Double, triple, multi kills

Do not work?

What's the deal?

Sometimes I kill three people really quickly and I get only a double kill. Other times, I kill two people, get the double kill, and kill a third about 10 seconds later and get the triple kill. Again, a lack of consistency. The game seems like it is based on dice rolls.

Occasionally, you kill a bunch of people quickly and dont even get a double kill. Earlier I saw someone kill someone, they killed me literally 20-25 seconds later, and got a double kill. They didn't not kill anybody else in that period or at the same time as me.

-edit-

Definitely broken/buggy. Just now while playing, I killed two people, got the double kill. I killed a third, no triple kill. I killed a fourth, I got the triple kill. I tried to screen shot it, but using print screen just prints a black screen.

This same happened to me too, and as you have said:
MultiKill {l Wrote}: The game seems like it is based on dice rolls.


Also the same happens with the "Dominating" messages too, i.e. sometimes I kill a lot of people without dying and I don't get any of these messages; yet at times, when I frag a lot and when I die, respawn and kill one guy more, I get them :shock:.

This odd behavior is because of the lag or what? I usually have a latency of 250~380 ms.

I believe the issue lies with this:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
 sv_multikilldelay 3000 // time in milliseconds multiple kills in a row must occur
 sv_spreecount 5 // number of consecutive frags for each spree level
 sv_dominatecount 5 // number of frags on a single player without revenge before it is considered domination

:o I always thought Domination was like in UT2k4, just achieved by not dying. So it is not the case. This explains the odd behavior...

In which file(s) are these variables?

They're in the servexec.cfg file, along with many other things that people complain about. the only cmd i can't find is spawntime and so far i cant get the easter eggs mentioned to work.

spawntime is there:
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
 line 44: // sv_spawndelay 3000 // time in milliseconds before players can respawn in most modes

I still wonder why the official server only supports up to 8 players maximum (serverclientes). They should allow 32 or more.
