Disable Dummy on Solo Maps
add it to sv_solo_server 1 to prevent multiple finishes we cant just players_per_ip 1 cause of timeout
What's wrong with having both you and your dummy play the map at the same time?
players_per_ip 1 is no solution, since that would prevent that two persons in the same room playing the same solo map.
Also I do not see a problem with having the dummy finish at the same time, because you used all the time dummy copy.
It's annoying because it moves everyone else one rank down further. But we can't prevent it easily.
Server flags are send to the player when they connect if I remember correctly, so you can disable the dummy flag when the map reloads. There is probably a way to still get around it since it's purely a UI change as far as I know but it helps a lot of cases since most people won't go through the effort.
It also gives an "unfair" advantage where someone can try faily part twice by disabling dummy_copy just before the hard part.
I guess for testing hard parts you would just put your dummy in a perma practice team and tp it any time to you... You do not need dummy_copy (but on solo maps there is no perma practice team so maybe you save a little time with dummy_copy). Thats what player actually do on faily maps, with very faily parts. I have seen that multiple times. Since this is in theory also possible with an second client, I do not see this as a problem. I only see the problem def- has mentioned.
After you trained the part, you still use dummy_copy to have 2 chances of trying a legit run, so it still gives unfair advantage.
True, I think allowing to set the SERVERCAPFLAG_ALLOWDUMMY via map setting or generally for solo maps, would be ok.
SERVERCAPFLAG_ALLOWDUMMY is a general flag for the server, it can't be changed on map change. We'd have to come up with a different message for it.
I had it implemented as a GameInfoFlag first, but your opinion was it belongs to the Servercap flags :D What a pity :/
