Groups Implementation (Split)

[LethalEncounter]

Hey JA (or Scatman), you think you will be around tomorrow night to help me test the group code? I have it mostly finished now, and I figure that I'll be able to finish it up by then.

[Scatman]

I should be. Let me know when and I'll hop on.

[John Adams]

Yepper, definitely will make myself available for this.

Unfortunately I ran into some issues with the group stuff that I hadn't considered so it won't be done tonight. Hopefully I can get it done by tomorrow night after I get back from the lake. After I get finished for tonight I'll leave the server up so you can play with what works as of right now. However, it will still be a work in progress. :/

Ahh ok, I keep trying to connect and get the boot. So I guess I'll just stop!

I am suffering some massive hardware failures in the home today... not sure wtf is up. Everything from PC's to Stereo equip, just clicking off for no apparent reason. I need to move, before all my shit is ruined. I hate Queen Creek - worst run city in the universe.

Heh, tell me about it. I had to buy a new car battery today after my car wouldn't start when I was trying to head home from the grocery store. Apparently the battery was on it's last leg because the terminals were covered with the corrosion stuff and it was preventing any remaining charge from turning over the starter :/

LE, John said his logs had 3 clients in them for the grouping.

[LethalEncounter]

Yah I remember him uploading some, I just hadn't checked it out because I had my hands full implementing the stuff from your logs

[John Adams]

LE, is your server crashing, or am I?

Figured out why my PC is shutting off. The CPU is about 90 degrees C

Fan busted. Think that'll do it?

[LethalEncounter]

I was screwing around with the group commands that still need a lot of work, so it was crashing

[John Adams]

Ok, let is know if you still need us logged in.

[LethalEncounter]

Nah, I think I know of most of the issues still remaining. Hopefully I'll get them fixed tomorrow. I'll leave it up tonight if you want to play around with it. Just keep in mind that it is just as likely to crash at this point as it is to work correctly

Are you sure that is not just your outside air temp?

hehe...j/k. you have a spare fan lying around?

[LethalEncounter]

When someone goes linkdead, is that person immediately removed from the group or are they given a couple of minutes to log back in before they are removed?

[LethalEncounter]

Here is how I was implementing it, let me know if this is wrong:

1. If a player gets disconnected, they are given 2 minutes after their client is removed from the game during which if they come back they will rejoin the same group.
2. If a player does not return during the two minutes they are removed from the group.
3. The 2 minute timer also applies if the player is zoning and gets disconnected.
4. The group leader can still kick the client with the standard /kickfromgroup command during the timer.
