the other day i was playing on this castlewars map,and this geek-sounding person comes into the game,All u can hear is his "YES SIR!", "give me an hmg,no wait do u have enough resources? if u dont,then dont give me hmg,but only if u dont have enough resources,because i still need that hmg" and crap like this, i couldnt MUTE him,so i was forced to hear his useless rambling for the whole round,was the mute problem my computer,the server modifications,or just a glitch?

    It isn't just you, there is a bug in the current version of NS that stops you from muting people. There is a fix around, but I don't know where - could someone else post a link plz?

    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=31713&hl=mute' target='_blank'>Here's</a> one of many threads that cover it.

    Essentially - type "toggleeditps" (note the PS not IPS) into console - mute as per normal - then go back to console and type toggleeditps again to reenable your right click menu. The thread mentions binding a key to it and all.

    also occasionally the mous emesses up so while NOT looking at the score menu, toggle your mouse cursor on, then off.

    Then once you go to the menu (TAB i guess?) then toggle it on and mute. Should help.

    I truly hate having to mute players.

    As a team based game NS is as much "what you know" as it is "how well you play"
    Muting a player is a bit like giving the other team an advantage. Though the muted player may be annoying, they do provide useful information from time to time. Information that could have saved you from the skulk he saw hanging from the ceiling above your head.

    Generally there are some players that just need to be muted as their incessant chatter blocks out all aspects of the game.

    It would be very amusing if servers could keep track of who was muted and when. It would be very interesting to see who was the most muted player of all NS.

    As a marine, I muted a player who kept making rediculous comments and tying up the voice com.

    I asked the other players to let me know if he said anything important.

    I got a few replies to that including "It doesn't look like that is going to happen any time soon." :-D

    Soon several other marines were asking me how to mute. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
