hey all I was curious about something. this is not a request. just something to discuss.
is it possible to have an auto SS taken the instant you kill someone?
The SS would go to both the player's Data folder and also a copy goes to the server.
How does this help to catch cheats?

Depends what exactly you can take a ss of. Punkbuster does a lousy job on this.

I don't think the average .jpg takes up much space. How much bandwidth does Renegade take, normally?
Alternatively, it could be not automatically on-kill, but rather at a server admin's request. Instead of requesting elaborate SS tests, just pop into irc and type something like "-ss [SUM]RandomFaggot". That opens itself up to potential abuse by abusive mods, but who plays on servers that tolerate that kind of shit anyway?

whoa nice ideas all...
yeah bandwidth could be a problem but .jpg files don't take much space though I dunno about their quality.
I guess it would be too much to take SS of every kill legit players are getting...yeah good call.
As GEORGE & Dover mentioned, it could be an option and can be used as a moderating tool. Say someone complains about a certain player in-game, then a mod can start "blackmarking" the suspect and check the SS in real time as the game is being played.
I dunno how the mod would access the SS though.
@ Clark: I hope so...the SS should show everything the player is seeing in his monitor. Dunno if this is possible...

The idea now is that we will make it so that the server (so a mod or admin depending on a regulator) can requesdt a screenshot at any time.
This screenshot will be uploaded to a website/ftp server (unsure here) which can then be viewed by people having access to that site/ftp.
As for bandwidth, normal renegade doesn't use more than 10KB/s on average, but this might be increased with TT (because of better netcode that uses more bandwidth to be more accurate/less laggy). A JPG could be done, but the size depends on the quality, complexity of the image and of course the screenresolution. Say it would be 500KB, then on a connection with 0,5Mbit/s upload it would take 10 seconds to uploading, when nothing else is uploaded. Now since we don't want to interrupt the gameplay (because to upload it in 10s we need to use all bandwidth for the screenshot) we would have to limit the upload speed for the screenshot. Say we need 5KB/s to upload normal game data, then it would already mean that uploading one screenshot would take more than 11 seconds.
The 0.5Mbit/s upload isn't that uncommon, though it could of course be more, but also less. We need to take this into account and not over request screenshots.

The files are very small anyway... I don't see it being a huge problem overall as long as serevr owners don't abuse the feature.
