not yet sockhole. many people bind a key to spectate and press it at the appropriate time to avoid white disc but of course only regulars would know that trick. so, if it's acceptable to just have the server do that rather than have the player manually do it, then it can be done.
i kind of got hung up on the use key thing. it was agreed that it would be preferable if the use key was left enabled so it could trigger events while it didn't give the player an advantage against push discs. note that hullu's plugin is an all or nothing ordeal: use key is disabled and that's that (i don't know this first hand btw). the way they have the use key in cs is ideal. rush and i worked hard a few weeks back but came up empty everywhere we turned. it was believed that the use key effects the friction variable for the player making him/her anchored to the ground. we couldn't find exactly where, though, that was happening. i hope rush and i could team up again to hack at it again.
i would like to fix the spectate exploit...but that seems rather difficult. it would be great to get some help on that. it was agreed that even w/ the white disc problem being solved, it was deemed favorable to keep the ability for clients to move themselves into spectate.
