    Hello,

    I'm suggestion that PA's would get an option to restart a server.

    Because servers like MG do need some restarts all the time because of the physics going bad
    Like: props going too fast or too slow or unable to play a minigame simply because of the physics fucks it up.
    There is not always an Hell or Hell-F admin online that can do that.
    And something this small you wouldn't need to bother an Hell admin with it

    I don't know if the props are going crazy too in other server but in MG it happens quite.

    Thanks for reading

    Regards

    I'm sorry but I don't think we will include this with PayAdmin because it can be abused. Most people think the server is lagging etc and therefore needs a restart or sometimes they have high ping. Most people will resort to restarting the server instead of checking their own connection or PC.

    You will argue that you will only use it for props physics going bad but we are not sure about other PayAdmins.

    I know most people think that but I have played a long time on MG so I do know when the props are out of their normal behavior.
    You can maybe only give it to specific PA's ?
    Or like increase the punishment for abuse
    e.g abuse the restart = removal of PA with no refund + ban?

    How do the physics get messed up in the first place? Do certain maps change server settings or something? Cause if that's the case, maybe allowing admins to restore the server to a default config is an option. Then afterwards you just need to restart the round for it to work.

    If it's just gravity being messed up reloading/changing the map is all that needs to be done.

    Me hablo no english good so me no understand well

    On topic:

    I'm guessing you're asking how to see if someone is abusing it or just an accident?

    Well I wouldn't know any other reason why you would restart a server besides when the physics are fucked.

    and I don't see how u can accidently restart a server because if there was an option you would need to press your admin menu and then a certain amount of numbers.

    So I think you can see the diffrence very clearly if it's for abuse or fun or for the right thing.

    Its because of player collisions (noblock) on server that causes this after a while on server. This bug has haunted CSS for years now. There are few extensions I can use to avoid this from happening in first place but I will have to experiment with this first.

    I will think about giving restart option to selected admins like yourself since you have been PayAdmin for quite sometime and so I think it would be safe to do so.

    The example you posted is lose/lose situation for the clan.

    It'd be considered unfair to have two levels of admins, you pay for the same rights as the others.

    If this post was for me to answer, I think we will deal each case individually.

    As far as I know, everytime we play airship or incarceration map, a server restart is needed. Dont know if there are other maps that fuck up server settings (jailbreak)

    A server restart has been required on dr a few times, but when no members have been on for me to contact it would be a good idea to have the server restart option, but for admins with experience and who knows why and in which situations they can use it...

    Airship only laggs once/twice between 9;00 - 8;30, after that the map really is fun to play on

    But for servers like SK or clan or anyother server were there wouldn't need an option for restart is just a waste no?
    And I do have a feeling that some PA's might abuse it though

    Then don't give it to inexperienced payadmins, only to admins that deserve it or are experienced....
