FAQ: How do I kick a player as an admin in a network game?

How do I kick a player as an admin in a network game?

A gui to kick a player hasn't been implemented yet (but might be included in a future patch), but it's still possible as an admin by using the console. Just follow these instructions:

First you need to enable the console. Find the "prefs.cs" file TennisCritters/tennis/client/prefs.cs

And find and change the line from 0 to 1:
$Pref::EnableConsole = 1;

You can now enter the console by pressing ~ (tilde)

Then when in the game, list the clients by typing:
listClients();

It will list the client #'s and names such as
1523 - Blobb
1525 - Ralph
1535 - Slappy

Then to kick Ralph, for example, type: kick(1523);

And he will be kicked from the game.

Hope that helps.

I suppose this only works with the full version?
I cant get the console working, when i press the tilde-key nothing happens, but it works just fine with other games (such as BF42, RTCW).

Could you help me out please, because my server is frequenlty visited by people that only intent to ruin the game.

Thanks

The console's disabled by default so it requires a manual edit of the prefs.cs file to get it working.

But there's no need now because a Kick button has been added to admin gui in v1.01.

I got it working now! I must've edited the wrong file.

About that patch, what more can we expect from it ?

Thanks for the help, great game!
