I'm getting sick of all those typekillers out there, so I had an idea for prevention. Or let's say some ideas.
1. Place a green exclamation mark above the players head while typing. When he/she gets shot, the typekiller will get the same damage dealt to the one typing.
2. Same as above, but then the typekillers weapon will be disabled for 10 seconds.
Post your own ideas here, I figured out it can be done with server side coding, so don't come with any impossible ideas.

Typekilling is a fact of life in Renegade. Simply don't let it get to you. I usually don't terribly mind it because sniping ISN'T my life (unlike some members of these forums)!!!

Firstly, yes RoShamBo would be right. It would require client-side coding.
Secondly, yea it is annoying for type killers, but it's not that big of a deal. However...

I do like that idea, minus the dealing damage to the shooter....

You could make a character un-able to take damage while typing, you could set a flag over there head, you could apply the damage to the shooter instead or even teleport them to a safe place whilst typing, then send them back when they're done.
All of these things can, and would be exploited.

Get two keyboards and grow a third arm.
Problem solved.
|
Or...Get teamspeak, a microphone, and get over mic-fright.

About having the indicator above your head when you're typing, that's not the best idea.
It was like that in Jedi Knight 2, and it was abused to hell. People would join servers, run to the field just to type/talk to each other rather than play. If they were killed, kicks and bans were initiated.
Just play when you're ingame. Don't resort to typing unless you're in your base or a safe area - it's a strategic thing, to communicate when you're safe rather than unsafe. Renegade never required THAT much typing, just basics (apc inc, stank rush, med rush, brb, etc)
If you're just talking to a friend, hop on teamspeak.

Obby seems to prefer to shoot soldiers more than tanks. Have one invincible typing GDI guy and have a bunch of tanks roll in, lol.

Just have a radio command that signifies that the user can't type right now as he/she is in the middle of a battle. That way if someone is talking to someone all of a sudden, they can notify the other player that they can't chat at the moment, e.g. a flamer is kebab-ing that player.

I missed the part where Renegade was a chatroom. Or a messenger service. Or a message board. Or....

If u type, u gain the advantage of telling your team what's happening. There must also be a risk assigned to this advantage to even things up.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

So you want players to walk back to their base first and then send a team chat message "stanks inc wf side"?
|
you decide what's more important; staying alive or letting your team know about the threat to your base.
if there was a stank rush about to happen and I wasn't in a position to do much about it, I'd WANT to be killed so I could actually help against it.
