So you want to enable friendly fire on mines?
 
More seriously, I don't think there is a way to disable self damage from weapons. This doesn't concern only mines but also grenades and other explosives.
 
There is no such option to disable the engineer from triggering their own landmine. They need to be able to trigger it for defusing. Tripmines are different as those can be defused without triggering.

If you can consider using PostgreSQL, the next version of the mod will have a way to collect game statistics for you.

There is also LGPL which lets you enforce that the extension source stays open but it can be used with any software. MIT license of course allows all use.

That is the full ET source code release. It includes the game code too though. We are using the ET SDK license. We fork from the ETPub 0.9.1 source code. ETPub was started from the ET SDK release.

Where did you see the claim that silEnT was licensed under GPL?
 
Shortcut to the answer, it is not licensed under GPL.

There has been long discussions about iron sights in the past. In general they don't really fit into the game as the aim mechanics requires fast movements, reactions and tracking. Possible method of trying to make them useful might be to add zoom and make them that way useful for long range. But that would be a completely different game then.

Sorry. I was reading it fast and thought there was something missing from the Lua. But your response was to
 
One way is to disable light weapons skill level 4. Which is the one that gives akimbos to the players. I.e.
set skill_lightweapons "20 50 90 -1" http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/Silent_Mod_Server_Cvar#skill_lightweapons

I don't know what you mean by overload server CPU. But it sounds unlikely unless it is made significantly different. As in something completely different.

I'm not sure if you know it and it's a joke, but the spelling would be finishing. Finnishing would mean making it Finnish

Oops, my responses in that thread make no sense actually in relation to the presented problems. So it is my fault. I don't know how that has happened.

I think this video can give you an idea http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/topic/4034-et-server-series/
 
Also, reading this http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Mod_Installation should be useful.
 
EDIT:
JohnDory was faster.

Sorry, I didn't realize the field names were missing. I added them now. They are sess.overall_killrating and sess.rating for PRW. If you want them in the same format as they are in the scoreboard, the formula for kill rating is:
 
(1.0 / (1.0+exp(-(sess.overall_killrating*(1.0 / sqrt(1.0+sess.overall_killvariance*3.0/(M_PI*M_PI))))))) / (1.0 - (1.0 / (1.0+exp(-(sess.overall_killrating*(1.0 / sqrt(1.0+sess.overall_killvariance*3.0/(M_PI*M_PI))))))))
 
,where M_PI is 3.14159265358979323846
 
Maybe a bit clearer in Lua
function kill_probability(net, g_of_x_margin) return 1.0 / (1.0+math.exp(-(net*g_of_x_margin))) end function g_of_x(variance) local M_PI = 3.14159265358979323846 return 1.0 / math.sqrt(1.0+variance*3.0/(M_PI*M_PI)) end function GetKillRating local probability = kill_probability(rating,g_of_x(variance)) return probability / (1.0f - probability) end No guarantees that the script works.

You could add the admin level to the passed arguments to the function:
function CheckCommand(clientNum, level, arguments) if( arguments[0] == "!mycommand" ) then et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientNum, "chat \"Your command "..arguments[0].." has been received\"") return 1 end return 0 end function et_ClientCommand(clientNum, command) local level = et.G_shrubbot_level(clientNum) local flood = et.ClientIsFlooding(clientNum) -- we're not interested if the level is too low or if the client is flooding if (level < 1) or (flood == 1) then return 0 end local arg0 = string.lower(et.trap_Argv(0)) local arguments -- check to see if the command was given through any of the chat methods or as sparse text from the console if arg0 == "say" or arg0 == "say_team" or arg0 == "say_buddy" or arg0 == "say_teamnl" then arguments = SplitToArguments(et.trap_Argv(1)) else arguments = SplitToArguments(et.ConcatArgs(0)) end -- actual command handling return CheckCommand(clientNum, level, arguments) end  Or you can declare the variable as close to its intended use as possible. This style is generally preferred when programming:
function CheckCommand(clientNum, arguments) local level = et.G_shrubbot_level(clientNum) if( (arguments[0] == "!mycommand") and (level >= 1) ) then et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientNum, "chat \"Your command "..arguments[0].." has been received\"") return 1 end return 0 end function et_ClientCommand(clientNum, command) local flood = et.ClientIsFlooding(clientNum) -- we're not interested if the client is flooding if flood == 1 then return 0 end local arg0 = string.lower(et.trap_Argv(0)) local arguments -- check to see if the command was given through any of the chat methods or as sparse text from the console if arg0 == "say" or arg0 == "say_team" or arg0 == "say_buddy" or arg0 == "say_teamnl" then arguments = SplitToArguments(et.trap_Argv(1)) else arguments = SplitToArguments(et.ConcatArgs(0)) end -- actual command handling return CheckCommand(clientNum, arguments) end

I finally decided to add a section for creating custom commands. The information has been scattered around and I thought it will make it easier if all of it is in one place.

Please comment improvements and if you can provide clean short examples for the last two methods, that would be appreciated.

I added an example to http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Creating_Custom_Commands You can use that to check issues. Btw, thanks for giving some code to start adding to it.

Forcing com_hunkMegs does not work. The reson is that the game must be started with the value. Changing it afterwards has no effect.

No I meant that the client is sending the say text inside quotes. I.e. /say "text with spaces". That makes the server interpret the full string as one parameter. So you should split the parameter using space as a delimiter and so you get what you need.

Just read the links I posted, it is very clear then. I agree that creating a Lua script is a bit more work. The reasons why we remove certain abilities that were in ETPub, has been to make the experience more consistent to players. Also, some features were pretty much experimental. Couple mistakes were made, but this is not one of those. If you are new to scripting, please read a Lua tutorial first. It will be easy then and Lua is very easy scripting language.

This is a great idea.  I can provide a simple example of a shrubbot command working with LUA - we have a bunch of working scripts that use this method.   You can use this if you want.
 
 
 
For the purposes of this example, the command is mycommand.   It will be executed when the uses enters !mycommand in the console, assuming that player has been assigned level 2 or higher shrubbot level.
 
1. Create your command in the shrubbot file.   Open your shrubbot.cfg file (in silent\database directory) and add the following block:
[command] command = mycommand exec = mycommand [i] desc = Does something cool for people over level 2 syntax = levels = 2 3 4 5 2.  Create a LUA file in your silent directory on the server.  Call it mycommand.lua (or whatever name you want to give it).   Begin with the following stub:
function et_ConsoleCommand(command) -- if the user types !mycommand in the console if et.trap_Argv(0) == "mycommand" then -- Do your custom processing here return 1 -- Tells silEnT that this method handled this command end return 0 -- Tells silEnT that this file did not handle this command end 3. Update your server config to load the LUA file.   Add or modify the following server var (lua_modules):
set lua_modules "mycommand.lua" 4. Restart your server.  Assuming you are shrubbot level 2 or higher, !mycommand will execute and do cool stuff.

Behaviour depends on the g_logOptions flag 1.
