure how hard it is to fix that old exploit CarrierII mentioned.

Switching teams is something different, I think it's more than fair that the C4/beacon does not go off when changing team (otherwise placing some timed on a MCT prior to swapping will kill the building; or if implemented differently you can get your new team's building killed by the beacon you placed when still at the other team...)

I have prevented proximity and timed C4 from getting auto-disarmed when the player leaves. I can't reproduce the unable-to-disarm bug for C4. For beacons, the beacon goes off but causes no damage; I'm not changing that for now.

What happens when a player is killed by a proxy left behind from a disconnected player?

I'll have to test that to be sure, but afaik it will damage/kill the player but not give any points to anyone.

k, thanks

Edit: cuz I was thinking, for scripts that report who killed a player it might cause some unexpected results.

if you place a beacon and switch the team with the team (or team2) console command, it stays and detonates. As far as i know if someone leaves the game the beacon stays, but upon detonation it disapears, i mean it does not detonate.
