Lovely mister "insane homer" has made a nice set of scripts that include all you will need to collect evidence to get peons banned from the servers.

I've tidied them up (with his permission) and included a nice friendly readme with full details on it's use and put them together in this tiny little pack. Feel free to distribute this and edit it as you wish, just make sure credit is given to the original authors.

Basically it allows you to name your demos as you start them, stop them easily and get screenshots and player details to pass on to any admin. Details are included to submit collected evidence to the Blueyonder Day Of Defeat Admins so if you want to make this available for players on your server to use feel free to change that part to suit

Thanks! I'll be modifying and rereleasing for use on the =DD= server [if it ever goes back up...] with credits.

How is this different from going spec taking a screenshot and recording someone?

Well the difference is the ease of use,

you press one button and it'll let you type in a name like you would a message and save the demo as that name, it saves you bringing down the console and typing the full record demo command. This also makes it easier to create a series of demos of a suspicious player. Starting recording also uses the thrid script at the start to make sure you have the player's details

Secondly there is a stop recording button which does exactly what you'd expect.

Thirdly there is a script that takes a snapshot, brings down the console, displays the details of all players, takes a snapshot of that (without WONIDs and other player details no ban can be enforced) and then automatically closes the console.

If you would rather type the commands manually feel free but if like me you would like to automate the process then use these scripts.

I'll be modifying to use the save-Status-to-text method that arse had in his command menu.

Surely saving status to text ( condumps) are more editable than say Bitmaps or Jpegs.

Banning players on evidence, which Blueyonder (http://www.bygames.com/) and Jolt (http://www.dod.jolt.co.uk/) do ( to name a couple), the evidence has to be the least corruptable format.
