Except you guys of course biggrin.gif

What I'm talking about is all the lame, trash taking, taunting opposing team members of a pub game. They completely RUIN this game for me! After every F-ing kill they have to type "HAHA'. WTH is that? Ever heard of good sportsmanship?! You win some, you lose some. Do I type "HAHA' after every kill?? No. It gets tired, FAST.

Anyways, I'm looking for a way to disable ALLCHAT. Or specifially, a way to mute the opposite team.

To mute there voice if all talk is on you can hold tab, click the mouse, then bring the cursor to the voice symble to the right of the players stats. Then click and the icon should change to a circle with a slash through it.

If you are talking about the typed stuff then I dont know jsut play on different servers.

I'm talking about type.

And the 'tab' button only works for your teamates.

Or, if you want to make it stay on screen a shorter amount of time..

hud_saytext_time 2 (where 2 is the number of seconds it will stay on screen)

Best idea is to just get another server. We are not all lamers you know.

Chat *can* be important, don't turn it completely off!

I have no choice. Idiots are ruining the game for me.

It's the idiots that refer to "non-voluntary anal intercourse"(That's the very nicest way to say it, if that's out of line just edit it out mods...) every single time they win or loose that annoy me most. Voice chat and text messages are very usefull in NS and should not be removed, just go to another server where they tend to say more relevant things to game play and less annoying garbage.

Thanks, I'm glad some people share the same feeligns I do. I'll just have to look for other servers to play on.

But I've already mentally banned myself from 2 servers, whose names I will remain anonymous or not if you really want to know. wow.gif

Apart from filtering away alot of cheaters, cheating-death will also filter away people to stupid /lazy to use the program, which is likely the same people who are annoying, maybe try playing on a cheating death server and see if that helps a little?

get cheating death here

Hehe, it seems my tactics are working. biggrin.gif

Nothing is better than taunting those skulks (who had bitten you to arse just moments ago) to leave the server by saying such meaningless lines. tounge.gif

Prune Juice, the Old Fogies flagship server, usually has an admin on, and we encourage sportsmanship. pj.oldf.net

try it out, see if it's your cup o' tea.

It's so lame when the rines start cussing at the aliens when it's nearing endgame.

"haha stupid gorge" "Die F-ing nub" "LoL stupid f-ing Onos died" blah blah blah.

Lame pubbers like that make me want to quit this game over and over again. I don't EVER remember it being THIS BAD on the CS servers when I last played it -4 years ago.

A simple block_opposingteam_chat would fix this, but no such command exists. confused.gif Thanks, though, for the "OLDF" sever suggestion. I'll try to make myself a regular there. Seems like the Cheating Death suggestion didn't help any. The severs are too far between and not enforced at all for some reason.

it's sad that so many servers are like that.

simple fact is it's the same in every single game

easiest solution is to find a server /servers on which there are regular admins who will keep things under control

best way of doing this is hopping on irc and joining popular clan servers - they *tend* to be the best quality... just create your own favourites list of servers that are worth playing on

my NS server list consists of 4 servers... i have slots on 3 of them, so i can always get a place, and the 2 i'm not admin's on are extremely well adminned.. i'm not going to paste ip's here cause thats lame advertisement (and they are UK based - i'm assuming that you're american? simply because majority of people here are)

try TacticalGamer.com [FF on | CD], or LinuxMonster, both have mature players.
Wolv
Don't know where you play, but here in Europe that's hardly an issue at all. Sad to hear it's a problem in the servers where you frequent.

Anyways, isn't it possible to set different display times for team_say and regular say? Just set the latter to 0, or 0.1 or so.
Sky
meh, I've gotten into arguments with the other team, most of it centering on "OMG H4X" or "XENO IS SOOO F@%&ING ****".
That stuff I hate. Pointless, repetitive gloating I also hate...however I also think a little bit of trash talk is ok, if not fun. It gets your blood boiling, makes you play better, gets you into the game, etc. If you really hate it sure block chat, but I always think it's fine for, say, a gorge to say "lol pwned!" if he web-spits two jps to death biggrin.gif . Which I have seen done.

Anyone with ethics knows where the line is, just don't cross it.
Soylent_green
Never really seen the opposing team mouth of in a game of NS. The most annoying thing I see regularly is "OMG <X> is s ofreakin over-powerered!!!11".
God_Killer
I remember seeing a guy with and automatic taunt script after each kill...
something like : Nub!

I would defenitly ban a player doing this
rnn
hud_saytext 1
alias "chatoff" "hud_saytext 0; bind KP_PLUS chaton"
alias "chaton" "hud_saytext 1; bind KP_PLUS chatoff"
bind KP_PLUS "chatoff"

This is what i use anyway.
Jared101
my first suggestion,join servers that start with letters,and are words
aviod your &^%(@!#NSSSVERSCOOL@*#(*&#† servers

like someone else said Lunixmonster is a good server,i play there(just won my first comm game)
if you really cant stand playing with other people in pubs,hop on #nspug
and get a game going

Is there a way to remove (prevent) specific servers from showing up on the list?
Swift_Idiot
Old Fogies is a pretty mature place to play. They permban for swearing.

No, but you can have a list of favorite servers.

Also, I've never seen anyone in NS as annoying as people in WoW. Here's an example of a taunt that a guildie had (until I quit the game):
CODE

____         ________    ____  
|      |       |  ____   |   |      |  
|      |       |  |     |   |  |      |  
|      |___  |  |     |   |  |      |___
|            | |  |___|   |  |            |
|_______| |_______|  |_______|

His was a bit better lined up than mine. Note that this took up the entire height of the default chat window and was yelled (meaning that everyone in the area, including people of the other faction, could hear it).

He had several others, including ones that the mods don't want me to post here.

If you are talking about the typed stuff then I dont know jsut play on different servers.

Just incidentally, muting their voice actually also mutes their text.

Totally agree with you, although I have noticed an increase in these morons since the latest release (inevitable i suppose) just ignore them, ADHD feeds off your retaliations (if you do) the less response they get the chances are they will leave eventually.

Also play around on different servers, find yoursel a nice new home smile-fix.gif there are plenty of great servers out there, with regular admins around also. Dont get disheartend, just play around and be dirty tounge.gif

You can't mute the opposing team. If there was a way, I wouldn't have started this topic in the first place. I like chatting with my own teammates and I enjoy a little trash talk, but sometimes you just want block out the idiots entirely.
Jane
If all talk is on then you can mute the opposing side, if people from both sides are talking and you can't mute them they probably have some obnoxious admin / reserved slot holders plugin for a few people to be able alltalk. I know it is wierd but I have seen it, there is nothing more obnoxious, just leave.

I have no problems muting spammers, but I have a plea to pls not just mute people if you think they are young, because some females and young players like commanding, and it makes it difficult if half (or more) of the team has you muted.
TankBuster
Those alltalk servers are rare, besides my problem it not so much what is spoken over the mic, I'm looking for a way to block text from the opposing team.
