Nah!!! is it not at all possible to tell if a player is type killed? Display an ingame message like -

"Elgan was TYPE KILLED by Viper"

Nothing?

What do you mean by type kills?

Elgan · Post by **Elgan** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 5:40 pm

when a player is typing and gets shot because they cant find the exc button

that's type killing, i think he meant where they were hit (elgan(7331) was gunned down by lizard(13373|2)

No, i mean when you are typing a message in mp. Your avatar turns into a notepad icon so peeps can see you are typing.

It is polite and honorable not to kill someone when they are typing AND cowardly to kill someone when they are typing.

I want to punish the coward type killers!

I think the best way to do it is to make it a rule on your server not to do it.

Or make it a rule not to complain about it

... if you decide to type in combat you're taking the risk...

type killing was one of the worst FPS gamer whines i've ever heard. "You killed me while i was typing! noob!"

So don't type.

oh look, jv said the same thing

Lol, jv's got a point here.

We do have rules about type killing... i will share -

1. type out in the open at your own risk... when typing - face towards the wall or corner..

2. no type killing when rule 1 compliant.

when im tkd peeps say oooh sorry... buut i see even some of my own guys doing it... just tired of beeing daddy.
