Approved Dr - Can certain weapons be banned on certain maps?

[Bluuwolf]

There's a suggestion I'd like to make but I'm not sure if its possible, so I ask: Can you ban certain weapons on certain maps? In certain deathrun maps some weapons can cause glitches to occur, for example on dr_trollrun the medigun can cause glitches that kill your own team mates and on dr_poker you can use sticky launchers to shoot stickies over hale's wall and stickyjump him into the RED area. (I'm aware I have no proof at the moment, it's just id rather know if its possible to do this before I go through the effort of recording a bunch of demos. I'd rather ask this first instead of finding out you cant do this anyway.)

 

[Sir Cakez]

+1 if these glitches do exist

I banned a couple of people using the stickybomb launcher on dr_poker to do the map exploit, so +1 from me if this can be fixed.

If there a problem with a specific item on any game mode it will get banned from the servers. Provide proof and im sure this process will go quicker.

I don't think they can be disabled for specific maps only, but weapons can be disabled for all maps

IMO the sticky launcher should get banned. It has no use on deathrun and has only caused problems on certain maps

You mean to tell me we would have to ban the medigun? I've noticed that sticky launchers cannot be used on dr_safetyfirst, yet can be used on other maps, how does that work?

I remeber there being an appeal to ban the stickybomb launcher on Safety First a while back, so that's probably why it is banned, don't know how they did it. As for the stickybomb launcher being banned, +1.
Medigun being banned, -1

 

[Bluuwolf]

While we are on the topic of banning weapons: The Cow Mangler? With right-click you can damage hale through the wall on certain maps. (Will record demo as soon as possible.)

You say you need proof, but didn't Biggie literally just confirm the existence of the dr_poker bug?

 

[Sir Cakez]

I think he meant something like a demo or screenshot, but Biggie did say so and you're a big DR player, so I strongly doubt you would be lying.

I know, I'll provide demos for some of the other bugs but an admin literally saying 'I banned people for that.' should be enough in this case.

Yeah but it sounds like a lot of other problems too if you show proof bottiger can see all the problems easily and decide what to ban and what not to. But that's usually if it is a really bad glitch.

Yes you can disable items on certain maps. I was able to do it on my server when I had one.

It IS possible? Alright then. Time to get making some demos.

Edit: Just saying, I'm working with Reaver on this so it's highly likely that he will be the one posting demos.

Edit 2: Even though some of these demos will literally be proof of players doing exploits, can the players shown not get banned? If the glitch is soon going to be impossible anyway is it really necessary to ban them?

First exploit demo: https://www.mediafire.com/?klraeocmqwoyxy6

This shows the Cow Mangler clearly damaging Hale through the invisible wall that surrounds his area on dr_missing. This can be done on a few more maps and as far as I know, any explosive can cause damage through the walls e.g. any rocket launcher, sticky launcher etc.

I also die a humiliating death, so enjoy that too.

If someone is using an exploit or glitch report them and we will ban them.

If a weapon/item is causing the server to crash, people to crash, or causing some kind of major game changer, report it and we will talk about removing the weapon until Valve or whoever made the plugin to fix it.

It isn't exactly fair to ban a weapon because a few people are exploiting with it.

According to bluehawk you can ban items on specific maps, im not trying to get items 100% banned here, but on some maps some weapons are VERY glitchy.

 

[Reaver ✨]

Yes, there are ways to ban certain weapons for certain maps. Really though, that exploit isn't anywhere near as bad as the other things you can do.

Next demo: https://www.mediafire.com/?mnjbh1j3ho48ckf

As previously stated, you can get Hale out into RED's area with stickies. Since this one is so easy to do it is done every time the map is played.

Next demo: https://www.mediafire.com/?wr9c24lq3jca6zm

This is the first demo to show how the medigun affects certain traps on trollrun. As you can see, I make it across the platform with ease, but when Bluu healed me I just fell to my death. Yet another easy to do glitch, meaning there's always people doing it (even unintentionally since new players would not know about it)

Second trap demonstration: https://www.mediafire.com/?zqeqa1i72t4x5qj

Here is the other trap that is affected by the medigun. The Scout was running fine until I healed him, which caused him to be pulled straight into death.

We have some demos.
