[Feature Request] Allow servers to dictate and enforce certain client settings

Open 5TXdYWK opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Would be nice to expose certain settings in the clients via the server config.

  • Tabbing to other peoples' cars
  • Auto-sync when modifying cars
  • Nametag settings
  • Etc.

These could be really handy for different servers/gamemodes where some of those may be important to gameplay/fairness. Thank you!

the intended goal with most of the features you listed was to make them a server toggle, we just haven't gotten there yet

Maybe we can make this a server resource?

  1. Means others can clearly see how it works & modify settings to their liking / remove it completely for no enforcement.
  2. Easy for owners / developers to add additional parameters as desired.
  3. Reduced workload on C++ developers given the greater tasks at hand for them to complete.

Thoughts @20dka @lionkor ?

making it a resource could be done, but then we can't 'lock it down' as easily as a dedicated packet coming from the server. it would also make setting up take more steps on the owners side. but you're correct in that this would put the least amount of load on the server devs, as they wouldn't have to add a new feature

Still needed? Will it be a resource? What's the status?
