Implemented Admin Sentinel

So currently I've been thinking (which is never a good idea) about how people can use team chat and we can't see what the hell they're saying. Well I suggest that n0:name installs: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=632342 which basically allows admins to see what the other team are typing in team chat which would be great if theres only one admin online.


Although if there is something like this already then I'm an idiot and I apologise.

 

So you can see how they plan on destroying the sentry you built in front of their spawn? It ain't gonna fly Otter, it ain't gonna fly.

 

On the Trade and Achievement servers I don't see why that would be a problem. But on a server like 2Fort or dustbowl etc. I understand why not, however admins should just try to ignore messages like that (i.e by not passing them onto the other team) and I believe that the positives outweigh the negatives.

 

Yeah, I don't see this happening.

 

Support

 

I do not want it on jailbreak. Those caber knights always plan something on red team and knowing about it makes it less fun.

 

I get what your saying :3 So maybe only have it on Trade/Idle and Achievement/Idle as those are the only servers where I don't see any problems with it :3
Although it is something you can turn on and off so when there are multiple admins you could always just turn it off :3

 

Aside from the abused use of the :3 emoticon, the idea isn't all that bad. It's just that like others suggested; it'll never fly on the more serious of servers.

Now, the trade/idle server on the other hand are less serious, so I'd want everyone to at least think about it.
Since we've already established that for example the trade server is the least serious one, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Most messages are trade-related anyway.

 

I'll disagree with this, mainly because some gamemodes would just be broken with this.
Admins also could check server logs if needed, right?
Although, if it's needed, I'd go for trade/idle/achievement servers only.

Let's wait for n0name's oppinion.

 

Isn't it possible to see both chats in spectator mode? No pc now to check that.

 

Nope.

 

Then we need it in spectator only. In team would have too much benefits against the other team.

 

cause i'm an idiot I forgot to put it in the suggestions part of Server Discussions.

Can @Downy or @n0name fix that?

 

Technicly AND logicly, it shouldn't. Spectators IS a team, right? Team chat stands for BLU, RED and SPECTATORS. So with the logical point of view, you shouldn't be able to see the "other team" chat. Could be good to add something like that admin spectators only see what's going on the team chats.

 

Done.

 

Thanks man :3

 

Of course sentries won't fly.
But I think this has pros and cons, and as long as it is not abused/exploited I think it's fine.
