pyplanet-afk-spec 0.7.1

A Pyplanet server controller plugin to automatically move players to spectator mode if they are AFK.

afk_spec

PyPlanet plugin to detect AFK players and move them into spectator mode.

This plugin works by repeatedly querying the player's inputs and checking if the player is currently steering, braking or pressing the gas pedal. If the player is found not to be pressing any inputs for a (configurable) period of time, they are considered AFK and moved to spectator.

The plugin also lets you adda a button to rejoin the game for new players who may be confused with the spectator mode.

Installation

python -m pip install --upgrade pyplanet-afk-spec

Then open settings/apps.py with a text editor and append to the list in 'default':
